TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 10
UN.SO two new attorneys
suddenly added to defense staff,
Bruno Richard Hauptmann today
appeared ready to put up a TIRE
mendous 'last-ditch" fight for his
life.
Hauptmann is sentenced to die
in the electric chair at 8 p. m.
Friday, for the murder of Charles
A. Lindbergh, jr.
But with his defense lawyers
five of them Woodworking as
they have never worked before in
the case. and with Governor Har.

to be still "open," it appeared
likely the doomed man will not
walk ''the last mile" this week.
The new lawyers-both of them
from Washington, D. Care
Neil Burkinshaw and Nugent
Dodds.
C. Lloyd Fisher, chief of defense
counsel, announced that he had
retained them. He described
them as excellent lawyers and
well versed on constitutional law.
New Developments
While Fisher was giving this
news out in Trenton, rumorS of
sensational new developments in
the case began to pour in from all
directions.
It was reported a Chicago attor-
ney, Bernard M. Finnigan, who
flew to New York last night, has
a statement from one Of his
clients in prison in which the
prisoner asserted he could take the
attorneys to the place where $685.
900 in ransom bills was hidden.
He quoted the prisoner as saying
that the owners of the alleged
Lndbergh blood money vainly
tried to sell it at 40 cents on the
dollar.
While the Governor, who was in
New York this morning, fatty re-
fused to state precisely what his
intentions are in regard to a re-
prieve for Hauptmann, sources
close to him said he was determ-
ined to grant at least one 30-day
stay for the condemned slayer Of
the Lindbergh baby.
These same sources disclosed
that the governor will, if he feels
justified by the evidence he col.

mann one reprieve after another
until his remaining two years in
office have expired.

Battle Over Initiation
Secret maneuverings over cur

campaign for the compromise.
The House bill, authorizing cash
payment of the bonus. merely
postponed an inevitable battle
over expanding the currency. It
was apparent that If the House

INJUNCTION
DECISIONS
UPHELD
Ruling On Billion Held
In Treasury and On
AAAHeId Up


The Supreme Court today ruled
that 200 million dollars in AAA
processing taxes. now held in
escrow in lower Federal courts,
must be returned to professors.
At the same time the high court
failed to rule on conStitutionality
Of refund provisions under the
amended AAA, affecting the ques-
ton Of refundina 1000 million dol
lars in processing taxes already
collected by the Treasury.
In q second decision the high
court dismissed Q suit attacking
c6nstitutionality Of the Bankhead
cotton act on jtirisdictional
ground.
The high court failed to decide
the question of constitutionality
of the Tennessee Valley CTVA)
act.
The decision of the court
created unusual situations, which
can only be clarified by further
litigation.
High Government officials al
ready have concede that the
Bankhead Cotton act-first Roose-
welt law for compulsory control
of cotton acreage-is unconstitu-
tional in view of the AAA de-
ciSion last week.
Since the high court held that
it had no jurisdiction to decide
the issue in a suit by Lee Moor,
Texas cotton grower, however,
the Bankhead act-paradoxically
remains the law of the land.
Georgia Suit Awaits
The court may scrap the act,
however, in another suit institu-
ted by the State of Georgia,
whose governor, Eugene Tai
madge, is a foe of the Roosevelt
Administration.
In one sweeping statement in
the rice millerS case for refund
of 200 million dollars, Justice
Roberts, who decided the original
AAA case last Monday, disposed
of the amended AAA law. He
said:
"The changes made by the
amendatOry act Of August "a,
1885, do not cure the infirmi-
tiveS of the original act which
were the basis Of the decision
in the United States VS.. Butler
January 6, 1856. The exac-
ton still lacks the quality of a
true tax. 1t remains a means
for calculating the regulation
Of agricultural production, q
matter not within the power Of
Congress"
Government lawyers had &C.
cepted the far-reaching decision
in Hoosac Mills case last week as
diSpoSing Of any question OF con-
stitutionaliy Of the broad AAA pro-
visions.
Try to Protect Treasury
The chief purpose of Congress
in enacting the amended AAA at
the last session was to cure the
possible defects of the original act
on the question Of delegation of
power.
In an effort to forestall huge
losses to the Treasury in the event
the AAA scheme was declared I'm.
constitutional, Congress included
two provisions.
One prohibited Federal courts
from enjoining processing taxes.
In effect, the law said that process
sors must pay first and sue for
refund later.
About $500 injunctions against
collection of 5000 million dollars
of processing taxes were granted
by lower courts despite this pro-
vision of law.
