PENNINGTON, N. j.. January A.
The third day of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann's trial for life began at
1901 am. today, with Col. Charles
A. Lindbergh returning to the wit
ness stand to continue his direct tes-
timony.
The jury was in court early and
posed for innumerable photographs
the flash bulbs Of the photographers
blooming in bright spots Of light all
over the courtroom.
The opposing legal stats also were
on hand before Supreme Court JUS
tice Thomas w. Trenchard appeared
on the bench. There were short,
whispered conferences at defense and
prosecution tables.
The ransom notes, In their trans
parent cellophane envelopes, received
much attention by the States attor-
ney.
The buzz of conversation died down
as Judge Trenchard mounted the
bench and the jury roll was called
Then Hauptmann, looking paler and
more deep eyed than usual, was
brought into court with his State
trooper and deputy sheriff guards. He
did not pause tc talk to his counsel
as he did yesterday.
Lindbergh Appears.
Lindbergh, who was on the stand
at adjournment yesterday, entered
court four minutes after Justice
Trenchard.
He wore the same gray suit rs yes
terday. a blue shirt and blue-and-
white-striped tie.
He was accompanied by Col. H.
Norman Schwarzkopf. head Of the
New Jersey State police
Justice Trenchard issued stern
warning to photographers that no pic
lures be taken in court.
Judge Trenchard opened the trial
with the remark. "If the counsel are
ready, Col. Lindbergh. you may take
the stand"
The aviator then took long strides
to the stand. He crossed his legs,
threw one arm over the back Of his
chair, and smiled slightly
Hauptmann fixed his pale blue eyes
on the flying colonel as the testimony
progressed. Lindbergh looked straight
at Attorney General David T. Wilentz,
who questioned him.
Footprint Questions.
Wilentz asked:
Now, colonel, you were telling US
about the second note you received
and. getting away from that moment
and returning to the home again. you
said you went into the room, I think,
on two occasions, after which, or be-
tween which, you went out with your
rife. Now will you tell us about the
condition of the room with reference
to whether or not there were any foot
prints Of any kind at all in the room."
Lindbergh answered:
There were prints on the suit case
or on top of the suit case which was
under the window on the southeast
side of the nursery. There was also
at least one print on the floor beneath
that window and inside of the suit
case, which was on a small check, and
there was also. according to my best
recollection, a print on the window sill
ITSELF"
Continuing the examination:
@. What do you mean by q print,
colonel? >
A. A deposit of yellow clay. will
call it.
@. Sort of mud?
A. Well, mud carries more Of the
distinction Of blackness to me; it was
yellowish, red clay, such as outside
the house beneath that window.
Q. see.
A. The length and approximately
the breadth Of a mans foot the prints
were not as distinct as to be able to
see the complete outline Of q foot.
But they were very definitely made by
mans foot.
@. So that, as understand it then,
there were these-we will call them
prints from the window sill in the
direction of the crib, toward the crib.
A. There was at least one between
the window sill and the crib, in addi-
ton to the others.
Identifies Chest.
@. When you talk about the chest,
I show you exhibit Sill and ask you
whether or not the chest which ap-
pears on that exhibit right irnmedi-
ately adjoining the window Is the
chest that you refer to?
A. It is. .'..
The name of DR.. John r. Condor,
the Jafsie of the ransom negotiations.
was mentioned in testimony for the
first time when Wilentz produced ad-
ditional ransom notes.
Eventually did you meet DR.. Con-
don?"
"Yes," said the father Of the slain
child. 1T was the evening Of March
or early in the morning Of March
TO-"
And through him did you receive
these notes?"
"Yes. DR.. Condor brought these
with him to our home In Hopewell
that evening"" he said.
Wilentz then offered three more
ransom notes and their envelope as
evidence. They were accepted.
Wilentz then took the ransom notes,
passed them to Defense Counsel
Reilly for brief scrutiny, and offered
them as evidence.
did you authorize DR.. Condor
to conduct ransom negotiations? ?"
Wilentz resumed.
