Lawyers Challenge Hauptmann Trial Theories

They claimed the trial harmed Hauptmann by browbeating cross examination and urged Mercer county as the proper venue.

Hauptmann Brings Fresh Appeals Challenges To Trial
The brief accuses Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard of impairing free verdict and pressuring the jury with conclusions about the evidence. It contests the charge on reasonable doubt, handwriting weight, and defense requests. It questions Arthur Koehler's wood testimony and Lindbergh's voice identification of Hauptmann. It attacks Dr. John Condon and other witnesses as not fully truthful, and says ransom testimony only linked Hauptmann to extortion, not kidnapping. It cites Wilentz's summation and a caution that a prosecutor must not express personal belief. The court session opened as the kidnapping ladder was carried away, reportedly at Hauptmanns' attorneys request.
