BLAMES GANG OF BABY BOY Defense Lawyer in Sensational Speech Blames Jersey State Police as Bunglers. SAY LADDER WAS PLANTED Names Betty Gow, Butler and Others as Co-Conspirators; He Attacks Dr.

Condon. By SIDXEY B. WHIPPLE Flemington, N. Feb. 11.

Calling up all the skill and eloquence that have won acquittals in many homicide, cases, Edward J. Reilly, chief counsel, pleaded through the afternoon today for the life of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. He brushed aside all suggestions oL the State that Hauptmann was involved in the murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, ridiculed the idea that one man could have planned and executed the crime and charged that "disloyal servants" of CoL Charles A. Lindbergh participated in this kidnaping.

Then he veered his attack to Dr. John F. Condon, tha "Jafsie" who paid the ransom. "Condon stands behind something in this case, Reilly shouted. "Something that is unholy, and I will bear it out" Reilly was bitter in his denunciation of the New Jersey State police, contending they had bungled tho case-by, not calling out bloodhounds on the night of the kidnaping.

"Why, it was Just another battle of Jutland," cried Reilly, 'Just stumbling and bungling." Not Taken by Window "That baby never was carried out of the window," Reilly said. "It was taken down one of the two staircases, wrapped In the arms of someone who could comfort It and keep It from crying. You and I don't know anything about this girl from Scotland this Betty Gow." Says Ladder Was Planted "CoL Lindbergh was stabbed in the back by those who worked for him," the lawyer shouted. In his address to the Jury Reilly directly charged duplicity among the servants in the Hopewell Manor, and accused among others, Butler Oliver Whately, Nursemaid Betty Gow, and Miss Gow'a sailor sweetheart, Henry (Red) Johnson, with complicity in the plot. Among his sensational shargea were that the now famous "kidnap ladder" found on the estate after the kidnaping was a "State plant." and that It had never been used in the crime.

He ridiculed with all the sarcasm at his command, the State's "scenario" and the "fiction" that a man could have climbed the ladder into the nursery, committed the abduction, and descended after the ladder broke under his weight wllh. out arousing the whole household. Cites Silence of Dog Reilly pointed to the silence of the Lindberghs' little fox terrier, during the kidnaping, as proof that "no strangers were about." He charged gross bungling by the State police. Throughout Rellly'a plea, there was silence In the courtroom, save. for Rellly's voice, which rose and fell through the gamut of sari-emu, Invective, soft pleading and ob argument.

Reilly, chief counsel for the defense, re quested a five-minute recess, after Anthony M. Hauck, the Hunterdon County prosecutor, had concluded his opening address against Bruno Richard Hauptmann today. The recess was ordered. After the Jury was polled, Reilly stood up and faced the jury. "Ladies and gentlemen of the Jury," he began.

"I believe In approaching this case with a great feeling of responsibility, I want to give you a text: 'Judge not, lest ye be "I can readily appreciate that after hearing the distinguished prosecutor of the pleas, that you feel that this defendant must prove his' Innocence. "This is not the case. "You are big enough, you are American enough not to be swayed by the wealth and prominence of the family involved; that this defendant la but a poor German carpenter. "Over your head hangs the American flag. Remember, that this flag guarantees Justice.

Justice for this poor carpenter from Germany. "Justice demands that the still voice of your conscience be given full freedom to deride this case. "I want you to remember that in passing judgment you have in your power to take away a thing you cannot give back life. Reilly was bringing into play his vaunted oratory. He stood against the jury rail, now talking in a low, conversational voice, now rising to a crescendo of pleading.

The jurors leaned forward, their eyes riveted on Reilly. There was a dead silence in the courtroom. Hauptma'nn's head swayed in affirmation as Reilly brought out point after point. Reads the Indictment "May I read to you the indictment I am going to avoid the legal phraseology. It says, this In plain language.

