Losing Strength,
Doctor SAYS

TRENTON, N. j., April 3
q. N. s.. - Sensational develop
ments of the last few days in the
Hauptmann case have told heavily
on Supreme Court Justice Thomas
w. Trenchard, who presided over
the condemned mans trial at
Pennington and twice has set a
date for his execution.
Justice Trenchard is 70 years of
age. He was recuperating from a
neck gland infection which kept
him confined to his home during
much of the last two months, but
the strain of the last weeks activ-
tiles is said to have weakened him
considerably. His physician, DR..
Harry Williams, said today:
"The strain of the past two or
three days has surely taxed his
strength. 1t has taken a great
deal out of him."
Justice Trenchard on Tuesday
was called upon to hear an appli-
cation by C. Lloyd Fisher and
Frederick Pope, Btuno's attorneys,
for stay of execution. The appli-
cation was based upon the now re-
pudiated confession of Paul H.
Wendell, diSbarred Trenton attor-
ney, who was charged with the
crime for which Hauptmann was
sentenced to die. Judge Trenchard
denied the plea.

AT DOOM
Confidence Husband
Would Escape Chair
Broken by Jury

TRENTON, N. j., April 3 GIN.
SIN the early hours of today,
Anna Hauptmann, the woman who
has never lost faith, heard once
more the sad news that her huS-
band must die; that all hope was
gone.
She pulled the door of her hotel
room partly open to hear that
the Mercer county grand jury had
made her husbands execution al
most inevitable tonight by refus-
ing to indict Paul Wendell for the
murder of the Lindbergh baby.
She stood there, ghostlike in her
paleneSS, SWaying unSteadily, as
though she heard but could not
comprehend what was being said.
Then she let out an agonized
wall, exclaiming:
Zach, mein Richard, mein
leibe Richard! Ach, Colt! How
can they do dis"
Mechanically she pushed the
door shut and stumbled backward
into the room.
Those who had brought her the
sad tidingS stood in the corridor
as anguished sobs vibrated through
the heavy oaken door of the room.
Only a few hours earlier she had
been so confident.
Yesterday when she talked with
Bruno in his cell, they had assured
each other it was "auf wiedersehn'
and not goodbye"
