LAST STATE EVIDENCE
Hauptmann Trial Progress (Received January 24. 8.5 p.m.) Flemington, January 23. The State, in its final evidence in the Hauptmann trial, introduced a wood technicologist, who purported to trace the history of the wood in the ladder showing that the attic flooring was used in its manufacture and that Hauptmann’s plane dressed that timber. Another witness testified that the ransom notes were written on the same kind of notepaper as was found in Hauptmann’s home after his arrest. The message published yesterday stated that the prosecution began to complete its evidence with the introduction o£ a ladder allegedly used in the kidnapping, and a witness from whom Hauptmann had rented a house in the Bronx who declared that the flooring boards in the attic had disappeared, and another witness who testified that this boarding was used for a ladder.
