DRAMATIC APPEAL FOR

ACQUITTAL

Flemington, To-day.

Mr. Edward Reilly concluded his address for the defence of Bruno Hauptmann, charged with the kidnapping and murder of Col. Lindbergh's baby in 1932, with a dramatic plea for acquittal.

He declared: "I have faith that you all believe in the Golden Rule. The sturdy stock of this country has 'a reputation "for souareshooting men and women, who cannot be fooled.' -I believe this man is absolutely innocent and do not believe you are going to pick out any chestnuts from the fire for the distinguished Dis- trict Attorney of the Bronx.”

The court adjourned at 4.36 p.m. till to-day--Reuter.
