 Trenton, N. J., April 3.-(UP).- Bruno Richard Hauptmann's head was shaved again today to receive the electrodes of death at 8 D. m.

 Pastor Werner Fired
 New York, April 3.-(UP)-The Rev. D. c. Werner, one of Bruno Richard Hauptmanns two spiritual advisors, has been busted as min- ister of the Seventh Day Adventist church because of his declaration of belief in the Hauptmann's inno- cence.
 The announcement was confirmed by the Rev. w. H. Heckman, presi- cent of the Greater New York Con- ference of Seventh Day Adventists.
 While the denomination approves the action of any of its ministers acting as spiritual adviser to con- victed men," Heckman said, "the Conference does not approve declar- ations by the ministers as to the guilt or innocence of the men,"
 Werner made his declaration in Q magazine article. He was. selected by Hauptmann as his spiritual ad- wiser and has been assisted in this capacity by the Rev. J. Matthiesen, Trenton Lutheran minister.
 Werner is @ naturalized citizen and was born in Germany. He has been pastor of the New York Ger man church of the Seventh Day hdventists.
 Justice Trenchard Affected
 Trenton, N. J., April 3.-UP)- The prolonged dispute over the fate of Bruno Richard Hauptmann has affected the health of Justice Thomas W. Trenchard who pre- sided at his Bennington trial.
 Dr. Harry Williams, Trenchards physician, said today that "the strain of the last two or three days has surely taxed his strength. It has taken a great deal out of him. "
 Trenchard, one of the most re- spected of New Jerseys jurists, is 72. He has been recuperating for two months from a neck gland in- lection. Williams intimated that de- velopments in the Hauptmann case has prolonged his convalescence.
 Trenchard twice has sentenced Hauptmann to death. If events prevent Hauptmann's execution this week, he'll pronounce the death sen- tence third time.
 Foreign Papers Comment
 Madrid, April 3. (UP)-Spanish newspapers commented bitterly to- day on the Hauptmann case.
 Informaciones said: "Out of hu- man respect and courtesy to our public we refuse to give publicity to the terrifying details of the ex- ecution. We shall omit all that sig nifies morbid exultation of sensa- tionalism or curiosity for spectacles.
 Politca asked as regards "The scandalous affair."" whether Haupt- mann would be executed tonight or the "ghastly joke of postponement' would continue.
 Tt is repulsive spectacle that Is being offered" Fl Socialista said. There is something worse than the barbarous deed of coldly killing a man, and that is prolongation of the agony. It would not be strange If. when 1t is decided to kill Haupt- mann, he will have died already of anxiety"
