' WEALD. Kentr Eng.. April 4.
( Saturday )-,P)-The firtt April
now fall in fire years was falling
today over the rambling two-storied
bouse in which the family
of Col. Charlea A. Lindbergh live
here when Bruno Richard Haupt
raann'a life ended.
The Lindberghs Charles, Ann
and their young ion, Jon were
half through their night's sleep
when Hauptmann paid the death
penalty at 1:473 m., British
time.
.To the very end the Lind
berghs were true to their resolu
tion never to discuss the Hopewell
tragedy after the trial at which
the German carpenter was eon
Tic ted. Since that day, close
friends of the family said, no word
concerning the subject has ever
been heard from them.
They had been trying to forget
the cruel past in this Kentish
hamlet, attempting to forge a new
life among the simple country
folk. The only excitement in the
quiet Tillage of Weald during the
evening was a football match.
played by schoolboys, workmen,
farm laborers and delivery boys.
London newspapers, carrying
out aa Informal agreement with
newspaper jroprietors association
made no attempt to get comment
from the Lindberghs in connection
with the execution of Hauptmann.
although they printed thousands
of words describing the last scenes
at Trenton.
It was understood . the Lind
berghs planned to stay at Weald
at least throughout the summer.
A swimming pool in the garden at
their cottage is already being pre
pared for their use.

room below the feet of the silent
sentries kindled memories of all
the protracted entanglements, the
confusion of the case.
Until the last there was the
feeling something would happen,
and all had approached the night
with the Suspicion that it would
be a repetition of Tuesday night's
broken date with death.
At twilight state troopers in
sky-blue tunics, dark-coated city
police and prison guards moved
ominously Into the district, a de
pressing neighborhood of brick
and frame houses, factories and
vacant lots.
Prisoners Shout at
Police Derisively
In the lighted cell blocks con
victs, looking down on the streets,
shouted derisively at the police.
Newspapermen, photographers,
sound truck men swarmed about
the entrance where everybody
waited for news.
In the cell blocks as the hour of
death drew near the clamor of
voices ceased.
As the hands of the clock reach
ed the appointed hour the air was
filled with conjectures.
Some still thought of an execu
tive reprieve.
In the press headquarters, set
up in a big bare garage made of
cement blocks across the street, a
host of other newspapermen and
telegraphers waited tensely.
Minutes slipped by, a delay had
obviously ensued.
The telegraph keys clicked listlessly.-Sometimes
-men would cry
out In voices taut with excitement.
Everybody was uneasy.
They had no long time to wait
when at last the guards moved to
the gate, and those who had seen
Hauptmann die came out at last
with the news.
Then the crowds did nothing.
They simply melted away, talking
among themselves.
