Ten Weeks Continued on Hauptmann Trial Forensic Details
Federal forestry expert Arthur Koehler traced wood from the case to Hauptmann. Arch W. Loney of the interior department noted attic flooring thicker than rail planks by 1 16 inch. A Columbia laboratory found woody substance in nail holes preventing a long nail from sitting flush. The governor tried to reconcile nails with wood height. In the death house the former Bronx carpenter stayed stoic as his story showed slight shifts. He reportedly told his lawyer pictures of Dr Condon resembled a man seen at City Island near his boat. He had previously insisted he had never seen Jassie until confrontation.
