table, he grasped her hand and said, Now, now, don't worryl Leave everything to us. Don't make a sound"
 Anna Hauptmann's face was turned away from her husband, who was still sitting as though shocked. Then she turned and looked him full in the face, with an attempted smile that failed be- fore 1t began.
 Justice Trenchard looked at the | group.
 And the prisoner is remanded to the custody of the sheriff." he said.
 There was a sudden movement at the rail. Hauptmann was dragged to his feet. He was talk en. crab-wise past the counsel table, and stumbled as he round ed it's corner, near the Judges bench. For a moment 1t looked as though he was about to fall.

 Justice Trenchard rapped for order. He was plainly upset, and he was particularly incensed at the disorder that followed Haupt- mann's disappearance. The formality was soon con- cluded. Reilly announced that he would appeal Ito the highest court in the land" if necessary, to save his clients life. Lloyd Fisher said he didn't know where the money would come from, because Zap peals cost money"
 He was visibly affected by the verdict-more so than the con- demncd man. He was more af- fected when one Of the deputy sheriffs attending Hauptmann came back and reported his last moments with Hauptmann in the cell.
 Hes crying" said the deputy, "the poor devil! He's in an awful funk. He is shocked and stunned and broken"
 | Breaks Down at Last | When Hauptmann had reached his cell, his first act was to throw himself down on his cot, almost unconscious. He looked, for one of the few times since he has been a prisoner under the white lights of his corridor and the always watchful eyes of his guards, like a man thoroughly beaten. WilentZ, smiling, marched through the mob to his car and announced he would go to Florida at once. The crowd. outside, under the flood lights of the movie cameras, laughed and cheered. The court of errors and appeals, which will hear the appeal of the Bronx carpenters counsel, Reilly and his attorneys of record, Fisher and Frederick A. Pope, will not meet until May 14. They may hand down a decision soon there after and the grisly electric chair climax to the Lindbergh crime may occur by May 25.
 Spectacular Closing Hauptmann's trial closed with the same spectacular incidents that have attended the case from the moment Betty Cow, nursemaid to the Lndberghs' child, first discov- cred the vacant crib in the nursery at Hopewell.
 Whillng away the passing hours with earnest conversation, were i50 press correspondents waiting for the verdict. There was & cer- tain tension that could not be con- cealed.
 Attorney General Wilentz, win. ming the first criminal prosecution of his career, had inside informa- tion that the jury had arrived at verdict. For few moments before the Jury filed In, he took command of the situation. Tho lights in the entire court went off. Only small glimmer of the corridor lights showed that the entire court had not been thrown into darkness. "I want this courtroom orderly" said WilentZ, in the darkness, land will the state police please clear the room and stop this scene. It is mad house."
 Colonel Schwarzkopf, superln- tendent of the New Jersey state po- lice, snapped out some commands. The lights suddenly flashed on and constnbles and deputy sheriffs be- gan checking the credentials of every person in the room. Those without tickets were elected 10 join the waiting crowds standing out side in the cold. Victim Was led In Suddenly Hauptmann. shackled to Lieutenant A. c. Smith of the state police and Deputy Sheriff Hovcy Low, the bracelets shining below the cuffs of his brown suit, was led into the room. At his entrance the entire room became hushed. It was known that Hauptmann would not be brought in unless a verdict had been reached.
 The court house bell, high above began tolling--a pre- arranged sig nal to let the town know that the jury had reached a decision.
 Hauptmann appeared to be un- der better self-control than his guards and attorneys. Fisher who has been closer to him than any of the imported attorneys brought to his defense, was white faced. He strode over to the prisoner, gripped him by the manacled hand, and said, Bruno, please for my 1 sake, make no Outcry, make Do noise, say nothing when this yer dict is brought fin. It will only hurt your case if you do. Make no noise, whatever the verdict Is. Don't make a motion. Leave everything to us. We'll take care of every thing"
 Then Fisher turned to the sallow faced wife who has been the only mainstay Hauptmann has had during these months, and begged l of her the same action.
 Please keep quiet, whatever happens" he said.
 Mrs Hauptmann bowed her head. but it seemed during those m0- ments she was waiting for the ver- diet that she was unconscious. She looked dead.
