DEFENSE TO APPEAL
FROM JURY DECISION

Continued from page one)
of Baby Charles A. Lindbergh,
Jr.
Hauptmann was sentenced to
be executed the week of Monday,
March Is. :
A jury that had searched for
verdict from HIS a. m. filed
into the courtroom at lO:4G p.
m. last night and returned ver-
dict of guilty as charged in the
indictment"
That verdict solved for all
time, so far as the State of New
Jersey is concerned, the riddle of
the Enjbergh crime. For the in
dictment charges that Haupt-
mann alone planned and execut-
ed the kidnapping that occurred
almost three years ago on the
slope of Sourland mountain, and
that nowhere in the world are
there any sccomplices.
The courtroom was electric
with tension as the jury, led by
its scholarly foreman, Charles
Walton, filed into the box. Haupt-
mann was sitting in. the same
seat he had occupied since the
trial started, hand-suffed to his
guards.
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh,
who has attended every session
of the trial. was absent last night.
Lloyd Fell, the court clerk,
stood up at his table in front of
the bench and asked:
Jurors, have you reached a
verdict?"

Fisher, the member of his legal
staff who has visited him every
day in Jail.
Can you come in tonight?" he
asked Fisher. 4.
NO, but III come in tomor-
row." Fisher said.
Then Hauptmann was led out,
around the corner of the bench,
out a rear door and across the
bridge of signs to the cell that
has been his home for months.
The prisoner stumbled a bit as
he nassed his counsel table. .
You know" Fisher said, as If
talking to himself, Il never be-
lieved they would 90 that. Inc
least they should have done was
to give him life Imprisonment
and q chance to solve the crime
that isn't solved yet. ,,
After q quick conference at the
defense table, Edward J. Reilly,
chief of Hauptmann'J lawyers,
announced he would appeal.
Although the jury has rem
dercd verdict on the facts, y
Reilly said, eve believe there
were many errors of law which
ultimately will mean a reversal"
Justice Trenchard turned to the
jury that has heard 100000
words of testimony and cOngratu-
lated its members on the "faith-
full and conscientious execution
of your duty"
Then guards surrounded Mrs.
Hauptmann and escorted her. to
a rear door of the courthouse.
Her knees wavered bit, and a
state trooper took her arm and
said:
STEADY, now, don't break
here"
Hurried interviews with per-
sons close to the jurors Indicated
that the eight men and four wo-
men were agreed from the begin
ming of their deliberations that
Hauptmann was guilty. The only
question that kept them in ses-
sion for more than II hours was
whether they should doom Haupt-
mann to the electric chair or
bring in a recommendation that
he be sentenced to life imprison-
ment.
Despite the fact that Haupt-
mann was sentenced to be exc
cuted in the "week beginning
March 49, it is extremely I'M
likely that he will die until May
at the earliest. An appeal from
a death penalty virtually is man
datory in New Jersey. That APP
peal probably will go to the court
of errors and appeals. That is
made up of the nine supreme
court Justice six Law judges and
the chancellor of New Jersey.
Justice Trenchard, a member of
the state supreme court, is dis
qualified to sit on the court Of
errors and appeals because he
presided here.
The next term of the court of
errors and appeals starts on May
IA. Argument Of the appeal prob
ably would take a week.
Hence it probably will be the
middle of spring before Haunt
mann knows definitely whether
the sentence imposed upon him
last night will be effective or
will be set aside by the higher
court.
NO GLOATING AMONG

man said last night that justice
had taken its course. None Of

Juice SIGNS THE
DEATH WARRANT
Sheriff John H. Curtiss said last
night he was undecided when
Hauptmann would be moved from
the Hunterdon county jail to the
death house at Trenton. The law
stipulates that AZ hours must
elapse between the time of SEN
fencing and the removal to the
state prison.
Justice Trenchard signed the
death warrant while still on the
bench last night.
Another dramatic moment
came when Justice Trenchard re-
turned to the bench and formally
handed the death warrant to
Sheriff Curtis. All spectators
were cleared out Of the inside of
the railing. The ce".nony lasted
only a minute.
Curtiss said one reason he did
not want to announce definitely
when Hauptmann would be re-
moved to the death house was
that he wanted to avoid publicity.
A throng surged outside the
courthouse last night when the
old bell in the tower Of Hunter
don county courthouse began to
toli-the ancient signal that a
Jury was ready to file in and an
nounce whether a prisoner at the
bar should live or die.
Flood lights made a white way
out of the main street of this
village and an extra force of
state police called out to keep
