would be the imprint of a mans

Hauck went briskly over to th**
Jury box. Hu first words were of
thanks to the jury ior its attention
and interest m the case.
He next, explained how the at
torney gen. rails department had
come into the case at his request,
and then launched into the body of
the statement,
•Murder in First Degree'
"The state of New Jersey con
tends that it ha> proven conclusive
ly that Bruno Richrad Hauptmann
Wiled the Lindbergh baby and 1&
guilty of murder in tlxe first de
cree. Hauck said
In a crime of murder he went on.
* a corpus delicti, must be proven.
The corpus delicti was the child
that on the afternoon of March i.
1932, Haunt went on was a nor
mal child, it ate. slept and played
* as do my ohildirn.”
The pweeutor recited the evenu
procodm. the kidnaping. Betty Gow.
the nurse, came to the Hopewell
home that alter noon, made a little
shirt tor the baby—treated it for a
slight cold with the aid of its
mother, and put it to bed
The baby he said was put to bed
"Now at 8 odock Miss Gow said
she looked at her watch, and she
went downstairs and had something
to eat. Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh
were downstair* and at one time
upstairs in then room.
* “At about !.*> o'clock Miss Oow
went back to see how the baby wrat.
She walked over the crib and listen
ed to hear his breathing.’*
He paused for a moment.
That baby was not there."
He sketched . wiftly one appreher,-;
aion that gripped the Lindbergh
house Isold then, how the rooms were
searched hew Undberch grabbed
his wife, and said to his wife:
“Anne. they have stolen our
*>aby ”
Hauck dropped his voice “It was
only » short time later that baby’s
body was found ncaf- the Mt. Rose
road."
Hauck then staf**d the baby had
been stolen forcibly, "yanked from
that crib.” and referred to the mud
prints in the nursery window.
The ladder fitted mio the marks.
The paint beneath the window was
* marred and the broken ladder was
found nearby. ,
•Conclusive Proof
'•Ail of these thing'." he declared,
"definitely. conclusively and over
whelming.y prove that the babv was
taken from U* cub bv this defend
ant.”
The finding of tiie body on Mt.
Rose bill three miles away, on May
12. 1932. came next. Haucx went on.
Hie body was identified con
hhiaiveiy by Col Lindbergh and
Bett'- Oow and its little garments,
atill cling»ng to the remain*, were
reoogmzeci.
"The deleiio*’ bv it» own state
ment .* asserted, "does not contest
the identification of that body.'
* The death, he recited, resulted
from a skull iracture inflicted when
the kidnaper and the child crashed
from the breaking ladder to the
ground
He told swiftly of Hauptmiun»
flight with the slam baby, declaring
he was afraid to abandon the child
on the Lindbergh Estate because he
did not want to be apprehended.
Hauptmann fled. Hauek continued
until he came to "the first sife and
concealed place awa: from the Lind
bergh Estate.”
"There he hurriedly scooped out
the little grave. then hurried off to
the Bronx ’’
"It is the contention of the state
. that Charles A Lindbergh Jr was
murdered in the commission of a
burslarv” he declared.
He told the rant turore that the
Lindbergh house had be°n subject
to tweaking and entering that night,
gnd that a bwtterv had beer, com
mitted on tlw child.
"Bruno Richard Hauptmann who
alts to this vers- court room did all
of this.” he shouted.. „
"Wt have ..hewn vou ’ he went on.
that Bruno Richard Hauotmann
planned this crime for a year. The
ran'•cm note proved that.
The atate had told of finding a
ladder near the nursery window.
Hauck continued

"There La that‘ladder.” he shout
ed. painting to the exhibit.
The prosecutor then, recited the
details of the tracing of the ladder

"And that very plane was used to
plane the wood In the ladder.”
He told of finding of the chisel j
on the estate and Koehler* testi
mony that a chisel of that type was
used in making the ladder.
The discourse turned to the hand
writing testimony.
Hauck dwelt at length on the sim
ilarity of ail the ransom notes with
Hauptmann s handwriting. *We have
shown conclusively the writer of
every one of the ransom notea was
Bruno Richard Hauptmann,” he de
clared and reviewed the testimony
of the eight state handwriting ex
pert*.
He referred to Hildegande
Alexander, the New York model,
who saw Hauptmann allegedly shad
owing Jafsic during the ransom neg
otiations. {
"That testimony.'* he shouted,
bangins the jury rail, "has not been
denied ”
The board in Hauptmann’s closet
w is recalled next by the prosecutor,
the board on which Dr Condon’s
telephone number and address were
penciled.
**Dr. Condon identified Haupt
mann.’’ Hauck declared, "as the man
he talked to in the cemetery—the
man he paid the *50 000 ransom to.'
Colonel Undberah provided an
other identification, he went on. In.
the voice of the ransom collector I
* Hey Doktor' the kidnaper had
relied m St. Ravtrond's cemetery
and Colcnel Lindbergh identified
that voice as the voice of Bruno

ed his voice rising.
"As ^oon as Bruna Richard Haupt-1

Hauptmann’s varying story of how
