There could be no appeal, as the Court is absolutely supreme.” Gov. Harold G. Hoffman describ- ed as “interésting,” this new inter- pretation of the powers of the Court of Pardons. A prosecution source also stated a belief that this is within the court’s power and that, shouid the court take such action, it would not be challenged. Hcffman Not to Act In a copyrighted article by the Associated Press late Saturday night, it was stated that chances of Bruno's escaping the electric chair had been doused perceptibly when Gov. Hoffman said he had “no intention” of issuing another reprieve. He said he would gladly stay the execution if he had legal right to do so. The Governor has called the Court of Pardons to meet today to consider Hauptmann's second clem- ency plea. Doubt that the prisoner's appeal will be successful was expressed by a high source, which pointed out that the court is not a law tribunal but a mercy court and that the ‘convict’ appearing before it must admit he is guilty and beg for mercy. This Haputmann has refused per- sistently to do. He continues to profess innocence. Gov. Hoffman, in a lengthy in- terview to the Associated Press, re- g affirmed his belief that Hauptmann had been tried unfairly, that some of the evidence was open to serious doubt, and that the Lindbergh baby | slaying was the crime of more than one person. i He said the execution, even if accomplished, would not end his investigation. While he talked, Robert Hicks, ‘Washington criminologist, for whose report of the result of injury in Cuba he was waiting, returned in a plane. The Governor said his re- | port was interesting and would be further investigated. Three phases reported were a| four-page affidavit by Samuel Gare- ' lick, the man Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon was said to have seen in Miami, December, 1934, for ques- tioning, who is now serving a me sentence for extortion in Cuba; a' nine-page statement by Harry Sid- mor, dealing with the operation of | a Midwest extoftionist gahg in con- nection with the case; a statement | by Dr. Alfonso - Gonzales, saying! that in October, 1832, he was shown | a letter by a middle-aged unidenti- fied German offering to exchnnge‘l ransome money. The signature,' Gonzales told Hicks, was that of Isador Fisch, the man Hauptmann says owned the ransom money. WHYN'T HE STAY.
