MY faith in my husband is I'M
faltering," she said. IT know that
he has passed away like Chris
tan who believes in his God and
his Savior. He has not passed out
of life as kidnaper or murderer
but as an honest man. I 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 at 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 find peace as long as they
have not condoned for the crime
and repented before man and be-
fore God.

investigation Of the Lindbergh kid

ton, William Conklin, his press aid,
said today.
The Governor announced that he
would ask Assemblyman John M.
kerner to introduce Monday night
resolution for an inquiry into all
phases of the handling Of the Lind
bergh case.
Hoffmans Office said Administra-
ZION support would be asked for
the resolution.
The original Kerner resolution,
which was not pressed to a vote,
provided for legislative committee
from both Houses to investigate
the case.
@. Lloyd Fisher, Hauptmann's
chief counsel, will claim his body at
the State Prison morgue today and
arrange for its cremation, probably
tomorrow, in New York City.
Wendell Still In Jail
But while Mr.. Fisher and Mrs.
Anna Hauptmann. seeking refuge
from the madness of the last few
days IN New York, arranged for a
private funeral, the political tangle
grew more battling.
Paul Wendell, former Trenton at
torney, still was in Mercer County
jail, held without bail, charged with
perpetrating the murder for which
Hauptmann was executed. He was
charged in Hunterdon County with
kidnapping the baby.
AT the same time Prosecutor.
William F. x. Geoghan of Kings
County (Brooklyn), intimated that
he Is preparing kidnapping charges
against several unnamed men
who, Wendell said, seized and tor
tured him in New York to obtain his
confession.
Mr.. Fisher, always convinced that
Hauptmann was innocent, an
nounced that Hauptmann's death
didn't close the Lindbergh case "by
a damn sight"
Early Test at Polls
Gov. Hoffman will have to test
public reaction to his attitude at
the polls in May primary in which
he is a candidate for election as a
delegate to the Republican national
convention. Six months ago he
was mentioned as vice presidential
even a presidential - candidate.
Now his friends are worried by fear
that he may not be elected to a
convention seat.
Atty. Gen. David T. Wilentz will
meet the same test as a candidate
for election as delegate to the Dem
ocratic convention.
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
whom Gov. Hoffman would certain
ly have deposed if he had proved
errors in conduct of the Lindbergh
case, may keep his job now but GER
tainly has in the Governor an irrec-
onilable enemy. Warden Mark
o. Kimberling, it is reported, was
Gov. Hoffman's choice to succeed
Col. Schwarzkopf. His future is in
doubt now with Col. Schwarzkopf's.
Lindberghs to Stay Abroad
The Lindberghs are in England,
exiled by the force of the Haupt-
mann case. Their plans never are
made public, but it was understood
that they probably will remain there
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 priv
acy as possible. Since Hauptmann's
body will be cremated, as he re-
1uested in his last few hours, there
probably will be only a short re-
ligious ceremony at mausoleum
crypt.
Hauptmann advised his wife to
remain in the United States, at least
for time. She did not reveal what
she planned
