(Copyright, mm, hv the AsNoclnted PLEMINOTON, N. J., Jan. 38. A gutteral, but crisp "I did notl" was hurled today by . Bruno Richard Hauptmann to every detail of the state's charge that he kidnaped, mur dered and collected ransom for Baby Charles A. Lindbergh. Jr. "I never saw the Lindbergh baby live or dead!" he declared. He denied each and every step of tne state's case the stealing of the child, Its murder, the writing of the ransom notes, the construction of the kidnap ladder, the handling of the baby's sleeping suit, pr the col lection of the ransom from Dr. John T. (Jafsle) Condon. Sny Money risrh's. Ho met tho one point he could not deny possession of 14.600 of the 960,000 ransom money 'In his garage by saying It wrva left with him In a shoe box by the dead land or Flsch. and that It lay In a closet In his home from December, 1033, until August, 1034. before he discovered It contained money. He had not completed his direct testimony at the luncheon recess, and Just before that time he denied that he had paid for a theater ticket with a ransom bill on November 36. 1033 a date prior to the day on which he said Flsch gave him the money. He had been so Identified by Mrs. Ceclle barr, Sheridan theater cashier. Never. Jn Theater. "I was never in the theater In my life." he aald. He said the box given him by Flsch lay In ft closet through which rain leaked, and that it was acci dentally broken apart when he struck It with ft broom. It was then, he said, ho discovered It contained the money. "She waa practical falling apart,1' he aald. "I guess It was four bundles In there, Dem bundles waa mostly mesh up, but must be wrapped in paper, not In thick paper. In thin wrapping paper, brown newspaper. And there was newspaper In the box. too. I guess they wasn't filled up ftt all. It was empty apace, I took the money out, squeezed the water out." "All right you took the money Into the garage: what did you do with the money?" asked Edward J. Rellly, his chief attorney. "Put It In a, banket and covered It ty. And then laid the basket up on the celling so nobody could see It not exact lay It on the celling; Z put It on the upper shelf which reached the celling and put a nait In two strips In front of It and put another, basket on top of the basket the money was lying In.'

"Now, you knew did you that Flsch was dead when you found this money?" I know It, yea. 'Now, after drying It. what did you do with It then?" "Well, when I took It down, I took a few of them, I guess two or three I took out and put In circulation." Hauptmann'e testimony drew packed court room, and the air was made stifling. "Were you ever In Hopewell In your life?" Edward J. Rellly, defense chief attorney, asked. "I was not," he said In his heavy guttural way. He was deadly serious. "On the night of March 1. 1033. were you on the grounds of Colonel Lindbergh's estate at Hopewell, New Jersey?" "I waa notl" "On the night of March 1, 1032. did you enter the nursery of Colonel Lindbergh?" "I did not." Answers P napped "And take from the nursery Charles Llndbreh, Jr.?" "I did not." The answers snapped. "On the night of March I, 1032. did you leave on the window seat of Colonel Lindberghs' nursery a note?" "Well, X wasn't there at all. "You never saw Baby Lindbergh In your life, did you?" "Never saw It." Rellly called his attention to the original ransom note left In the nur sery and asked him: You never saw It except In the come room?" "No." "Did you write It?" "I did not." "Did you leave It In the Lindbergh nursery?" "I did not." Tells Movements Hauptmann Bald that on March 1 1032, the dny of the kidnaping, he woke up at 6 a. m., "took the wife down to the bakery," then went home, then to the Majestic apart ments Intending to work. The su perintendent told him there wore no jobs for that day, he said, so he went on to two employment agencies and to Radio City In a futile effort to get Job, He returned home around G p. m. He called for his wife at the bakery, her ploce of employment, at 7 p. m., he said. "Tell us what you did there that night." "I took the pollco dog out. I went to the corner of Boston road, went s little farder up. I met a gentleman I guess lie waa putting gas In the gasoline station and he was talking about the about the dog. Und he was asking me where I get him." Hauptmann said this woe between 8 and 8:30 p. m. Ho returned the dog to the bakery and left with his wife after 0 o'clock. What did you do?" , To Bert Early I went home. We went home. Took the car In the garage. Went right away to bed.'