HAUPTMANN’S TRIAL
Dr. Condon’s Evidence By Teicgraph—Press Assn.—Copyright FLEMINGTON (NJ.), Jan. 10. Dr. John Condon stepped down from the witness stand after eight hours’ examination in the case in which Bruno Richard Hauptmann is charged with murdering the Lindbergh baby. His story was unshaken in any important detail, despite the continuous efforts of the defence counsel to discredit him in various ways. Colonel Breckenridge, Colonel Lindbergh’s personal attorney, was the next witness. He testified that all through the ransom negotiations Dr. Condon had insisted that the 50,000 dollars should be paid to the kidnappers only after they had delivered the baby safely in his hands. He and Colonel Lindbergh overruled Dr. Condon and insisted that no trap be laid, holding that their duty to the State was nullified by their u superior duty to recover the child.” It was by far the worst day the defence has had so far.
