The stale constitution permits . a governor to grant reprieves up “to not more than 90 days after the date of conviction". Hauptmann was convicted in Flemington last January, but Hoffman and other governors have construed the clause to mean that conviction dates from the time the last appeal is refused. “But I cfont know whether 1'1! igrant a reprieve,” Hoffman said with a harassed air. “I don’t know what I’m going to do and I have no comment beyond that.” He reneged in New York last night on his previously declared intention of ordering Dr. John F.

Finnigan, a Chicago lawyer, brought a slim new hope to Hauptmann today. Finnigan flew from Chicago to New Jersey to tell Gov. Hoffman about a fan taHtic tale told hfm by a Client, Steve Spits, 52, nerving time in Chicago for passing a bad cheek. Spits said that two New York “brokers," whom he named, offer ed him $20,000 of the Lindbergh ransom money in 1934 for SI,BOO. He gave them the SI,BOO, he said, but didn't get the currency. He suggested Hauptmann might have obtained some of the ransom money the same way. Hoffman said lie would “be glad to see Finnigan." Hauptmann entered his fifth day before death, unless something saves him. with much less exhibition of emotion than the minor characters around him. Waiting less than 30 feet from the electric chair for the time when he will die in it, he spent Sunday calmly reading and sleeping.

NOTED THEATER MAN FOUND DEAD S. L. Rothafel, “Roxy”, Is Found Dead Os Heart Attack New York, Jan. 13—-(U.R) —S. L. Rothafel, who became nationally known in the entertainment world, as “Roxy.” was found dead in bed I in his suite at the Hotel Gotham today. He was 52, The noted producer, credited [ with raising motion picture stage ' show* to the level of spectacles, died in his sleep. A maid summoned help when she was unable to arouse him. Rothafel had lived at the hotel ' with his wife. She is survived al- ' so by the children, Arthur, now in California, and Mrs. George Bigur. Samuel Lionel Rothafel, better known throughout the theatrical world as “Roxy,” was born in Stillwater, Minn., on July 9, 1882. Up to his 12th year when lie came . to New York, he had had a pre-, carious elementary school eduea- * tion. In New York he became a cashboy in a 14th street department ■ store and then worked at other • I odds and ends of employment until 1899 when he began to walk ’ the city blocks as a book agent | for the Stoddard lectures. I At 18 he joined the marines and ' saw service in China during the Boxer rebellion. He also spent montlis in Santo Domingo with the Devil Dogs. He remained in uni form from 1900 to 1907. In 1907 he secured his honorable 1 discharge and made his first ven- ’ ture in the show business. This ! was at Forest City, Penn., and it was in connection with a job as bartender. In a crammed room behind the bar he began showing motion pictures. There were no cushioned seats and lavish stage shows in this first Roxy theater. > The local undertaker furnished him wjth 250 folding chairs. The screen was the sheet from Roxy’s bed. He showed three single reels i for a nickel. Roxy worked hard at this thca- [ trical gamble. He painted his own scenery, he lettered his own handbills, he cleaned and operated his

own projecting machine. He even swept out the theater and announced the program, as was the custom in the early cinematic days. In the early cold dawn he would rise at 4 in the morning, plough through the snew to Carbondale, fee ven miles from Forest City and then trudge back again, lugging an old Vitagraph reel. At 9:30 that evening he would run it off for an audience sometimes composed only of four people. He studied his audiences from the first and tried to give them what they liked. With an idea now of what he wanted to do in life, he went to Minneapolis and operated a theater there on a modest scale. Next he went to Milwaukee where he ran the old Alhambra. He was coming up. New York heard of him and in 1913 he came to Broadway in a house on 116th street and 7th avenue. First Roxy was at the Regent, then at the Strand. When the Strand opened—then tho largest motion picture house in the world—Roxy became it managing

director. Similar positions followed at the Rialto, the Rivoli, and the Capitol. Roxy shows had become famous in New York for the color and glamor of the stage, effects and novelty of presentation. Radio arose as a factor in the entertainment business and Roxy was right on hand to take part in it. During a program he mention ed that close friends called him by the nickname of “Roxy” and “Roxy" he was known by from then on. o — Jefferson High To Present Operetta The glee clubs of the Jefferson high school will present the operetta. “Miss Cherry Blossom," at th* high school auditorium Wednesday and Thursday, January 29 and 30.
