SKELETON NEAR
 SMITH COLLEGE
May Be That of Alice Cor bett Who Disappeared
 Back in 1925

Northampton, Mass, March 30- (UP)--Discovery of the skeleton of a woman in shallow grave here to- day caused state police to ask Bos- ton police for description of Miss Alice Corbett of Utica, N. Y, Smith college student who vanished m Fri. day the 18th in November, 1923. and never has been heard from since State police emphasized there was notning definitely pointing 10 the Likelihood that the skeleton was that of Miss Corbett, but they said this theory would be investigated because the shallow grave was only 2 l-2 miles east of Smith College.
 Miss Smiths Body Found
 The body of Miss Frances St. John Smith of New York, another Smith college student who disappeared on Friday the 18th in January. 1923. subsequently, was recovered from the Connecticut river near Deans Land. ing at Londmeadow.
 Discovery of the skeleton today was made by two Northampton men while walking through the recently flooded Rainbow section of the city. In a gully beside a little used coun- try lane, they saw skull, and search of the vicinity revealed several bones, indicated, police said, that flood wa ters had washed the skeleton from it's grave by the roadside.
 Skull Was Intact
 The men notified authorities and Medical-Examiner Thomas H. Cor riden and two companions went to the scene, and with shovels, uncov- cred more bone fragments and discharged shotgun shell. The skull was intact. Dr. Corridor hoped 1t might be possible to establish iden- tity through the teeth. Several buttons, apparently from a woman's coat, also were found and it was be- lieved these also might help solve the case. Dr. Corridor said the skel- eton had been in the ground flor several years"

Adolf Hitler Triun,phant
 .n Election Held Sunday

This was claimed as a world rec ord. Of the people of 20 years or more entitled" to vote-Jews were excluded-98.95 per cent went to the polls. They were asked to put in the single circle on the ballot cross signifying their approval of the un- opposed Nazi party ticket for the reichstag membership. There was no place for an opposing vote. All an opponent of Hitler could do was to leave the ballot blank or-even more daringly-scrayl a "nein" on 1t or otherwise deface 1t.
 The electorate was regimented as never before even in Germany. People who were on the doubtful list were visited by Nazis who of- fered to escort" them to the polls. Frau Fritz Pasch. living in a Ber- lin suburb. gave birth to a son at 8:l5 a. m. yesterday and daugh- ter at 8:30. At 10 she voted. Yet despite this pressure on voters. no doubt was left that Germans vindi- cated Fuehrer Hitlers statement that the country was behind him in his foreign policy.
 Hitler got 93.5 per cent of the vote in the last reichstag election in November. 1888. after his with drawal from the League Os Nations.

 Copyright, 1886. by United Press, Berlin, March 3O-CUP)-Fueherr Adolf Hitler, triumphant in one of the most remarkable elections ever held, faced the Locarno powers with increased confidence today as he prepared to offer them proposals for eternal" peace. More registered voters recorded their approval of Hitler's foreign policies in yester- days reichstag election than there are men, women and children in all France. It was indicated strongly that this backing by his country men and women would be reflected in his proposals for settlement of the Rhieland problem with which Joa- chim von Ribbentrop, his special ambassador, is expected to fly to London tomorrow.
 These proposals, 1t was forecast, will present to Great Britain. France. Belgium and Italy broad plan for consolidation of European peace on a firm, permanent base. But 1t was forecast also that Hitler will be even less inclined now to accept any terms to which he will not be able io point with pride to Germans.

 Reed said this was within the dis cretionary power of court in such proceedings.
 Sugar Case
 Washington, March (UP)-- The Sugar Institute, Inc, governing between 70 and 30 per cent of cane sugar refining in the United States, was held by the supreme court today to have violated the antitrust laws in the "code of ethics" it adopted in 1928 to eliminate destructive" trade practices.
 The court ruled, however, that the institute should be granted several notifications of the decree of Judge Julian w. Mack in New York city who found that the code exceeded tke limits of the antitrust laws.

 Evidence Is Weighed
 Purported new evidence in the case, the alleged confessions of two men-Paul Wendell and Gaston B. Means-that they committed the crime and attacks upon the evidence and witnesses at the Hauptmann trial were weighed by the men who make up a court of last resort for the condemned man.
 Hauptmann waited in Cell No. g for a visit-perhaps probably the last-by his wife, Anna, who will carry the boards decision to the state prison death house.
 Principal Keeper Mark O. Kim berling of the state prison. was among the officials who waited the decision in the anteroom.
 The doors of the hearing room remained closed at the end of over three hours of argument. Neither Attorney General Wilentz nor De- fense Counsel Fisher had emerged. No one, except the messenger from WilentZs office had entered since the court met at 11:15 a. Tn.
 A long afternoon session was in- dicated when the clerk sent out for sandwiches for the court. Presun- ably they intended to continue until a decision is reached.
 Another Wendell RumOr
 A source close to recent develop ments reported that the Wendell phase of the case involved charges that Wendell had Lindbergh ransom money in his possession, but this was denied by County Prosecutor Erwin Marshall and by Chief of County Detectives James s. Kirk ham, who filed the murder charge against Wendell.
 Kirkham said that he had "in- formation" which justified the murder charge in addition to the purported confession which Wendell later repudiated. He refused, how ever, to discuss his asserted infor- nation.
 He said that when the charge before the grand jury he would give the jury his evidence. -
 Marshall said that the Wendell case would not come before the grand jury tomorrow as had been expected.
 Assemblyman John M. Kerner said there was no intention of re- viving in the legislature last weeks resolution for an investigation of the entire proceedings leading up to Hauptmann's conviction.
 At 3:l5 p. m., four hours after the session began. the court of pardons and all officials who had been before 1t or waiting in an anteroom were still locked behind the doors.

