GUILTY Of MURDER.
Prisoners Calm Breaks; He
Weeps in Cell After
Hearing Sentence.
BY w. C. WEBER

7 LEXINGTON, N J. = Richard
r. Bruno Hauptmann must die in
= the electric chair. A jury of his
peers has found him guilty of murder
in the first degree without recommen-
dalton of mercy, thus ending the most
sensational trial of modern history, and
the cold, std German carpenter must
forfeit his life for that of the golden
haired Lindbergh baby he is convicted
of having murdered after kidnapping the
child on the night of March 1, 1882.
Although Justice Thomas w. Trench
ard Immediately sentenced the defend
ant to die during the week of March
IS, it is possible that this may be de-
layed. Attorney Edward ]. Reilly for
the defense announced that an appeal
would be taken and it is almost certain
that this will stay the execution until
late in May.
The four women and eight men max
ing up the jury left the courtroom at
11:14 o'clock in the morning. Hour
after hour passed with rumors flying
verywhere-"eleven to one for convic-
tion''-"a deadlocked jury'-"holding
out for acquittal" At 10 20 in the eve
ming the bell on the Hunterdon county
courthouse begins tolling, the sound
carrying far out over the Jersey hills.
The mob massed in front of the court
house starts yelling.
Hauptmann is led in. He talks to
one of his lawyers for few minutes.
Evidently the strain of waiting for the
verdict is beginning to tell on him as
his face is damp with perspiration. His
wife, the faithful AnE, whose belief
in her husbands innocence has never
wavered, comes in and takes a seat
near him. They exchange no words.
Hauptmann sits staring straight ahead.
Then the jury enters through the Ii
brary door and takes its place in the
jury box. The verdict is evident from
the expressions on the Jurors faces.
The women are all red-eyed with weep
ing. They sit and wait. Edward Reil-
ly stands nervously smoothing his hair
with his band-his opponent, Attorney
General WilentZ, whose vigorous pros
ecution of this trial, has aroused the
admiration of veteran criminal lawyers
everywhere, PAGES up and down as they
wait for the judge.
Then the room becomes curiously
still. The clerk calls the roll of the
jury and the jurors stand in. the box,
and Hauptmann is ordered to stand

"Mr. Foreman, have you agreed upon
a verdict?"

committed by the defendant In perpe-
trating burglary it is murder in the
first degree, even though the killing
was unintentional."
The court added:
"If there is reasonable doubt that
the murder was committed by the de-
PENDANT in perpetrating burglary. he
must be acquitted.
IF you find the defendant guilty Of
murder in the first degree you may, If
you see fit, by your verdict and as a
part thereof. recommend imprisonment
at hard labor for life"
An important point brought up in
the charge was the place of murder.
The court charged the jury that it
might conclude the baby's sleeping gar

cracked. Faced with the grim reality
of the death penalty, he sat on the
edge of his hard iron cot and wept.
His iron will had stood the strain as
long as it could.
Even the. mob bowling its approval
of the death sentence would have felt
sympathy for Ami Hauptmann the
plain. haggard woman, as she sat there
motionless while the jurors intoned:
Guilty of murder in the first de-
gree"
The woman who chung to her hus-
band when all the world seemed to
accuse him of this most horrible of
crimes, the woman who had worked in
a bakery even after her husband had
thousands of dollars of ransom money
in his possession, who knew nothing of
his ill-gotten hoard, kept her eyes
straight ahead as the verdict was an
nounced. Her eyes were fixed only on
her husband as he went through the
door on the Journey that will finally
lead TO the grim death chamber Of
Trenton prison. Then only did the
tears of relief come.
Neither Colonel Lindbergh nor the
members of his family were in the
courtroom as the death sentence was
passed. A close friend of the family
explained that after the judge had read
his charge TO the jury. Lindbergh felt
that he had done everything possible.
and that there was nothing to be
gained by his presence. The family
awaited the verdict at the home of
Mrs. Lindbergh's mother, and news was
phoned them direct from Pennington
Little hope was felt for Haupt-
manns acquittal after Justice Tren-
chard's charge to the jury was read.
The Justice told the jurors they could
return three possible verdicts-murder
in the first degree, the same with rec
ommendation of life Imprisonment or
acquittal. .
Brief and to the point, the final
charge paid particular attention to the
disputed reliability of the important
state witnesses, DIR. John F.J"Jafsie"
Condor and Amandus Hochmuth, and
to the defense theories that gang per-
petrated the kidnapping and that the
dead Isidor Fisch gave Hauptmann the
ransom money.
On the states important ladder evil
dence, the. court. asked the jurors:
"Does not the evidence satisfy you
that at least q part of the wood from

The liquid test
...it ENDS bowel worries
for many people

This is test that tells you whether
the system needs a cdthdrtic change.
If you have constant sluggish spells
or bilious attacks, and laxatives seem
to make things worse, it would be
wise to try this:
Stop all use of any laxative that
does not encourage variation from a
fixed dose" (Which may be entirely
too large a dose for your individual
need. Use instead, a liquid laxative
that you can measure and regulate
as to dose. AS necessary to repeat,
take smaller doses, less and less often,
until the bowels are moving without
any help at all.
Doctors use liquid laxatives, and
a properly prepared liquid laxative,
containing natural laxative agents
like SIENNA and cascara is a Joy and
a comfort; a real help in establishing
regularity. Ask your doctor about
thisi doctors use liquid laxatives.)
You can get DR.. Caldwell's Syrup

liquid laxative, at any drug store.

Com plete modernizatiOn of the San Francisco shipbuilding and steel fabricating plant will be begun immediately, he said. The Pot rero plant will be equipped to build as well as repair modern ships. Bethlehem properties in Los Angeles and Seattle also will be affected. The company has contracts for the construc- ton of two Navy destroyers, which will be built at the San Francisco yards. Volume of trade, Grace said, may yet over come the handicap of cost diff ferential between East and West.