- He satd they arose on March 3 at 0:00 ft. m., and he took his wife to the bakery, went home and then to a subway. "In entering the subway station." he said, "I road the paper and that la the first time I read about the Lindbergh caw." "You didn't know Colonel Lind bergh did you?" "No, sir, I did not." Colonel Lindbergh, at the prosecu tion table, was sitting bolt upright and watching Hauptmann Intently. Hauptmann denied categorically the writing of each of the 14 ransom notos, and declared the first tlma he ever saw Dr. John F. (Jafsle) Condon, ransom Intermediary, waa In a Bronr. police station after his arrest taut September 10. Dr. Condon testified for the state that he twlco met Hauptmann and paid him tho 50,000 ransom In a Bronx grnveyard, Denies Writing Notes He was asked about each note, and each envelope separately, and he de nied of each that It was In his hand writing or that he had sont It. He Identified the box of tools In the state's evidence as his. lie f erring to an envelope addressed to Condon, Ilellly asked htm if he had mailed the letter on March 19. 11)32. "I did not." ho ulfl "Did you have anybody mall the letter for you?" "No sir." "Is that your handwriting?" "It Is not " Thoso denials were In the face of testimony by fight handwriting ex perts, one of whom had aald that the handwriting evidence against Haupt mann waa "Irresistible, unanswerable and overwhelming. Rellly took his client over each de lull of the crime and drew a denial of knowledge for each and every one. Rellly held up baby Lindbergh's sleeping suit. "Did you twite this sleeping suit off baby Lindbergh at any time," he asked. Never flaw Bahy "X never saw tho Lindbergh baby alive or dead." "When for the first time did you see this suit?" "Right here In this courtroom. "Did you ever have It In your pos- session?" "I never have." "Did you ever mall It to Dr. Con don?" "I did not." Rellly showed him the metal thumbguard which Betty Oow said the baby wore on Its last night, and which she found a hundred yards from the Lindbergh home a month after the crime. "I ask you," he queried, "If you ever saw this before you saw It In the courtroom? 'No, I never saw It. I really didn't know what It la for." Photographs and a map of Wood- lawn cemetery in the Bronx were shown to him and Rellly asked: "How far away from your house would you say the main entrance of Woodlawn cemetery was;" Unfamiliar M'lth Cemetery. Well, I don't know where the main entrance are of Woodlawn cemetery." You are not familiar with the cemetery at all, Is that right? "No." Dr. Condon had testified he met Hauptmann the first time to aego- tlate ransom at the main entrance of Woodlawn cemetery In the Bronx "Were you ftt that gnte or inside that gate March 12, 1032?" 'I was not." 'Have you any Independent recol lection now where you were March 12, 1032," Rellly asked. March 12, Saturday night I really don't know. I guess we was playing cards, but I can't hardly re member." Then Rellly referred to the ladder which a wood expert for the state traced to Hauptmann. Denies Building Ladder. "Did you build that ladder?" "I am a carpenter." There waa laughter In the court at this. "Did you build that ladder?" "Certainly not." "You notice how It Is constructed. do you?" Hauptmann stepped down from the stand, examined the ladder and ans wered : "Looks like a muslo Instrument." "In your opinion, does It look like well-made ladder?" "To me It Icoka like a ladder at all. I don't know how a man can step up." He was asked If he had trans ported the ladder to hopewell In an automobile. He replied: 'I never transported a ladder In my car." He denied also that he had taken a board from his attic for an upright in the ladder. He was shown the board In evidence, which had been taken from his attic, and which state witnesses said matched the uprlgftt In the ladder. Rellly asked: "Did you take any board from the attic of your house and carve or cut or manipulate or manufacture a sldo of this ladder from that board?" I did not." Hays Attic Empty Ho said that the attic was empty when he rented his home In the Bronx. Rellly showed him the chisel In evidence which was found near the scene of tho crime. He asked him If he had left It nt the Lindbergh estate. "Dls chisel was never In my pos session I" he declared. Rellly directed his questioning to tho night of April 2, 1033. when the ransom was potd. According to Hauptmann's previous testimony he and friends were making mtislo at, his house on that night. i "What time did this muslcale. ori gathering in your home start?" he asked. "Between seven and eight." j "Did you go out nt any time that night?" "I did not. Oh, well, I went out1 around half past eleven to bring Mr. Kioppenberg to the street car line." When Rellly asked him about his withdrawals from a bank account in 1028, Houptmann sold: j "I really can't explain them with-! drawals. Sometimes it was lent mon ey to friends tr they need It and give it back nfter a couplo of months In small lots." Quizzed on Withdrawals He was asked to explain a with- drawal of 2.800 on November 1, 1920. "That Is the money I put In the stock market," ho said. I In June, 1030, ho withdrew 1,400,! and he explained: "I guess I put this money In the stock market as far aa I can remem-; ber." He explained another withdrawal of 9040 on March 0. 1031, na follows: "I guess that Is the. time I bought my car." Of another withdrawal of $430 on) May 9. 1932. he said: , "I guess this waa one of the first j money j put in Flsch 's account on the fur business. L According to Captain O. R.
