CLEARANCE Identifies Him by Voice Reilly Hints BettyGow May Have Aided Crime Continued from Pate 1 of the cry, "Hey, Doktorl" which he heard from the ransom receiver's mouth. 'It was And whose was the voice? he was asked. Lindbergh looked, for the first time, briefly toward the pallid, ttolid prisoner at the bar. For the first time he raised his own voice.

He said: "It was Hauptmann's." Up rose Reilly, when the cross examination began, stalked back and forth before the bench, "went after" the witness with pounding questions, with insinuations, with the whole bag of legal tricks at the command of one of the most expert 701 trial lawyers in the United States. Attacks Betty Gow's Kin He brought out that Colonel Lindbergh personally knew little about his servants, that the child "might have" been taken out of the house through a door instead of down the ladder that Betty Gow, the little Bcotch nurse, has two brothers, one of whom has once been in difficulties with the police. That, he hinted, maybe through Betty Gow, but not through Hauptmann, the kidnaping had been carried out. As Reilly continued the shadow of suspicion was cast in turn on Mrs. Ollie Whateley and her now deceased husband, who were caretakers at the Lindbergh Hopewell home, and on others unnamed.

The Same Voice Colonel Lindbergh related that he had heard the same voice, marked by the same foreign accent, when he confronted Hauptmann in the office of District Attorney Foley in the Bronx and the prisoner was led to repeat the two words.

"Are you on duty now?" Before the flier could answer Mr. Reilly asked: "Are you armed now?" Mr. Wilentz rose to his feet with an objection. The witness smiled and asked to be allowed to answer. Justice Trenchard permitted him to, and the answer was "No." Mr.

Reilly 's jaw didn't drop. It almost crashed down. No Hostility But it a only a moment later that Mr. Reilly was the imperious figure celebrated in the Brooklyn courtrooms. The lawyer suggested that the Colonel had shut off a road when he acquired the Hopewell estate.

Colonel Lindbergh said he had, but that no one had been cut off, and, in answer to Mr. Reilly, that he hafi heard of no neighborhood hostility to him prior to the kidnaping. Mr. Reilly then took up the Lindbergh household at the time. The witness explained that he had en OFF ON OUR ENTIRE STOCK KUPPENHEIMER '45.

"Sick friends'' simply abound in the courtroom, if the prayerful pleas of the crowds outside are to be believed. Scores have insisted they have an ailing buddy on the second floor who needs immediate attention.

At first the guardians of the doorway were stern but courteous. But their courtesy has succumbed to skepticism since the appearance "He wasn't reading a word In that book," the officer said, "but he tried to make it appear that he "No." was the response. Household Not Quizied The cross examiner learned that Colonel Lindbergh had subjected his household to no direct inquisition after the discovery of the crime and that the filer had perfect confidence in the police. "Do you believe the police are infallible?" Mr. Reilly inquired, incredulously.

"I think we have very good police here," was the quick reply. There was a smattering of applause which Justice Trenchard's gavel brought to a quick halt and a warning against further demonstrations. "But you hadn't made any efforts as a father to find out the antecedents of everybody in your employ," Mr. Reilly snapped. K's Federal Agents Colonel Lindbergh further amazed Mr.

Then it developed that the window through which the kidnaper gained entrance had not been locked on that tragic night. "It was not the custom to lock the window," Colonel Lindbergh stated. Mr.

Reilly immediately had it put in the record that Miss Gow and the Whateleys would be aware of J. Ericksen Will "Do you know theosophy" the inquisitor sprung on Colonel Lindbergh. The flier looked puzzled and responded "No." The inquisitor explained the subject as the study of symbols. The testimony proceeded to the advertisements through which the negotiations were carried and Mr. Reilly asked: "Didn't it occur to you that these ads might have been inserted by a master mind?" "I think it inconceivable." Colonel Lindbergh shot back.

"You were in the position of a father who wanted his son returned rather than an interested observer," Mr. Reilly suggested. "I was." "You had never been on the outside as an observer?" "That's why I contacted the police," Colonel Lindbergh retorted.

Reilly asked, on another turn. "Not that any one heard," was the answer. Mr. Reilly developed to great detail that the baby was not accustomed to being handled by strangers or "given to the milkman and butcher boy to carry around." The colonel parried equally well. He explained that the baby's crying at night had been ignored for some time that it developed the habit of going to sleep and staying asleep at nights.
