(C, P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

HALIFAX, Feb. Ill-Delay in sending relief money to South 1n- goiiish, Cape Breton village where 4o families were said to be “on the verge of starvation," was due to the inability of Warden D. B.

’ ' Provincial Rights

The Privy Council in the United Kingdom had stood by the rights of the provinces where there had been invasion of provincial-rights, declared Senator Lemleux, local- ing the days of MacDonald and Mowatt and the Ontario stream bill and other cases. "Evolution might be a very fine theory," he stated, "but I adhere strictly to the principles which were advocated by constdtutionallsts of 40 and 50 years

ago.

"I stand irrevocably for provin- cial rights unless it is demon- strated that we are in the wrong and that we must. so to speak. blast our way through the con- stitution." He thought a "very ingonuous theory" had been ad- vanced by the Government leader which "would nullify all provincial lights."

The question was most impor- tant, said Sanator Lemieux. "Would not the Government be in a stronger pcsltton-I will not say to railroad this legislation through the Senate. because I know that ls not interlded—-but would it not stlonlrth the position of the Clov- ernnlen-t if before asking this House to pass the legislation the quest! at issue was submitted for the opinion of the Supreme Court of Carlada."

There were grave doubts in Canada as to the legality of this legislation, notwithstanding the decision in the radio case he argued. The Senate will meet again to- morrow to discuss other bilsiness.

Faces Glive

The jurors‘ faces were grave as they answered “present? The court clerk called on them a rise. Justice Thomas W. Trenchard. benign, white-haired, said “Let the defendant stand."

Hauptmarln arose between his guards, straight as a ramrod. "Members of the jury, have you agreed upon your verdict?" asked Court Clerk Fell.

Tht jurors: "We have."

The Court Clerk: "Who shall speak for you?"

The jurors chcrused: “The fore- man." i

Court Clerk Flell: "Mr. foreman. what say you. do you find the de- fendant guilty or not guilty?"

The foreman: "Guilty. We find the defendant, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, guilty of murder in the first degree." jrhe court; “one moment. No person will leave the courtroom un- til the court is finished. Stay right where you are."

Court Clerk Fell: “Members of the jury, you have heard the verd- ict, that you find the defendan‘, Bruno Richard Hauptmarin, guilty of miurder in the first degree and so say you all."

The jurors: "We do.”

Foreman Walton's voloe was shaking, and the folded paper in his hand trembled as he spoke the ve:d1ct. A gasp arose in the court- room.

As the jurors were polled each repeated “guilty of murder in the first degree."

‘lilenitz rnoveu “for sen/tense of the defendant at this time." after Hauptmann had been seated. , "Let me have the indictment." said Justice Trenchald.

He discussed the laiw requiring sentence to be fixed within "a cer- tain week" not less than four weeks‘nor more than eight weeks after the ' ence of the warrant- Then he told Hauptnlann to stand again

FLEMINGTCfN, N. J., ‘Feb. l9 --

A jury weighed the fate of Bruno Richard Hauptmann as the world waited tonight. Eight men, four wolren of I-Iun- terdon County worked toward a verdict, locked in a lrarc, bleak room in the back of a fentury-old court- house, trying to decide if baby Lindbemh di:d at Hauptmanne bands, if l-fauptm-nn must die, spend his life in prison or be freed of the crime.

At 3.80 p. m. four hours afier they had GIliflNd the room. the first word came from the jurors-w. re- quest for a. magnifying glass. It was taken into the guarded chamber.

Presumably they scught to iXI-Spflct the ransom not/es that eight experts laid to Hauptmann; till‘. markings on the ladder that a government wood expert said were made by Hauptmannk plane; the "JlI-fsle" phone number an“ address scrawl on Hauptmanrlis closet prnl or scmeother of the. s10 es of ex- hibits they had with them.

Hauptmann Unmoved

l-lauptmarln, seemingly nerveless under the hours of tension, lay listlessly on his bunk on the floor below the jury room throughout the afternoon. One of his attorneys sa._ld the prisoner apparently had not dared to guess what the ver- dict will be. But, he added, I-Iaupt- mann seemed unafraid,

The slain baby's father, boyish yet grave, watched the jury file out at". 11.28 a.m., then went from the courtroom to be with his wife at Erlglewood. They will be in- formed of the verdict by telephone.

The jury heard the grave. clear- cut instructions of white-haired Thomas W. ‘Trenchard, Justice of the Supreme Court of New Jersey. and took their memories of 2000,- 000 words of testimony and argu- ment intc the room where they must stay-either to reach one of the three verdicts or to emerge in a hopeless deadlock.

