Mr.. Pope didn't like the ruling.
He said:
"This witness is called to

Bars memory is and her recOl-
lection Of faces"
Mr.. Pope tried hard to show
through Mr.. Tardell that Mrs.
Barr's memory was not to be re-
lied on, but Mr.. Wilentz objected
to almost every question Mr..
Pope asked and his objections
were sustained.
Odd you hand Mrs. Barr
a IS bill on one specific occasion?
Again the State objected and

other objections by Mr.. Wilentz

Wilentz, who had been under
a strain cross-examining many
witnesses, appeared to be en-
joying himself. He asked Moses
about his other jobs. The wit
ness said he had once been a
farmer.
Q.-You did some broadcasting
from Flemington, too, didn't you.
Ayes, over a hookup.
Q.-Have you written a song
about this trial. "A song
about this trial! No, a song
about the unemployed, a beer

Justice Trenchard'S face crink-
led in grin.
The court room went into
paroXysms of laughter as Moses
removed his glasses, pulled q lock
of his hair down over his fore
head and he was by his own
explanation, Will Rogers.
Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and
Colonel Schwarzkopf, who sat be-
side him, were laughing too.
HaUptmann grinned, but didn't
seem any too well pleased.

in the Bronx that nobody drove
you home from Hauptmann's
place the night of November rs,
1882"
Mrs. Mueller cried:
ooh! that's a lie!"
Q.-Hauptmann is your uncle.
You were asked in the Bronx about
your uncle's birthday and you said

"I should certainly think

there. She added:
"Fisch was the last to arrive.
I didn't see him come in,

Mrs. Wallenberg said she went
to the party with her husband.
Asked how many times she had
met Fisch, she said, -four or five
times. She added she once saw
Fisch with Hauptmann. She said;
"Mr. Hauptmann was at the
brokers' office every day."

been in business for himself for
Is years at Times Square in New

He corroborated the testimony
Of his wife concerning the party

Witness Excused

Wilentz forced the witness to
admit he had broadcast about
the trial from Flemington.
'But the radio was not hooked
up," Moses explained as the audi
ence hOwled.
After a few questions about the
Bronx, Wilentz excused the wit
ness.
Mrs. Maria Mueller, niece Of
Mrs. Anna Hauptmann followed
Moses to the stand. She is a young
brunette matron with piercing

a rather wistful expression. She
wore a black coat with an imita.

CONTINUED from Page y
Of Justice agent, who worked on
the Lindbergh case in New York,
was called.
Mr.. Reilly handed him a type
written report and asked If it
was a copy of one OF Mr..
Seykora's reports. It was.
Mr.. Reilly asked the witness
II he had found that DR.. Condor
had several relatives buried in
st. Raymond's Cemetery prior to
April 2, 1882, and had attended
funerals in WoodlaWn Cemetery.
The poker-faced agent said:

. fact"
Mr.. Reilly asked Mr.. Seykora
II DR.. Condor told him he knew
st. Raymond's Cemetery well.
The Government agent replied:
"He didn't tell me-"
The witness admitted DR.. Con-
don told him he was familiar
with the waters Of Westchester
Creek.
Q.-Is it possible to approach
the cemetery by that creek? Al
don't think so.
Q.-Is it possible to get there
IN a rowboat? A.-No, you'd have
70 get out and walk.
Mr.. Seykora was asked if he
had alenists examine DR.. Con.
don. The witness said, "No."
M. Reilly asked:
"DO you know whether he
was examined by alienistS?"
'"I do not"
The witness said insofar as he
knew there we're no reports Of
this character in the Department
Of Justice files.
Mr.. Wilentz objected to Mr..
Reilly'S referring to DR.. !Condon's
examination" as if it were a
fact.

He said that in 1882 he was
employed as a taxicab driver.
Q.-(Reilly)-Were you near
st. Raymond's Cemetery in the
Bronx on the night of April 2,
1882? A.-Yes sir.
He explained he was in his car
outside the cemetery "after 8
o'clock" the night of April 2,
1892.
Moses pointed out the place
where his car was on a photograph
Mr.. Reilly showed him.
Q.-Was there a road through
the cemetery? Ayes.
Q.-Were you on that road that
cuts through the cemetery? A
Yes.
Moses told of receiving a hurry

