N. J. GOVERNOR
SAVES BRUNO ON
EVE OF LAST DAY
Grants Reprieve Which Will
Mean At Least 60 Days
More To Live


Bruno Richard Hauptmann, con-
victed Lindbergh baby killer, was
saved temporarily from the electric
chair late Thursday by a 30-day re-
prieve from Governor Harold G..
Hoffman.
It came only 20 hours before the
hou: of execution.
81 am granting a reprieve," the
Governor said, "for divers reasons
which I do not care to disclose at
this time"
The reprieve, though only for 30
days, actually assures Hauptmann
of at least eight more weeks of life
and perhaps three months due to
the fact it will be necessary to re-
sentenced him.
Court Denies Plea
Governor Hoffman acted soon aft
er the United States Supreme
Court, in a one-sentence decision by
Chief Justice Hughes, denied, Haupt-
mans appeal for writ Of habeas
corpus and a stay of execution.
There will be only the one re-
prieve, unless the evidence should
warrant" another, the Governor
said. If Hauptmann is to be finally
saved it must be through the pre-
sentation of sufficient new evidence
to warrant Justice Thomas w.
Trenchard's granting request for
a new trial, or for a new plea for
clemency to the State pardons
court.
Hauptmann received work of his
new lease on life from two of his
attorneys-C. Lloyd Fisher and
Frederick A. Pope.
Pope quoted the condemned man
as saying, "Thank you," as his face
lighted up, and he asserted he was
"sure something would happen" to
prevent the execution. :,
The grapevine" carried the
news quickly throughout the big
prison.
Prisoners Set Up ClamOr
The inmates lifted their voices in
shouts:
"Hauptmann! Hauptmann!"
"Reprieve Reprieve Reprieve."
They beat upon the cell doors and
the noise spread swiftly from cell
block to cell block.
Finally it diminished and faded
out.
Old HOchmuch Appears
Amandus Hochmuth, the 87-year-
old man who put his hand on
Hauptmann's shoulder during the
Pennington trial and said, ''That is
the man I saw" in the vicinity of
on the day of the kidnap-
ing, created a stir during the after
noon when he appeared at the office
of the attorney general.
It was believed he might have
some last-minute statement to
make; but it turned out he came
here only to ask for ticket to wit
ness Hauptmann's execution.
Every arrangement had been
completed for the electrocution.
The executioner, Robert Elliott of
Long Island, New York, had been
notified to be here tomorrow after
noon. The equipment had been
carefully tested. Wires, telephones
and telegraph equipment had been
installed across from the prison
walls to speed news of the execu-
ton to the world.
Invitations had been issued to the
official witnesses. Mrs. Hauptmann
had said her goodbye-although
even then she refused to admit it
was goodbye and had spent most of
her visiting hour with her husband
in talking about their baby who
was carried to Trenton, N. j., dur
ing the night.

Timely Farm Questions Answered
At State College

Timely Farm Questions Answered
AT State College
Question: How should I select my
eggs for Matching this winter?
Answer: Eggs for Matching should
be clean, fresh, well-formed, of a
color that conforms to the breed re-
quirements, and should weigh "a
ounces to the dozen. Avoid all
round, short, or thin shelled eggs as
these eggs do not hatch well. Eggs
for Matching should be collected
two or three times day in cold
weather to prevent chilling. They
should then be stored in a cool, dry
place where the temperature does
not fall below 40 degrees nor rise
above 20 degrees. Where possible it
is also well to select eggs from high
producing birds as this characters
tic is hereditary.

Question: What grain ration
would you suggest for weaving
calf?
Answer: The amount of grain to
feed will depend upon the condition
ef%theac calf She should be- kept in
medium flesh and in good growing
condition. If grain has been fed
prior to weaving then this will have
to be increased to provide nutrients
to take the place of those formerly
furnished by the milk. However,
heifers need little, if any grain dur
ing the winter if they receive an
ample allowance of legume hay and
silage. When silaCe is fed give the
six-months old heifer only. about
six or seven pounds a day. Where
grain is fed, use from three to five
pounds day depending, of course,
upon the condition of the animal.

Question: Is it possible to corn
beef on the farm and how is it
done?
Answer: Cut the beef into five or
six pound chunks and rub with salt.
Then pack in a clean vessel of hard
wood or stone ware and cover with
a pickle made of one and one-half
pounds of salt, one once of saltpet-
er, one-quarter pound of sugar or
syrup, and one gallon of pure
water. The meat will be cured in
about two weeks, after which it can
be smoked lightly to improve the
flavor. If allowed to stand for some
time and dry out it is known as
dried beef. The rounds are usually
dried.

Indians, but Bucks relief pitchers
lacked what it took to protect the
leads, and under cloak OF darkness
Cleveland eventually won out, snapped
the Griffs' four-game winning streak,
and prevented them from becoming a
drst-division outfit.
Up in Philadelphia the rapidly
improving Athletics had knocked on
the fourth-place White Sox to give the
Nationals their opportunity to tie for
fourth place and to draw to within

Everything looked rosy until 1t became
