BENNINGTON, N. j., Feb. Is.
G.N.SD For six long and ardu-
Gus weeks I have sat in the
court room and watched Bruno
Richard Hauptmann from a dis
tance-from a seat 10 feet away.
1 could size him up only in an
impersonal way. To me he was
an enigma.
l have now met the man face
to-face, in his cell. No staring
crowds. No guards to grip his
wrists. No censors to still his
tongue.
And Bruno Hauptmann is still
a man of mystery to me.
You wouldn't think the man
was the convicted murderer of
the Lindbergh baby, to talk with
him. You'd never suspect the
shadow of the electric chair
lowered over him.
Calm an. Shy
Hauptmann was cool, deliber-
ate, almost shy. He conversed in
a calm, quiet manner. When I
suggested that. despite the appeal
his attorneys plan. he might have
to die, he said without the slight
est tremor in his voice:
IF 1 have to go to the cleo
trio chair, will go like a man."
have seen them die. I believe
Hauptmann would go just that
way.
Hauptmann was fully recovered
from an attack of nerves he had
after the verdict. He admitted
he suffered bit of a reaction
but said he was all right now.
Looks in the Eye
He was calmly pacing his cell
when I entered the third floor
tier. He had a space of about Is
feet which he could traverse. Just
off it was his cell which was
empty except for a cot. Two depu-
ties sat near the door, both armed.

through the white-painted bars.
His grip was firm. noticed there
was a blink to his small, deep-set,
blue-gray eyes. There was nothing
furtive about the man. He looked
me in the eye.
He put one foot up on the
bars and, seemingly relaxed, talked
without hesitation.
He was attired in undershirt
and trousers without a belt.
There were no laces in his shoes.
Nothing To Confess
started off cagily. But after
awhile 1 told him some people
suspected he had not told all.
That he was hiding something
Was there any chance that he
would make a confession? He
replied:

fess-I would have done it five
months ago and saved my wife

RELIEF FUNDS.
FACE FIGHT
TODAY
Senate Coalition Demands
President Tell Purpose
of $4,000, 100000
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON
Copyright, 1885, by International
News SerVice)

A militant Democratic. Republi-
can coalition in the Senate today
demanded solution of a 1000
million-dollar mystery before per.
hitting final action on President
RooSevelt'S 1880 million-dollar
Work-relief bill.
The mystery developed when
the Public Works Administration
admitted that only one-half of the
1000 million-dollar proposed work
fund could be spent within the
rext ID months under the terms
laid down by the President.
Demand Details
The coalition wanted to know
definitely how the President
planned to spend the remaining
1000 million dollars before per-
hitting enactment of the measure.
There was no controversy over
the $50 million dollars ear-marked
for direct relief. The Republican
leadership even agreed to enact
this portion Of the bill by unan1.
nous consent, so the Government
could secure that money immedi.
ately to relieve distress.
Back Wage Plan
A conference of Republican
Senators today overwhelmingly
Endorsed the McCarran amend.
ment to the work relief bill call
ing for payment of prevailing
wage rates" on all relief projects.
The Republicans also Endorsed
an amendment, proposed by Sena.
tor Metcalf (RD of Rhode Island,
providing that World War vete-
rams should be given preference
in the Governments reemploy-
ment program. The Republicans
also decided not to filibuster
against the bill but to demand a
full and free elaboration.
Sixteen Republican regulars"
attended the conference.

"Too Large and Too FIimsy,"
Officers Say; Wiley Heard
At Inquiry on Coast

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. Is
(USJ Faulty design in the
giant fins on which the dirigible
Macon depended for equilibrium
was advanced today by the ships
officers as possible cause Of her
crash off Point Sur last Tuesday,
after Comdr. Herbert v. Wiley,
skipper of the giant craft, had ex-
planned to naval board of in
quiry that, under stress, the
Macon's outer covering would
wrinkle at the points where the
fins were attached.
Fins Too Large
Commander Wiley refused to
amplify his formal testimony be.
fore the board. but admitted he
was anxious for the inquiring
body to probe thoroughly into the
question of the fin design.
Others Of the Macon'S officers
fatty declared their opinions, al.
though they asked their names
withheld until they had testified
before the board, that the Macon's
fins were too large and too flimsy.
and were bound to give out
sooner or later"
Commander Wiley, in his ties.
timony. said the same wrinkling
of the hull near the points where
the fins met was common to both
the Akron and the Macon and
added that one of the fins was
attached to the ship at frame No.
IT, the part of the huge hull
whose collapse in midair last
Tuesday doomed the Macon.
Explanation Hinted
Comdr. Jesse L. Kenworthy,
who followed Commander Wiley
as a witness in the opening ses-
sion of the inquiry board, said in
his opinion a gust Of wind ripped
off the ships top fin. He later
changed the wording Of his teS-
timony to "cause the casualty"
The theory advanced by the
dirigible's officers was especially
significant because Commander
Wiley told the board. as he fin.
ished his testimony. that he had
in mind a possible explanation Of
the crash.
Lieut.. Comd. Herbert v. Wiley,
officer in charge of the Inflated
Macon on her last flight and
one Of the three survivors of the
Akron disaster, became a full
rank commander today.
He was one of IS lieutenant
commanders recommended by
the Navy line selection board to
President Roosevelt for promo
ton. All of the recommends
tions were approved. Besides
Lieutenant Commander Wiley,
nine officers living in the Dis
trict area won promotion. They
