feet-and it's not breaking. And I
weigh $50 pounds"
Mud on the suitcase, mud on
the floor.
When We don't bring the mud in
they say We should have. When We
bring the ladder IN they say its too
much
The whole world is not against
Hsuptmann.
That table CWilentz pointed TO
defensej has not got a monopoly on
honesty. not by a long sight
Wilentz continued:
We've got TO the stage in this
country where If a criminal gets
the right lawyer-the right mouth
piece-why he's as good as freed"
Reilly's face flushed.
Wilentz left no stone unturned TO
uncover the character Of the wit
nesses brought TO Pennington by the
defense. He spared none Of them,
from the men who were convicted
Of Ofenses against women TO those
who were guilty Of bOotlegging.
Attacks Defense Witnesses
For 20 minutes yesterday counsel
talked about the defense witnesses,
he said. That's all they were
worth.
They had four handwriting ex-
perts down IN Trenton. Only one
testified.
Why. even Hauptmann himself
said the writing looks like mine
They talk of the defense having
the handicap Of no money. There
isn't a scintilla of evidence that
they haven't any. think they have
plenty Of money.
They got II from cranks, un-
Americans and others from all over
the country. They had enough
money TO hire what they thought
were the four best lawyers available
enough money to hire one of the
best criminal lawyers in the East.
Fails Defense Story
so there must be some money
somewhere. Certainly the lawyers
wouldn't do it just to represent a
murderer.
The defense says Col. Lindbergh
could not remember the voice for
tWo years" Wilentz said.
Indy. who knew the whirr of
every single piece in that motor
that took him across the ocean.
Indy couldn't forget the voice of
the man who he knew tOcA his
baby.
"Out there in st. Raynlonds-
the greatest mOnsent in his life
Lindbergh was there 10 get his
baby. His ocean flight seemed as
nothing TO him
He heard the call. Hey doktor,
hey dOktOr.
Why if that man pointing to
Hauptmannl said a word above a
whisper. I'd remember it-that
strange quality.
Are you going to substitute your
Judgment for Lindy's: Indy who
sat in the autOmObile-Lindyw whose
heart was crushed? He couldn't
forget that vOice-ever."
Justice TrenchaTd. it was believed. +
would tell the jury that it can find
Hauptmann guilty without recon-
mendatiOn. which would mean
death: guilty with a recommended
ton of mercy, which would mean
life Imprisonment; or not guilty. He
announced last night that when Mr.
Wilentz finishes. he will ask the jury
If it would prefer waiting until
Wednesday for his charge and its
deliberations.
Because some one must have the
last word, and because. under the
laws Of legal procedure, the state
has il. Mr.. Wilentz was in a favor
able position. Lawyers know that
the last phrases Of a summation or
a charge 90 the jury. very often re-
main indellDly imprinted on their
minds
Mr.. Reilly in his summation. was
working against the disadvantage of
knowing his every statement would
be challenged BY the attorney gen.
eral.
The defense counsel finished on
a dramatic nOte-he had spoken of
the kidnapped son of Charles A.
Lindbergh. and pictured him as
resting now in Heaven"
The defense believed Mr.. Reilly
had made a powerful, lasting i'm
preston on the jury. When he
finished at the days end. the de-
PENDANT himself said: Mr.. Reilly.
I thank YOU"
