PAGE TWO MKT) FORD MATT, TRTRUNK MEPKOItD. OREGON, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 1, 1936. OF GIVES BRUNO TIME (Continued from uge One ) asked the grand Jury for permission to appear before It today, and that he bellevtd ha could show the al leged "confessions" were untrue, and that there had been "a conspiracy to obstruct Justice. Would Waive Immunity Kafea said Wen del was ready to waive immunity. Should an Indictment b returned, Klmberllng said, a court order or decision from some competent au thorlty would probably be necessary to carry the execution beyond this week. ' The order of execution, signed by Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, fixes the date as "the week of March 30." Klmberllng was not certain wheth er the week ends legally at Saturday midnight or Sunday at the same hour. ' Hauptmann has not yet been told that a new date has been set. Klmberllng told Mrs, Anna Haupt mann, the condemned man's wife, of the new date, when sne called at the prison at noon. She was weeping slightly when she left. She hod not seen her husband but expected to return later In the day. ' If it Is necessary to postpone the execution beyond Friday night, Klm berllng said, be will ask Supreme Court Justice Trenchard for legal ad vice on when the week expires. Checked With Governor The governor disclosed he had con ferred with Gov. Harold O. Hoffman this afternoon and "had checked up with him" before setting the new . date. - Klmberllng said Hauptmann had been moved back to his old cell. No. 0, yesterday after being prepared to go to the chair. Cell No. 0 Is only even paces from the chair. - The warden said !' Mrs. Haupt mann should request htm to let her take her eon, Manfred, Into the death house he would not refuse her request, but would urge her not to do It. . "No good can come of It," he said. Last night the grand Jury, by un precedented action, had requested Warden Mark O. Klmberllng of the state penitentiary to postpone the electrocution until It could make a further Investigation of Wendel an gles. ; The body remained In session until early today and then adjourned until this afternoon. Political Angle Seen The grand Jury action caused con siderable discussion on the political differences between Prosecutor Mar shall and Allyne M. Freeman, the Jury foreman. ' Marshall la a Democrat, while Free man la a Republican, as Is Governor Hoffman, who has been fighting to save Hauptmann from the chalr-4-at least temporarily. ' There was no Information on how many of the grand Jury panel of 83 participated In the deliberations. A vote of 13 la necessary to find an In dictment. James S. Klrkham, chief of Mercer county detectives, who swore out the murder complaint against Wendel, did not testify. He has said he has "vorbal, circumstantial and material" evidence to back up the charge. Prosecutor Marshall professed him self mystified by the whole procedure which, accidental! or otherwise, was timed to a nicety to stay Haupt mann'a detrth. Ha said he did not know whether Freeman or others had "engineered" It. One of the unusual things about the surprise session was the fact that the Jury spent a majority of Its time without witnesses before It, seem ingly in deliberation. 2 SLATED THIS MONTH FOR ELKS TEMPLE Two boxing cards will be staged In the Elks'-CCC series during the month of April, according to Ernest Scott, Elks' secretary.
