J., April 1. ? The hour of death ? 8 p. n. Friday ? was appointed again for Bruno Richard Hauptmann tonight, but there was a fair chance that his incredible luck would hold, and that he would live thr ough the summer. Hla clipped skull still gleaming from the hair cut he got In pre paration for the electric chair, Hauptmann slept past 10 o'clock this morning and ate a substanti al breakfast. At 9 a. m. tomorrow, the Mercer County grand Jury resumes its de liberations on the case of Paul H. Wendell, the disbarred Trenton Lawyer who confessed the Lind bergh murder and then repudiat ed it. Hauptmann's life hangs on the decision of that jury of 22 men and a woman ? plain, ordin ary people whohave shifted thr spotlight from Trenton state pri son to themselves. Anything Can Happen They can keep Hauptmann a live even past Friday, simply by sitting still and doing nothing a bout the murder charge against Wendel. If the Jurors report "no Indictment" against Wendel. Hauptmann will die; if they indict him, his life may be spared for six months, although no one wig certain about that.; Attorney General David T. Wil entz walked down the state house corridor today, a cigar Jutting out of his mouth, and said: "I am n very confused young man right now." So was everyone else. Wilentz tried to bring order out of the confusion by asking the grand Jury if It would allow him to appear before it tomorrow, pre sumably to help straighten them out on puzzling phases of the Wendel case. Wendel made the same request. He had the reputation of being a brilliant lawyer before he got Into trouble with the law. His letter to the grand Jury was couch ed in precise legal terms. "Having some knowledge of the law,** It read. "I hereby state to you that I am willing to waive any rights ^r immunities that I may have, or any other protective cloak that the law may throw a round or give to a defendant charged with crime. "I also realize, and expressly agree that any statement or state ments that I may make before your body, if so granted the right to appear, may be used either for or against ine at any future time fir at any proceedings. Confession Untrue "The alleged confession is un true, made out of whole cloth, and I can demonstrate it to you con clusively if given the opportune 1 ity." The grand jury recessed at 4:30 p. m., after a day of routine in vestigation of other matters, and there was no Immediate indica tion whether Wendei's request would be. granted.
