 What Reilly Says
 Remington, N. J.. Feb l.-- (CP)
 Counsel for Bruno Richard Hauptmann will prove that Isidor Fisch mot only received the Lind bergh ransom but also had a large part in the kidnapping" Edward J. 1leiliy, chief Of the defense staff, said at the noon recess to-day.
 The question came up when Reilly was asked about the defense handwriting testimony which started to-day.
 "'what we are trying 10 prove,' he said. "is that Hauptmann did not write the ransom notes"
 However, if funds can be ob- taAned and fear--induced by fhreats--can be overcome, we will produce witnesses from various parts Of the United States and Canada who will support our con tention that not only did Fisch receive the ransom but also had large part in the Kidnapping"
 Justice Trenchard took the bench at 1:45 and the direct examina- fion of Trendley was resumed.
 Q. (gy Reilly) does ''gut" ap- pear in Osborn's charts? A. No 1t does not.
 c. Is the word "gut" distinctive in it's character? A. No. it is not.
 c. If were to cover up that line. there would be difficulty iu finding its meaning? A. Yes.
 Reilly took his pointer and q book of photographs, and asked q tn us.H, Iaaf 11lg n v other distinctive characters were not omitted from the Osborn charts.
 Q. Now I take the word "care' and ask you if you find it on the Osborn charts? A. No.
 q. So we now have nine lines of a letter which contains 12 lines, and the only symbol in the Os- born chart that corresponds are the letters "is". A. That is correct
 Reilly then called his attention to a. number of long words which were correctly spelled, with an in- ference that the writer purposely lnisspelled small words in order to disguise his work.
 Reilly pointed to the word "indi- cation" and asked the expert if it's
  phonetic attempt at disguise. Trendley said that was possible.
 Q. And did you find this word (indication) ip the Osborn writ ing? A. did not.
 q. Might the indication" be meant to be Instructions as to say Instructions for ouer singna- turef' as in the note? A. Yes it might be.
 O. Turning to the "fors' on the note, they are all different, aren't they? A. Yes they are.
 q. Is there any of the 'fors" on the Hauptmann writings that conpAres with the ransom note? A. No. In the Hauptmann writing, all are connected letters, with the same upstroke.
 c. The next set of symbols ap- paPently was intended for the word ''ali'? A. Yes.
 a. Does that indicate to you q disguised handwriting? A. It does. Q. Is it significant, is 1t distincs tiveg A. Yes. e. And do you find it in the Os- born writings? A. You do not.
 Q. call your attention to the word ''singnature". Is that on MT Osborn's charts? A. Yes. It's on the ransom note side, but not in tue Hauptmann request writing side.
 O. Have you the files of another expert which compares the "sing- nature" of the ransom notes which compares with anything that Hauptmann ever wrote? A. No, believe not.
 aJuror No 3, Mrs Vera Snyder, chewing gum languidly, gaZed out over the audeince with placid mat tention.
 @. Now as to the "A" in sing nature? A. It's over on the left Q. It's like an 70" tipped over isn'tit? A. Yes.
 @. Now is it like tho "A" in "an" or the "A" in "at" of the Haupt- mann writing? A. No it is not.
 The witness pointed to a dozen of Hauptmann's As" which he said were totally unlike the As" of the ransom letters.
 Reilly turned to the last line of the note.
 Q. What does that land" look like? A. It looks like "Ansl'.
 O. Is there anything on Mir Os- born's charts that corresponds? A. There are two "ands." but they do not correspond.
 Q. We find that MT Osborn, I'll making q comparison of the first note, finds in the note only 'is" and "sIngnature" on which to make his handwriting conclusions Is that correct? A. Yes.
 c. In your opinion would that he enough to send a man to the elec- tric chair?"
 Lanigans objection to the qucs- ton was sustained. Hauptmann's face grew red and his eyes blinked. The witness said he had volun- teeIed his services in this case flor the, second time in my life".
 Now please explain to the jury your opinion of the differentia ton in the As" of the ransom notes and the request writings? A. In the request writings the 'A'ss are round. In the ransom notes they are old style-that Is thes..A's" are taller than they are. vide.
 Handwriting Is based entirely on Characteristics habits," he said. Tt would be impossible for me to write five words without putting sonie of my own charac- feristics in them, but Hauptmann wrote 500 As" in the request s WiltiHbS anu tH' thdrhct'IiStiCh VT those As q" not appear in the ransom notes
 c. Now look at some ot II r letter? A. K
 Tho expert pointed 10 the TX" in New York.
 c. What is the difference in these. KS? A. In the ransom note the TX" reverts 10 the left: in the Hauptmann writing, the Ks" turn to the right. Tn Haupt- inann's request writing made two years after the ransom notes. he made 27 "K's' and all were in his hand. That is,. they all turned 10 lfhe right To InV mind that Is tne
