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.
