"' f itwil"' Man sues lawyer for desertion from divorce trial indbergh pages eleased, viewed United Press International DALLAS — A man is suing his lawyer for not appearing at a di vorce trial in 1979, charging that because of the attorney’s absence his former wife got most of his property. The suit, filed in state district court by Robert Mootz, accuses attorney Brian A. Eberstein of fail ing to appear at the trial and sabo taging Mootz’ chances of an equit able settlement with his wife. Eberstein says he is angry ab out the suit and said it could ruin him professionally. He said Edmund Burke, the attorney for Mootz’s former wife, told him and his partner that the Dec. 10, 1979, divorce trial had been resche duled. W.J. Morris, Eberstein’s for mer law partner, accused Burke of breaking an unwritten code of conduct among attorneys that di vorce lawyers inform each other of changes in hearings or trials. Burke said the problem was caused by a misunderstanding. “We were down at the court a few days before the trial,” he said. “Morris was there, and I told him we needed to reset a contempt motion regarding Mootz, who wasn’t giving up some property he was ordered to. I said that motion was going to be set for the next week. “But I did not mention resetting the trial dnd we did not do it. They knew that. We were within two feet of the clerk, and Morris watched as she reset the contempt hearing but not the trial. ” Eberstein agreed there may have been a misunderstanding but said there was no reason to con tinue the trial without him. “If someone had called us and said, ‘It’s time for the trial, get down here,’ do you think we didn’t want to go down there?” he said. “Hell no, of course we re going to be there. But no one even called us from the courthouse.” Eberstein added: “I don’t de serve this kind of adverse public ity. It is one big headache, very disturbing, terribly unfair by Mootz, and you can’t get some thing like this off your mind. ” Mootz, 54, currently spends considerable time in Mexico and makes a living off investments, said Sheila O’Connor, the attor ney now representing him in the suit against Eberstein. Mootz’s new attorney in the di vorce case, Charles Robertson, appealed to the Texas Supreme Court, which does not hear di vorce appeals. He has now appealed to the nation’s highest court, the U.S. Supreme Court, seeking an order forcing the Texas Supreme Court to hear the di vorce appeal. United Press International §TST TRENTON, N.J. — ) cage-like rooms containing lence from the “trial of the tury” — including a ransom 2 and a nightgown of the infant of aviator Charles Lindbergh vere displayed Monday for the :ouldset (time in 45 years, to $3bl ilraost 90,()()() pages and pieces vidence detailing the murder kidnapping of 20-month-old arles Lindbergh Jr. were sea- after the 1936 trial of Bruno iptmann, a German immigrant rit ivicted of the slaying. But Hauptmann’s widow, Anna uptmann, last month sued the teto gain access to the files, and IT] v. Brendan Byrne ordered the opened. State police Friday set strin- it ground rules for the viewing. After a news conference, about photographers and reporters re allowed glimpses of mate- jls in two 10-by-10 rooms. The Raining documents are being of Mai - ical eth ired in nine crates in a special ini at state police headquarters v jth (lit West Trenton. One of the crates contains a sec- « of the trunk of Hauptmann’s develop dll keep D ? Hauptmann’s lawyer, Robert yan, said he would challenge e restrictions put on the viewing the evidence. He said since state police will ow only four researchers at a ore to view the materials, it Id take his team a year to corn- evidence they need to prove auptmann’s innocence. I In the two rooms opened for Rial viewing, photographic en- |rgements of the Lindbergh by, of the ransom note and of le infant’s pajamas were dis- layed. The ransom note read: “Dear Sir, have $50,000 ready. We warn you for making anyding public or for notify the police, the child is in gute care.” Another item displayed was a poster, dated March 11, 1932, that read, “Wanted: Information as to whereabouts of Charles A. Lind bergh, Jr., son of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, world famous aviator.” Hauptmann was convicted for the March 1, 1932, kidnapping, and was executed April 6, 1936, in the electric chair at Trenton State Prison. Since Hauptmann’s trial, ques tions have been raised about state police conduct during the investi gation, about whether Haupt mann was justly convicted and even about whether the Lind bergh baby was really slain. Two men — one from Bidde- ford, Maine, the other from San Francisco — wanted the evidence released so they might be able to bolster their claims to being the Lindbergh baby. A number of news agencies also are seeking to examine the evidence. Among the evidence that has been kept in an empty cell is: —-A crude wooden ladder iden tified as having been fashioned from planks from the floor of Hauptmann’s attic; —Blond curls saved by the Lindbergh family that matched hair found on the tiny corpse; —Marked bills paid as ransom and passed by Hauptmann in a Bronx gas station and found in his garage; —A flannel shirt, worn by Charles Jr., along with matching threads from the dead baby’s nightshirt.
