Dr. Condon also declared that he had also recognised Hauptmann on a New York street in August, 1934, hut was himself on a bus going the opposite way, and by the time he descended Hauptmann hazl disappeared. Mr. Reilly, who cross-examined the witness, was unable to shake him and was even the butt of witness’s pleasantries, which not only made the crowd laugh but the presiding Judge as well.
