Hauptmann,
Hope Cone;
Weeps
By DOROTHY K1LGALLEN

COURTHOUSE, FLEMING
TON, Feb. II G.N.S0.-Bruno
Richard Hauptmann, his conf
dence in acquittal gone, his
nerves shattered, wept the tears
Of lost hope today in the last
hours of his trial for murder.
Frightened, he is praying now
for a disagreement of the jury.
Frightened, he cried in the
court room where soon, now, he
will go to his judgment.
His break came near the start
of Attorney Reilly's plea to the
jury-the plea Hauptmann's life
hangs on. It might have come
any time-Hauptmann is terri,
fled and on nerves edge.
His darting, deep-set eyes
sought out his wife, Anna, who
sat, clad in black, a few feet
from the prisoners chair. He
spoke to her and she leaned for
ward to answer him. but neither
smiled.
Then Hauptmann turned away,
and, shifting in his seat, he
twisted so that he almost faced
TIE jury as summation began.
He watched Prosecutor Anthony
Hauck rise, walk to the jury box
rail, and begin the final accusa-
ton that may send him to the
electric chair.
White to the lips, Hauptmann
listened while the proof, point
after point, was driven in like a
series of little nails.
Twitching, his head shaking
from side to side in silent denial,
he heard Mr.. Hauck cry to the
jury:
"Hauptmann! Hauptmann!
Hauptmann! Everything in
this case points to Hauptmann
as the murderer of that baby"
Hauptmann breated heavily.
His throat worked with convul-
SiVe swallows. His hands knotted
into fists-opened-spread-
knotted again.
He tried to look away from that
slender, tall, youngish man ham
mering at those nails
"Guilty conscience.
HE knew the baby was dead
when he wrote the notes"
HE is guilty of murder" ..
"guilty". guilty" guilty"
His Eyes toured the court room
walls. The flag on the wall. The
one oil painting. The maps behind
the witness chair-the empty
chair, now. The ladder, standing
against the wall like an accuse.
tion-like a pointing finger.
Always his eyes snapped back
pulled by a word, on a sentence,
or a singing phrase-to the
prosecutor, and to the sombre,
listening jury.

If her husband of one day had

Because then, pretty blonde
Lois Moran, of stage and screen
fame would not have bothered to
answer the telephone to talk to a
reporter. AS it was, her husband,
Col. Clarence M. Young, former
Assistant Secretary of Commerce
in the Hoover and Roosevelt ad-
ministrations, was out for a little
while and the new Mrs. Young
could come to the phone to say:
I'm very much excited"
Very informally and quite on

Young and the beautiful Lois
Moran were married late yester-
day in Baltimore after routing out
a courthouse clerk to get their
license and then finding a minis
ter to tie the knot.
The couple Immediately came
to washington for a brief honey
moon and are staying at the Hay
Adams house.
Mrs. Young explained that they
are expecting to leave by plane
for California within a day or two.
That's the business that took
Colonel Young away from his
bride today.
They decided to get married
while they were in New York yes
terday and, after calling the
brides mother, Mrs. G. E. Moran;
her sister, Miss Betty Moran, and
a friend, A. L. Miller, of New York,
they headed South.

Says:

SANTA MONICA, Calf, Feb.
11.-These old boys that's
claimed they been dead and
then come back to life, they
seem to be getting all the play
in the papers. The fellow in
England claimed he got to

and he is sorry they revived
him.
Well it's not much trouble to
get dead again, a little street
crossing without being alert will
do the job.
Then we got an old boy out
here in Hollywood that claimed
he was dead for ~ minutes, and
he says he was glad to get back
alive again.
Sounds like a chamber Of com.
merce add for Hollywood to me.
Course coming from where he
does he might have got in the

able.
Anyhow they're both lying,
but it helps kill time till the

There's as much excitement in

President Roosevelt has an

SCORES ON
RELIEF PAY
Senate Group to Reconsider
prevailing Wage" Action
in Works Program
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
international News Service


international News Service
President Roosevelt won a par.
tial victory today when the Senate
Appropriations Committee voted
to reconsider it's action of i'm.
posing prevailing wage scales" on
the 1880 million-dollar work-relief
program.
Four ocratic Senators
switched their votes to force recon-
sideration. A final vote on adop-
ton or rejection of the wage scale,
which the President opposes, was
postponed until after the commit
tee can hear Corrington Gill, AS
sistant Federal Emergency Relief
Administrator.
Would Double" cost
Mr.. Gill advised the committee,
declaring the cost Of the work
relief program would be nearly
doubled by payment of prevailing
wages instead of a $50 monthly re-
lief wage.
The four Democrats who switched
from the, prevailing wage rule
were Senators Me- Ga u ornia;
OMahoney, Wyoming: Russell,
Georgia. and Ruman, Missouri.
Senators Glass, Mcclellan, Hay
den, Byrnes, Tydings, Coolidge,
and Bankhead. Democrats: Hale,
Keyes, and Norbeck, Republicans,
voted with them to reconsider.
The motion was opposed by Sen
ators Copeland, Thomas, McCar-
ran, Overton. Democrats; Nye,
SteiWer, Dickinson, Townsend and
Carey, Republicans.
Limit Spending
Earlier, the committee adopted
an amendment by Sen ator
Siewier (R.) oregon, which would
limit the authority of emergency
officials to spend the 1000 mil
lion-dollar work fund. It pro-
vided that public roads, rivers
and harbors, reclamation and
public building projects should
be carried out under the direc-
ton of permanent government
departments and agencies. This
would limit the authority Of
Harold L. Ickes, Public Works
Administrator.
The committee also approved
an amendment by Senator Tyd-
ings CD Maryland, providing
that no person can receive direct
relief unless "in actual need" and
"who has not within so days re-
signed from or left any position,
the wage of which was at a rate
in excess of $50 a MONTH" This
would bar people who resigned
jobs in order to get on relief
rolls.
Loans Authorized
Another amendment by Senator
Russell CD of Georgia author
lied the President to make loans
to finance, in whole or part,
the purchase of farm lands and
necessary farm equipment" by
farm tenants or farm laborers.
The President was directed to fix
his own terms for such loans.
Another amendment by Senator
Steiwer to prohibit patronage in
filling jobs under the work fund,
was beaten without a record roll
call. It would have forbidden
political test qualifications" in
filling any emergency positions
and called for instant dismissal
of any official violating the ban.
