TRENTON, N. j.. October e.-New
Jerseys highest court condemned
Bruno Richard Hauptmann today TO
the electric chair.
BY unanimous decision. 13 members
of the Court of Errors and Appeals
upheld the Bronx carpenters convic-
ton by a Pennington jury last Feb
ruary Is for the murder OF little
Charles A. Lindbergh, jr.. March l.
1892.
The opinion, written by the veteran
Supreme Court Justice Charles w.
Parker, held that the six weeks trial
at Flemington last Winter was proper
ly conducted and that the weight Of
the circumstantial evidence pointed
directly to the verdict handed down
by the jury.
Ladder Evidence Upheld.
The opinion found nothing irregular
in the admission of the ladder as
evidence point on which the de-
fense had hammered through most Of
the trial. 1t denied the defense con-
tention that Hauptmann's constitu-
tional rights had been violated. that
Supreme Court Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard had improperly charged
the jury, and that the trial ought TO
have been held, not in HInterdon
County but in Mercer County. where
the body of the child, kidnapped the
night of March /, 1882. was found 10
weeks later in a shallow grave.
Hauptmann was not Immediately
informed of the decision.
The opinion overruled the defense
contentious that the trial was a
circus maximus," defended the right
of Col Charles A. Lindbergh to
attend daily and held that the sum-
nation Of Attorney General David T.
WilentZ was not, as the defense
charged in its appeal, infammatory.
1t held, further, that the State
adequately sustained its theory of
death and that the evidence held that
the baby died in Hunterdon County.
Three Courses Open.
The denial of a new trial leaves
Hauptmann with three courses open:
He may appeal to the Court of Par
dons of which Gov Hoffman and six
judges of the Court of Errors and Ap-
peals are members. They can only
commute his sentence to life imprison-
ment.
Appeals to this court are usually

ITALIAN ENVOY
PLANS TO GO
Massacre i'm Aduwa
Is Denied in
Capital.

Copyright, 1895. by the Associated Press)
Adds ABABA, october 9.-Ras
Seyoum, Ethiopian commander on the
northern front, reported early success
today in maneuvers of three Ethiopian
forces against the Italian right flank,
claiming capture of an Italian colonel
and 80 other officers.
The Ethiopian government fatty
denied the following reports: That
Ethiopians had invaded Eritrea, that
Italians were using poison gas. that
Ethiopians had surrounded Aduwa,
massacring the Italians; that Edga-
hamus had been captured and that
the war minister had left.
Another Ethiopian chief, Ras Kassa,
co-operated in the flank movement
with an army 10000 strong, Ras Sc
youm reported. marching toward the
Setit River on the border of Italy's
colony Of Eritrea.
Ayelu Moving North.
Dedjazmatch Ayelu, with a third
force, also was reported moving stead
lily to the north.
This capital, however, after a night
during which it was plunged into deep
est darkness as a precaution against
feared Italian air raids. received in
reports from the three battle fronts
only a blurred impression OF the gen.
eral situation.
One report credited Dedjazmatch
Halle Selassie, son-in-law of the EN-
peror, who commands the right wing
OF Ras Seyoum's army, with having
actually penetrated Eritrean territory
This, however, was regarded gener-
ally as a wild rumor, observers point
ing out that DedjaZmatch Halle Selas-
sic had only small force.
Plane Collision Reported.
Another report from the southern
front, near the border of Italian
Somaliland, said two Italian planes
collided while bombing Gerlogubi, in
Ogaden province. Details were un-
known.
There were no immediate fresh re-
ports from the central front around
Mount MuSsa Ali, in the corner formed
by the boundaries of Ethiopia, Eritrea
and French Somaliland.
Observers considered it not impos-
sible that marrying of the Fascist
forces on the northern front around
Aduwa had begun. Ethiopians be-
lieved the Italians would halt their
advance until their present position
was consolidated and their communi-
cations made secure.
1t was reported here that Ameri-
cans, whose names were not revealed,
have presented the Emperor with two
airplaneS which are soor to be sent
from New York. Under the Ameri-
can neutrality act, such shipments
are prohibited).
Contrary to the official announce
ment in Rome, the Ethiopian losses
in the northern zone are believed to
be small with the Ethiopian troops
maintaining a high morale.
On the Ogaden front it was re-
ported that only guerrilla fighting was
under way while Italian airplanes

Hen Neglects Nest
To Fight Off Cat
And Mother Kittens
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
LEONARDTOWN, Md, october
s.-Did you ever hear of q hen
adopting five young kittens and
kidnapping them from their mother
cat?
Well. that is just what hap
pened on the farm Of G. L.
Raley of Newtown Neck recently,
Raley's son Joe related here to-
day. He says he can prove the
story.
An old Plymouth Rock hen
stole her nest up in q large hay
loft and was setting up there.
Then along came the stork and
brought the farm cat five little
gray and white kittens just be-
side the hen and her nest. The
hen became so attached to the
kittens she wanted them herself.
She would drive the mother cat
away, Joe says, and try and keep
them warm under her feathers
and deserted her own nest full of
eggs. Only at feeding time would
the hen allow the mother cat to
have her kittens. It was quite
a fight over the kittens between
the hen and the mother cat
until the kittens got big enough
to care for themselves.

NEW YORK, October 9-Mrs. Anna
Hauptmann, wife of Bruno Richard
Hauptmann, was stunned today when
she learned that the New Jersey
Court of Errors and Appeals had
upheld the death sentence Of her
husband.
She was unable to talk for a mo-
ment when the Associated Press In
formed her Of the decision.
Then she said:
well, all we can do is carry on.
I don't know what will do now, but
Richard and I will continue to hope
in God.
II hope and pray that the true
facts will come out before they can do
anything to my poor man."
II saw him yesterday and he was so
cheerful. We didn't talk about the
appeal. We never talked about that,
but I could always see from his atti-
tude that he expected the court would
find him innocent and send him back
to me and the baby"
Mrs. Hauptmann has been living in
Bronx apartment with her son
Mannfried, now almost years old.
She declined offers Of friends to
stay with them tonight.
II want to be alone with my baby.
Tomorrow, perhaps, we can do some-
thing"
Mrs. Hauptmann said private in
vestigators are still working on the
Lindbergh kidnapping, for which her
husband has been sentenced to death.
If God so wills, they will solve this
mystery soon," she said.
Edward j. Reilly. Brooklyn attorney
who withdrew from the case after
heading the defense in Hauptmann's
Pennington trial, said he still thinks
Hauptmann is innocent.
Although the court has judicially
declared him guilty, I still believe
that he Is not guilty Of the murder"
Reilly said.
"I am convinced his present attor-
neys will carry the case higher.
IF at any time can be Of any
service to his cause" Reilly con-
tinued, IT am at the defendants
command"

rights the Constitution guaranteed
them.
Indicting the present administra-
ton, he urged States executives at
tending the twenty-seventh annual
Governors conference to work for a
balanced Federal budget, for decreased
taxation and for perpetuation Of the
Constitution.
Nice asserted that although N r. A.
codes were invalidated by the Su-
preme Courts decision, the States
could legally" accomplish the intent
Of the codes.
The invalidation of N. r. A. left
the Governors, Nice said, with the
problem of correcting "the error of at
tempting to do illegally that which
ito a large extent) can and should
be done legally-that is: BY the States
themselves.
Capital must not be Handicapped
snd labors rights must be safe
guarded
But (politics aside) what,State lacks
the power to deal fairly with these
questions-if 1t really wants to?
I'VE must, moreover. realize before
it is too late, the danger of the ever
