wood from the Hauptmann attic. In addition, Reyes said, new facts had been developed about the circunl- stances surrounding the crime.
 Asked why this supposed evidence had not been produced in the va- rious court hearings the investi- gator said:
 T believe it will be produced ct the proper time. Of course there is still much to be done to recon- struct the crime and rid the picture of the distortions created by tlA, New Jersey state police.
 T would not say now that Haupt- mann can be shown to have been innocent of extortion but am abe solutely certain that he had noth- ing to do with the Kidnapping and death of that baby.
 T have been interested in this ease from the beginning. At first |t was active as free lance on bee half of the Lindberghs. After Hauptmann's arrest and the devel- opment of the states case against him I became convinced he was not guilty.
 Hochmuth Blind
 "There Is CT, affidavit which de- clares that Amandus Hochmuth, the old man who testified that he had , seen Hauptmann skid around c corner on the road near the Lind- bergh house, was virtually blind al for " lk as 1880. He applied fot an V.a' age pension in New York state, although c resident of New Jersey, and the physician's examin- ation showed he had advanced ca- taract of the eye.
 "As for Willard Whited we have interesting information about him But we can't locate him. We may have hard time locating Hoch- muth, the. way things go in thii case"
 Whited testified that he sew Hauptmann near the Lindbergh home before the Kidnapping.
 As for the testimony of the wood expert, Reyes said he believed Koehler had given Q true version of his research but that he had reached his conclusion on the bayii of lumber substituted in the origin. al ladder by unnamed persons.
 Reyes said that flor obvious req. sons' he could not disclose his new evidence on this point.

 Today Mrs. Hauptmann sees her husband for the last time, unless Hoffman does intervene. This is strictly according to prison rules, which say that relatives of the con- demned eanot be admitted to the death house on the day of execution. But the rule fltted into the psycho- logical test Of the prisoner. Mrs. HauptInAnn had brought their baby to Trenton. 1f she doesn't take young Manfred Into the prison, she will carry in his picture. After she leaves, Hauptmann ewill have the prospect Of 90 lonely hours and then death. If anything will crack the condemned mans gritty composure, prison authorities believed this
 Hoffman e Decide
 While this drama intensified the atmosphere In the death house, Hoff- man was At the Capitol making hlg decision. With the approach of tho execution, his mail has greatly inc creased and among the letters have been several from persons "conS fessing" or telling of other persons who "confessed." The most plausible have been studied and investigated carefully by Hoffman and police, So fer, oil those investigated have proven fakes.
 All have been checked ct . huge cost and without result, but still others are on file, being checked or studied, and # Hoffman grants c re-. prieve, 1t probably will he on the basis of the contents of one of them.
 But these rlaeneuvers were fer away from convict iTAO0 sitting close to the bars of Q death cell deep be. hind tho old red stone walls of the state prison.
 To Hauptmann, the court battles have meant merely the occasional appearance of his lawyers, dashing into the death house, calling guards to roll away the heavy screen bee fore his cell, thrusting through the bars Q sheaf of papers and Q foun. tain pen with which he scrAwls his name.
 He Wants Real News
 Only when his minister or his wife visit him, does he get c distant glimpse of the court battle outside. Even then his interest Is academic. What he wants to sec is the tall, mild.mannered Kimberling Striding down the corridor with news from Hoffman.
 For that reason, the silent treat- ment" has been c test of his nerves. Kimborling's daily visits to his cell had lent strength to his courage. Then suddenly, that strength was withdrawn.
 Hauptmann has given only the

