TRENTON, Oct. 9.The Court of Errors and Af pals, New Jersey's highest court, ruled unanimously today that Bruno Richard Hauptmann was justly convicted and must die for the kidnap-murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. The refusal of the Court to reverse or modify the sentence leaves Hauptmann with but three possible avenues of escape all of them very doubtful. His only hope of avoiding the death sentence now lies in an appeal to the United States Supreme Court; a plea to the Court of Pardons, which may commute the sentence to life imprisonment, or the discovery of new evidence, so startling, that it will require a new trial.

Great Britain has not severed diplomatic relations with Italy and may not even after economic sanctions have been ordered, agitation against Italy is growing in this country and leading to unfriendly acts against Italian nationals which may strain affairs between the nations to the breaking point. An example of this was seen today when the Italian steamer Rina Corrado, upon her arrival at Cardiff, was invaded by aggressive dock workers who levied sanctions of their own making. The longshoremen pasted large anti-Italian pasters along the sides of the vessel, and, when the ship's officers remonstrated at this hostile reception in a once friendly port, there were HI BOOK PLEDGES 5SE5 FASCISTS FOR NEW EVIDENCE i Hopes Facts Come ut "Before They Do Anything to My Poor Man" crossing gate and into a train in East Boston.

"The explanation of the source of this money offered by defendant was incredible," the opinion stated, "and we find not the slightest evidence to corroborate it. "The defendant's handling of the Justice Thomas W. Trench-ard, who originally sentenced Hauptmann on February 13 after a jury had found him guilty of murder, is expected to set a new date for the prisoner's execution this week and it will be necessary for defense lawyers to obtain a stay from the New Jersey high court to pursue their appeal. When informed of the decision by Fisher, Hauptmann, who had not left his cell in the death house of the State prison, was reported to have swallowed hard once and then exclaimed in a- distressed voice "My God, won't this be a terrible anniversary present for Annie."
