But this will be only preliminary, for during the whole of the sum- mer they will study individually the ten-volume record of the trial at Remington before deciding wheth- CT Hauptmann's appeal from con- vietion is justified
 The decision probably will be made late in october Eight votes will be needed for Hauptmann to get new trial. A TT vote will sustain the verdict of the eight men and four women who sat in judg- ment in the old Hunterdon county courthouse for the first six weeks of this year.
 Hauptmann To Be Absent
 Chancellor Luther A. Campbell, the states highest judicial officer, will preside at the appeal hearing. With him will be Chief Justice Ihcmas J Brogan and seven asso- ciate justices of the supreme court and five lay judges Normally the court is composed of 16 men, but there is one lay vacancy, and Jus tice Thomas w, Trenchard, who sat .at the Bennington trial, will not take part in the appeal. Hauptmann himself will not be present at the hearing, and the at tendance will be limited to about 75 persons.