'This defendant alone on the first day of March not the second, not the fifth but on the first In the Township of East Amwell not Niagara Falls, but in East Amwell feloniously murdered the Lindbergh baby. "Now there is the pattern. Perhaps there Is a pattern maker on the Jury, There are games with rules. "But here is the pattern that the Judge will charge you. "I think the Judge will say that the State of New Jersey charges this defendant alone planned this kidnaping, that In the commission the child was killed.

"We're going to look at the evidence of each witness. We're going to see what each witness would do. And we're going to compare It with the paid testimony of witnesses at so much per day. TL let your David Harnm common sense be the Judge. "Now, let us begin at the beginning.

Thta is the crime of the century. You will have that fact howled Into your ears for all time. I'm not here trying to fool you. "That was what the State charged In Its opening. That was the pattern they drew of the crime.

"So I say this Is the worst and lowest type of crime ever com. mltted. But It Is not the defendant who la guilty of It And no one holds In higher opinion the distinguished father of this unfortunate child. "My high opinion of Col. Lindbergh's marvelous flight will never be changed.

MUSSOLINI "ENRAGED" Rome to Send Utlimatum to Haile Selassie on Tribal Raids.

Rome, Feb. 11. Italy mob ilized two divisions of troops on a war basis today as the result of an'attack by Abyssinian tribesmen on Italian native troops in disputed territory between Abyssinia and Italian Sotnaliland. It was said authoritatively that an ultimatum be sent to the Emperor Halle Selassie Abyssinia's "King of Kings," unless Italy received complete satisfaction. Premier Benito Mussolini's action today came as a portentous climax to the announcement that last night the alleged attack and called some 75,000 picked men of mechanized military units to the colors.

No doubt was left that he is determined to end, by war If necessary, the raids by frontier tribesmen. The attack in question occurred Jan. 29. It was not known publicly until Mussolini's announcement of last night. Men of the mechanized units assembled quietly at secret depots, going for a possible war against the country from which the Queen of Sheba, as It then was, went to meet King Solomon and, in bearing a son to him, to found the dynasty which the Emperor Halle Selassie, "king of kings," now rules.

An official spokesman said bluntly today that the Italian Government was enraged. "The present situation cannot be exaggerated," he added. "The Government has been extremely calm and has carried patience to the limit "For months our outposts have been attacked, our colonial troops massacred. "Our protests against marauding bands regulars as well as Irregulars have been received with deaf ears by the Abyssinian Government. "We shall get satisfaction.

We cannot permit our frontier to be violated." There was definite war talk here, but It seemed doubtful whether Italy would make a formal declaration of war. It was believed that any operation would be It- the nature of a punitive expedition, such as was adopted by the Japanese In Manchuria and the British in their Sudan expeditions.

"Yes." the witness admitted, 'If you want to call It that; it was a total failure of snow-fighting equipment and management to meet an emergency such as arose in that storm.

Frerlch, one of the complaining taxpayers who took the stand, demanded steps be taken by the commission to have the Brooklyn Bus Corporation's franchise over Route S-B, between Gerrittsen ave. and Kings Highway, cancelled and assigned to some other operator. Today's hearing marked the continuation of the commission's inquiry into complaints that for 86 or 48 hours bus passengers got little, if any. service and were unable to get downtown because of this crippled condition. Mr.

Menden admitted the corpo ration was open to criticism because there was not enough snow-fighting equipment to meet a storm of the type which occurred on Jan. 28 and because the detailing of men to fight the storm was faulty.

His defense of the corporation was that in previous years the equipment had been adequate. The commission's counsel pre.vrd Mr. Menden for his opinion as to the usefulness of chains oi( buses. The witness said he thought they could operate JusV'jS well without chains in the type of storm the corporation was compelled to face. Afterward, Mr.

The infant was discovered In its carriage at 9:80 A.

On the other side of the note, the mother had scribbled penciled In structions for feeding the child.
