Q.-Who did you testify for in

Q.-But you were employed as

you? A.-Well, I was an opera

Q.-Isn't it a fact you were be-

defense in the Hall.Mills case
while you were testifying for the
State? Ayes.
Mr.. Wilentz forced Mr.. Som
mer to admit he had twice visited
the office of Edward j. Reilly.
chief counsel for the defense.
Q.-What is the address of Mr..
Reilly's office in Brooklyn? A
26 Court St.
Q.-How many times have you
been there. A.-TWice.
Mr.. Wilentz asked the bespec-
tacled witness if he hadn't testi-
fled for money in the case of
Adelines, Smith VS.. the Peerles
Glass Company.
Q.-You testified falsely in that
case didn't you? A.-Not to my
knowledge.
Q.-Didn't you make out an af.
fidavit to that effect? Al made
out an affidavit that a lawyer
tried to get me to testify falsely.
Defense Attorney Frederick A.
Pope objected strenuously to Mr..
Wilentz' line of interrogation. But
the Attorney General persisted.
Mr.. Wilentz said:
II want to prove this man
came here for a price,"
Justice Trenchard ruled Mr..
Wilentz must curtail the scope of
his probing into Sommer's court
record.
Mr.. Wilentz proceeded to point
out the mistakes Mr.. SommerS had
made in the Smith case. He en-
deavored to show he had falsely

threatened to go to the district
attorney when he was not paid

Q.-Would you swear it is the

Q.-But you do know he wasn't

Mr.. Wilentz suddenly picked up
the transcript of Mr.. Sommer's S

showed where Mr.. Sommer had
twice testified that the short man

the night of one of their music
meetings.
Mr.. WilentZ asked suddenly:
isn't it q fact that Haupt-
mann chose Saturday night for
his music party and collected
the ransom money from DIR.
Condor that night so he could
have you for an alibi?"
Frederick A. Pope, Of defense
counsel, broke into laughter at
this question: He said:
I'VE object to this question,
of course. We ask the court to
admOnish the attorney general
for asking this form of question
and also to have the jury dis
regard the question"
Justice Trenchard sustained Mr..
Pope's objection and instructed
the jury to disregard the question.
Mr.. Kloppenburg denied he had
gone back to police in New York
after his original questioning to
change his story.
Justice Trenchard then asked
the witness in what mouth it was
that Fisch sailed for Germany.
It was December, 1888.
On redirect examination. Mr..
Reilly asked Mr.. Kloppenburg if
there were any other reasons for

LupicG Testifies

Ben Lupica, former Princeton
University undergraduate and q
defense witness, created a Sensa-
ton in court earlier today when,
on croSs-examination, he admitted
Hauptmann "reSembled" a man
he had seen in an automobile with
a ladder near the Lindbergh estate
gatehouse on March /, 1882
the day of the kidnapping Of the
Lindbergh baby.
Just a few minutes before, un-
der direct examination, Mr..
Lupica had said he could not
identify Hauptmann as the man.
He first said the man was thin
and Sharp-featured and looked
like an American. He said the
automobile the stranger drove

Refers to Goethe

Frau Braunlich-zaenglein said
the science Of the study of hand
writing is much older in Europe
than in America. She pointed
out that Germany's famous liter
ary genius, Wolfgang Won Goethe
studied handwriting $50 years
ago and wrote pamphlets on tho
subject.
She is a handsome Bavariar
woman. She is an executive Of
the international Sudden &c
sellschaft. She became inter
ested in Hautpmann's penman
ship and the writing of the ran
som notes when Germans in this
country expressed the opinion
that a European expert should
be "alled into the case.
The trial is moving along al
fairly fast gait. The defenst
expects to rest its case on Thurs
day. They have about 80 wit
nesses yet to call, according tt
Attorney Reilly.
How long the State will take on
rebuttal largely depends upon thu
evidence the defense witnesse;
will give this week.

Falls in Trap

Attorney General Wilentz took
Mr.. Kloppenburg over for cross
examination. The witness ad
mitted Fisch lived at the home
of Mrs. Greta Henckel when he
met him. Mrs. Henckel was a
friend of Hauptmann.
Q.-Now, the night of the party
did you see FiSch leave Haupt
mann'S house? Al don't re,
member for sure. I couldn't say
for sure.
Q.-Then you don't know but
what he took that package back
with him, do you? A. (Grinnine
and squirming) - Well, I don't
know-but I'm sure that package
was left there.
Mr.. Kloppenburg finally said he
remembered being at the Bronx
district attorneys office on the
first Saturday after Hauptmann's
arrest.
o-Do you remember they were
asking you about March and
April, 1882? You knew April 2,
1882, was the date on which DR.
Condor paid the $4,000 and you
knew Hauptmann was accused of
being the man who got that
money? Ayes.
Q.-When you were in the
Bronx district attorneys office,
you knew what the charge was; he
was the man who was charged
with receiving $4,000 on April 2
1882? Ayes.

if he had not been paid for two
articles in the New York papers
Mr.. Lupica had been paid.
And hadn't these two stories
under the by-line ''By Ben Lupica, .
started out II saw Bruno Richard

"Yes."
Q.-And didn't the Attorney
General then caution you against
making such statements when YOU
merely meant there was a resem
blance between Hauptmann and
the man you saw? Ayes.
Q.-And isn't that what you
told the Attorney General and
the Grand Jury-that Bruno Rich.
ard Hauptmann does resemble the
man you saw with the ladder?
A.-Yes.
Q.-And isn't that what you
say now? Ayes.
Mr.. Wilentz said:
That's ALL"
On redirect examination, Mr.
Fisher again pointed out that the
State had not summoned Mr.. Lu'
plea to testify, trying to create
the impression Hauptmann's
resemblance to the man in the
Dodge car with the ladder was toe
faint to be positive.
Attorney General Wilentz made
a lashing attack on the testimony
and previous court appearances OF
Peter H. Sommer, Hauptmann
alibi witness, as the trial resumed
this morning, entering it's sixth
week.
There were indications that the
defense was nearing the close of
its case and that this probably
would be the final week of the
trial.
Mr.. Wilentz drew from Mr..
Sommer admissions of error in
his testimony Friday when he
sought to link Isador Fisch and
Violet Sharpe to the kidnapping,
claiming he had seen a couple
resembling them with a blond baby
in New York the night of the kid.

Mr.. Sommer, a New York city
employe, testified the man and
woman boarded a street car out
side the West Forty-second Street

midnight on March /, 1892. This
would be about three hours after
the Lindbergh baby was abducted
Attorney General Wilentz, natti

Q.-You said Friday you saw q
