LIFE SENTENCE NOW SUGGESTED FOR HAUPTMANN
Chief of Detectives Sug- gests Commutation-
 Governor Silent

TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 20.--Crit- ics of Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, openly skept.cal concerning his new evidence" in the Lindbergh case, are watchfully waiting for him to show what he's got.
 Its up to the Governor to pro- duce," was the sentiment among those who sided with Attorney-Gen- eral David T. Wilentz in the belief that the Chief Executive hasn't got thing"
 Canny ones among the Cover nor's opponents are hesitant about voicing strong criticism, however, fearing the Governor might have something with which to strike back and confound them.
 The fate of Bruno Hauptmann, whatever issues may develop, rests upon the ability of his counsel or the Governor to produce new evil dence of such importance as to warrant either a new trial, commu- tation of sentence, or, conceivably complete pardon.

ASK LIFE IMPRISONMENT

MT. HOLLY, N. J., Jan. 20.- Ellis Parker, Chief of the Burling- ton county detectives, suggested that because of the uncertainty that prevails in this case" Haupt- mann's sentence be commuted to life Imprisonment.
 Society would not be injured and the ends of justice would be met" Parker said.
 Governor Hoffman's motive in granting Hauptmann's 30-day re- prieve, said Parker, was solely one of justice. Down in his heart the Governor feels sure that there is something wrong in this case. Star witnesses have since testified to things or given statements that were entirely contrary to their tes- timony at the trial" he declared.
