Three Shoe ks Snuff Out Life of Slayer of Lind-

TRENTON, N. J. April 4.-Bruno Richard Hauptmann, German car penter, was put to death last night in the electric chair in the New Jersey State Prison for the kidnap- murder of Charles August Lind- bergh, Jr., baby son of Col and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh.
 Hauptmann was taken into the death chamber at 8:41 o'clock, Eas- tern Standard Time, placed in the chair at 8:41 l-2 o'clock and pro- nounced dead at 8:47 1-2 o'clock Capt. Mark O. Kimberling, prison warden, said Hauptmann made no confession. He did not speak word after leaving the death cell for the death chamber.
 Execution Delayed
 The execution was set for 8 o'clock last night but was delayed for wit nesses. Shortly before $40 o'clock, the death walk started from the death cell to the death chamber. Entering the death chamber, his arms held closely to his sides by guards and hair shaven. Hauptmann appeared to have a slight sheer on his face as he was led to the chair.
 He walked with quick, light steps, his face pale and he appeared only slightly nervous. He was led to the chair by two guards.
 Bruno Silent
 Hauptmann uttered no word af- ter entering the death chamber.
 One Bruno stared at the 55 wit nesses who crowded into the little chamber with it's dirty white walls.
 Hauptmann was quickly placed in the electric chair. Executioner Robert H. Gleason slipped the death helmet over Hauptmann's head, while guards fastened straps to arms and legs to make contact with the electric current
 At 8:43 o'clock, Elliott, official ex- ecutioner, gave Hauptmann the first shock. Two more shocks followed at minute intervals and then Elliott threw off the current.
 Man Is Dead"
 Dr. Howard Wesiler, prison phys ician, announced, after six physi- clans had examined Hauptmann twice.
 This man is dead"
 After the execution the straps were quickly loosened, two guards took Hauptmann by the legs and two others by the shoulders and car ried the body into the autopsy room.
 A few witnesses, sickened at the sight of the execution, were helped out of the chamber by guards.
 ReprieUe Denied
 That the execution would be car ried out was indicated early in the evening when Gov Harold G. Hoff- mann said he had no authority to grant further reprieye.
 During the execution, the Rev John Mattlesen, Hauptmann's spir-

 Condition Sound

The City of Juneau has spent for emergency relief and in other ways $34, ,130 above the ordinary cost of government the last 12 months ending March 31 and now stands within $6,500 of being even with the board, it was revealed last night by Mayor I.

While the figures were available, the formal submission of the annual report was put over. until the next meeting to allow City Clerk A. w.

 Police Report
 Chief of Police Roy Hoffman in presenting his report said there had been 487 arrests during the twelve months period and fines amounted to S2,564.
