SHOUTS DENIALS
AS DEAIH NEARS
(ConUnUM from rag One)
Ximberling went to him 1 nth death
houaa this morning. The former Ger
man machine gunner and one-time
petty criminal In ill native Germany,
had. slept only fitfully through hi
lABt night ol life.
He spent much of the time between
10:30 last night and 5:30 this morn
ing pacing his cell, talking about his
family with his guards, and writing
letter to his old and Impoverished
mother In Germany.
It took Col. Kimberllng nearly five
minutes to calm the sobbing prisoner.
"The state will never solve the oase
by sending me to the chair, for I am
not guilty," Hauptmann was quoted
as saying.
Would Make Radio Appeal
"He said he wished he could appeal
to the publlo over the radio and say
that if anyone knows anything about
the oase, let him come forward and
tell," the guards reported to the war
den. "He said he wanted his son (Man
fred) to grow up and be honest snd
to know his father was Innocent. He
said he got convicted for having mon
ey without knowing what kind of
money It was."
Col. Kimberllng talked with Haupt
mann for half an hour. He came to
the details of the "last meal."
"I'd Uke to have that last meal sent
to Dr. Condon." Hauptmann replied.
He referred to Dr. John F. Condon,
the Lindbergh ransom Intermediary,
whose testimony that Hauptmann was
the man to whom he paid 950,000 ran
son waa a vital link in the circum
stantial evidence that put the Bronx
carpenter where he Is today.
Hauptmann ate no breakfast.
Gangster Eats Hearty
Not so, Charles Zled, the Philadel
phia gangster who will precede Haupt
mann to death In the chair tonight,
Zled ate heartily of cereal, eggs, po
tatoes, toast and coffee.
Zled ordered this last meal:
Celery and olives, roast chicken,
buttered peas, French fried potatoes,
cherries, cake, coffee or milk, and a
cigar.
If Hauptmann does not change his
mind and order, a similar meal will
be offered him.
C. Lloyd Fisher, chief of defense
counsel, called on Hauptmann during
the morning and said later:
"It looks very bad, but until the
sentence Is carried out, I wouldn't
say that I have given up hope. While
there's life, there's hope, and you
can't tell what might break in our
favor."
Hauptmann had braced up consid
erably, Fisher said, since his collapse
with Col. Kimberllng, and told him
he still had hope.
Prepared for Chair
Mrs. Anna Hauptmann. who Tislted
her husband yesterday, will not see
her husband again alive, apparently.
Hauptmann was prepared for the
chair this morning, a spot on his
head being closely shaved.
Zled, like Hauptmann, told Col.
Kimberllng that when ha (Zled) goes
to the chair the state will be taking
the life of "an Innocent man." Zled
killed a policeman In Camden, N. J.
Hauptmann told his guards, thwy
reported:
"I have saved three lives In my
life, and they take mine on built-up
evidence." His reference apparently
was to his claim that he rescued three
persons from drowning.
While the last act of the "most fa
mous criminal case In the world" was
approaching enactment here. Col. and
Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, parents of
the murdered child, continued to
shun the public light in England, to
which country they fled because of
the notoriety that grew out of the
case.
Col. Lindbergh Is spending much
time perfecting a mechanical heart
and lungs, a scientific venture In
which he has been engaged for some
time.
The Rev. John Matthiesen, spirit
ual adviser to the condemned man.
visited Hauptman during the morn
ing, but when he asked Hauptman to
pray he received the reply: "I can
not concentrate now."
E
