BODY OF BRUNO
 TO BE CREMATED
(Continued from Page l.)

Continued from Page 1) Norman Schwarzkopf, Prison War den Mark O. Kimberling, the Rev. David Werner, formerly of the Seventh Day Adventist church-not to mention the Lindbergh family and their relatives and household servants.
 Hoffman Tests Reaction Governor Hoffman, who believed that Hauptmann was wronged, will have to test public reaction to his attitude at the polls in a May pri- mary in which he .s candidate for election as delegate to the repub- lican national convention. Six months ago he was mentioned as @ -presidential-even a presiden- tial-candidate Now his friends are worried by fear that he may not be elected to convention seat. Wilentz will meet the same test as a candidate for election as dele- gate to the democratic convention.
 Schwarzkopf, whom Hoffman would certainly have deposed If he had proved errors in conduct of the Lindbergh case, may keep his job now but certainly has in the gov- ernor an irreconcilable enemy. Kim berling, 1t was reported, was Hoff- mans choice to succeed Schwarz- kopf. His future is in doubt now with Schwarzkopfs.
 Werner was unfrocked by his de- nomination Wednesday for declaring in a magazine article that he be- lieved Hauptmann innocent.
 Lindberghs Exiled
 The Lindberghs are in England, exiled by the furore of the Haupt- man case. Their plans never are made public, but 1t was understood that they probably will remain there a long time.
 Hauptmann's own personal record was the only element with definite end. Mrs. Hauptmann had not made funeral arrangements, but she was expected to seek as much privacy as possible. Since Hauptmann's body will be cremated, as he requested In his last few hours, there prob ably will be only short religious ceremony at mausoleum crypt.
 Hauptmann advised his wife to remain 1 l the United States at least for time She did not reveal what she planned.

light on several occasions.
 There was the appearance at the trial of Charles DeBisschop as a defense witness, and of Carlson, a former Waterburian. Then there was brought out the fact that Hauptman had stayed in Woodbury for a while a few years ago, stop ping on his way to Canada. And during the last anxious days, there were the reports that agents of Governor Hoffman were working in the vicinity of Waterbury.
 But already the discussion is starting to fade slowly, and soon, Hauptmann will be only 8 memory. And soon, too, the case itself will be only in the recesses of memory, unless, as Hoffman's supporters claim, some day more facts will be known that will shed new light on the life and death of Bruno Rich ard Hauptmann.

places. First from the sponge on Hauptmann's ankle. Then from the helmet. Just thin little wisps of smoke that disappeared before they got to the ceiling.
 "Wiesler was the name Of the doctor who walked over to the chair--Dr. Howard Wiesler, the prison physician. Elliott pulled aside the leather strap and looked at Hauptmanns eyes. Then he opened the undershirt and the heavy flannel one.
 This Man Is Dead
 Wiesler put his stethoscope on Hauptmann's chest. Then he stepped back and five other doctors did the same thing. Wiesler repeated his examinatoin. He didn't turn around to face the witnesses; he didn't raise his voice. He just said: This man is dead" Kimberling glanced at his fancy clock. He said: Eight forty-seven and a half"
 -Four guards"-they were the ones who took Hauptmann's body cut of the chair. They didn't use stretcher. They just carried him through back door into the morgue.
 That's all the notes had.

1 spongeS into a wooden bucket f1lleo with brine. Then he walked over to the chair. He had laid 8 board across the arms of the chair and 1 into the board were fitted electric bulbs. He was going to test the current. He spun big wheel in 8 panel back of the chair, and the bulbs turned yellow. Elliott turned off the current.
 Kimberling Speech
 Speech made it. He walked up to the canvas bar rier and talked to the witnesses. q want everybody to button his coat, he said. "If you want to get pen cil and paper out, do 1t now. I've told my guards not to let anybody reach into his pocket"
 Kimberling turned to 8 prison of ficial and said:
 Before you bring him in, you'd better go back up to center anc see if there's a phone call for us.
 The man left to find out whether there was any chance that Haupt- mann had received a reprieve. He hadn't, and the man came back.
 Kimberling handed his clock to 8 guard.
 Your clocks two minutes toe fast, colonel" somebody yelled al him. T set 1t by Western Union upstairs" Kimberling said.
 80 did we," said half a dozen witnesses.
 Kimberling set the clock back two minutes.
 Minister First Through
 "Matthiesen"-he was the first one through the door leading from the death house--the Rev. John Matthiesen, a Lutheran minister who is Hauptmann's spiritual ad- visord. He is bald. He wore @ pail of steel trimmed glasses that were about to fall off his nose. He was reading something in German. We found out later it was the 23rd Psalm. The one that starts "The Lord is my shepherd ." The Rev. John Goorley was the next person I saw. He's the prison chap lain.
 "White"-thats what I wrote down for Hauptmann's face. His skull was white, too. They had clipped his hair awfully close. He had on a heavy gray Shirt-looked like flannel. Under it was a white cot ton undershirt. His pants were brown. They had slit the right leg all the way up to the knee so they could fasten the electrode. A guard had grasp on each arm, but they weren't needed. Hauptmann was walking by himself. About two feet from the electric chair the guards let go of his arms. He walked the rest of the way by himself and sat down. His arms were resting on his legs. The man has funny eyes. They don't blink, and once my eyes con- nected with his. He stared me down and l looked over at Elliott. The old man was fumbling with the leather helmet he was going to put on Hauptmann's head. He almost dropped it.
 Hauptmann Looks Up Hauptmann tiled his head up anc looked at him. Elliott clamped ths helmet on and drew a strap across Hauptmann's eyes. Matthiesen stil was reading German. I didn't set Elliott move back toward the vince in the wall but he must have donl 1t, because the next thing I knev Hauptmann came slamming uT against the straps that held him ir the chair. Then looked at Elliott The old man didn't turn around I heard n growing sound whicf must have been the current going through.

