- HAUPTMANN GETS NO FURTHER STAYS Governor Says as Matters Stand He Will Not Grant Reprieve. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, March 5—Gov. Harold Hoffman of New Jersey today denied that there would be another reprieve for Bruno Richard Haupt- mann, convicted slayer of the Lind- baby. be“ril:A mnt{ers now stand,” Gov. Hoff- man said just before addressing the Broadway Cheese Club luncheon at the Hotel Astor, “there will be no further reprieve for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, “My attitude of January 17 is un- changed. Unless something arises that will bring Mr. Wilentz (attorney general) and myself into agreement to go before Justice Trenchard, based on new evidence, there will not be & reprieve. “To say that I have changed my mind, es has been reported frequently of late, is entirely incorrect.” Has No Legal Right. Hauptmann is scheduled to be exe- cuted during the week of March 30. In commenting upon that Hoffman said: “I have not the legal right to give Hauptmann another reprieve. The 90 days from his seatence in Decem- ber will have expired by the date set for his electrocution.” While not mentioning the Hunter- don County prosecutor by name, Gov. Hoffman was believed to be referring | to him when he said: “Those who were going to challenge my right to give Hauptmann another reprieve have been barking at the; ?‘” 'L/Zu/-m-zw v Colel S Tro i moon. The question of the challenge | has not yet appeared because no re- prieve is in prospect now.” STORY ABOUT FISCH SCORNED. Prosecutor Says Crossing Watchman | Tale Was Checked Four Years Ago. TRENTON, N. J., March 5 (P.—A railroad crossing watchman’s story of seeing the mysterious Isidor Fisch, now dead, near Col. Charles A. Lind- bergh’s home several times before the famous flyer's first son was kidnaped and slain, was labeled worthless to- day by Prosecutor Anthony M. Hauck, Jjr., who helped convict Bruno Richard Hauptmann of the crime. Alfred Hammond, the watchman, gaid he not only recognized phutq- graphs of Fisch after Hauptmann's arrest, but also told the State police. Hammond said one of the troopers replied he must be wrong “because Fisch died in Germany broke.” Hauck, prosecutor of Hunterdon County, where Hauptmann's trial was man’s story had been checked four years ago, and that when Hauptmann was arrested, Hammond was unable to identify either him or Fisch. Story Was Checked, Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the State police, also said Hammond's statement had been studied carefully and all angles investigated. The watchman, Schwarzkopf said, had never identified any one, and the in- vestigation had been barren of re- sults. Hammond, who lives in Wood- bourne, Pa., a small village in Bucks County, was questioned in Trenton three days ago by C. Raymond Lyons, & representative of Gov. Harold G. Hoffman, who is conducting his own investigation of the kidnaping in the belief it has not been completely solved. Throughout Hauptmann's trial his lawyers hinted time and again Fisch, who died supposedly penniless in Ger- many in the Spring of 1934, may have had knowledge of the Kkidnaping. Hauptmann swore the $14,600 Lind- bergh ransom money, found in his Bronx garage, had been left in a shoe box in his care by the consumptive furrier, who had been his business partner. Watchman Says He's Positive. “They showed you a picture of Fisch?” Lyons, referring to the State police, asked Hammond. “Yes.” “And you were positive in your {dentification?” “Yes. When I first saw his picture in the paper, I said that was the man,” Hammond was quoted as saying in e transcript of the examination. He said Pisch was one of three men in a car which stopped about the same time every moruing, for eight or nine days before the kidnaping, at the Hollows road crossing of the Reading Railroad, not far from the Lindberghs’ Hopewell estate, where Hammond was on duty. SERVANT REPORTED DEAD. Mrs. Whately, one of Three in Lind- bergh Home Night of Kidnaping, Cancer Victim. NEW YORK, March 4 (#)—The Daily News says it learned today that Mrs. Elsie Whately, one of three serv- mnts in Col. Charles A. Lindbergh's home the night his baby was kidnaped, had died of cancer in Birmingham, England, last January 8. Mrs. Whately’s husband, Ollie Whately, was the Lindberghs’ butler. He died at Princeton, N. J.,, May 23, 1933. The News quotes Mrs. Whately's sister, Mrs. Albert Ward, at whose home she died, as saying: “I can tell you neither she nor her poor husband had anything to do with, or knew anything about, the kidnap- ing. It was terrible for them both. My sister suffered great distress over the affair. I'm sure it hastened her end.” _— DOG HAS MUMPS Loyally Contracts Ailment of Young Mistress.