day" Today was the first time Hicks produced any thing purport- ing to show that Fisch-from whom Bruno Richard Hauptmann says he received the Lindbergh ransom-ac- tually visited Cuba. Heretofore, the contention has been that Fisch merely wrote a letter to Havana. in- quiring about distribution of "hot" money in Cuba. F'isch died in Ger many, in poverty.
 Did Write Letter
 Hicks contended that in addition to the visit, Fisch did write such a letter.
 He said he got in touch with Dr. Israel Castellanos Gonzales, Cuban criminologist, and asked him to make a preliminary investigation in an attempt to determine the au- thenticity of the Fisch letter.
 He said he received a report from Gonzales. who said things look good" and asked him (Hicks) to make a personal visit to Cuba. He went there early this month and met Detective Caivo. who has been Investigating all angles of the Lind bergh case in Cuba.
 Hicks took to Cuba one Of the rare specimens of Fisch's handwrit- ing. Dr. Arturo Gonzales Alfonso. physician. told Hicks he had seen a letter signed "Isiflor Fisch" asking about the possibility of distributing marked American currency and pleading for "an immediate reply" This letter was shown 10 Alfonso by an "unIdentlfled. mlddle-aged der- man" who is now being sought. This, too. was in the fall of lo32.

Court or Pardons Ls
 Still h Argument
Continued from Page D

The wife of the convicted mur- derer of the Lindbergh baby stepped from taxicab and was admitted to the prison while the court of pardons sitting few blocks away in the state house-debated whether her husband should die in the electric chair tomorrow night.
 Mrs. Hauptmann showed little trace of nervousness.
 Her spring hat of soft brown felt was crushed against her pale hair at justt the proper angle. Her suit was of bright brown and white checks as cheerful as the sunlight against the prison walls.
 The steel of her bearing matched the stoic demeanor of her husband as he waited in death house cell No 9 for the decision of the pardons court.
 Only the wistfulness of the sad smile she forced to her face as she went up the prison steps gave any hint of Anna Hauptmann's thoughts as she went to say goodbye and to tell her husband that she still be- lieved he would be spared from death in the electric chair.
 Prison officials said that it would be Mrs. Hauptmann's last visit. She will not be permitted to see her hus- band again unless the eternal word that anything can happen in the Lindbergh case" comes true.

 Trenton, March 30-(UP)-Bruno Richard Hauptmann, with death only hours away, has turned toward religion and forgiven" the men who prosecuted him. It was learned to- day that under the guidance of his spiritual adviser, Rev. John Mat thiesen, the condemned slayer is now engrossed in prayer. His atti- tude is in contrast to that at the Bennington trial in January, 1885, when he spent his time reading wild west and detective stories. The change has been gradual. Haupt- mann still is not what might be termed deeply religious but Mat thiesen's kindly teachings have brought him back to the Lutheran faith of his fathers.
 Clcasned His Heart
 The minister, whose confidence in Hauptmann's innocence Is unswerv- ing. recalled the occasion when the German carpenter "cleansed his heart" of feeling against Attorney General David Wilentz and other members of the prosecution. "One day he said to me-" Matthiesen re- lated Hast night I could not sleep "Then I said: Some people count shep. some people count up to 100 and back again, but you, Richard, repeat the Lords Prayer. Stop at every petition and think about it. And you will find a great burden will leave your soul.'
 Prays for Wilentz
 When I went to see Richard again he told me I was right. He said: When I came to the petition forgive us our trespasses and those who trespass against us--I became very intimate with God. lay on my cot and said: oh God. Here is Wilentz. You know if there is any hatred in his heart-take 1t away. And if there is any hatred in my heart against him--take it away, too.' He told me after that he was able to sleep peacefully. I cannot help thinking he is man of good character" When Matthiesen first entered the case several months ago he persuaded Hauptmann to pray with him every time he visited the death house. Later Hauptmann be- gan to pray at night by himself.

Harold c. Hoffman, said today in an exclusive interview with the United Press. Hicks for the first time revealed details of his re- cent visit to Cuba.
