Hauptmann himself wished C. L.
Fisher, of Flemington, young as
sociate defense counsel, and Fred
erick A. Pope, another of his coun
sel, to share in addressing ths
jury.
Hauck’s statement will be com
paratively brief. He will sketch
tersely the evidence adduced by
the state: That Hauptmann pos
sessed nearly $15,000 of the Lind
bergh ransom money when he was
arrested last September, that eight
of the foremost handwriting ex
perts of the country attributed to
his hand the writing in&the .van-
som notes, that the kidnap ladder
was not only linked to him through
plane marks found on the rungs
and uprights, but that the up
right No.. 16, was part of the
attic. flaring in his Bronx home.
He will point out that Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh identified
Hpuptmann’s ■voice as that of the
man who collected the $50,000 ran
som in St. Raymond’s cemetery,
the Bronx, oh the night of April
2, 1932; that Dr. John F. Condon
Lindbergh’s agent. identified
Hauptmann as the “John” he talk
ed'tb in Woodlawn cemetery before
the ransom payment and at the
rapsom^ payment.
The defense summation 'will com
bat these points.
The state charges that Haupt
mann himself conceived the crime,
wrote the ransom notes, climbed
the ladder to the nursery, stole the
baby, left the first ransom note
and abandoned the ladder 70 feet
from the house because it was too
heavy. It charges he killed the
baby before he left the estate,
ripped off its sleeping garments
and in doing so. tore off the
thumbguard, found a month later
by Betty Gow, the baby’s nurse.
Reilly w'ill contend all the evi
dence, purporting to connect
Hauptmann with the actual crime
of burglary, as the indictment
charges, with the abduction of the
child, its death and the ransom
collection is not only circumstan
tial (th’ state, of course, concedes
that) but tliat it is of the flimsiest
nature and does not warrant a con
viction.

He will charge the misspelled
words in Hauptmann’s requested
writings, words which correspond
to the misspelling.s in the ransom
notes, were dictated by the police
after Hauptmann had been held
prisoner for many hours: that th"
writing of the notes was Haupt
mann’s handwriting, imitated by
another.
He will tell the jury that Louis
Kiss, the Hungarian silk painter,
saw Hauptmann in a Bronx bakery
the night of the kidnaping; that
Elevert Carlstrom, young Swedish
carpenter, saw him there; that
Augu.st Van Hanke, Harlem res
taurant keeper, .saw Hauptmann on
the street with a police dog that
night, and that April 2, the ran
som payment night, Hauptmann
was having a fiirst-Saturday
night-of-the-month singing party
in his home with Hans Kloppen-
l)urg and was nowhers near St.
Raymond’s cemetery.
He will review once more
Hauptmann’s own story of his
whereabouts and his explanations
for the possession of the money,
his dealings with Fish and his
stock market transactions. He
will repeat that Hauptmann was
celebrating his birthday at home
on the night of November 26,
1933!; 'When Mrs. Barr said she
saw Hauptmann in front of her
ticket cage, ami that Fish left the
shoebox the night of December 2,
1933, when his friends held a
farewell party, for him in Haupt
mann’s home before he sailed for
Leipzig, Germany, where he died
last March 29.
His most difficult job, perhaps,
will be to convince the jury that
Arthur J. Koehler, federal wood
technologist, was in error when he
assigned to Hauptmann’s tools the
construction of the ladder, and
' when he testified that the ladd.?r

farmers breed calves from their
present herds, taking especial
note of the fact, however, that
only good calves from good
stock should be kept tor milkers,
it was pointed out.
The government has' appro
priated $6,000,000 to indemnify
owners of stock which has con
tagious a’uortlon and $60 for
each registered cow or $20 for
each grade cow is being paid
when the* diseased cows are
slaughtered. Mr; Scott pointed
out that dairy herds in the dairy
centers of the country are being
materially lessened by this prac
tice and that this factor has had
much to do with the Increase in
price of dairy products, together
with generally improved busi
ness conditions.
In urging that farmers pay
more attention to their herds and
breeding of cows he stated that
there is every indication that
the price” of dairy products will
stay up and that there will be
no more distressing drops as oc-
cured about three years ago.
This prediction was also based
on the condition of the batter
and cheese markets at this time.
One year ago the ten princi
pal markets in the country had
47.000. 000 pounds of butter on
hand. At the same time this year
the same markets had a mere
6.000. 000 pounds on hand.
In the face of an increasing
demand 5,000,000 pounds less
butter was produced in 1935 up
to this week as compared to the
amount for the same period last
year.

Mr. Scott stated that the pres

according to present indications,
and the price of dairy cows may
soon be double what it now is.-
Consumption of dairy products
has increased at least 40 per cent