 There they told us to line ur in column of twos. There was a long wait. I remember somebody yelled: T hope he doesn't start talk ing German if he confesses when he sees the chair" We checked up and found that only one witness un- derstood and spoke German. No- body knew his name. He was 8 chunky little fellow with gray hair"
 "Kimberling"-Warden Mark O. Kimberling came into the center at 8:14 D. m. He had on a brown topcoat, a brown hat and was chew ing a cigar. A guard tore open a package and handed something to Kimberling. Nobody could tell al first what 1t was. Kimberling turned 1t over in his hand. It was a clock A very fancy clock, square and made out of green and yellow enamel Kimberling put it under his arm and walked over to the line of wit nesses.
 Kimberling Was Nervous
 Kimberling's face was serious. He was perspirlng.
 I've heard lot of rumors," he said, that somebody is going to try to take picture in there to- night. I'm going to have to have everybody searched again at the door of the electrocution room. If anybody objects to being searched again, he can leave now"
 He stopped there for a minute, waiting for an answer. Nobody said anything.
 T also hear" Kimberling contin- ued, that somebody may try to pull a fast one. I mean they may try to make a demonstration in there or yell at Hauptmann. want to get this one thing straight-if anybody talks to Hauptmann I'll do it. Nobody-newspapermen, police or anybody else will take prece- dence over me. I'm sure no one wants to be accused of taking pie ture in there so I want everybody to remain seated during the execu- tion."
 His Next Page
 Those were the last words I wrote on that page. The next page started off:
 Dining room"-The witnesses were marching now. We went through the prison dining room. It had long, empty benches. Then we were out in the air, going across the prison court yard to the exc cution chamber.
 "Search"-They stopped us again at the door of the execution cham Der. They went through coat pock- cts, felt shoes, looked at pencils examined cigarette packages. A guard said to a witness: You haven't got a pint under your hat have you?"
 If I did have" the man replied it wouldn't be under my hat"
 "Canvas"-There was @ strip oi 1t, about knee high, separating the electric chair from the place where the witnesses sat.

 Bruno is dead" the reporter said. There were 10 seconds of silence. s'What will become of my little M0nnfried," asked Mrs. Hauptmann slowly, in almost her normal voice. Then she screamed.
 She screamed.
 "Why did they kill him? |. What did he do?"
 Then she sobbed-hoarse, throat tearing sobs. She clenched her fists and beat the bed in agony. Her eyes were red and swollen and tears poured steadily down cheeks.
 Mrs. Hauptmann pushed herself off the bed, wailing unintelligibly. She tottered and her Solicitous friends rushed to her.
 You can'tp she screamed, her eyes glazed. "Yon can'tl You can't! Please go away"
 She ran unsteadily across the room into the bathroom, slammed tho door and locked it.

 No Answer Came
 The friends pleaded. Minutes passed and there was no answer, no sound beyond the locked door. Sev- eral were close to tears. All were afraid. Before the news arrived, they had taken the glass and towels from the room. Nevertheless, one of her friends sent downstairs for the clerk.
 The clerk came up to try master key. It didn't work.
 At that moment Rev. John Mat thiesen, who had walked with Hauptmann to the chair, came rap- idly down the corridor. He spoke softly through the bath room door in German. A few minutes later Mrs. Hauptmann, her blonde hair straggly, came out. But more quietly. Fifteen minutes later she had composed herself enough to write Q statement ito the world.
 Statement To World
 It read:
 My faith in my husband is un- faltering," she said. T know that he has passed away like 8 Chris tan who believes in his God and his Saviour. He has not passed out of life as a kidnaper or murderer but as an honest man. feel not ashamed but proud of him. I know the truth will be known and that his innocence will come to light. Therefore I can rest assured and be ct peace with my God.
 Even at this time I know that the murderers who have put him as an innocent man to death will never Ind peace as long as they have not condoned for the crime and repented before man and before God.
 They have taken from me my faithful husband and a loving father from my child"
 Pushed Crowd Away
 Four uniformed police soon after ward pushed the crowd out of the corridor.
 Boon she emerged, wearing the brown and white checked suit and dark furpiece she first wore to "please Richard" little more than a week ago. She went to Bronx bor- ough where two year old Mannfried waited for her.

 As she left the hotel, Q newsboy ran up.

Today as the derby went into the
final phase, four women appeared
tied for the honors. The terms of
the will stated that the births must
be registered with the vital statis-
tics bureau and that all babies with
seven months of life in the embryo
must be registered. Mrs. Bagnato's
unborn child, therefore, places her
in tie with Mrs. Matthew Kenny,
Mrs. John Nagle. and Mrs. Arthur
Timlock for first place.
The courts probably will have
trouble designating the winner.
Mrs. Kenny insists that she has
borne IL children in the past ten
years. There is some dispute
whether they are eligible. She
claims three unregistered children
since 1926. Francis Lillian Kenny,
registered with the government in
1928, was not one child, but twins,
the mother said.
