State’s Case Termed Weak
and Silly in Criticism of
Militia Guard.
By the Associated Press.
FLEMINGTON, N. J.. November
10.—The inclusion of State troopers
In the Hunterdon County jail guard
of Bruno Richard Hauptmann, Lind
bergh kidnap-slaying suspect, was
again criticized by the defense today
and as vigorously defended by the
prosecution.
"At a legal conference of the prose
cution recently four State police offi
cials attended," Lloyd Fisher, associ
ate defense counsel, said today, "thus
proving our contention that the State
police are attempting to build up a
case to convict this man right or
wrong and close the books.
"That is why there should be no
State police guards in Hauptmann's
cell. If they are prosecutors In this
case, they'ought to get out of the jail
and leave the guarding to neutral
persons. They are using Hauptmann
to clear their skirts of an Inefficient
handling of the case.
I “We do not object to a guard of a
deputy sheriff, but the presence of
the State police Is contrary to all
precedent.”
Calls It Everybody’s Case.
To this Prosecutor Anthony M.
Hauck, Jr., of Hunterdon County, re
plied as follows:
“The defense contention that this
is a State police case is ridiculous.
This is the Nation's case, the State's
case, the people's case, Hunterdon
County’s case. This is one of the most
gruesome crimes in the Nation's
criminal history.
‘‘We deny that the State police are
the prosecutors. The State police
are present because they had charge
of the Investigation under the direc
tion of Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf
by specific designation of Gov. Harry
A. Moore.
“When the crime was committed.
a question of jurisdiction was raised
and the State police were summoned
rather than county authorities. The
State police have had the co-opera
tion of the police departments of the
United States Government and New
York City.
"Practically every criminal case in
rural counties such as Hunterdon
necessitates the help of the State
police in Investigation and apprehen
sion of criminals. We are not defend
ing the State police in this case be
cause they need no defense.”
Says Charges "Weak and Silly.”
Fisher, commenting on the state
ment of Attorney General David T.
Wllentz that the prosecution will not
reveal what further evidence it
gathers in its case before the start of
the trial, January 3, said "the State
is not giving out any more informs
tlon because what has been given out
Is so weak and so silly that the public
reaction has been adverse to their
case.”
“I cite,” Fisher said, “the example
of Miller Whited, whose story of see
ing Hauptmann near the Lindbergh
estate was discredited. The State's
case Is so flimsy and weak that they
don’t dare risk any more statements."
In reply to a question as to his
opinion of the value of Dr. John F.
Condon, ransom intermediary, to the
prosecution, Fisher said:
“Jafsie has no weight In the case
and he’s as useless to the prosecution
as Whited.”
Through Fisher, Hauptmann today
appealed to the public to withhold
judgment on him and not be “misled
by ballyhoo put out by the prosecu
tion.”
Fisher said Hauptmann now Is
reading newspapers (with all refer
ences to the Lindbergh case deleted)
and finds they relieve him of much
of the strain of Imprisonment.

gency relief administrator, will dis
