TTTWNE FISH AND our issociii [IN

Charges that the Prince Edward Island Fish and Game Association was "controlled by a few who jock- eyed seasons around for their con- venience" and that it "attempted to legislate for all the people of the province.” were hurled last night at a public meeting here sponsored by Charlottetown Progressive Club.

Claiming the provincial Associa- tion had assumed a "dictatorial nt- tltudo" while it did not "represent the feeling of the sportsmen of Prince Edward Island" the meeting decided to form a new body for “the protection oi the Fish and Game oi Prince Edward Island."

The Progressive club had called the gathering to discuss conserva- tion oi fish and game and the regu- lation of trout fishing.

Early in the meeting strong op- position was voiced to the provincial Association's proposed blanket re- vision ‘of Prince Edward Island Fish and Game Act which, among other things called for annual imposition of a ZS-cent fishing license and a $1.00 hunting license on resident sportsmen, The provincial body hnd Proposed the widespread amend- ments to the Act lit c. meeting in Charlottetown March 13.

(By Samuel G. Blackman, Associated Press Staff Writer): (A. P. By Guardian's Special Wire) TRENTON, N. J., March 30-Bruno Richard Haupt- mann was all but delivered to his executioner tonight as both New Jersey’s pardon court and governor-apparently, the only persons able t0 save him-refused to spare his life. His death walk of only a few paces for the kidnap mur- der of the Lindbergh baby is set for soon after eight o’clock

tomorrow night.

The double denial of clemency-first by the New .

Jersey Court of Pardons and quickly thereafter by Gov- ernor Harold Hoffman-shattered Hauptrnannh last hope

in the eyes of his attorney, C.

Lloyd Fisher.

NOTIFIED OF REFUSAL

Fisher carried the news of the double denial of clsnency to llaupt-

mann tonight".

Leaving the prison after a half-hour visit, he said llauptmann never

flinchcd, and "looked just as he did him guilty."

There has been no previous indication that Hauptmann knew o0

Fisher said the only possible], move left would be an application ; to Supreme court Justice Thomas= W. Trenchard, the trial judge, for a new trial, but he indicated that would be hopeless. .

But of Hauptnlnnn, he said: i

"Ho still has hone, and he kept his chin up in the iiir."

In a crisply worded decision, the Court of Pardons, also known as the Board o! Pardons said:

“The second application’ for clemency made by Bruno Richard I-Iauptmann, before the board of pardons of New Jersey, sentenced to death for the murder oi Char- les A. Lindbergh, J1'..Maroh1.l932. was today denied."

Then Governor Hoffman, who virtually pleaded for Heuptmanrrs liie before the Pardons Court over which he presided, sa-id:

"The action oi the Court of Pardons was the final action in the l-Iauptmnnn case. ,

"There will be no reprieve.” ‘

Only some startling new de- velopment that might. lead the Governor to change his mind and disregard the Attorney Generalb opinion that hi; power to reprieve has expired, seemed able to save the former Bronx carpenter.

Six flour Session

The quick succession of adverse decisions followed a six-hour ses- sion oi the Pardons Court, called by Governor Hoffman to consider a series of new developments in the case.

Fisher would not. say what. fur- ther steps would be taken to save his client but sold there would 11¢ some. '

Mrs. Anna Hauptmnnn, whose chances of seeing her husband ag- ain seemed slight, grew hysterical when the news reached her. ‘Throwing herself on the bed in her hotel room she sobbed:

"’I‘here must be some way out. There must be."

These reports were denied of- ficially, but they came from sources close in the governor.
