TRIAL OF HAUPTMANN EVIDENCE FOR THE STATE NEW YORK. Jan. 8 The trial was continued to-day at Flemington, New Jersey, of Bruno Hauptmann, charged with murdering the infant son of Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh. Two State witnesses, a Bronx taxidriver, named Perrone, and an 87-year-old retired New Jersey farmer, named Hochmuth, identified accused, who said to the farmer: "You are a liar." Perpone stated that on the evening of March 12, 1932, Hauptmann stopped him and gave him a dollar to deliver a note to Dr. Condon, the ransom intermediary. Witness stepped down from the witness-box and touched Hauptmann on the shoulder. Accused declared later that witness was crazy and had only seen his picture in the paper. Hochmuth, feeble of step and weak of sight, swore that Hauptmann, driving a green-coloured motor-car with a ladder in it, was the man he had seen near the Lindbergh home a few hours before the kidnapping. Mrs. Hauptmann cried: "It can't be. He can't mean Richard."
