MOB SPIRIT
IN JERSEY
ASSA|LED
Supreme Court Is Told
Fair Trial Denied
BY Prejudice
International News Service

Declaring that he was denied
the fair trial guaranteed by the
Constitution, Bruno Richard
Hauptmann today appealed to the
nations highest legal tribunal.
The petition for a writ Of review
of his conviction for the kidnap-
ing-murder of Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh's infant son, drawn by his
lawyers, was formally docketed il
the Supreme Court.
A vigorous defense of his trial
ct Flemington was expected to be
given the court by the State Of
New Jersey, which has 20 days to
answer Hauptmann's petition after
service.
The high court will act on the
petition soon after New Jerseys
answer is filed. A ruling is ex-
pected by Christmas.
Should the high court find
merit in Hauptmann'S contentious,
oral argument will be ordered. But
If the petition is denied, Haupt-
mann races deaCh.
Charge ''Mob Spirit"
Hauptmann's lawyers declared
that "mob spirit" controlled the
trial, and charged that presence
of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh in
the court room was prejudicial to
him.
The petition, filed by Egbert
RoSecrans, C. Lloyd Fisher and
Frederick A. Pope, counsel, de-
clared Hauptmann was "denied
due process of law and the equal
protection Of the laws guaranteed
under the fourteenth amendment
of the Constitution of the United
States"
Errors cited were:
/. Because of "the hysterical
mob spirit with which the jury
was surrounded during the entire
conduct of the trial"
2. Because of "the picture Of a
circus maximum which was daily
presented to the jury during all of
the conduct of the trial"
Score Lindebrgh'S Presence
8. Because of the daily presence
Of Colonel Lindbergh which un-
duly influenced the jury to view
him as the real prosecutor and
constantly presented to the jury
the picture Of a bereaved father
for whose sorrow the world de-
1landed q sacrifice"
4. Because of inflammatory
summation of Attorney General
Wilentz and because Judge
Trenchard's charge to the jury
portrayed manifest approval of
the States theories" and was
argumentative.
One of the principal points
stressed by Hauptmann's counsel
was the alleged conflicting
theories adopted by the State.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. IL G.N.S).
For two weeks, Heather Angel
and Ralph Forbes, Hollywood
film stars, have been guarded
against a persistent terrorist who,
so far, has managed to escape
police traps.
The strange series of events
began when the R-K-O actress
and her husband returned to
their canyon home one night to
find both their dogs suffering
from poison. Quick work by a
veterinarian saved the animals.
Then came an attempt to
force an entry into the players
house. An intruder, believed to
be the same who tried to kill
the dogs, broke the lock on the
back door, but was routed by
screams of servants.
Striking again, and with a
boldneSS that police think may
indicate a demented mind, the
intruder next tried to jimmy a
living-room window. Once more
he was frightened off by SER
wants.
Police have been on watch
ever since, but the marauder
either has ceased his efforts, or
has sensed the trap.
One theory is that it may be
the same person who recently
poised a cocker spaniel belong
ing to Lili Damita and Enrol
Flynn and shot another of their
dogs in the leg.
