Grand Jury
In Jersey In Session Today
(Continued from Page 1)
The case against this man is cruelly ridiculous. I can assure you he will not be indicted. Not only will Hauptmann die in the electric chair for sure this time, but there are apt to be charges against some of those who were responsible for the arrest of Wendel.
"The grand jury will be informed how Wendel was illegally siezed and held captive in New York last February, how he was tortured into making the "confession" which he has since repudiated, and how he was transported, a virtual prisoner of thugs, from one state into another."
That the investigation of Wendel may prove to be a boomerang for those who started it, was plainly indicated when Assistant District Attorney William McGuinness, of Brooklyn, paid a flying visit to Wendel in his county jail cell here last night.
It was learned New York authorities are seeking the men who seized Wendel there five weeks ago, for questioning on possible kidnap charges.
Wendel himself, may appear before the grand jury today. He has offered to do so, waiving immunity.
Attorney-General David T. Wilentz also has been asked to go before the jury and argue that no one could have been guilty of the Lindbergh crime but Hauptmann.
It was reported that state handwriting experts at Hauptmann's trial will also be called to testify concerning the Lindbergh ransom notes and the handwriting of Hauptmann and Wendel.
The grand jury, which began its deliberations Tuesday afternoon, in time to request a death stay only five minutes before Hauptmann was to have been executed, may not finish its work on this case and all its astonishing ramifications today, or even this week, it was believed by members of both factions.
Meantime, Kimberling has announced he will not permit
DOUBT THAT BRUNO WILL DIE FRIDAY
(Continued from Page 1) from then on began casting oath on the sole guilt of Hauptmann even though the evidence against the prisoner at his trial sat both the judge and the jury.
Hauptmann was first scheduled to die Jan. 17 last but Gov Hoffman reprieved him. His cution was next set for Tuesday, March 31. The foremost the grand jury, Major Allyr Freeman, friend of Gov Hoffen telephoned Warden Kimberlin hold up the execution for at 48 hours because the grand jury was investigating "new and interesting angles" of the Wendel fession," and now Kimberlin set the hour of Hauptmann's at 8 p.m. April 3.
The big question in Trento day is: "Will Hauptmann die morrow night?" the answer "Yes" and "No"—depending with whom you talk.
Everybody has his own Nobody knows.
Hauptmann's execution until jury has disposed of the Wend case, and Gov Hoffman has repeatedly there will be no further reprieves except with the sent of Wilentz. But last when asked what his at about a reprieve now is, in of the Wendel confession, only say:
"No comment."

It then on began casting doubt the sole guilt of Hauptmann though the evidence against prisoner at his trial satisfied the judge and the jury. Hauptmann was first scheduled Jan. 17 last but Governor man reprieved him. His exe- ence was next set for Tuesday, March 31. The foreman of grand jury, Major Allyne M. Mann, friend of Gov. Hoffman, honored Warden Kimberling to up the execution for at least hours because the grand jury investigating "new and inter- angles" of the Wendel "con- on," and now Kimberling has one hour of Hauptmann's doom p.m. April 3.
The big question in Trenton to- is: "Will Hauptmann die to- row night?" the answer is "no" and "No"—depending upon whom you talk. Everybody has his own guess. body knows.
Holtmann's execution until the has disposed of the Wendel and Gov. Hoffman has stated recently there will be no further reprieves except with the con- of Wilentz. But last night, he asked what his attitude at a reprieve now is, in view of Wendel confession, would say: No comment."
New Jersey Gov. Appears Before Co. Grand Jury

mann, also has been summoned by the grand jury.
"I think Condon is already on his way here," this aide said. "He should be before the jury early this afternoon."
(This information coincided with reports from New York that Condon left his Bronx home this morning.)
A stenographer was called into the jury room shortly after the governor went in.
The governor came at the request of the jury, one of his aides explained. The request was delivered to him at his suite in the Hildebrecht hotel.
The general expectancy of a "big break of some kind," felt from the time the jury convened, heightened greatly at the governor's surprise arrival.
A few minutes before the governor went up, Burlington County Chief of Detectives Ellis H. Parker, was reported to have gone into the jury room by a secret entrance.
It was Parker, the governor's close friend, who arrested Paul H. Wendel, the disbarred attorney who is the center of their weird case. Parker obtained a "confession" (since repudiated) from Wendel and insists that he is the real kidnaper and murderer of Baby Lindbergh.
Sensation followed sensation.

Georgia City Tornado Swept

The storm struck shortly before 6 a.m. while the residents of the town were still asleep, and the victims had no chance to seek safety before the full fury of the storm was upon them.
Sheriff Pitts also stated he had received reports several persons were killed in the surrounding country.
Ambulances from other nearby towns were summoned, and all doctors and nurses in the town were pressed into service. Vacant stores in the downtown section were turned into emergency hospital wards.
Authorities prepared to turn out the local unit of the National Guard to take charge of the situation, and John Anderson, secretary of the chamber of commerce, telephoned Gov. Eugene Talmadge, asking that troops in other nearby cities stand by to lend assistance if needed.
Sheriff Pitts said it would be several hours before search of the debris for additional bodies would be completed.
Damage to the city will run into hundreds of thousands of dollars, the sheriff said.
The storm lasted only about ten minutes and then swept out into the country.
"The damage within the city was confined mostly to the resi- dential section," the sheriff stat-ed.

THE COLD DECK
The war baby of Germany who thousands of troops into the island to preserve peace, the day called an election to the people approve his action, voters were unable to vote wise than "Yes" since there no place on the ballot to vote."
It was Parker, the governor's close friend, who arrested Paul H. Wendel, the disbarred attorney who is the center of their weird case. Parker obtained a "confession" (since repudiated) from Wendel and insists that he is the real kidnapper and murderer of Baby Lindbergh.
Sensation followed sensation.
Shortly after 11 a.m., Dr. Charles H. Mitchell, Mercer county medical examiner, who performed the autopsy on Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., after recovery of the body in May, 1932, was summoned by the jury.
The portly physician, retraced Governor Hoffman's route to the witness room of the grand jury.
Reports also swept the courthouse that Arthur Koehler, state wood expert who testified part of the kidnap ladder came from Hauptmann's attic; Albert Osborn, Sr., handwriting authority who said Hauptmann wrote the ransom notes, and Attorney General David T. Wilentz who prosecuted the Bronx carpenter would appear before the grand jury.
The courthouse proper, meanwhile, was thrown into a turmoil by the real-life drama. Metropolitan newspapers rushed reporters and cameramen to the building, while from every part of the city automobiles bore crowds of curiosity seekers to the scene.
At 11:30 a.m., stairways and corridors of the courthouse were packed with throngs of sightseers. Bulbs of the cameramen were flashing constantly.
Foreman Allyne Freeman intimated that the grand jury's investigation will be a long and thorough one as soon as he arrived today. He issued a belligerent statement warning critics of the jury to be careful of their remarks and declaring that one news commentator would be called upon for an explanation of things he already has said.
"Grand juries," he said, "were originally constituted to protect the people against oppression, autocratic and political power. It is the most precious, constitution-provided possession of the American people.
"As long as I remain foreman, no vote will ever be taken in any case when there still remains testimony to be heard."
If the grand jury hands up an indictment charging Wendel with the Lindbergh murder, Hauptwill not go to the electric chair as scheduled, at 8 p.m. tomorrow. Furthermore, one of the governor's aides said, in such an event he won't go for a long time and possibly never.