Mrs. Mueller corroborated evi.
dence previously introduced to
show that Hauptmann was at
tending birthday party in his
own home on the night of Novem-
ber 26, 1888. She was there, she
said, and Hauptmann took her
home after the party.
That was the night Mrs. Cecile
Barr, State witness, said Haupt-
mann was passing one of the ran
som bills at a New York theater.
The late Isador Ffsch, friend
of Hauptmann, attended tn t
party, too, Mrs. Mueller said.
The witness also told of attend
ing anot her party in Haupt-
mann's home, December 2, 1898,
shortly before FiSch sailed for
Germany where he died. It was
on this night Hauptmann con-
tends Fisch brought in shoe-box
and left it in his safekeeping
without saying it contain e d
$14,600 in Lindbergh ransom bills.
Mr.. Reilly asked:
"Was Hauptmann q good hus-
band?"
The witness, on the verge of
tears, replied:
"Oh, yes, he was very nice
to Mrs. Hauptmann. He was .
very fine and respectable man.
There were no complaints"
Mr.. Wilentz cut her short by
objecting and Justice Trenchard
ordered part of her answer
stricken from the record.

photographs Of the ladder and
the fingerprintS."

During Mr.. Fishers answer,
Attorney General David T.
Wilentz volunteered to produce
all the necessary ladder and
fingerprint records and photo
graphs.
Mr.. Fisher then consented to
try to limit his requests to re-
cords which could be brought
in easily in one truck load"
The defense subpoena called for
all statements issued by Colonel
Schwarzkopf to the press during
the Lindbergh investigation, in
cluding Squire Johnson's report
on March 1882, on the "kidnap
ladder" The defense also wanted
the States fingerprint records.
Among the records Mr.. Fisher
insisted upon obtaining were
Colonel Schwarzkopf's signed
statements to the press during q
period five days before the suicide
of Violet Sharpe, maid in the
Morrow home to five days after
the suicide.
Mr.. Schwarzkopf yesterday
denied saying in 1882 the maids
death tended to clear up the
crime.
Mr.. Lanigan contended the
subpoena was "vague, uncertain
and indefinite" Replying to this
statement, Mr.. Fisher said:
eve believe our position is
sound. The things we demand
are material"
Justice Trenchard finally ruled
that under the present showing,
the record Of Colonel Schwarz-
kopf's statements is not material"
However, he told Mr.. Fisher
he would grant him little addi-
tional time to look up the law
and argue later.
The trial then went on. Mr..
Reilly called Philip Moses, an
eccentric taxicab driver from the
Bronx, to the witness stand.
Colonel Schwarzkopt and his
men have admitted they pro-
cured no fingerprints of value
from the Lindbergh nursery and
from the kidnap ladder until q
certain DR.. E. M. Hudson, Of
New York city, entered the case.
Tomorrow counsel for Haupt-
mann intend to put DR.. Hudson
on the stand, and, according to
their statements, he will testify
how, through processing the
ladder with silver nitrate, he oh.
tanned nearly 500 finger prints.
Colonel SchwarZkopf reluctantly
agreed that none Of them were
the finger prints Of Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann.
Whose were they?

It was indicated there would be

point.

in his ability to impersonate viii

barked his answers in a Staccato
voice. He was first questioned by

a subpoena calling upon him to
produce various records, docu.
menus, books, photographs and
other things having to do with

Mr.. Lanigan wanted the court
to determine materiality of the
articles subject to the subpoena.
Colonel Schwarzkopf had been
on the stand late yesterday and
was searchingly examined by
c. Lloyd Fisher, of defense
counsel.
Mr.. Lanigan argued the re-
quested documents and reports
were not material, supporting his
contention with a long list of law
precedents. He declared:
"1t would take several trucks
to bring those records into
court"
Defense Attorney Fisher argued
materiality Of the evidence should
be passed on by the Judge after
it IS brought into court, not at
this time. He said:

Joseph J. Tardell, of New York,
who said he is a steady patron of
the Greenwich Village Theater
where Mrs. Barr works and where
she said Hauptmann passed a
ransom bill, took the witness
stand after Mrs. Mueller.
Defense Attorney Frederick A.

ever been to Loew's Sheridan

where Mrs. Barr had been EN-.
ployed as a cashier, Mr.. Tardell
replied:

home on the night of November
26, 1888. She replied:
'T still say there wasn't q
party, really, but in this coun-
try they call such things
parties. It was just a visit"
On redirect examination Mr..
Reilly asked:
did you suggest any names
for the Hauptmann baby?"
The witness replied that she
had and that it was her idea
the child be named Mannfried.
Mrs. Mueller was then excused
from the stand.

Mr.. Reilly objected to this

The spectators were not let in
