messenger boys dashed past with
sheaves Of copy, men and women
called out to know what she was

to her with what few words they

had enjoined upon her in my hearing
before the return of the jury. mo

or through sheer numbneSS, she kept
her word. But of all which stood out
in my mind, as small things will
sometimes become symbolic of greater
things, I know that I shall never
forget my sense of dismay that this

that the water pitcher on the table

neys could apply to the Court of Par
dons in october for communication
of sentence.
Any appeal to the Federal courts
would delay his march to the electric
chair still longer.
Hauptmann'S defense was a blanket
denial Of the States accusations and
was based principally on alibis for
the key dates.
He was charged with stealing
Charles Lindbergh, jr., from his crib,
killing him in a fall from a home
made ladder while descending from
the nursery window. burying the body
in a woods and then extorting the
ransom.
Cost of Case Great.
Police recovered Sl4,600 of the ran
som money from Hauptmann's ga
rage in the Bronx. A wood technician
traced the ladder to his home and
handwriting experts said he penned
the extortion letters. He admitted
only that he had the $14,6O0, and
said that had been given to him by
Isador Fisch, now dead.
Based on the States estimate of
$1,000 a day, the trial cost New Jer-
sey $4,000. The State House Com
mission, which holds the strings of
the official rainy day bag, allotted
$50,000 for the case. Other thou
sands had been spent in the investi-
cation.

Quickly Frau Hauptmann decided

Writes in Gothic Script.
She picked up a pen and with
trembling hand wrote in Gothic script:
Dear Mr.. President:
Il am the mother of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann and have today learned
through newspapers of the terrible
Verolct against my son. Dear Mr..
President, the World War has already
taken from me my husband and two
of my sons. I am 10 years old. (Her
10th birthday anniversary is next
June)
1T would mean my death, If you,
Mister President, don't pardon my son
because then I shall be all alone.
Mister President. disregard his pre-
viouS offense for which the world must
be held responsible; Bruno isn't bad
man. Therefore, I beg you to be mer-
ciful to him.
Yours a poor mother, Frau Pauline
Hauptmann."
Mailed Letter Personally.
The letter finished, the aged mother
took it to the post office directly 80
that it will be in the hands of this
generous man as soon as possible"
News of the verdict spread like
wildflre through Kamenz. The local
newspaper office, which put a hand
written bulletin in its show window,
was literally besieged by a crowd ex-
citedly discussing the case.
Just think Of the terrible blow to
his poor, old mother" was the recur-
ring expression.

HAUPTMANN SOBS
IN QUIET OF CELL
Consoles Wife in Court
Room, but Breaks Down
on Return to Jail.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
PENNINGTON, N. j., February IA.
Bruno Hauptmann, manacled and
listening to his doom, was silent.
Bruno Hauptmann, led back to his
cell in the Hunterdon County Jail,
broke down and wept.
Hearing jury and judge order him
put to death as the killer of the Lind
bergh baby, the Bronx carpenter spoke
only to comfort his wife.
ITS all right, Annie" he said.
But in the loneliness, the pseudo
privacy Of prison, which has been his
lot for five months, he mumbled unin-
telligible German phrases.
Weeps, Face Down, on Bunk.
Hauptmann threw himself face down
on his bunk last night, after he had
been led from the court, and wept.
Far into the night he sat on the edge
Of the bunk, head in hands, still sob
bling.
His guards, who had been forbidden
to talk to him during the day-and-
night watch preceding the verdict,
we're freed from the order, but he had
nothing to say to them.
His iron nerve broke only after he
had heard the jury with tremulous
tones convict him of murder in the
first degree and the justice sentence
him to death.
1t broke only after he had left the
court room where his wife still sat, SO
motionless that she appeared afraid
to move. He almost had to be dragged
from the room, so far around had he
twisted for last glimpse of Anna.
Under State law he will be held
here at least until IL pm. Friday.
Then, 48 hours having expired since
the warrant for his removal was is
sued, he may be taken to the death
house at Trenton.
Sheriff Keeps Plans Secret.
The sheriff, who has three weeks
In which to deliver the prisoner to
the State prison, is keeping his plans
to himself
Not until Hauptmann is taken to
Trenton will he be permitted to see
his wife again. She had visited him
two or three times a week in the
county Jail, but this privilege has
been Cancelled now that he is a con-
demned man.
Brought into court under the glare
Of five big lights, Hauptmann showed
only too clearly the strain he had
been under. His face was chalk
colored and deeply etched.
But he was one of the calmest per-
sons in the room, noticeably calmer
than the jurors who had found it
their duty to send him to the electric
chair.
When the foreman suffered out the
verdict, Hauptmann Swayed slightly.
That was his only sign of recogni-
ton. When the jurors were polled,
one by one, he apparently heard none
Of them.
Twice he turned to nod to his wife.
Then came the sentence, Haupt-
mann's features still firm as steel.
Its all right" he said.

Cheers.

PENNINGTON. N. J., February IA.
Pennington felt the effects of an
emotional hangover" today.
CuStomsrily in bed at an early hour,
most of Pennington and no tncon-
siderable part Of Hunterdon County
stood and shivered before the Hunter
don County Court House last night to
await the verdict in Bruno Haupt-
mann's trial, and then talked it over
until the wee hours.
Tension Lets Down.
The tension let down around mid
night, but hours later there sounded
SnatcheS of song and excited talk.
Today, however, buSses and trains
began emptying the town Of its hun
dreds of visitors. Main street will be
back to normal tonight.
AS early as 10 am. yesterday Main
street began to fill. Not unlike Broad
way on an election night, Main street
echoded to unrestrained shouting and
semi-hystericalsgales of laughter. The
high-pitched hum of voices rose as a
background.
Commotion Heard Inside.
The voice of the crowd filtered
through the walls of the old court
house to the quiet, tense room within,
where man was standing for his life.
Those outside seemed to feel that
tenseness, and quiet came momentarily
as the news was awaited.
Then the word came-"Death."
A vast murmur rose from the
throng. Talk ratified like firecrackers.
The jury emerged. Cheers, a scat
tering Of booS and then the crowd
dlsntegrated in a clatter of small
talk and laughter. Soon the court
house space was empty of all but the
not-to-be-denied autograph seekers.

Athletics.
These were the names that drew the
largest number of votes. Naturally, no
ball player like Jimmy Fox of the
Athletics will be left out. Jimmy can
work at either first or third. Also, he
can work at the bat.
The pitching assignments brought
out the largest number of words. For
example, the records Of Gomez and
Rowe so far are well below many
others, but, for all that, both belong
in any all-star group.
