prlQt Oh d CIllAu.
Reilly was in the midst of his plea
when court adjourned for the lunch
con recess, calling the States case
moving picture scenario" and Of
fering theory of the childs death
THAT child could have lived four
or five days some place" he said
There were hundreds of places
around Hopewell to hide that child
for four or five days, or for 10 days,
and then the child could have died
from falling off a table, falling out
of a crib, or being struck, If you will
have it that way, though it is an
awfully cruel thing to think Of.
He seized upon the absence OF I'm
eerprints in the Lindbergh nursery
to suggest that some disloyal Serv-
ant wiped them away.
Hand of Death"
1.-THE hand of death in this case he
shouted, has rubbed out many per-
son connected with it. They have all
gone, all gone swiftly, and to retribu-
ton, as all the others in time will feel
the hand of retribution, but it won't be
this defendant, because he wasn't
there"
He accused Col H. Norman Schwarz-
kopf, head of the New Jersey State
police, of bungling the case,
1T was a horrible, horrible thing,
and, my God. it couldn't have been
planned by one person. 1t had to be
planned by a group he said.
The mob wants the German car
penter killed, as mobs for the past
1000 years have cried for the death of
a person under hysteria, when after
ward it was discovered that the per-
son that was killed by the mob VEN
geance wasn't guilty at ALL"
State Gives Resume.
Anthony M. Hauck. Hunterdon
County prosecutor, spoke for the State.
Reilly told the jurors that despite
the position and the prestige and the
wealth of the distinguished family who
find themselves in the position here
of being bereaved. the State must
prove its case according to the law
and not guesswork, not inference, not
maybes and not speeches"
Reilly attacked the pattern of the
States case.
This Is the crime of the century
and it is the worst crime and the lowest
type of crime ever committed to my
knowledge" the defense attorney said.
but it is not the defendant who is
guilty of it
He mildly ridiculed the States
technical evidence
"This case has come down now" he
said. in my opinion, to this-com-
mon, ordinary horse sense. And
against that We are confronted with
a lot of technicianS and experts who,
at so much day, give us their opinion
Reilly told the jury he respected
Col. Lindbergh; that he marched in
the parade of welcome when the colo
mel returned from his fame making
flight to Paris; but he added:
Bruno Richard Hauptmann was
never on those grounds" He referred
to the Lindbergh estate at Hopewell,
N j., from which the baby was stolen.
Contradiction Seen.
Now" Reilly said, they would
have you in one breath believe that
this man Hauptmann was a master
mind, that he planned this himself,
and the next minute they would have
YOU believe that he was the worst
fool in the world, that he was dumb.
that he didn't know anything; he
would wear gloves making ladder
so his fingerprints wouldn't be left
behind; and he would sit an hour
and a half talking to Condor with
his face exposed. In one. the careful
master mind; in the other. the perfect
uatpr
both shoulders"
Later, he said
LAS we go through it you will see
that this case has been pieced to-
gether as you would write scenario,
but it is not founded on honest fact.
The first thing you have got to de-
eide when you go into your jury room
is this: How in Gods name did Haupt-
mann know anything about the Lind
bergh home.
Il don't care about handwriting. I
don't care anything about wood, nor
do I care about the ransom money,
for which this man stands indicted
in the Bronx and for which he has
to stand trial there. Nor am l going
to allow you to pull the chestnuts out
of the fire for Bronx County and say,
well, because he had the money he
must be guilty of something, there
fore we will send him away for some
thing.
"Stahbed in Back"
"Col. Lindbergh was stabbed in the
back by the disloyalty of those who
worked for him and despite the fact
that he courageously believed that
ic1n 1ttJ II, tho OfC'
quarters, I say now that no one could
get into that house unless the in
formation was supplied by those who
worked for Col. Lindbergh.'
Col. Lindbergh may have all the
confidence in the world he pleases in
Betty Cow" the defense attorney de-
clared Il have none
How do we know who Betty Cow
talked to when she got the message |
Tuesday afternoon from Mrs. Lind
bergh, Come over, the baby is not
we'll? But she never communicated |
with Hauptmann SO that say nobody
in Gods world knew that baby was
going to be there Tuesday night but
this Cow girl"
He referred to the Lindbergh dog.
Who controlled that dogs move
mentS that night ne asked, and an
swered himself: 1.-THE butler 1 don't
care what sound, the sound of the
wind or anything else, inherently and
instinctively these dogs can smell a
stranger on the grounds, and that dog
never even barked. say the circum-
stances point absolutely along a
straight line of guilt toward that butler
and the servants who were disloyal to
Col Lindbergh.
This nurse DEITY Cow, who went
on the stand and blandly told you
she loved that wonderful little baby,
allowed herself to stay away from the
baby from before 8 ocock until 10
o'clock at night. Do you believe
that? Well, if she did, it was part
of the disloyal plan by which that
baby was taken out of that house."
