Hauptmann, dealing in his own name or in his wife's maiden name, Anna SehoefHer, bought and sold siocks. mainly in 100 share blocks, and he was no shoestring trader. At first he bought his stocks outright, but gradually, as the magnitude of his deals increased, he went into margin dealing.

But his was never a 10 pomt margin. He frequently had a cash balance with his broker, Stelner, Rouse fe and when there was a debit, the stocks which the broker held for him covered the debit several times over. Dralt in Many Issues He dealt in a great variety of stocks: New York Central, Warner Brothers. Fox Film 'A." Radio, Curtis Wright, Republic Steel, Dominion Stores. General Electric and many others.

Wilentz claims was Hauptmann's motive for 1 committing the crime had not yet been told. While Frank testified In an impersonal voice, Hauptmann remained in his seat as usual, without conferring with his attorneys, although he had studied photo static copies of the banker and broker records in his cell over the weekend, so that he might be able to suggest a helpful line of questioning. To Call Wood Expert The kidnap ladder, not yet introduced in evidence, remained in the courtroom, waiting for Arthur Kohler, wood expert, to show how part of the wood In It matched, grain for grain, a wooden panel ripped from the Hauptmann house.

WUentz said that a New York law Ernest King, Flushing National Cashier, Succeeds Banker Whom Court Held Liable in Love Suit Filed by Broker Thomas P.

"Are there any more sheets?" asked the attorney. "Oh. yes, there's quit a few," the witness replied. Owed Broker $7,971 Despite the profits, Hauptmann owed the broker $7,973.72 at the end of June, the broker holding his shares of stock as security.

During June he had traded In stocks with a total value, of over $50,000. Hauptmann seemed to enjoy his testimony role of a Wall St. plunger and a man of finance.

He entered i on a period of active trading in stocks. Reilly pounded away at the point that sales almost balanced i the purchases, that Hauptmann did not need to deposit any large amount. He was "constantly In the market, trading, wasnt he?" asked Reilly, and the witness agreed.
