The Pardon court, if convened by the Governor, is expected to meet onday. The court turned down auptmantfs first appeal.

Defends Reprieve

In his statement today, the Gov- ernor defended his Jan. 17 reprieve, pointing out he was "exercising a right that had previously been ex- ercised by many governors, includ- ing those of the prosecutor's own political (Democratic) party."

"It stated that there would be no further reprieve unless the attorney general might agree with me that such e. reprieve would he necessary." the Governor said. "I stated at that time that I did not consider that I had the legal right to grant a repriove that would extend beyond a period of D0 days after Dec. i3 when the warrant of execution was signed by Justice Trenchard.

“If the brilliant Mr. l-iauck and his legal advisers will advise me that I do have the right. l shall be glad to exercise it, because I am more firmly convinced than ever that Hauptmann was not given a trial in line with what we consider to be American standards of justice, and that the whole case reeks with unfairness, passion and prejudice."

Attacks Evidence

The Governor, who has attacked various aspects of the case since he first intcrvi ‘ed Hauptmanu in the death house t Oct. 17, directed his major assault today on the state's evidence on the kidnap lad- der, the most controversial piece of evidence at Hauptmands trial.

The moon-Ir which originated in EPW910118.

This alleged extremist group were bQllfl/Cd t0 hBVe bcCn behind ygg. berdsyh abortive attempt by Bu. 59-105 Dflflsanis to seize land in pro- test against governmental delay in passing the law providing for re- distribution of the great estates.

Officials, while scouting the idea that a communist movement would sweep Spain. admitted the possi- bility that Bela Kun might actu- a‘ly be in Barcelona.

The growing discontent which the Badajos rising revealed was understood tonizht to have spurred Premier Manuel Ariana into urging Bcvernmcnt experts to finth quick- ly the draft of the isw to partition the great estates. The legislation will be put before the cortes for approval as soon as possible.

CANSO, N. 3.. March 2'l—-Rapid- ly gaining strength, a 40-year old Newfoundland fisherman tonight told a story of hunger and honor as he recovered from a week's ex- posure to the North Atlantic in an open boat.

In his comfortable marine hospi- tai cot here John Hatchet‘ recount- ed the circumstances of his dory- mates’ death last Monday, two days after they became lost in a fog on the Scatnrie Banks from the D. P. Barty, iihc Newfoundland Bunker to which they belonged.

He was unaware two other New- foundlanders, missing from the schooner- Francis Spindles- since the time he became lost, were either dead or undergoing the same hard- ships he had encountered.

Became xhausted

Hatcher-‘s companion, William Douglas, was unable to withstand the privations of rowing a. heavy fishing dory day and night without food or water and 48 hours after the two had given up hope of find- ing their mother ship and set a blind course for land without com- pass, the 25-year old fisherman be- came exhausted. . "1 think I'm going to ." he told Hotelier simply. The older fisherman said tonight be tried “to jolly him out of it" but he was un- able to shake the conviction and finally he suggested:

“If you're going to die, you'd bet- ter say your prayers."
