Hauptmann Reads Bible; Not Worrying, He States Kamenz, Germany, April Richard HaupUnann bolstered his mother's hopes that her son might yet live today with a letter declaring two witnesses who testified against him at hts trial for the Lindbergh kidnap-slaying committed perjury. Condemned to die in the electric chair tonight at Trcnjon, N. he assured the aged Frau Pauline Hauptmann that he believed Ihe execution never would be performed. "We have proof that two state witnesses committed perjury and 'H demand their arrest," Hauptmann wrote in his long letter from (he Trenton prison March 19. Without naming the witnesses, he described them as "one half blind, and the other promised a third of the reward." "Human hypocrisy may go far, but I still have so much confidence In humanity that-I believe it will shy from murdering an innocent," lie wrote.

He that "i.v to this minute I have not ever known where the Llndberglis' house is and never In all my life did I sec the murdered child." If the stale actually persisted in carrying out hts execution, he said, "lam not afraid of it." Fran Hauptmann, who received th? yesterday, appeared cheered by irr assurances. She rested last nlyht at the of friends, however, avoid another night of long waiting In own house. C. Lloyd Fisher, chief defense counsel demanded that tire Hunterdon County grand jury be convened to consider charges that Paul H. not Bruno Hauptmann the famous baby.

He directed his demand to Anthony M. Hauck, the Hunlerdon prosecutor who has been most vigorous in the efforts to see that the Hauptmann death sentence be carried out. The execution Li set 8 o'clock tonight. If Hauck refused to act, Fisher indicated he might caU upon Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, the trial judge, to order Hauck to convene the grand Jury and to Join In an effort to stay the execution.

The development brought swift.re- actlon. Hauck said he would confer with the attorney-general, David T. Wil- entz Immediately to determine what to do. He reiterated he would oppose any move to delay the execution. Col.

Martr O. Kimberllug, warden of the prison where final preparations have been made for the execution, came to the attorney general's office shortly' afterward, and it was apparent nriothcrof the Interminable climaxes of the famous case drawing near. Fisher's demand upon the Himlcr- rfon to act was based on the opinion that the crime of which Wendel is crime for which the gmnri Jury of Mercer County declined late last night to was committed In Hun- lerdon'County and therefore called for action there. Justice Trenchard, the trial judge, declined as recently as Tuesday to stay the execution, commenting that Ihe Wendel "confession" wns "Incredible." Attorney-Geneml WilenU, with whom Hauck conferred alter receiving the Fisher request, was chief prosecutor of Hauplmann and has never deviated from his belief that Hauptmann alone" did the Lindbergh kidnaping. The action, however, was seen as a development which Governor Harold G.

Hoffman might regard as sufficiently Important to move him io extend a second reprieve to the head already has been shaved a second for the executioner's electrode. Attorney General has described the Wendel development as "the vilest, lowest, meanest fraud" of the entire Hauptmann case; and (he Mercer grand jury which listened for two days to much testimony concerning the charges against Wendel wai authoritatively reported as ready to vote "no-bill" in the case. Expects Col. Kimberllng said shortly after noon that "as it stands now, it looks as though the execution will go through," but that he would have a further statement at p. in.

"From my dumb knowledge of the case, I am not sure It is settled," the warden said, referring to the Wendel "confession" angles and the grand jury investigation. When he left the attorney-general's office he said he had been promised a legal opinion as to his own position In the complicated and bewildering situation. The one thing certain was that the warden had in his possession a dealh warrant calling upon him to execute Hauptmann before the end of week of March tomorrow or midnight Sunday, he was-not sure which; and that some legal agency higher than himself would be needed to halt tonight's execution beyond the period specified In tho death Hauptmann, who has been living on "borrowed lime" for moro than a year due to appeals from his conviction and to one 30-day reprlove by the governor, had placr-d high hope. It was understood, in the grand investigation. If the jury indtclcd Wendel.

he felt, some way would'be found to delay execution until jury could on the Wendel charges. The jury's action In dropping tho case was just another example of the unexpectedness that has made tha Lindbergh case the most amazing in modern criminal history. The Jury voted neither an Indictment nor a "no bill." In effect, it lefC the status of Paul Wendel, the middle-aged prisoner, exactly where it was when they began consideration of the cose Tuesday. As Governor Hoffman's press aide, William S. Conklln.

expressed it: "After all, the action was During the day and night of star chamber proceeding that began before 10 o'clock yesterday morning and carried on, with only a. short mirt-afternoon break, until nearly Jurors examined Governor Hoffman himself, Attorney-General David T.
