Hauptmann Trial Hints at Rapid Closing and Rebuttal
Attorneys for Bruno Hauptmann expect to rest within days as the state plans a brief rebuttal. The Jersey trial runs about 8800 daily with costs over 25000 so far. The state may call Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow to testify on Violet Sharp, the maid who killed herself after the kidnapping, and Col. Lindbergh’s mother in law to counter defense claims linking Miss Sharp and Isador Fisch to the case. State police testimony questioned ladder strength, noting a 180 pound trooper broke a duplicate ladder and that the actual ladder cracked on descent. the defense contends Hauptmann weighed 182 pounds and could not ascend the ladder with the child.