Lobby (Continued From First Page.) Chambersburg, Pa. “I can testify only about the ones we destroyed.” Cook said all telegrams bearing on the drive against the Wheeler-Ray- burn bill were burned in an oil drum | back of the company’s Chambersburg branch. A. A. Arris, Predericksburg sales- ' man for the company, said all tele- grams and reports in connection with the campaign were “in ashes.” “I burned them all while I was| cleaning house,” Arris explained, “I thought they had served their pur- se.’ Arris said the papers were burned in an oil can used as an incinerator, Letters to Congress Ordered. John Beard, Hagerstown salesman, said he had received orders “from headquarters” to have letters written to members of Congress in opposition to the pending utility bill. He admit- ted receiving the following telegram from Williams: “Re letter May 31 Wheeler-Rayburn bill, imperative you use every possible means to register protest against pas- sage of this bill. Have every employe put forth extra effort immediately and continue until final disposition of bill. Be prepared to report your progress at meeting June 8.” The committee was informed that a meeting to discuss the campaign was held at the Henry L. Doherty Club, 1319 K street. “Isn’t it a fact,” demanded Black of Arris, “that if the committee hadn’t gotten copies of these telegrams from the telegraph. companies we could never have gotten them?” “I suppose 80,” the witness re- sponded. A. R. Thorson, corporate secretary of the Crew-Levick Co., said he had “thrown in the waste basket” letters and telegrams containing reports of progress in the campaign against the bill. “And they went into the incinerator, too?” asked Black. “Right. We have one in the build- ing in Philadelphia,” Thorson an- swered, amid laughter. Reports From Six States and D. C. rson said the reports came from New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Delaware, the District of Columbia and parts of Virginia and West Vir- ginia. He said the employes were directed to get in touch with “stockholders” of Cities Service, but evidence intro- duced by the committee showed that the solicitors canvassed relatives, friends and other persons. ‘Thorson said the employes were “supposed to do this work” outside of working hours. After other representatives of the company had testified they had specific instructions to get only letters against the Wheeler bill, Thorson, who had been excluded from the room during this testimony, insisted the campaign was “not for or against the bill—just use their own judgment.” - ‘Thorson estimated that the Crew- Levick Co. had spent about $275 on ly after noting the reports on a work sheet. “Where is the work sheet?” Black asked. “That was destroyed, too, as it had served its purpose,” Thorson said. “Did you get instructions from any one to destroy thoee records?” “No. I did it voluntarily.” “That’s quite a coincidence, isn't it?” inquired Senator Gibson, Republican, of Vermont. “No. I find the waste basket a very | useful medium for filing away old | papers,” Thorson replied. “Do I understand, now, that you did not instruct your employes to get let- ters opposing the Wheeler bill?” Black persisted. “I'd say we were neutral,” the wit- ness replied. “You mean neutral, but leaning against the bill?” Black inquired sar- castically. “Well, something like that, I guess.” Employes Fought Measure. Later in his testimony, Thorson agreed with committee members that employes of the Crew-Levick Co. had worked vigorously against the bill. Black reiterated that the committee would have been without any infor- mation, however, from the Crew- Levick Co. regarding its campaign last Spring against the holding company bill if the investigators for the com- mittee had not obtained copies of the company's telegrams from the wire companies. Black adjourned the hearing until 10 a.m. tomorrow after concluding the interrogation of Thorson. He told reporters he had no comment to make regarding publication today of firms and individuals whose telegrams have been examined by the committee. He said the committee has no intention of making public the list. Meanwhile, the Senate Committee mapped plans to defend itself from attacks in Congress, in the courts and in the country at large. As hundreds of firms and indi- viduals scattered throughout the country learned with surprise and in- dignation that their ‘“private cor- respondence” by wire has been “tapped” by agents of the committee, Chair- man Black consulted with committee members and with newly employed special counsel on a program in de- fense of the committee’s “constitu- tional rights.” Gives Attention to Injunction. ‘Turning momentarily from its ex- pose of legislative lobbying, the com- mittee gave immediate attention to injunction proceedings brought by Silas H. Strawn, noted Chicago lawyer and New Deal foe. The committee, unmoved by severe criticism in the House and in the District Supreme Court, has commis- sioned Chairman Black’s former law partner, Crampton Harris of Birming- ham, Ala, to protect its interest at 8 hearing next Wednesday before Justice Jesse C. Adkins. The committee’s attorney will op- pose Frank J. Hogan, who tilted with the Senate in general and Senator Black in particular in the airmail in- vestigation of two years ago.

A primary skirmish in which Roose- velt forces drew first blood from their Talmadge foes today shared interest with a sharpening politico-economic debate. Administration leaders were de- lighted over the results of the Nation’s first presidential primary test, held in Seminole County, Ga. Incomplete returns showed voters calling, by a margin of more than 5 to 1, for the renomination of President Roosevelt over Talmadge. Marion Allen, Roosevelt manager in Georgia, expressed “appreciation to the loyal Democrats.” Talmadge declared “I doubt if the Talmadge folks had much chance to get out and vote.” Point to Unemployment. As for the economic argument, critics of the New Deal were point- ing with increasing frequency to con- tinuing large scale unemployment. Col. Henry Breckinridge, an anti- administration Democrat, said in a Baltimore speech yesterday that New Deal “economic folly” probably is responsible “for a third and perhaps @ half of existing unemployment.” On the other hand, administration leaders were stressing difference in business conditions now and in 1933. Senator Robinson, Democrat, Ar- kansas, debating with Senator Dickin- son, Republican, Iowa, on the Senate flocr yesterday, asked if the Iowa Senator preferred the “prosperity” of March 4, 1933, to present conditions. Dickinson had declared “the entire Nation is indignant and disillusioned.” And that 15 million dollars had been “squandered in three years of waste and reckless extravagance.” | Robinson said that if the country preferred conditions in the days of the Hoover administration to those of to- day, it meant “the re-election of Hoover,” and not some other Repub- lican. Dickinson has announced aspirations for the presidency, although he has | not entered primaries. Other Political Developments, Other political developments in- cluded a statement by Harrison E. Spangler, Republican committeeman from Iowa, saying ‘Jeffersonian Demo- crats are swinging away from the Roosevelt regime.” Spangler, who con- ferred with organizers here yesterday, said he had made a detailed survey. The movement for Gov. Alf M. Lan- | don of Kansas, for the Republican | nomination, reached another climax in his home State when the party con- | vention there pledged its 18 delegates | | to him “until he is nominated or until he releases them.” S e T T ; Inc.: Equity Corp., Consolidated Funds | Corp., Warner-Quinlan Co, W.

It is an infamous abuse of Government power and contrary to every theory of individual freedom and the citizen’s immunity from Govern- ment espionage and oppression.” “The record of the present admin- istration so abounds in infamy that this is simply one more in a long series.” & Electric Co, C.
