EFFORTS TO SAVE HAUPTMANN
WORLD-WIDE APPEAL FOR FUNDS FLEMINGTON, February 14. Mr Reilly (counsel for the defence in the Lindbergh baby case), who spent 10 minutes with Hauptmann in his cell to-day, said the prisoner, ho was engrossed in plans for the fight to be made to save his he, "is pretty well broken up by the sentence." Hauptmann was still insistent on his innocence, Mr Reilly said and was visibly shaken. He asked: How could anybody believe that I—the father of a child like my little Mannfried—could kill anyone else s baby?" Mr Reilly said that Hauptmann s lawyers were prepared to exhaust every last measure of the law to set aside the verdict. A world-wide appeal for new evidence would be broadcast and a "Hauptmann appeal fund" that would receive contributions from all sources would be established under the trusteeship of some bank.
