Defense Counsel Worried
a CHEEKY little man who has been
doing little Of the laundering but
more Of the legal work for the de-
tense, admitted today that Mr.. Os-
borns testimony was a powerful
suggestion that Hauptmann may
have had something to do with the
extortiOn. He is Frederick A. Pope.
and he talked in more than Ordinsr-
lily serious tones after Mr.. Osborn
stepped down from the stand.
We will zoe able to bring other
experts" he said, who can point
out that our client could not posi-
bly, have written the notes. but the
first man to impress the jury. the
first man TO have his day IN cou 3,
always is listened to with respect ="
The defense appeared yesterday
to have exploded a depth bomb in
the states contention that it had
traced $40 500 Of the s50,00 ransom
money to Hauptmann.
Decide Bomb" is Harmless
The prosecution. after a confer
ence last night. decided the bomb
was harmless. It said the testimony
OF Frank J. Wilson. a special inves-
tigatOr for the Internal Revenue
Department, in which he admitted
that 10 his knowledge only SIG 900
OF the ransom money had been
turned IN to the United States
Treasury Department. would be off,
set by other testimony using
Hauptmann's bank accounts to show
where the money went.
This much the prosecution re-
vealed.
Every bank in which Haupt-
mannS money was found was in
close proximity to the firm Of
Steiner. Rouse &. Co. where Haupt-
mann had his brokerage account.
one of which was in the name Of
Anna Schoeffler ms wife.
Well put in Hauptman's hands
at least $40 500 which he can not
account for. and for which he will
have the testimony in his own
figures" the prosecution said.
Lost $1,000 in Market
1t was known that Hauptmann
has claimed. since his arrest, that
he was earning a living through
playing the stock market. 1t is al
SO known that he actually lost ap-
proximately $1,000 in stock deals
from March, 1882, 70 the time of
his arrest RE had several thou
sand dollars in stocks, securities and
bank deposits when he was arrested.
And he had two mortgages. with
face value of $500. which have
been turned over to his various de-
Tense counsel. and which are even
now the subject of litigation in New
York courts.
In addition to that, he says he
gave ISidor FiSch, a consumptiye
friend with whom he was asSo-
Ciated in the fur business. $500 IL
cash as a lOan-the loan which
Fisch returned. according to Haupt-
mann'S story. by leaving with him
a shoe box full of Lindbergh ransom
currency.
Wilson hedged to some extent on
his story yesterday, by saying that
nobody could tell to a penny ex-
actly how much of the ransom
money actually was turned into the
Treasury.
Prosecution Holding Back
The prosecution is holding back
some OF the most vital parts of its
testimony
AS the case stood today. at the
conclusion of the eighth day of trial
and always remembering that the
defense has not yet submitted a
witness in behalf of the hollow
eyed. flat-cheeked prisoner-the
state had presented the following
facts:
1. The kidnapping and murder of
the child were proved by Col
Charles A Lindbergh. his wife. Anne
Morrow Lindbergh. nurSemaid Betty
Gov. Mrs. Oliver Whatelv. widow of
the Lindbergh butler. and members
of the police forces of Hopewell and
New Jersey.
,. The passage of the ransom
money was proved by Col. Lind
krr-rI, II, q l. -
Al Reich daisies bodyguard). and
Col. Henry c. Breckinridge. friend
and legal adviser of Col. Lindbergh
3. The innocence Of DR.. Condor
was vigorously established by Col

home Of the Lindberghs on the day
of the kidnapping. by Amandus

5. The former German machine
gunner has been identified by "Jaf-
sic as the man who met him in
Woodlanw Cemetery and bargained
with him for the return of the
child; received the package of ran
som money from his hands in ST.
RaymondS Cemetery in the Bronx;
told him he had been in the Lind
bergh nursery on the night of the
kidnapping and proved it by deScrib-
ing how the baby'S bed was ar
