ALIBI Seeks to Discredit Reliability of Who Claim They Saw Defend Ant ID Bronx, 7 B)- SIDNEY B. WHir'rLE, i SU(t Correspondent FLEMINGTON, N. Feb. State and defense counsel today In dulged. an outstde-lhe-coui-tioom dispute over whether witnesses favorable to the contention ot Bruno Richard Hauptmann that he did not murder the Lindbergh baby were being intimidated by state tactics.

Attorney Genera) David T. 'Wilentz, hinting he regarded many defense witnesses unreliable, announced the only reason he had not taken action against some was so as not to give the defense an opportunity to charge he sought to intimidate other witnesses who have not testified. He promised action later. Kdward' J. Reilly, chief of defense counsel, said seven defense witnesses had been threatened by "hoodlums," declaring at least half of his witnesses might refuse to testify "if this method 1.5 pursued." The state's searching examination of defense witnesses continued today while the defense placed on the stand the first of its handwriting experts, M.

Trendley o) East St. Louis, to disprove the state's contention that Hauptmann wrote all the ransom notes that resulted in Colonel Charles A. -Lindbergh paying $50,000 for a baby already dead. Wilentz announced outside the courtroom that he had two wit' nesses to prove that Elvert Carl- jtrom, defeiise alibi witnes, was in Dunellen, N. the night of the kidnaping, not in the Bronx bakery where he testified he saw Hauptmann.

Wilentz also said he could prove that Garlstrom knew Haupt- rnann well, although he testified ho Hauptmann but twice, nnce the night of Harch 1, 1932, in the bakery, again in the Fleming- Ion courtroom. Trendley was ready to unroll the state's own handwriting charts, and demonstrate how the eight Elate experts were mistaken when they declared' Hauptmann wrote the ransom letters. He had a hard time qualifying as a witness, under the vigorous cross-examination of Joseph Lanigan, asistant attorney general, who put into the record every court case and every instance in which he was in error. But after he testified til having been an expert witness In 378 cases, Justice Thomas VV decided he had haa enough of the cross-examination, saying, "I guess, Mr. Lanigan, that this man is qualified." The defense "forMack of time and funds" will depend upon the state's characters, in black and white, looking like school hang on the courtroom wall, directly behind the witness chair.

It is Trendley's purpose to take the, evidence prepared by the state's eight including the senior and Albert arrive at directly contrary conclusions. The courtroom phase'of the battle 'between alibi witneses was temporarily at a standstill, while the state checked up for rebuttal, on the life, character activities of the four witnesses svho, in addition to Mrs. Anna Schoeffler mann, have bolstered the accused man's story that he was not in New Jersey at the time of the kidnaping. The prosecution announced that Arthur Larsen, friend of the amazing Carlstrom, and Oscar Christiansen, who employed Cari- rtrom as caretaker of his Dunellen home, would testify Carlstrom was in Christiansen has his ledgers to show this. The attack on Carlstrom was the most vigorous of any launched by the prosecution.

It sought to discredit the testimony of Louis Kiss, August Von Henke and Lou Hard-' lag, by showing their characters. Regarding Kiss, it showed he was engaged in bootlegging. Regarding von Henke, it showed he had changed his name twice, and that he operated a speakeasy, often raided, during prohibition.
