The story is told by the wife of one
of the Districts prominent lawyers

self. 1t seems that recently he was
playing a hard game around the
nineteenth" golf hole at Chevy Chase
Club.
The game" was prolonged and very
dutifully he phoned his wife that he
would be little late for dinner. She
became a bit suspicious, but decided
to be good sport about it. After all
her husband probably needed some
relaxation after long day at the
office.
He finally arrived home, and taking
his seat at the dinner table began to
tell about his game.
"Pshay," he broke out. I'VE had a
terrible experience. In driving up to
the club we almost ran over a spanish
cockeral."
His wife was puzzled and said she
had never heard Of spanish cockeral.
Why" he explained, ut is little
dog, about so high"
"You mean a cocker spaniel" his
wife vouchsafed.

LONDON, Jan. 15.-Rudyard Kip

desperate illness today that he
reused not only the admiration of
his attendants at Middlesex Hospi-

Seventy years old, stricken sud-

alarmingly soon after midnight. DR..
A. E. Webb johnson, his surgeon,
fastened to the hospital intending
to spend the night at his side.
Kipling rallied. He went to sleep
at 3 a. M, and remained asleep al
most continuously. Webb-J johnson
thought it safe to leave him. Though
his condition still was desperate. a
hospital official was able to an
nounce at a. M:
I'VE have hopes that Mr.. Kip
ling may recover. since he is max

1t was disclosed that peritonitis
set in. Kipling suffered perforat-
ed gastric ulcer. His condition was
so grave when he was taken to hos
pital Monday that DR.. Webb-J john

STATE TO CARRY
SECURITY LOAD
Proposed Bill Asks 40 Per
Cent From Counties,
go From Indiana.

Decision to lift part of the social
security burden from the counties
by assuming an additional 10 per
cent of the joint state-county cost,
has been reached by state officials.
Under the existing state old-age
pension plan the state has matched
the amounts paid by the various
boards of county commissioners. 1t
had been assumed that the state
and counties would continue under
the Federal social security program
to split the outlay, which in turn
would oe matched by the Federal
government to establish maximum
$30-a- month pension.
A social security bill, being pre-
pared for the probable special SEES
sion Of the Legislature, calls for the
state to assume so per cent of the
cost and the counties 10 per cent.
If this PLAN is put through the
estimated $9,150,000 cost for old-age
and children's aid would cost the
state $5,490,0O0 and the counties
S3.660,000.
Blind pension financing would be
done jointly by the state and Fed

TRENTON, N. j., Jan. 15.-The

ard Hauptmann is sentenced to die
Friday night was tested today.
The apparatus was tested while
Mrs. Anna Hauptmanr, wife of the
Lindbergh baby kidnaper, was visit
ing in the death house with her
condemned husband. His cell is
only 30 feet from the execution
chamber.
Hauptmann, with but SIS hours to
live unless Gov. Harold Hoffman
grants reprieve, has not been told
that his plea for writ of habeas
corpus was denied by United States
Circuit Court Judge j. Warren
Davis.
y didn't tell him about the court
action" Mrs. Hauptmann said aft
er she had visited her husband for
30 minutes. He doesn't know it
yet"
He was calm and confident he
will not die Friday. He told me that
he was certain the state would never
take an innocent mans life
Doesn't Want to See Son
Mrs. Hauptmarn asked if Bruno
wanted to see their son, Mannfried.
He told me he didn't want to see
the baby in that place because he
didn't belong there. He said he
would be outside to see him, for ne
is an innocent man"
Mrs. Hauptmann tried to smile as
she talked.
HE asked me to take picture OF
Mannfried in his sailor suit and
send it to him. You know Richard
gave our baby the navy blue sailor
suit for Christmas. 1t was under
the tree on Christmas morning and
it was a surprise. He had ordered
it through Mr.. Fisher, the at
torney"
Just before Mrs. HaupsinaIln was
taken to the death house for her
visit, Neil Burkinshaw and Nugent
Dodds, the two Washington at
torneys called in by the defense,
visited Hauptmann for few
rNinutes. 1t was understood they
had Hauptmann sign a new legal
document for submission to the
United States Supreme Court.
Will Appeal to Hoffman
Mrs. Hauptmann said she thought
she would make personal plea to
Gov. Hoffman for a reprieve.
Col. Mark O. Kimberling, princi-
pal keeper of the New Jersey State
Prison, said that Mrs. Hauptmann
would be allowed only one more
visit. That will be tomorrow. No
relatives or friends can visit con-
demned man the day he is to die.
Col, Kimberling said that the cleo
trio chair was tested and that every
part had worked properly.
"Hauptmann is in good spirits,
normal and is eating regularly" Mr..
Kimberling said. There was nothing
significant in the fact he had not
visited Hauptmann since last Satur-
day when the state Court of Par
dons rejected his plea for clemency,
he added.
1t was understood. however that
the principal keeper was staying
