Thomas. Burial will follow in Rose Hill cemetery (Front Pica 1) sel, to have a share in addressing the Jury, To Be Brief Hauck'i statement will be comparatively brief. He will sketch tersely the evidence adduced by the state: That Hauptmann possessed nearly $15,000 of the Lindbergh ransom money when he was arrested last September, that eight of the foremost handwriting experts in the country attributed to his hand the writing in the ransom notes, that the kidnap tedder was not only linked to him through plane marks found on the rungs and uprights, but that the upight, numbered 16, was part of the attic flooring in his Bronx home. He will point to the fact that Col-v- onel Charles A Lindbergh Identi fied Hauptmann's voice as the voice of the man who collected the ransom in St. Raymond's cemetery, the Bronx, on the night of April 2, 1932; that Dr.

John F. Condon, Lindbergh's agent, identified Hauptmann as the "John" he talked to in Woodlawn cemetery before the ransom payment and at the ransom payment. He will lay before the Jury Aniandus Hochmuth's identification of Hauptmann as the man he saw driving a car, containing a ladder, near the Lindbergh estate on the afternoon of March 1, 1932, and Mrs. Cecile Barr's identification of the carpenter as the man who passed a $5 ransom bill through the window of her cage at a Greenwich Village motion picture theatre on Kovember 26, 1933, nine months before the time Hauptmann fixed as the date of his discovery of the ransom money in a shoebox, left in his care by the late Isador Fisch. The defense summation will combat these points.

The state charges that Hauptmann himself conceived the crime, wrote the ransom notes, climbed the-. ladder to the nursery, stole the baby, left the first ransom note and abandoned the ladder 70 feet from the house because it was too heavy. It charges he killed the baby before he left the estate, ripped off its sleeping garment and in doing so, tore off the thumbguard, found a month later by Betty Gow, the baby's nuee. Bap Circumstantial Evidence Reilly will contend all the evi dence, purporting to connect Hauptmann with the actual crime of burglary, as the indictment charges, with the abduction of the child, its death, and the ransom collection is not only circumstantial (the state, of course, concedes that) but that it is of the flimsiest nature and does not warrant a conviction. The big Brooklyn, lawyer, no mean orator, will fight over the old ground, step by step.

He will charge the stale police with inefficiency, wiU remark the fact that no fingerprints, found in the house or on the ladder, were Hauptmann's, that Hochmuth suffered hallucinations, that Millard Whited, another Sourlander who testified he saw Hauptmann near Hopewell shortly before the kidnaping, was reputed to be untruthful. He will charge the misspelled words in Hauptmann's requested writings, words which correspond to the misspellings in the ransom notes, were dictated by the police after Hauptmann had been held prisoner for many hours; that the writing of the notes was Hauptmann's handwriting, imitated hv snnthpr. Reilly will portray Hauptmann 'as a frugal German carpenter, who saved money before his marriage to a woman who was herself the soul of frugality. He will point out that both saved money and had sizeable bank accounts long before the Lindbergh baby wa3 born; that the state unfairly has cast aspersions on Hauptmann's devotion to his wife and home, and that hi3 stock market gambling was not only a fairly common index to the state of mind of the nation before and after the crash of 1929, but that Hauptmann was using his own money and the money of Isador Fisch. In the early days of the trial Reilly began throwing out innuendoes in the direction of the late Ollie Whateley, the Lindbergh butler; Violet Sharpe, the Morrow household maid who ended her life by swallowing poison on June 10, 1932, when she was about to be questioned for the fourth time in the kidnaping investigation, and even in the direction of Betty Gow.

He has hinted dafkly through many days that the baby was not taken down the kidnap ladder, but probably handed through the door of the house. He has tried to throw shadows on the character of Dr. Condon, and will likely dp so again tomorrow. His most difficult job, perhaps, will be to convince the jury that Arthur Koehler, federal technologist, was in error when he assigned to Hauptmann's tools the construction of the laddec and when he testified that the ladder upright, No. 16, was part of the attic flooring in Hauptmann's home.

The points he will hammer at will be that Hauptmann made no effort to move from the Bronx house where he lived at the time of the kidnaping, that he did not dispose of his tools or his auto mobile and that he never used a disguise when he passed ransom bills. Attorney General David T. Wil- entz will sum up for the state on Tuesday, Supreme Cfiurt Justine Thomas W. Trenchard will charge the jury and the case will be ready for deliberation, it is expected, late Tuesday afternoon.
