"The evidence must • establish I truth or the fact to a moral | ortainty. "But if after canvassing careI '”i]y the evidence, you determine j '-o defendant guilty, you must so ’-mounce.” Th° jurors, eyes on the grayhaired judge on the bench, listened in rapt attention. Justice Trenchard. sneaking slowly, enunciated each word precisely. “To make out a case of first | degree murder, the state must , prove“First—The death of Charles A. ; Lindbergh. Jr., as the result of a ; felonious stroke on the night of ■ March 1, 1932. in Antwell town- | sh<r>. “To eunnort toe charge the state han produced evidence to the folI lowing effect: "The fact of death seems to be i proved. At the time of death the child was 20 months. On the evening of March 1. 1932. the child I was prenared for bed by its raothI er and Betty Gow." "If vou find the defendant was , the man to whom the money was | delivered, the question is pertinI ent ‘was not the defendant the I man who left the ransom note I and took the child from the crib?’ ; “It is argued by the defense ! that, the kidnaping and murder I was done by a gang, and not by i the defendant, and that the defendant was in no wise concerned there. "The argument was to the effect

* that it was done by a gang with 1 the help or connivance of one or > more servants of the Lindbergh , ‘ household. J “Now do you believe that? Is - (here any evidence to support ; ’that? ' ' "The important question is did : 1 the defendant write the ransom I ! note found in the Lindbergh home —and the other ransom notes. "Mr, Osborn. Sr., said the con- | elusion that Hauptmann wrote the I random notes was conclusive. "Ou the other hand the defendant denies he wrote it and a handwriting expert foliowing him so testifies. “And so it is for you to decide i whether the defendant wrote Dr. 1 Condon’s telephone number’ and address on the board in his house. If you conclude that he did. then you may consider it as throwing light on the negotiations with Dr. Condon. ' “You may also consider the evi- ' dence to the effect that shortly ' after the delivery of the ransom, the defendant began leading more 1 heavily in stocks and spending more money than usual. "The defendant says that these ransom bills were left with him by one Fisch —a man now d<ad. Do you believe that? j "He says he found the moiKrv in a shoe box in a closet in hi> borne several months after the defendant says it was given him by Fisch. "Do you believe that he got that shoe box? “His wife, as I recall, said she never saw the box. and I do not■•ecall that anyone else but the defendant saw the box.” 0 j Babe Ruth Likes Baseball Best Os All London, Feb. 13 — (U.R) —Babe Ruth, who has been sightseeing here before starting on the homeward lap of his globe-circling tour, would rather play baseball than any other sport, not excepting baseball’s first cousin, cricket, which is not even second choice with him. He said today he had watched ; most of the major sports of the I world and has tried several. He ■! took a fling at cricket under the direction of Alan Fairfax, Anstialian master of the game. "Sure. I could sinak that cricket ' ball all right,” the babe said. ■ “Who couldn't twinging a board? I But I reckon I like baseball f>et- ■ ter. And golf is my second favi orite sport.” i American football, the babe bei lieveq, would become popular in - England. ■ "Eve an idea British sportmen ■ would go for it in a big way and ' be good at it, too." he said. > In contrast to the dullness of • Paris, where the home run hitter r complained that he was unnoticed • and lonely, he has been rushed I about London at such a rapid pace | that he couldn't remember half ho had seen and done.

Trenchard ordered Sheriff John H. t ur-: j tiss to send food in to them. "Just make it a light lunch." the justice told the sheriff, “sandwiches or something like that—enough to hold them together.” Prosecuting officials were openly jubilant over the charge delivered to the jury two hours previously bv Justice Trenchard.
