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.'

Knew Flsch Dead.
"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.
