urged that the aged Bronx pedagogue
be closely questioned again.
DR.. Condor has agreed to answer
the Governors questions provided the
Governor comes to see him at his
Bronx home-an invitation which the
Governor as yet has not accepted.
The battle of statements touched of
by the Governors blast yesterday and
carried on by Prosecutor Hauck's
equally strong retort, was to be carried
on today with formal statement by
Attorney General Wilentz. Few con-
sidered it likely that the attorney gen.
eral, although disagreeing, would enter
the lists against Hoffman, believing he
would prefer to let the Governor play
out the string.
There was good chance, however,
that Wilentz might take occasion to
defend himself against the implied
slur upon his conduct of the prosecu-
ton of Hauptmann which the Gov
ernor made when he said the Flem-
ington trial ''reeked with unfairness,
passion and prejudice"
In the death house, the 39-year- -old
prisoner remained optimistic, express
ing the firm conviction that some
thing is going to happen" to prevent
his execution.
But despite all the excitement and
talk, plans went forward for the exc
cution. Mrs. Anna Hauptmann. the
prisoners wife, planned to see him
again today. Unless his execution is
delayed. it will be her next to last
chance to see him alive for she will
not be permitted to visit the death
house either tomorrow or Tuesday.
The authorities gave no credence to
report, published yesterday, that a
Trenton man had confessed the Lind
bergh kidnapping. Most of them de-
clined to dignity the report with even
a denial.
Likewise, reports that Hauptmann
had made change in his story of how
he obtained the ransom money found
in his possession. were thrown down
both by Gov Hoffman and by Warden
Mark o. Kimberling at the State
prison.

McCarl Ruling Given Public
Printer-Finances Payable
From Current Year Funds.

Employees of the Government Print
ing Office are entitled to sick leave as
of January /, last, Controller General
McCarl held in decision given today
to the Public Printer.
The question had been raised be-
cause the G. p o. appropriation for
the fiscal year 1896 did not specify any
allowance for sick leave payments and
1t was feared the leave might not start
until July /, when the Office begins to
operate under its appropriation for
1887.
The controller general held. however,
that the retroactive provision of the
law would enable its financing under
the appropriation for the current year.
He said, also, that those employees who
were absent without pay because of
sickness between January l and March
IA, when the leave bill became law.
could be reimbursed for the accumu-
lated leave due them for that period
namely. at the rate of one and one
quarter days per month.

the first time in the rs years of its

verdict which makes the death penalty
mandatory.
Defense Attorney Richard Bowman

On the stand, Jordan repudiated
signed confessions he had made to
police and denied participation in the
robbery and murder of April 3. 1881.
Jordan and Miss Edith Dodsworth, a
former waitress at the restaurant.
were jointly indicted after Jordan
himself reopened the investigation last
Spring by writing to United States
Attorney Leslie c. Garnett from Mount
Vernon, N. Y. The letter explained
that Jordan wished to get married, but
first wanted to know If he had been
cleared of suspicion In the four-year-
old case.
Jordan's arrest and confessions fol-
lowed. The Dodsworth woman Is still
being sought by police.
Jordan told in his signed statements
how the robbery was accomplished by
an unidentified man, Miss Dodsworth
and himself.
The Government claimed Jordan re-
opened the case because he was plagued
by his conscience and believed he could
never escape the Ill luck which had
beset him since the crime unless he

who reprieved a condemned man even
though the 90-day period following
conviction-the legal period in which
a reprieve may be granted under the

Gov. Hoffman called upon the attor-
