 for Q review of the reprieve. Tn sup- port of that request he will cite tho case of Edward clifford, convicted in ieo0 of killing railroad super intendent.
 No Power Over 90 Days The issue of the governors power of reprieve came up in the clifford case, according to tho United Press informant. The unanimous ruling of the state supreme court was thAt the governor had no power to reprieve beyond 90 days after conviction in the lower court.
 Hauptmann was convicted on Feb- ruary i3, io3b. Therefore, under the ruling In the Clifford case, Hoffman had no power to reprieve Haupt- mann after May B, 1895. Wilents made no attempt to chal- lenge the first yeprieve In the courts, although he warned Hoffman that he considered 1t to Do illegal. On his arrival In New Jersey earlier this week, however, the attorney general said he would not consent to fur- ther reprieves and would oppose them In the courts, if necessary. Out of today's Perth Amboy cons ference is expected to come Q defi- nite decision on whether to utilize this legal weapon.
 Hoffman Keeps On
 Hoffman continued his attack on the states case against Hauptmann. He released part of the secret inter- view he held with Willard Whited, prosecution witness, lest Saturday. It also was learned the governor would attempt to prove that the lad- der found outside the Lindbergh nursery was c "frame-up" against Haupttnailn.
 It was reported in New York that Q violet.ray process tended to bear out Hoffman's contention about the ladder. This process, 1t was said, proves that nail holes in "raii ie" of the ladder--the board that allegedly came from Hauptman's attic-were driven long after Hauptman's or. rest. Dr. E. M. Hudson, defense flngorprint expert, said he had knowledge that such Q process ex- isted, but that he had not mads tho test on "rail 10" nor had any of his equipment been used for that pur- pose.

 Police Are Accused
 They believe that their findings = which plainly translated are c charge that police cut the board from the attic of Hauptmann's home and nailed 1t into the kidnap ladder may win him Q new trial.
 Hoffman refused to comment on tho evidence they had accumulated It was recalled with new signifi- canoe that he made Q point of tak- ing the ladder before the New Jer- sey pardons court six weeks ago When it heard, and refused, Haupt- 1l1ann's plea for communication of his death sentence. The point was not then apparent, for the courts hear- Ing was secret. Apparently his in- vestigators had not then completed their tests.
 Governor Reveals Transcript
 The governor made public for the first time last night part of the transcript of Q secret interview he held with Whited last Saturday. Whited testified that he sew Haupt. mann near the Lindbergh estate ct Hopewell. ". J., shortly before the kidtaping. He told police prev. iougly that he had seen no one there and could not help identify the kid. naper. He told the governor Sat- tlrday, with c. Lloyd Fisher of Haliptmann's counsel and Prosecu. tor Anthony M. Hauck of Fleming. ton interpolating questions that police had promised him . third of the S25,000 reward offered for con. viction of the kidnaper, and that they had paid him approximately efbn expenses" during his attends aneo at extradition hearings and the trial.
 shadowed by Police
 Whited said he was shadowed by state police continually from the time he first identified Hauptmann, being accompanied by'a state police. man even on his logging expeditions iil the mountains.
 e This would make 1t appear that tho prosecution was not very Ger. tain of its witness" Hoffman said.
 It was reported, without confirma. ton, that Hoffman might move to suDersede Hauck and Attorney Gen. erai David T. Wilenty, who prose- cutad Hauptmann, if Whited or any other state witness should be ace cascd by the defense of perjury. He feels, 1t was said, that neither of the officials would be eligible to prosecute one of their own wit- nesses.

WPA Engineer Presides at Local Gathering of Em-
 plOyes; Questions Asked

Peace reigned ct the meeting of the WPA forenen and timekeepers held in city court last night, and in talk delivered to the assembled members of the group by Charles Beardsley, of the state headquarters ofiice, there was no hint that the state supervisors are dissatisfied with the way the local projects arc being carried out. As Q matter of fact 1t was pointed out that the work here has been going along very well for the past i've weeks under intolerable working condi- tons. The speaker also pointed out that about 9iOO,OOO 0 month is be- ing spent on the projects in the vicinity of the city and that such an amount should be 0 benefit to the members of the community.
 For the most part the meeting was taken up with questions the fore- men had to ask and in advising them what to do under certain cir. cuinstances. The local group present and the number of men from out oi town totaled about 7b. The meeting was Q contrast to some previous meetings that have been held ir other parts of the state where the officials have been reprimandine the foremen for their 1axity.
 Twenty-Five new men were re- gently certified by the state employ ment Office and are now working on the new drain job adjacent to the driving park on Watertown avenue. This makes Q total of 70 men who have been certified this week and tends to lower the number of for- yner Mutual Aid workers who have been waiting for employment.

 Tokio, February N - (UP) - Army chieftains today reached Q compromise with leaders of the OK. tremist army groups who attempted 0 coup and precipitated c grave national emergency. While the guns of . battle fleet dominated the city, and troops and blue. jackets guarded the Imperial palace, the army chiefs and the young re- volting officers agreed that the rebels should return to their regi. ment. Only the enlisted men will return to their regiment. The offi- cers held responsible for leading the men into revolt will be given the opportunity to decide whether to submit to arrest and trial or make some other proposal for their dis- position.
 Will Return to Barracks
 The enlisted men will return to their barracks, but not immediately. For the time being they will Do duartered ct hotels, restaurants and the homes of the ministers of edu- cation, railways and agriculture while details of the compromise are worked out. By Q p. m. co c. m. E.s.T) the rebel soldiers were start- ing to return to their barracks. Authorities expected that they would oil be back at their proper stations by tomorrow morning.
 As they compromised the city and nation was under c most stern state of martial law and there was . censorship that Strangled all news except officially approved material. Ships of the first division of the Grand fleet, pride of the nation, steamed into T'okio bay, their guns ready for action. Picked troops Of the Imperial Guard eooperated with hluejackots and civilian troops to guard strategic parts of the oity and It's great public buildings.
 Held Army Property
 After more than a hours of siays. tery, the war office permitted it to be known that tho rebel extrefnists had held portions of the army sen. cral staff property, the prime ihifas ister's residence and the grounds Of the new diet (parliamenO building.
 Details of the comprothise with the rebels were not ct first an. nounced and the country awaited them eagerly.

 National Leaders Meet
 National leaders met to discuss and recommend to the emperor the immediate future of the countrys government in the light of an at- tempted coup by extremist army officers against liberal elements. Army and navy chieftains met at the Army Club in Tokio; political lead. CTS met separately, each group to arrive ct It's own conclusions and make it's own recommendations to the emperor. Emperor Hirohito, ct his palace, held conferences of his own - with his brothers, Princes Chichibu and Takamatsu and with Field Marshal Prince Nashimoto, head of the Royal House Of Nashi. moto. This led to suggestions that . council of state might be formed of military and political leaders and royal princes to administer the cointry's affairs during the critical weeks to come.
 Casualties in Coup
 Casualties in yesterdays coup remained uncertain. It was be- lleved certain that five of Japan's greatest men were victims of assas- sins. one policeman was known killed in delaying attackers while Count Makino, former keeper of the great seal, escaped. The only esti. mate of total casualties In the coup was made by Japanese newspapers of Singapore 90 killed. It ap:: peared that remnants of tho rebel soldiers remained In Tokio, awaiting developments. Pending decisions Of the political and military leaders they were being fed by the govern. ment and Tokio was quiet.
