 "Hauptmann dies as crazy mob gambles on his chance of life," said the headline of the Daily Mirror.
 The Mirrors news story started:
 After torturing Bruno Richard Hauptmann for months, American justice strapped him to the death chair"
 Lady Muriel Derek Jones, daugh- ter of the seventh Duke of Rich mond and Gordon, wrote to the Mir TOT:
 Thank God live in civilized country! shall never understand why country considering itself the last word in civilization can allow cruelty to ,perpetrate, under the cloak of the law, such exquisite tor ture as that of Hauptmann.
 Calls It Cowardly
 Treatment of human beings by savages cannot surpass the wicked cowardly treatment of this man and should think every Christian man and woman in the world would raise their voices in abhorrence of this so called American justice.'"
 Those who convicted and tor tured him run the closest race with murderers themselves"
 There were many similar bitter criticisms.
 The highly conservative Times gave the entire story ten lines in a minor news column. The headline was execution of Hauptmann."
 Headlines Tell Story Most of the newspapers, however, gave the story much space in late editions. Headlines showed the feeling:
 Daily Telegraph Hauptmann executed 14 months after sentence.
 Daily Express-Hauptman n Ex- ecuted at last.
 Morning Post-Penalty paid four years after crime.
 Daily Mail-No confessions; no word; seven paces to death with a smile.
 Daily Sketch-Hauptmann dies silent.
 The sketch and telegraph featur- ed Hauptmann's stolidity.
 If ever a man earned the title The Man With Ice in His Veins. Hauptmann did" said the sketch Trenton correspondent.
 The Daily Mail voiced the thought of many Britons:
 Everybody knows that the grisly story which began four years and B days ago has not really ended"
 Betty Cow Guarded
 Glasgow, Scotland, April 4-fUP) Betty Cow. who was nurse to Char les A. Lindbergh, Jr., was asleep at the home of her mother early to- day when Bruno Richard Haupt- man died.
 In past days, Miss Cow has spent all the time she could at home. She is employed at local shop during the day-using an assumed name to avoid publicity. Usually in the evening she dances or goes to the movies with a boy friend"
 Since Tuesday, when she first thought Hauptmann would die, Miss Cow has cancelled all her dates. Each night she read while and then went to bed early.
 Sick of It All
 Betty is sick of the whole case," a sister said. All she wants is to sec 1t ended. She wants peace and quiet to carry on her normal life. She is sorry for Hauptmann as one human being to another. That is all she will say about the case.
 There have been so many ups and downs in connection with the Lindbergh case that we have all tried to stop worrying-except that we want to see justice done"
 During the last days of Haupt- mann's life, the Cow home has been under close guard by neighbor men, who take turns as sentries, to guard her against intruders and questioners.
 Is Hidden Away
 The notoriety which has sur rounded her since the start of the Lindbergh case has made Miss Cow shy of speaking to anyone. As soon as she learned that Hauptmann finally was to die she asked that no one she did not know be per- 'mitted to see her either at home or at her place of work. A special code of signal knocks was arranged for friends and authorized visitors calling at the home. No one would answer the door unless the letter box was rattled sharply three times. The door bell was disconnected. pEFEASANT CRAsFEEg LIBRARY
