Hauptmann Holds Fast To His Story In Death House Talk
Bruno Richard Hauptmann did not alter his account in a death house interview with new counsel Samuel Leibowitz, sticking to his Flemington tale stone by stone. Lutheran minister John Mathiesen said Leibowitz pressed Hauptmann on ransom and other points, but Hauptmann claimed the evidence was framed and that he spent March 1, 1935, in Frederiksen's bakery. An updated death warrant was expected for a new execution date between March 22 and April 26 after the 80 day reprieve expired.