There they will eat-and sleep, if they can.

Should the jurors say "guilty of first degree murder"-tnat alone- it means the electric chair for the German carpenter, unless his ap- peal wins in a. higher court. Should recommendati cf mercy, the answer is life imprisonment.

That was Justice 'i‘renchard's order. and the spec- tators. on request of Attornev General David '1‘. Wilentz, were ushered from the rccm after the jury had rrtircd. They left slcwlv, reluctantly. to stand outside in the main str-t sunshine in exvccfiint groups. The crircfree, gay quality of the throng was gone, for the most part. '

Guard Jnryrcom

Inside the courthouse, state troopers in their bright blue coals guarded the doors of the juryroom. Outside, knots of the curious gath- ered from time to time under the windows of the county jail, star-

At 4 p.m. sandwiches and coffer- were taken into the juryroom. ‘That was two hours and ‘l minutes after the jurors had retired.

Judge Addresses Jury

The eight men and four women listened with attention as the fatherly justice read the charge tr distinct, unhurried tones. Haupt- mann heard the words with pain ful attention, his face set and pale Occasionally his eyes moved swift- ly down the rows of jurors, scan- ning their faces.

A few feet away, his wife's face was sshen, her eyes blank. But they welled up with tears when th court said:_“If there is reasonable doubt that the defendant is guilty. he is to be declared not guilty." and again. when Justice Trenchard intoned a repetition of the ransom man's words to “Jafsle": “Would I burn if the baby is dead?"

As the justice finished, he pol- ished his spectacles and there was a conference with counsel as to whether exceptions to the charge would be heard before or aft/er the jury retired. Justice Irenchard decided on the latter course.

"The jury may retire," he said.

Carrying coats and hats, they filed slowly from the box, past Hauptmann and his wife, to the bare back room where they began to talk, to think. to argue.

Searching Inch

Hauptmanngave each face a searching look. Mrs. Hauptmann gazed at each man. each woman. As the last filed past the prisoner seemed lost in thought.

"Don't you feel everything is all right, Mrs. Hauptmann?" asked someone.

She shook her head and smiled faintly.

"No." she murmured.

She beckoned with her heed to

her husband and they exchanged a few low words. He nodded vigor- ously. Then he sat with arms fold- ed, the veins in his hands bulging. as his attorneys made their excep- ticns. _ His wife's eyes followed him as he was “remanded to the custody of the sheriff," to go back to his cell. As the spectators moved out. she shook hands with a Yorkville couple, owners of a beer gadren in New York's German section. “Good luck, Annie,” they said.

Then she put on her black seal- skln coat and went weal-fly back to the yellow frame house to await the ringing of the bell. _

Justice Trenchard retired to his chambers.

And outside, on the sidewalks, on the courthouse steps, on the porch of the old Union Hotel and in the street, where automobiles moved slowly through a narrow lane, Flemington waited.

Briefly Covers Evidence g

In i brief. Justice Trenchard charged the jury that the evidence inferred theibaby had been taken from the nursery by someone who ascended the ladder, opened the window, took the baby, left a. ran- som note, and began to dtxcend

The ' Justice asked

when the Old b?" "$00 the wllrli- , whether it thought there was any

evidence in the case to support any conclusion a gang committed the crime; and pointed to the board found in Hauptmarlns closet with Dr. Condon's address and tele- phone number on it; the sudden affluence of Hauptmann; the tes- timony of the aged Amandus Hochmuth he had seen H"""\i- mnnn at the estate the day of the crime.

The value of testimony of fin-

experts was for thegjury to decide. he charged; i-la- ptmsntrs own in- terest in the case and his previous convictions for crimes were to be considered as weighing upon his credibility as a witness; and the state must have proved its case- if any reasonable doubt surround- ed any fact in the chain of cir- tumstantial evidence, "the defend- ant should be acquitted."

He left the jury with three ver-

noted after the jury retired. ob- jected that evidence did not sus- tain thtfinference the child had been kidnapped _by way, of the lad‘.- der; that the child had been killed in the act; that it had been killed in Hunterdon County; and to any omission of a charge that if Hauptmsnn had acted as a go-bc- tween, that fact was not sufficient for a conviction of murder under the indictment.

Edward J- Reilly, chief defence counsel also objected to language used by the Judge in his charge reflecting favorably upon the ac- tions an! the testimony of Dr. Condon and of Hochmuth. Specif- ic requests of the defence not in- cluded in the charge also formed the bases of exceptions which were granted by the coin-t. .
