WITNESSES IN
FISCH MYTH
Held SECRET
oCopyrieht. 1885. by tPJ)

copyright, 1885. by tPD
PENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. Is. Up
Three mystery witnesses In the
trial OF Bruno Richard Hauptmann
for the Lindbergh Staying came TO
the end OF their transatlantic
trail Tuesday. brought here in q
prosecution effort to break Haupt-
1ann's state Labelled "Fisch myth"
The prosecution took elaborate
precautions to guard the witnesses,
but 1t was understood they are Ger
mans who will answer Hauptmann's
story that he received the Lindbergh
ransom money unwitt.ngly from his
dead friend Isador Fisch.
Held In Seclusion
At least two Of them we're be-
lieved to be relatives Of FiSch. come
to testify that he died in poverty
and never showed signs OF having
possessed the ransom wealth.
As the lie de France headed up
New York bay TO dock. the state Is
10 whisk the witnesses away from
quarantine aboard a evenue cutter
and spirit them To "A spot OF seclu-
sion.
New York Detective Arthur John
son accompanied them, returning TO
testify for the state OF his investi-
CATION abroad into Hauptmann's
past and the Fisch angle.
In answer to the defense conten-
ton that Fisch wrote the Lind
bergh ransom notes, collected the
$4,000 and entrusted part OF II to
Hauptmann before he sailed into
Germany. where he died ten months
ago. a member Of the prosecution
said:
New Jersey has conclusive proof
that Fisch could not have written
the ransom notes"
The name OF Fisch went into the
court record for the first time dur
ing the defense's cross-examination
OF state handwriting experts. Haupt-
mann's attorneys sought to draw an
admission that F1sch might have
been the ransom note writer.
Paper Is Important
The first two Of the states au-
thorities. Albert 8. Osborn and e.
bridge w. Stein, testified they were
convinced Hauptmann was the writ
er and that Fisch's handwriting bore
no resemblance TO that OF the ram
som extortionist.
The defense limited Fisch might
have copied Hauptmann's hand
writing. To counteract this conten-
ton, the state said 1t would prove
that Fisch did not meet his subse-
quent business partner. Hauptmann,
until months after the Lindbergh
kidnapping had been committed and
the ransom collected.
The prosecution said IL would en-
deavor to establish that all IA ran
som notes we're written or the same
five-and-ten cent store stationery,
developing this point toward the
end Of the handwriting testimony.
Stationery OF the same sort was
found in Hauptmann's Bronx home,
state attorneys said. and importance
was attached to the fact that two
of the ransom notes we're written
on q single sheet OF letter paper
which had been torn in two.
There Is great significance a
state authority said, lin the ques-
ton Of two notes being written on
the same sheet Of naDer"
