Attor^ ney General David T. Wilentz mov ed for the immediate sentencing of Hauptmann. Edward J. Reilly, chief defense counsel, announced tonight he would appeal the death sentence of Bruno Richard Hauptmann "to the highest court in the land." Bruno Richard Hauptmann was convicted today of the murder ci the Lindbergh baby during its knusap ping three years ago. The verdict carries a death sentence. The jury of eight men and four women deliberated for 11 hours and 6 minutes before reaching the ver dict - - ? . .1 Houptmann was led into tne iw^ room at 10:30 p. m. Mrs. Haupt mann arrived a few minutes later. The' defendant was pale and fie shiffled along between his guards, without the snappy walk he had ef fected previously. Hauptmann took his customary seat in the front row. Mrs. Hauptmann "entered a minute later, and took a seat near her hus band. Mrs. Hauptmann sat down near husband, pale, and with a we&rly almost defeated motion. Hundreds of persons thronged main street in front of the court* house, flares set off by photograph ers threw a blinding light over the persons and outlined the courthouse plainly. The jury entered a few minutes later. They were serious faced as they rook their places in the box. Hauptmann was cheered during the wait hy his counsel, C. Floyd Fisher. All looked towards the jurors as they filed into the box. They took their places, after their coats were put in the customary places. The jury was polled separately and all answered "guilty of murder in first degvee." The Jury rose and Hauptmann rose to face them. "Gentlemen of the jury have you reached your verdict," the cleric ask ed. "We have," they chorused tremul ously. "Who shall speak for you." "The foreman." "What is your verdict?" Foreman Walton, his hands trem bling greatly, unfolded a rustling paper. Hauptmann stood up as ttte rendered their verdict. * Wilentx moved for immediate sen tence and Trenchard said: "The court will soon proceed to I impose sentence." I "Guilty," Walton gulped, "guilty of muider in the first degree." Reiily asked die jury be polled. Trenchard set the week of March | 18 for death of Hauptmann. , "Set say all of you ?" asked the An assenting murmur went through the jurors. The jurors answered the poll in quivering voices, most with an ob vious great effort. "The defendant may stand," Jus tice Trenchard said.

In addition to the representatives I of the growers; ranging from one to J six for each state, there were about! 15 members of Congress present. > | The bill differs from control! measures already enacted for cotton! and tobacco in that it will be the! first measure national in its scope,! ?nd that it is the only such bill yet! proposed for a commodity on which! no processing tax is levied. This latter circumstance means that there will Jbe no question of 1 cooperating growers or non-cooper-J ating growers, as the absence of a processing tax means that there are no funds from which 'cooperating J growers could be paid. Another point of difference is that ! allotments will be made solely on I the basis of poundage, with no con sideration for acreage. The basis of allotments has been I j changed entirely, with each grower I permitted to select his best three J ^ years during the seven-year period from 1927 to 1938, inclusive, thus , removing the increased acreages in I j 1984 which brought about the price* |. depressing surplus that led to wide- L spread sentiment for the bill. ( At a previous meeting here, Con-1 necticut was the only state to vote I. against the measure, with several ( other states answering "present." Today Connecticut was joined by Massachusetts, New York and l( Pennsylvania. Those answering "present" were I ( reduced to one state, Nebraska, I ] while California representatives had j left the room before the vote was j taken. ' ' .1 The following states supported the j ( bill: North Carolina, South Carolina, L Virginia, Maryland, Florida, Ala bama, Minnesota,. Wisconsin, Ohio, I Michigan, Idaho, Kansas, West Vir- , ifinia, Maine, New Jersey and Illi-! j nois. Maine and Idaho, the two largest L producers, .were reported enthusias- h tic for the plan. , As the bill is now written, it will , become effective 100 days after its ( signature by the President The tax j will be no less than 50 nor more { than 75 cents on each 100 pounds aver the quota of the. grower. L At the instance of Mr. Warren, j ? the bill was amended so as to pro- ? ride that the tax should be collected J through stamps affixed to the pack- < ages instead of by reports made by , the growers. There are exemptions for own use ( and pp to 300 pounds. < < DR.

More than 200 representative busi ness men and tobacco growers from 23 tobacco growing counties met in Farmville Monday and adopted reso lutions. against the proposed increase in the 1936 tobacco crop. Presided oyer by Dr. |i. T. Frizzelle of Ayden, the assembly named a com mittee of 11 to go to Washingtqp on Thursday and present the "true senti ments of the tobacco belt" to AAA officials and members of the State Congressional delegation. Governor Ehringhaus, who took a prominent' part on the crop control campaign last year, was invited to head the del egation and his tentative acceptance was announced. ? r, ' * it'-i i.1. ^ I Hearing fears expressed mat uici proposed increase of the AAA wonldl result in a tobacco crop of upward! of 800,000,000 pounds and a disas trous price scale, the delegates I adopted a resolution calling for an I increase under no circumstances of more than 80 per cent of base acre-1 age, and that the increase be used! to take care of inequalities con fronting small growers under the] 1934 allotmenta The allotment of 70 per cent of base .acreage last year resulted in a crop of 730,000,000 pounds even with! the short crop in Georgia. W. P. Anderson, secretary-treas-1 arer of the Whitehead-Anderson To bacco Co., of Wilson, told the meet ing that high prices did not cause the export business to China to fall aff last year, but the unfavorable iollar exchange, and he declared that I increasing the crop would not ma terially help the export business. .
