the Lindbergh kidnapping to him.
an amount, instead of before, and held
up one of Hauptmann's own docu-
ments to show that in this wise it COM
pared with the ransom notes.
He defended the elderly DR.. Condor
from the defense inSinuationS.
If the Lord ever spares me and I
am one-half the man at rs that old
DR.. John F. Condor. the doctor from
the Bronx, is. 1 want to tell you. if
it is possible I will be more grateful
to the Lord than 1 can imagine any
person is
For contrast to DR.. Condor WilentZ
said, was perjurer who skunk to the
heavens!"
AS he reviewed the events that fol-
lowed the kidnapping, the negotiations
for the ransom and the sending of the
baby's sleeping suit to Col Lindbergh.
the prosecutor draped the tiny
pajamas across the jury rail. Some
of the woman jurors gazed at it and
swallowed,
Would Cut Out Heart"
The attorney general emphasized
the cruelty of the futile searches Col.
Lindbergh was forced to make for his
baby, which then lay dead and I'M
noticed in a shallow grave. He said
of Hauptmann:
why, he would cut out your heart,
honestly. with razor and think moth
ing of it, and go upstairs and eat.
That's how cold FLOODED this MUIR
derer is"
AS to Isador Fisch, Hauptmann's
alibi for the money found in his ga
rage and the target of the defense,
who charged he, not Hauptmann, was
the receiver of the ransom, Wilentz
said the defense didn't prove any
thing except that Fisch was a poor
man, that he never owned an auto
mobile, had the cheapest room, that
Fisch gave Hauptmann everything he
had before he left, and that Haupt-
mann supplied him with money for
the trip ito Germany, where Fisch
died of tuberculosis).
We have treated this fellow
CHauptmann) entirely too we'll" Will
entz told the jury. IF I had my
choice I wouldn't get in the same
room, I wouldn't become contami-
mated. I wouldn't want to breathe
the same air feel itchy, feel oozy,
just couldn't stand being anywhere
near him. I never would walk into
that Jail even to get confession from
him
This murder of the Lindbergh
child he cried, would shrink into
absolute insigniflcance in comparison
to the crime that would be committed
if this man were freed. That would
be the crime of the century.
TO let him roam the streets of this
country and make every woman in her
home Shudder again, that would be a
real tragedy. an American tragedy"
Claims Baby Was Crushed.
Wilentz contended, too that Haupt-
mann Crushed" the baby into in
sensibility before he took the child
from the nursery. that he used the
chisel found near the house for this
purpose.
Thus, he explained, the baby made
no outcry-a point the defense had
emphasized
The excitement in the court plain
ly irritated Justice Trenchard. and
after instructing the jury to disre-
gard anything irrelevant they may
have heard. he announced he would
charge them today. The charge will
probably be between As minutes and
an hour in length.
Burns was at the trial soon after it
opened six weeks ago and studied
Hauptmann's face to determine in his
own mind if he was the same man as
the one who confessed"
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head
of the State police, said Rev. Mr..
Burns came to the authorities some
weeks ago and told them that Haupt-
mann was the man who had con-
fessed" to him. Earlier today the
clergyman said that although the
man who came to his church IRE
sembled Hauptmann" he was not as
dark complexioned as the defendant.
Was in Court All Day.
A resident of Tenafly, Burns had
been in court all day.
The jury, once it receives the case
tomorrow, will not be permitted to
leave its guarded elaboration chamber
in the rear of the court house.

allows the jurors to do as they will as
long as they remain in the room.
A guard of six uniformed troopers
was assigned to the jury today on
order of Justice Trenchard, to prevent
ANY annoyance" from the crowds in
the court room and street.
Attorney General Wilentz said "hys-
terical" women in the crowd might
seek to reach the jurors quarters and
attempt to influence them.
The summation, at times, was little
more than an angry TRADE.
RambIes Back and Forth.
Wilentz rambled back and forth
over the great field of circumstantial
evidence, trying to link the carpenter
with the kidnap ladder, the ransom
notes, the baby's sleeping garment
the $4,000 ransom collection, but ever
and again he returned to Hauptmann
himself to denounce him, to call him
names. to call him public enemy Of
the world No. /.
He watched Wilentz as he had
