Witnesses Identify Him New York, January 8. At the trial of Bernard Hauptmann, charged with the murder of the Lindbergh baby, two State witnesses, a Bronx taxi-driver named Perone and an 87-years-old retired New Jersey farmer named Hochmuth, placed a finger of identification on Hauptmann to-day. The defendant, to one of them, tlie cab driver, muttered. "You're a liar.” Perone gave evidence that in the evening of March 12. 1932, Hauptmann stopped him and gave him a dollar to deliver a note to Dr Condon, ransom intermediary. The witness stepped down from the. stand and touched Hauptmann on the shoulder. The latter besides crying “Liar!” declared later that the witness was "crazy.” He only saw my picture in the papers.”
Hochmuth, feeble of step and weak of sight, swore th",.' Hauptmann was driving a green-e-'ionred motor-ear with a ladder in it. He was the man lie had seen near tlie Lindbergh house a few hours before the kidnapping. Mrs. Hauptmann cried. “Can’t be. He can't mean Richard”
