ard Hanptmann:
81 have had IS very intimate and
soul-Searching interviews with Bruno
Richard Hauptmann and am con-
vinced that he tells the truth. II
Hauptmann would have had a. sren-
able defense lawyer at the outstart,
and if he would have asked Yor an
interpreter during the trial, the very
evidence used against him should have
spoken in his favor. Hauptmann felt
no need for them until it was too late.
After careful study of this case, have
come to that conclusion.
First know Hauptmann as he
really is, and his wife, Anna, and then
study the evidence; and you will ar
rive at the same conclusion. Haupt-
mann does not fit into the frame.

of his wife, but I want to see justice
prevail in this case I would ask for
the supreme penalty if Hauptmann
were guilty. My creed has no objection
to that. There is nothing else in my
mind than this: That l may serve

sole interest is Ito make sure justice
is done" professed to know nothing
in advance of what the defense would
present at the Pardon Court hearing.
He said he understood affidavits by
persons who had marched across the

in an effort to show new evidence"
These were rumored to be signed by:

tended reported conference of de-

Fisher arrived few minutes before
the scheduled time of the hearing.
He was carrying two heavy brief cases
and in one of those, it was believed,
he probably had the affidavits which
he will present in attempting to con-
vince the court there is new evidence
in the case.
Judge Joseph A. Dear, one of the

room. He said he had been instructed
to keep himself available for a pos
sible call before the court.
The court convened at 10:37 and
organized, counsel and others remain
ing in an ante-chamber nearby.
Pope said he did not think defense
counsel would make further request
that the court hear Hauptmann per-
sonally.
"If the court wants to see him. it
can adjourn to prison." he said.
Gov. Hoffman has our request for
his appearance and I presume he will
advise other members of it"
He referred to the letter written to
Hoffman by Hauptmann and delivered
by Fisher, in which the condemned
man said he had nothing new" to tell,
but would be glad to appear and an
Swer questions.
Hoffman has already said that he
doubted the court would go to the
prison to hear Hauptmann, and that
he would leave it entirely in the hands
of the majority of the court. He de-
clined to force the issue of Haupt-
manns personal pleas when he called
the court session at the State house.
If he had wished he could have called
it for the prison.
A few minutes after the court con-
vened it called the following before
it: WilentZ, Hauck. Kimberling,
Schwarzkopf, Fisher, Pope and Rose

Meeting Place Changed.
A little later the court moved its
deliberations to the Court of Errors
and Appeals in the new court house
building adjoining the State house.
Albert B. Hermann, clerk of the
Court Of Pardons. said the move was
made because of the noise"
The first definite information con-
corning the strategy of the defense
was given by Fisher when he said he
might seek to convince the court that
a gang" was responsible for the
crime.
To bear this out, he said he had an
affidavit from John Hughes Curtiss,
Norfolk, Va, boat builder. convicted
at Pennington of obstructing justice
during the early investigation of the
kidnapping.
In this affidavit, Fisher said, Curtiss
set forth that a gang of seven, with

H0EPPELS FREE,
PENDING APPEAL
Representative and Son
Sentenced to From Four
Months to Year.

Representative John H. Hoeppel OF
California and his son, Charles j.
Hoeppel, who were convicted In DIS
trict Supreme Court several weeks
ago of conspiring to sell g. West Point
appointment for $1,000, were SEN
fenced late yesterday by Justice Dam
iel w. ODonoghue to imprisonment
of for four months to one year.
Sentence was imposed Immediately
after Justice OyDonoghue denied mo-
ton for a new trial and in arrest OF
Judgment. He admitted each OF the
defendants to $1,000 bail, pending
appeal.
Both received the sentence without
trace of emotion, although a few
minutes earlier the Representative had
wept as his attorney argued the motion
for a new trial. The maximum prison
term that could have been imposed
was two years.
Question Of Law Involved.
In permitting them to 60 free until
the Appellate Court can review the
case, the judge said he thought there
was a substantial question OF law in
volved. He pointed out that, if COM
mitted to Jail, the Hoeppels might
serve more than their minimum sem
tence while waiting for final de-
cision.
In a surprise move near the end
of the all-day hearing, Samuel L.
King brother of the Senator from
ott
ants, introduced an affidavit by Mrs.
Marie K. Haynes, one of the trial
jurors, stating that the conviction
did not represent her true verdict.
She stated illness lowered her mental
resistance so she was unable to op-
pose those of the jurors who argued
for conviction.
Assistant United States Attorney
David A. Pine argued that the ver-
dict could not be impeached for such
a reason.
Held Not Public Office.
Another point made by King was
that the statute under which the
prosecution was conducted was con-
cerned only with the making of ap-
pointmentS to public Offices, and that
a cadetship at the Military Academy
was not a public office.
He also argued that Pine acted in
a manner calculated to prejudice the
jury when he called the elder Hoop
pei "a monumental liar and per-
jurer of the first water"
Pine explained his statement was
made only after defense counsel had
said it would be necessary for the
jurors to find that Representative
Hoeppel lied in the court room for
them to convict him."
Hoeppel and his son were con-
victed last month of conspiring to sell
a West Point nomination to James w.
Ives of Baltimore. Ives, a 1892 Olym-
pic games athlete and former Johns
Hopkins University student, testified
at the trial he gave the younger
Hoeppel $1,000 promissory note in
return for the nomination. He. sub
sequently resigned without having
entered the Academy.

SAID today, despite the fact that a
notice had been sent to c. e. Bailey
on Feb. 20 that his license had been

this sentence be allowed to stand and
that it be not revoked for one yeas.
On February 20, Director Fulk of the
highway safety division replied that
the law made it mandatory for the
license of any driver convicted of
drunken driving for one year and
that accordingly the license of G. E.
Bailey had been revoked for one year.
The case was believed closed at that
time until Bailey was again arrested
and tried for drunken driving Sept
l, the department here notified and
the discovery made that Bailey had
never surrendered his license. 1t was
not until then, also, that it was dis
covered that c. E. Bailey and st. Clair
E. Bailey were. one and the same
man.
1t was pointed out here today that
while Bailey was acquitted of the sec
ond drunken driving charge on Sept.
1, that he could still be charged with
driving while his license was revok-
ed, since the records show that he
cannot legally drive an automobile

TENDER 3, Highway Patrolman l.. B
Lane of Elizabeth City, was ordered
to call on Bailey and take up his driv-
ing license. Patrolman Lane did this
and the license was received here
Thursday morning.
The Bailey case came into promi-
hence as the result of a second trial
OF Bailey on a charge of drunken driv-
ing in Elizabeth City on Sept. 1. when
he was acquitted. At this trial it was
brought out that Bailey had been
tried and convicted of drunken driv-
ing IN February, and that as a result
ne was also driving without a license
when he was arrested for drunken
driving August Is. But it is reported
that his counsel maintained he had
permit to drive again in less than
II months and that this permit had
oeen granted by the highway safety
division of the Department of Rev
enue. This permit was never actually
shown, however.
When a report on Bailey's second
trial, even though he was acquitted
was received by the highway safety
DIVISION mere, orders were immediate
ly issued to Patrolman Lane in Eliz-
abeth City to take up his license. The
reason the license had not been taken
up before was that the name was

The impression they give is that

The A. F. of LIS policy is one of
