Finish Is Spectacular
Hauptmann's trial closed with the
same spectacular incidents that
have attended the case from the
moment Betty Cow. nursemaid to
the Lindberghs' child, first diScov-
cred the vacant crib in the nursery
at Hopewell.
II was a bizarre, unbelievable,
fictitious scene. It was unreal, like
mob setting in a movie scenario.
The room where Hauptmann stood
up. straight and tall and firm, was
still blue with smoke, and the lit
ter of a thousand newspapers clut-
tered the floor.
Lights Are Turned OFF
The prosecutors were nervous. The
defense counsel, wandering about
the courtroom. we're manifestly I'M
easy. Mr.. Reilly, wearing the same
bland smile that is part of his stock
in trade. meandered through the
room. swapping wisecracks.
Suddenly Hauptmann, shackled to
Lieut.. A. c. Smith of the state DO
lice and Deputy Sheriff Hoyey 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 verdict had been reached.
Bruno Retains Self Control
The Courthouse bell, high above,
began tolling-a prearranged signal
to let the town know that the jury
had reached a decision.
Hauptmann appeared 90 be under
better self-control than his guards
and attorneys. Mr.. Fisher, who has
been closer to him than any of the
imported attorneys brought to his
defense. was white-faced.
He strobe over to the prisoner,
gripped him by the manacled hand,
and said. Bruno, please for my
sake, make no outcry, make no
noise. say nothing when this YER
dict is brought in. 1t will only hurt
your case if you do. Make no noise,
whatever the verdict is. Don't make
a motion. Leave everything to us.

Then Mr.. Fisher turned to the
Sallow-faced wife who has been the
only mainstay Hauptmann has had
during these months, and begged of
her the same action.
Please keep quiet, whatever hap
pens" he said.
Mrs. Hauptmann bowed her head,
but it seemed during those moments
she was waiting for the verdict that
she was unconscious. She looked
dead.

Leading characters in the long
search for che Lindbergh kidnaper
and in the trial of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann expressed themselves
on the jurys verdict today.
Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz, chief
of prosecution staff: The tremen-

the Hunterdon County jury was
shouldered without flinching. The
nation is indebted to these courage

Lloyd Fisher, associate defense

Reilly to Take Appeal
Edward j. Reilly, chief of defense
counsel: "An appeal will be taken
Immediately to the Court of Errors
and Appeals. Although the jury
has rendered a verdict on the facts,
we still believe a great many errors
of law were committed which will
ultimately mean the reversal of this
judgment.
H. Norman SchWarzkopf, superin-
tendent of New Jersey state police,
in charge of the long search for the
kidnaper: I feel that the verdict
is in accordance with the evidence
and that the ends of justice have
been served. The people of Hunter
don County have thoroughly juSti-
fled the confidence we have in them.
The presentation of the case by the
attorney general was not only mas
terful and Tesourceful, but inspired,
and the preparation was unquestion-
ably the most thorough and COM
petent that l have ever heard of. I
have said that this is a triumph for

work.

Philip Hockenbury, a farmer, who
has been impatient at much Of the
testimony throughout the trial,
snapped out his reply.
George voorhees,, a farmer who
has a reputation for being eX-
tremely sentimental, was another
of the jurors who choked and hest
tated when he was forced to speak
the words that would send Haupt-
mann to the chair.
Mrs. May F. Brelsford, the most
serious and certainly the most Schol-
arly of the woman jurors, woman
who preSideS at womens clubs in
Pennington and who is known for
her research into sociological prob
lens, stood with infinite dignity
and announced her agreement in
cultured tones.
Sick Man Stands Firm
Juror No. II was a man over
whom the authorities had been
gravely concerned throughout the
case. He was Liscom c. Case, a re-
tired carpenter who suffers from a
chronic heart ailment and who has
had to be assisted into court at
times by the bailiffs. Mr.. Case
stood at his chair without a culver
and delivered his verdict in firm
voice.
The final member Of the jury was
Howard V. Biggs. Juror No. II had
been unemployed. He was once a
bookkeeper. He was a little man,
slight, gray-faced, who has an abid-
ing devotion for his family, to
whom he used to write letters daily.
He was one of the most intent
jurors throughout the six weeks of
testimony to which he had to listen.
When he had to deliver his verdict,
he stood erect and gave it as the
concluding juror in the panel in a
strong, clear voice.

was in a shrill, sharp voice that
penetrated to the gallery. He swal-
lowed hard and stood swaying at
his seat.
Juror No. was Mrs. Rosie Pill.
She was white-faced and obviously
moved. She answered the poll in

