J., Feb. 7.-—(AP) Bruno Richard Hauptmann’s defense today pursued a hint of “framed evi dence” with an expert who insisted ; in the face of photographs and gov ernment, reports that three incriminat ing nail holes in the Lindbergh kid nap ladder were not in existence when he, examined it. The The witness was Dr. E. M, Hudson, a New York physician and amateur fingerprint man. He clung to his testimony that the famed “rail 16”— a part of the kidnap ladder which the State charges came from Hauptmann’s attic and fitted there— “had only one square nail hole when he saw it on March 13, 1932, thirteen, days after Baby Charles A. Lindbergh Jr., was kidnaped and slain. The rail in evidence has four nail ! holes which State experts and police j said jibes with nail holes and joists ! in Hauptmann’s attic*.

Whited had testified for the State. William Diehl, another resident of the Sourland hills, followed. As tot Whited’s reputation for veracity, he said: “’Taint any good.” George E. Lcnz, also said “not good” as to Whited’s veractiy. The State, in cross-examination of the three Sourland men, brought out that Whitehead had been in jail, that Lentz had trouble with Whited ater a. lumber bill, and that Diehl had sig ned a. statement to the effect that he had not discugsed Whited’s reputation for vei actity. Dieh] explained he could not read the statement he signed. Mrs. Augusta.
