KIDNAPPING OF CHILD
Lindbergh Gives Evidence BELIEF IN GUILT OF ACCUSED Flemington, January 4. Speaking with evident sincerity that none in the crowded courtroom coaid doubt, Colonel Lindbergh from the witness-stand to-day twice ' accused Hauptmann of kidnapping his child. He made his first accusation against the stolid German carpenter under questioning. Witness positively identified Hauptmann as the man whose voice he heard in the Bronx Cemete'-y the night when, with Dr. Condon as a go-between, he paid the 50,000 dollars ransom the second time. When, after a severe cross-examination by Mr. Edward Reilly, chief counsel for the defence, during which the latter sought to implant in the minds of the jury the idea that the kidnapping was an “inside job” engineered by members of Lindbergh’s staff of servants, the questioner asked the witness point blank: “Do you believe Hauptmann is guilty?” Colonel Lindbergh replied : “Yes’.” .Colonel Lindbergh was an earnest and willing witness, and stood up well under rigorous questioning.
Hauptmann sat rigid and stared back glassily at the witness, who looked directly at him when making his ac-- itions.
