Reilly hammered at the State for declining to bring in Condon's record of his recollection of "John's" voice, fos not bringing in the footprint found by Condon's son-in-law in the cemetery. "They didn't dare," he said.

"It wasn't, like Hauptmann'a voice. It wasn't his footprint" "They talk about Justice! Hang this man and cover up our sins! Yes, hang this man and then have someone confess on his death bed, 10 years hence, that he pas part of the Lindbergh kidnap gang! Reilly's voice sank to a whisper as he next reviewed the story of the finding of the baby's body. "There is no proof Hauptmann was ever at that grave in the Sour-lands," he said. Relllly then attacked the reputation of Dr. Charles H.

Mitchell, the coroner's physician, who performed the autopsy on the baby's body. "The cracks he found in the baby's skull he couldn't say were caused during life. "But he found a blood cot. He had no witness to his autopsy. He had no report; he filled out a record.

He used It again today when he began his summation in the Hauptmann trial. rone, the taxi driver who said he had seen Hauptmann on Gun Hill rd. "I wish you could go to the Bronx and see that deserted road.

"There must be something to that fellow, Perrone, too. "The note on April 9 came to the house. Mrs. Hacker (Condon's daughter) doesn't remember who brought It. No one el.se does.

"Talk about 'plants' in this case.

Everything seems to have been planted since this defendant's arrest Man With Sprained Ankle Reilly scoffed at the suggestion that a man with a sprained ankle (after the kidnaping) could have leaped over the Woodlawn fence and been chased by "that all-Amerlcan patriot, a 71-year-old man." "So Imagine a man who kidnaped the baby and got the ransom aittlng on a park bench, with hia face uncovered, talking with Condon for an hour. "Why didn't somebody grab someone before Hauptmann?

"But I say to the colonel that a man who has so many hours in the air listening to the hum of his motor, and facing different cllraa tie conditions, could have been wrong in his identification of the voice. "The colonel suffered In silence the worst kind of suffering and If In the courtroom he is mistaken, that la to be understood.

The Investigation waa revealed during a Surrogate's Court hearing into the circumstances surrounding the signing of the codicil In the Scarsdale home of Victor K.
