from Pennington, N. j.:
"Rumors that Bruno Richard Haupt-

In prosecution circles the belief
was expressed that the accused may
confess because of the weight of evi-
dence that the State has presented.
The State has no intention of making
any deal with Hauptmann during the
trial, it was said, but a confession
naming other persons might be con-
sidered after a verdict Is returned.
