Lawyer Leibowitz Sees Hauptmann in Death House
New York criminal attorney Samuel Leibowitz spent about three hours and forty minutes with Bruno Hauptmann in the death house in Trenton New Jersey. After the interview he suggested progress but gave no clear verdict on a reprieve. Leibowitz then went to discuss with Governor Harold Hoffman, who once stayed a prior execution. The governor has not announced a new death date, though state attorneys expect one to be set between March 2 and April. The Trenton interview was the longest Hauptmann has had with his counsel since conviction.
