EXPERT PROVES HAUPTMANN WAS
 WRITER OF NOTE
F a nous Scientist De- scribes Writing and
 Misspelling of Words

Pennington, N. J., January IT. (UP)-Bruno Richard Hauptmann, his face a death-like mask, today heard himself described as the au- thor of the Lindbergh ransom notes.
 Albert S. Osborn, handwriting expert and scientist, declared:
 l. All the ransom notes were written by the same hand.
 2. The writing in the ransom notes stamps them as the product of Hauptmann, as proved by Hauptmann's script in other docu- ments.
 Osborn described the contents of the notes, and placed before the jury a graphic picture of their similarities and peculiarities, of which he noted, he said, "seven or eight"
 He called attention to the re- peated use of the word "singna- ture" for signature" and ingnore" for "ignore".
 Bundle of Ransom Bills
 Before the handwriting expert, a key witness in the prosecutions case, was called to testify, the court had received for identifica- tion the bundle of $14,600 in ran- som bills that was dug from hiding places in Hauptmann's garage i'll the Bronx.
 Frank J. Wilson, internal rev. enue intelligence officer, identi- fled the money and told of the governments tracing other ran- som bills from shops and other sources in New York.
 The most striking testimony he offered was that since Hauptmann's arrest, no further ransom money has been recovered. But he quali- fled the statement, under cross-ex- animation, by saying that he could not check every place in the world to determine the truth of his be- lief.
 The defense explored deeply the facts surrounding deposit of near- ly $3,000 in ransom bills in the fed eral reserve bank, on a slip signed "J. J. Faulkner" which was not in Hauptmann's handwriting, but the state countered with the suggestion that it was possible for any per- son to sign fictitious name to such a deposit slip.
 Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf testified briefly to specimens of Hauptmann's handwriting, imme- diately before the noted experft, Osborn, was called to the stand.
 Osborn dwelt in detail upon the similarity of the symbols at the bottom of each ransom note, de- claring that they could not have been made from description" since they were mechanically iden- tical, and the three pin holes" in such were not "perforations" but punched" by Some crude mechan- ical device"
 Hold them up to the light to- gether, and you can see through the punches-they are identical" he said.
 Court recessed for lunch while Osborn was telling his expressing story.
