TWELVE THE KOKOMO TRIBUNE, THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 14, 19315 DEFENDANT IS SENTENCED TO DIE IN CHAIR Flemington, N. Feb. 13--(AP)--Bruno Richard Hauptmnn was condemned to the electric chair tonight by the jury that tried him for the kidnap- murder of Baby Lindbergh. White and unshaven, he tottered slightly as he stood between his guards and heard himself ordered to "die in the electric chair." He was sentenced-to die in the week of March 18, but an almost certain appeal to the New Jersey court of appeals and errors would stay the executior- The high court is not likely to pass upon the appeal until late in May. The jury of eight men and four women spent 11 hours and 6 minutes in a bare roorri of the old courthouse where Hauptmann had been on trial since January 2 before they reached their verdict.

"We find the defendant, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, guilty of murder in the first degree," intoned Foreman Charles Walton, in the deathly silence. Sheriff John H. Curtiss heralded the return of the jury, shouting from- the library door of the century- old' courtroom. Under the five garish lights, newspapermen and lawyers had waited for hours in the littered little room, almost unbearably hot and stuffy. Court Crier Elmer, Hann, tall and bald, suddenly appeared, rising behind the bench, and adjusted the jurist's chsir.

Attorney General David-T. Wil- entz, pale, his tense with emotion, stiffened his shoulders. Troops Close Doors He. spoke to Col. H.

Norman Schwarzkopf, superintendent the state police, and Schwarzkopf moved down the aisle, ordering his troopers to close the doors. The florid Reilly. subdued in manner, stood upright in the space before the bench. Troopers stood at the alert about the little room, bright-figured in their sky-blue uniforms. Trooper Lewis J.

Bornmann, one of the men who found and handled the kidnap ladder down which baby Lindbergh was carried to his death on the night of March 1, -1932, stood near the jury box. Hauptmann'g Face Pale Dolefully, the bell high above began to toll. There'was a stir at the library door. The time was 10:31. Six state troopers entered.

Then came Hauptmann, between Deputy Sheriff Hovey Low and a state trooper, handcuffed to each, his face pale, his manner calm. A tenseness gripped the courtroom. A constable shouted "quiet, please." Out in the street, where a massed throng waited, someone set up a shout. It swelled into a prolonged yell. The jury filed in, took the seats SAYS IHDO-VIN IS MARVELOUS "What I Needed for My Deranged Organs" She Says; Was Almost a "Wreck in Health." Mrs.

Mrs. Verna Snyder. juror No. 3. appeared to have been crying, Hauptmann seemed unmindful of the bracelets on his wrist, gleaming brightly under the yellow lights.

C. Lloyd Fisher, one of his counsel whispered to him. Mrs. Hauptmann had come hurriedly up a side aisle as Hauptmann settled into his chair. He face was drained of color and she moved quickly.

She smiled and murmured to her husband. She sat motionless. The gurors' facas were grave as they answered "present." The court clerk called on them to rise. Justice Thomas W. Trenchard, benign, white-haired, said "let the defendant stand." Report Verdict of Guilty Hauptmann arose between his guards, straight as a ramrod.

"Members of the jury, have you agreed upon your asked Court Clerk Fell. The jurors: "We have." The court clerk: "Who shall speak for you?" The jurors chorused: "The fore- lan." Court Clerk Fell: "Mr. Foreman, what say you, do you find the defendant guilty or not guilty?" The foreman: "Guilty. We find defendant, Bruno Richard rlauptmann, guilty of murder in the first The court: "One moment. No person will leave the courtroom until the court is finished.

Stay right where you are." Court Clerk Fell: "Members of the jury, you have heard the verdict, that you find the defendant, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, guilty of murder in the first degree and so say you all." The jurors: "We do." Foreman's Voice Shakes Foreman Walton's voice was shaking, and the folded paper in lis hand trembled as he spoke the verdict. A gasp arose in the courtroom. The jurors were polled. Each repeated "guilty of murder in the first degree." Wilentz moved "for sentence of the defendant at this time," after Hauptmann had been seated. 'Let me have the indictment," said Justice Trenchard.

He discussed the law requiring sentence to be fixed within "a certain week" not less 'than four more than eight weeks after the issuance of the warrant. Then he told Hauptmann to stand again. "Bruno Richard Hauptmann, you have been convicted of murder in the first degree. Pronounces Death Sentence "The sentence of the court is that you, the said Bruno Richard Hauptmann, suffer death at the time and place and in the manner provided by law and the court will hand to the sheriff a warrant appointing the week beginning Monday, the J8th day of March, 1935, as the week within which such sentence must be executed in the manner provided by law. "You are now remanded to the custody of the sheriff." "You may retire." Later Justice Trenchard returned to the bench to deliver the warrant for Hauptmann's execution to the sheriff.

He must be removed to State's penitentiary at Trenton within 10 days but Sheriff Curtiss said he would not take him from the jail for at least 48 hours. However, he ordered the rule of silence that has been imposed in the prisoner's quarters lifted tonight and conversation between the prisoner and his guard will be permitted.

Feb. --Bruno Hauptmann, manacled and listening to.his doom, was silent.

Bruno Hauptmann, led back to his cell in the Hunterdon county jail, broke down and wept. Hearing jury and judge order him put to death as the killer of the Lindbergh baby, the Bronx carpenter spoke, only to comfort his wife. "It's all right, Annie," he said. But in the loneliness i of prison which has been his lot for five months he mumbled unintelligible German phrases. Hauptmann himself face down- on his bunk last night and wept.

Far into the night he sat down on the edge of the bunk, head in hands, still sobbing. His guards, who had been forbidden to talk to him during the day-and-night watch preceding the verdict, were freed from the order, but he had nothing to say to them. His iron nerve broke only after he had left the courtroom where his wife still sat, so motionless that she appeared afraid to move.
