Hauptmann Fights Execution as Court Refuses Commutation
Bruno Hauptmann, facing execution for the Lindbergh kidnapping and murder, fights on through his lawyers after New Jersey’s court of pardons rejected commuting his sentence. Governor Hoffman’s stance leaves a possible clemency chance unlikely, while defense counsels consider appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court. Hauptmann maintains his innocence and disputes the source of the ransom money, naming Isador Fisch. The article also notes a bonus payment bill movement in Congress and Cuba’s election where Miguel Gomez won the presidency amid a high participation by women.