Mrs. Ethel Stockton, the belle of

CHEER AS JURY
CONvICTS BRUNO
Panel, Nervous at First,

After Ordeal.
BY JAMES c. AUSTIN
United Press STAFF Correspondent

PENNINGTON. N. j.. Feb. IA
One Of the greatest crowds that
ever stood n the streets of this old
town heard the tolling of the court
house bell denoting that the jury
celebrating the fate Of Bruno
Richard Hauptmann had reached
verdict. The throng was estimated
to number nearly 1000.
At the same time a solemn group
of II persons walked into Hunter
don County courtroom, stepped into
the jury ooX and pronounced, one
by one, their belief that Hauptmann
was guilty of the murder and kid
mapping of the Lindbergh baby.
1t was a contrast of personalities,
and that was what packed the
county seat of Hunterdon County
with more drama than it had seen
for many a year.
Bruno Appears Calm
Hundreds had come to Main-st in
the early morning to wait for the
gong in the bell tower to sound its
knell. They expected it would ring
at p. m, and they waited patiently
and in constantly increasing num-
bers until 1923 p. m. for the signal.
That was six minutes before the
jury-the faces of its members ashen
filed into the box in the smoke
filled room it had left more than
eleven hours before. 1t was at least
10 minutes before the prisoner
calmer than his peers-learned he
was doomed to death.
Outside, watched by alert squads
of state policemen, were the thou
sands eager to cheer a verdict of
guilty; ready to lament the un-
expected news that Hauptmann had
been acquitted Within a small
narrow room filled with exhibits
the mute evidence produced in more
than six weeks of trial-Were eight
men and four women seeking an
answer to the greatest problem Of
their lives.
Mob Disperses Early
That was why one group entered
the courtroom with pale faces and
worn bodies, and why another stood
in the streets and cheered tolling of
bell that has sounded for the past
LOT years every time a verdict was
reached.
After the verdict was announced,
when the tumult was at its height
in the streets, the echo of wild
cheering was heard by Hauptmann,
few hundred feet away in his cell.
The convicted man listened in sis
lence.
Within a few minutes the mob in
front of the Courthouse began to
disperse. An hour after the verdict
was read only a few hundred re-
manned in the streets.
Jury Gets Beer
For the jury which sat through
six weeks of testimony, it was diff
ferent story. Each felt marked by
the event of the night. Each felt
that he or she was destined to be
known, not as Charles Walton or
Rosie Pill, but as member of the
jury that convicted Hauptmann.
The jury, under heavy police
guard, marched across the street to
its quarters in the hotel. There were
attempts at levity that fell fiat.
Some one in the jury quarters
turned on the victrola, but the effort
was not appreciated-the jury was
in no mood for music.
This mood soon wore off. The
hotel management sent up pitchers
of beer, the makings of highballs,
trays of sandwiches. An hour after
the verdict, the jurors were sing
ing. They sang, talked to relatives,
and finally at a. m. retired.

LONDON, Feb. 14.-There was one
note of happiness today in excited
comment of Britons on the con-
demnation to death of Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann.
1t came from Mrs. John TAYLOR
mother of Betty Cow, nurse to the
murdered Llndbergh baby. 1t was
not because Hauptmann was con-
victed, but because his conviction
meant the clearing of her daughters
name.
Commenting at her Glasgow home

Fails to Lecture Bruno
Mr. Wuentz stepped to the JUS
tees bench and made the notion
in a voice so low that only its over
tones we're caught by the press
benches. 10 feet away.
Justice Trenchard ordered Haupt-
mann 20 stand up once more. His
sentence was brief and couched IN
the simplest Of terms. He did not
lecture Hauptmann- He did not
comment on the case. He merely
said that il was incumbent upon
him, as a judge, to fulfill his duty.
Hauptmann looked bewildered.
Col. H. Norman SchwarzkOpf, New
Jersey police head, who for 80
months had devoted his waking
hours TO running down the kidnaper
and murderer of Charles A. Lind
bergh Jr.. leaned back in his chair
as though satisfied with his work.
The lips Of the condemned mans
wife we're quivering. and her face
was drained Of color. She did not
look at once at her husband. In
stead. she seemed to look to the
attorneys she had gathered IN her
husbands behalf.
Stumbles Past Judges Bench
Mr.. Fisher, seeing that Haupt-
mann was under control. turned to
Mrs. Hauotmann. Leaning half
across the table, he grasped her
hand and said, Nov. now. don't

Anna Hauptmann's face was
turned away from her husband, who

Justice Trenchard looked at the
group.

There was a sudden movement at
the rail. Hauptmann was dragged
10 his feet. He was taken. crab
wise past the counsel table, and
stumbled as he rounded its corner
near the judges bench. For a mo-
ment IL looked as though he was
about TO fall.
