WHAT HOFFMAN
 THINKS OF CASE

Boston. Jan. 23--(UP) P)--Qovernor Harold c. Hoffman of New Jersey believes the entire world regards the Lindbergh Kidnapping case "as yardstick with which to measure the dimensions of American jus- tice."
 He so stated In . letter dated Jan. IS and received by Alphonye 2. Chaskel of Dorchesters who had written the governor about the case.
 T believe that human life is sacred and that those who take 1t should be punished" wrote Hoff- man. who recently granted Bruno Richard HauptInann c reprievc.
 "It Is my sincere wish, however. that every question that has been raised in connection with this case should be definitely and positively cleared Up before the final chapter is written. for I believe that the en- tire world will regard this case as . yardstick with which to measure the dimensions of American justice. A reprieve is an act of executive ciemcncy, and ! believe that I am justified by ample precedent and reason,
 "Regardless Of the outcome. or Of the consequences to myself, ! shall not regret any action have taken in following the dictates of my con- science and in responding to my own sense Of duty"
