The defense Monday will send more handwriting experts to the stand in an effort to refute the testimony of eight state script experts who have sworn that the former German machine-gunner penned, in a disguised hand, the ransom notes. Beyond that, it has a fw more alibi witnesses, pulled out of nowhere by the astute Reilly. As the case entered what may be its last week of trial, it was generally conceded that Hauptmann himself has been his best witness. Witnesses who have taken the stand to support his alibi have not been impressive to observers.
