New York. January 30.
Mrs. Hauptmann to-day gave evidence that although 14,600 dollars of ransom money were given to her husband by Fisch and lay for nearly a year in a paper shoe box in the broom closet, which she visited every'day, she never saw’ the box. She further said that on the night of the kidnapping, the night the ransom money passed, and the night Hauptmann is alleged to have passed one of the marked ransom bills at a theatre, he was with her at' home.
