Capital Opinion Backs
Hauptrnann Verdict

Comment by members of Cor
greSs upon the death verdict TO
Hauptmann afforded an interest
ing cross7section of opinion.
Some of it follows:
Representative Arnold d. Of
Illinois: Il think they got the
right man."
Representative Mapes (R.) Of
Michigan: Il don't see anything
else the jury could do"
Representative Cannon 3D. of
Wisconsin: 81 have tried about
As or so murder cases. /
thought there was enough con-
flicting evidence to create a
doubt that, IL there were a find
ing Of guilt, only life iHnprisOn-
ment would be given, 50 that if
there were q mistake it mil ht
be discovered later"
Representative Stubs 3D. of
California: 81 did not think they
would convict him. / thought
the evidence would have left D
doubt. It has always been my
opinion that 1t was an inside
job"
Representative Dies 3D. Of
Texas: "The verdict was justi.
fled"
Representative Cole 3D. Of
Maryland: MY reading Of the
case causes me to believe it was
o just verdict"
Representative Grove 3D. Of
Indiana: Il think he is as guilty
as can be, and that the verdict
was just and equitable
Senator CoStigan 3D. of Colo
RADIO: "The verdict was not sur.
priSing. The case was tried in
an atmosphere of intense public
interest which presented un-
usual difficulties for an attOr.
ney for the defense. The uni.
verSal sympathy for Colonel
Lindbergh and his wife was also
an important factor in the de-
ciSion."
Senator Nye (R.) Of North Da-
kOta: Heavens, hasn't enough
been said about that trial and
its decision already? 1 don't
want to say anything"
Senator Van Mugs d. of In
diana: 1T was a very righteous
and inspiring verdict"

BROTHER DIES

Major Ernest w. Brown, su-
perintendent of police, received
word from Assistant Superintend-
ent L. I. H. Edwards today, in
Canton, Ohio, that the latter's
brother had died there early this
morning from blood poisoning re-
sulting from the crushing of his
hand in an accident.
Inspector Edwards left for Can
ton, Tuesday night, and was at
his brothers bedside when death
occurred. The brother, Jesse H.
Edwards, was a prominent build
ing contractor in the Ohio city.
He was SO.
In his message to Major Brown,
Inspector Edwards said funeral
services would be held there Sat-
urday.
The Washington times., 1935-02-14

There was scant sympathy for
Bruno Hauptmann among law
yerS, police and other officials
in Washington today, according
to their comments on the verdict.
The concensus appeared to be:
HE had it coming"
Most of the public figures inter-
viewed expressed the view New
Jersey had handled its case ex-
cellently, that justice was served
when the jury doomed Haupt-
mann to die in the electric chair.
Major Ernest w. Brown,
superintendent of police: II
did not follow the case in all
its detail, yet it seems to me
to be a good verdict. The
case was very well developed,
I thought"
Wilbur LaROe, jr., Of the
District Parole Board: II don't
feel especially qualified to speak
on the Hauptmann verdict, but
as a former resident of New
Jersey / know the State prideS
itself on the Justice it metcS
out. I'll stick with the jury's
verdict"
Attorney General Cummings
office announced: "There'll be
no statement on the Haupt-
mann verdict by either Mr..
Cummings or J. Edgar Hoover,
chief of the division of investi-
CATION"
Former Judge Marion DeVries:
"On the face Of the evidence
that I have read, the verdict APP
pears to me to be just. / think
there is little danger of an ap-
peal upsetting the decision"
District Attorney Leslie G.
Garnet: I'D rather not make
o statement"
Inspector Frank s. w. Burke,
chief Of detectives: 1.-THE jury
came to the only verdict it
could. 1t examined all the wit
neSSeS and arrived at the only
possible conclusion.
A number Of clergymen queried
on their opinion were unanimous
in asking to be excused from com
ment.
Police Judge Gus A. Schuldt
remarked: 81 am not surprised
at the verdict"
Then he added:
"I'm not surprised at any
thing a jury does. I've been
around courts too long"

COL. L|NDBERGH
TOGET REFUND
Of RANSOM

Who gets the Lindbergh ransom
money If Bruno Richard Haupt'
mann goes to the electric chair?
Treasury experts. Department of
Justice officials, lawyers, Federal
Reserve authorities, and lawyers
in the Federal service who have
no connection with the case
thought today they had the
answer to the question arising in
the wake Of Hauptmann'S conVic'
ton.
Lindbergh To Be Repaid
Their conclusion was that
Uncle Sam will get the $4,000
in gold certificates found in
Hauptmann's garage or Secreted
elsewhere about his house, but
that Colonel Lndbergh, who paid
it to him through "Jafsie"-Dr.
John F. Condor, of the Bronx,
New York, acting as an inter
mediary-will receive an equiva-
lent sum in silver certificates,
Federal Reserve notes, or some
other form Of currency.
But If the Supreme Court of
the United States should decide
that holders Of gold certificates
must be paid in terms of their
original value, as measured by
the deprecated dollars now in
circulation, the Federal Treasury
Of the Federal Reserve Bank of
New York, to whom the sertifi.
Gates will be delivered in the
event Of Hauptmann'S execution,
would, in the absence Of new
legislation, be required to pay
the original owner q sum in dol
lars equal to the face value of
the gold bills plus 10 per cent,
or $4,000.
Appeal Wanted
Here is what will have to hap
pen first, however, as authorities
here see it:
First, the money will remain
In the custody of the clerk of
court at Pennington, N. j., as
an exhibit in the kidnapping case.
until the appellate courts pass
on Defense Counsel Edward j.
Reilly's appeal for a writ of err
for, which, if granted. would give
Hauptmann a new trial.
Once this question is settled,
or when Hauptmann goes to his
death-if he does-the gold GER
tificateS will be turned over to
the Federal Reserve Bank Of
New York.
Colonel Lindbergh thereupon
would be required to file a claim
for their return to him. But
even If the claim for the money
were allowed, it would be illegal
to give him gold certificates, un'
der the characterization act and
executive orders. For that reason
payment would have to be made
in other currency.
Jail Sure for Hauptmann
It was pointed out here today
that even if Hauptmann should be
freed of the murder charge as a
result Of a. second trial, he could
be prosecuted by the Federal Gov
eminent under the collaborating
act for illegal possession of gold
certificates; or, if he should sue
coed in establishing his innocence
OF any connection with the crime,
by the New York State govern
ment, for obtaining money from
Colonel Lindbergh under false pre-
lenses.
Thus it seemed certain that he
would either die in accordance
with yesterdays verdict or remain
In jail for a long time, and
wouldn't get the money back,
either.
