is nothing remaining except to i'm
pose the sentences provided by the
statute, and I am now asking the at
torney general /. he moves the SEN
| tence."
Wilentz, pale, moistened his lips.
IF your honor please, the State
moves for the sentence of the defend
ant at this time"
Justice Trenchard asked for the
indictment and 1t was handed to him.
THE statute requires, apparently,
that the court shall fix time within
which the sentence is to be executed
and within certain week, which must
begin not less than four weeks and
not more than eight weeks after the
issue of the (death) warrant" he OBJ
served.
Bruno Asked to Stand.
THE court will therefore now pro-
ceed to impose the sentence.
THE defendant may stand"
Again Hauptmann got to his feet
and faced the bench. The handouts
on his wrist-flrst time since the
trial started January 2-glinted in
the artificial light.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann, you
have been convicted of murder in the
first degree"
His vocie was kindly, fatherly.
THE sentence Of the court Is that
you, the said Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann, suffer death at the time and
place and in the manner provided by
law. And the court will hand to the
sheriff warrant appointing the week
beginning Monday, the 18th day of
March. 1885. as the week within
such sentence must be executed in the
manner provided by law.
You are now remanded to the Gus
tody of the sheriff"
1t was shaken, restless Hauptmann
who nervously paced his cell in the
Hunterdon County Jail today.
Death Cell Is Ready.
At the State Prison in Trenton a
cell in the death house was ready for
him. He will be kept here until to-
morrow, then be whisked quietly to
the State capital
Mrs. Hauptmann, frequent caller at
the Jail, must wait until he is in the
penitentiary to see her husband again.
| Further visitors at F1emington have
been banned, but the guards who have
kept Hauptmann under ceaseless
watch since he was brought here may
! converse with him for the first time
Daubing at her tears, Mrs. Haupt-
mann's last words as she left the
/ courthouse through rear door last
night were:
Il am not afraid I still hope"
They were words which came hard
Only the reaSSllrances of Fisher. one
of her husbands lawyers, made them
possible.
Sees Nothing Left"
There is nothing left for me-" she
had said before Fisher, an arm around
her shoulders, promised to "see this
thing through"
BE brave" he gently told the
woman who has been Hauptmann's
stanchest ally, who took the stand
as his chief alibi witness
From the court house Mrs. Haunt
mann returned to her temporary
quarters, where her year old son,
Mannfried, awaited her
Col. Lindbergh did not hear the
sentencing Of the man convicted of
killing his first-born son. Il was the
only session of the trial he missed.
Nor would he comment. At the
Morrow home in Englewood, whence
he and Mrs. Lindbergh have been
sheltering their second son, Jon, it
was said the flyer had mo statement
nor comment on the case whatsoever"
Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow, mother of
Anne Lindbergh, and other members
Of the family who had gathered at
Englewood also declined to discuss the
case.
So did DR.. j. F. Condor, the "Jaf-
sic" who paid s50,000 of Col. Lind
bergh's money to a man who promised
to return the kidnapped infant. That
man, DR.. Condor testified, was Haupt-
mann.
Wilentz Praises Jury.
Attorney General Wilentz praised
the eight men and four women on
the jury.
THE tremendous responsibility i'm
posed on Hunterdon County was
shouldered without fiinching," said
the dapper prosecution chief. 1.-THE
nation is indebted to these courageous
men and women"
Wilentz also paid tribute to the
New Jersey State police and to New
York and Federal officers for weaving
the net of evidence that bound
Hauptmann.
Defense counsel expressed conf
dence in eventual victory.
There is no limit to the extent to
which we intend pressing this case.
We shall take it to the highest court
of the country, the United States Su-
preme Court, if necessary" said Reilly.
I'VE believe that we shall be able
to secure an ultimate reversal of the
judgment
Il had hoped for and expected an
acquittal," said Egbert Rosecrans.
But I have little doubt but that the
judgment can be successfully ap-
pealed."
Rosecrans pointed out that, since it
was a matter of life or death to the
36-year-old defendant, the State was
expected to pay the cost of the appeal.
Had Hauptmann received a prison
term the State would be under no
obligation to aid him.
Defense Staff Meets.
Despite the late hour. the defense
