WO EXPERT LAST

[ BRUNO IN MUROERf
Koehler Traces Rail Of Ladder Into German’s
Attic But Admits It Was Built
By Amateur
(Copyright, 1935, by the Associated Press)
FLEMINGTON, N. J., Jan. 24. (AP)—The state rested
its murder case against Bruno Richard Hauptmann short
ly after noon Thursday.
The state was content to end its evidence with the tee*
timony of Arthur Koehler, government wood expert, who
testified that one rail of the Lindbergh kidnap ladder
came from Hauptmann's attic and changed his story in
no way on cross-examination.
Also standing without alteration by cross-examination
was the wood expert’s testimony that Hauptmann’s own
plane was used in the fashioning of the ladder and that
other lumber in the ladder came Ifrom a Bronx lumber
yard where Hauptmann had purchased wood.
As Koehler left the stand Attorney General David T.
Wilentz conferred briefly with his assistant prosecutors.
“The state r*sts, your honor,” he announced.
Edward J. Reilly, chief of the defense staff, intnediate
ly pleaded to be allowed to cross-examine one of the
state’s witnesses further.
Brief Cross-Examination
“The state has rested,’’ Wilentz proclaimed, “You may
call whom you please.”
Reilly wanted to questipn Thomas H. Sisk, a Depart
ment of Justice agent who testified for the state, and
Hildegarde Olga Alexander, Bronx dress model, who
said she saw Hauptmann shadowing Dr. John F. (Jafsie)
Condon in the Bronx during the period of negotiations for
the $50,000 Lindbergh ransom.
Wilentz a little later decided to call Miss Alexander
back for the defense questions, but asserted he wanted no
delay in the defense’s case. Justice Trenchard ordered
that she be called after the luncheon reccfis which was
taken shortly before 12:30 p. m.
The court deemed it unnecessary for the state to recoil
Sisk since he would be available to the defense at any
time.
Cross-examination of Koehler was briefer than was ex
pected, and was directed chiefly toward showing the
kidnap ladder, down which the state charges Haupt
mann carried baby Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., from his
cnb to his death, was constructed by an amateur, where
as Hauptmann is supposed to be an expert carpenter.