action favorable to Hauptmarn in any event was regarded as remote The court is always reluctant to 1n- tervene in criminal cases.
 When Moneys lawyers sought their habeas corpus proceedings, they invoked an almost forgotten form oi procedure.
 The court took 1t under advise- ment and, ultimately, ruled that Mooney, because he had no insti- tuted original habeas corpus pro- oeedings in the highest court of his state, could not invoke the supreme courts power.
 In Hauptmann's case, no writ of habeas corpus proceedings have been carried through the state courts.
 An appeal from the unfavorable lower federal court decision might better serve the purpose of the law yers. Tn that case they would simply file papers with the court clerk. In the ordinary routine the papers could not be acted on before Mon- day.
 The court could act sooner. how. ever, if the papers were called to its attention. Legal strategy probably hasten action, particularly if they would impel the lawyers not to believed Hoffman might stay the execution.
 New York, Jan. l6-(UP)--De- fense counsel of Bruno Richard Hauptmann has In It's possession new evidence completely shattering the case on which the German car- penter was convicted Of the kidnap- ping and murder of the Lindbergh baby, Harold 0. Reyes, former chief of the defense investigation stan, said today.
 He predicted that Gov. Harold c. Hoffman would sign c reprieve.
 "The facts in the possession of Governor Hoffman are such," he said that I do not see how he could do otherwise"
 Reyes, 6 former secret service agent, has been Investigating inde- pendently since he quit the defense because they didn't seem willing to finance an adequate inquiry" He said evidence was available discred- iting the testimony of four of the most important prosecution wit- neSseS.

Tomorrow Ho May Die
 Trenton, V. J., Jan. 1o--(UP)--To- morrow Bruno Richard HauptmanYl is scheduled to die and today the intensified glare of the Llndbergh tragedy that has engrcssed the world since March, 1o32, beat on the one man able to save him. Governor Harold o. Hoffman of New Jersey.
 Will Hoffman save Hauptnann? The capital seethed with rumor as it has not since the mad March and April of 1e32 when the world prayed for the safety of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., then believed alive in captivity. No naAn knew but HoR- man, but his continued silence and his professed indecision indicated to many who know him that he would take lest minute action.
 Silence Treatment
 Meanwhile, authorities subjected the taciturn German carpenter Co the cruel 'silence' treatment, laop- ing to break his iron nerve and ob- tain Q confession. Hoffman and Prison Warden Mark o. Kimberling put him to searching psychological test by leaving him strictly alone.
 Two of his Attorneys-Neil Burkin. shaw and J. Nugent Dodds--hAd left for Washington and were ex- pected to ask Justice Owen J. Rob- erts of the supreme court already for 0 writ of habeas corpus today. Since the supreme court already hes re- fused to review Hauptrnann's con. viction, hope for Roberts interven- ton was slender, indeed. Only one other court offered the possibility of aid-Judge Thomas W. Trenchard, who presided ct his original trial and could hear an application for . new trial on Q basis Of new evidence. Aid from there also was considered unlikely.
 Kept Away from Him
 Since Saturday Warden Kimber. ling has not visited HAuptmann once, though previously he had talked to him once 0 dey. For four days, while Hauptmann has felt time carrying him irrevocably into the embrace of the chair, no otflciAl has shown the slightest interest in him. If he is.ever to change his story, it was believed that with but more sunrise, he would Do mast likely to talk under Q policy of silence.
 The chair was ready, tested and certified to Do in working order. To. morrow the barber slaves his head, La keeper sits his trousers leg to make Q place for the electrode. The hopelessness and helplessness that must be making itself felt in the tiny death cell was manifest outside tho prison. The optimism of his attor- neys seemed forced, and even his pale, blonde wife, Anna, seemed con- fused and lost. Hfie wanted to make c personal appeal to Hoffman, she said, but did not know how or where.
 Pressure on Governor

grets Federati0n's Stand
on Red Controversy.

Expressing regrets that the fedora

munism in the District public schools,
d the Forest Hills Citizens Association
last night voted confidence In the

disapproving the prohibition OF IN
structing students on the form OF gov
ernment of foreign countries. The
group met in the Ben Murch School.
The efforts of the federation to pre-
vent the teaching of false doctrines
and improper propaganda was ap-
proved by the unit, but the resolution
stated that the action recommended
BY the federation will be injurious
and hurtful to our public school sys-
TEN and will lower the prestige of the
federation" Mrs. Wilbur La Roe, Jr..
chairman of the Committee on Schools
and author of the resolution, said that
measure was based on the fact that
there has never been single COM
plant. either from pupil or parent,
that communistic doctrines have been
taught or advocated in public schools.
Mrs. La Roe, in urging the group to
approve the resolution, said: Il think
they have been making a mountain
out of a molehill, and SO much talk
about the matter has been whettlng
the appetites of children to learn more
about communism"
