He also answered the charge OF
Edward J. Reilly, who said the State
was trying to make Hauptmann out as
both a master mind and fool. by
saving the accused man was an ego

cause him to think he could talk TO
Condor without mask.
The prosecutor defended vigorously

it was Hauptmann. There is a diff

weird about it. Why. that voice!
God! I can't sleep after I hear 1t
nights myself"
The attorney general had not fin
ished his summation when court re-
cessed for luncheon at 1890 pm.
IF YOU get the feeling that this case
is what Mr.. Reilly says. perfect case,
1t is your solemn duty to find a verdict

"Hauptmann Can Answer"
He described what he called a per-
feet case for mercy, and declared the
Hauptmann case was not OF that Klno.
There may be some questions you
can't answer" He gestured toward
Hauptmann. But there sits man
who can answer them. He will be

wilentz asked himself what type of
man would commit the Lindbergh
crime. He also answered himself:
He wouldn't be an American. No
American gangster and no American
racketeer ever sank to the level of kill

had ice water in his veins. not blood.
It had to be the fellow that was an
eeomaniac who thought he was omnip-
otent. It had to be secretive fellow
that wouldn't tell his wife about his
money. It had to be a fellow that
could undergo hardships, the kind Of
a fellow that would stowaway on a
boat and travel 5000 miles to sneak
into the country in coal bin.
"Yes, it would have to be the type
Of man that would hold up women at
the point of a gun. women wheeling
baby carriages. And the authorities

Bruno Richard Hauptmann."
He charged the defense tried to
"assassinate character" under the
protection of the court. referring to
Reilly's charges that the police framed
evidence and that Lindbergh servants
were implicated in the crime.
