A clerk at the hearing table leaped to his feet. A policeman in the rear stood up. The clerk moved slowly toward McNair as cries of "throw him out” were heard in the room."

The prisoner pressed his slim, athletic body against the front bars of death cell No. 9 in the New Jersey state prison and gazed up at a skylight which showed him the rays of the sun. His eyes were red from weeping. Deep lines of fatigue — hehas not slept since 10:30 a. m. Monday—cut into his pale convex face. His body trembled and. when Kimberling walked through the barred door of the death house, Hauptmann was weeping and unable to control himself. The head keeper, questioned the guards who had stood all night beside the ever-illuminated cell and ordered that extraordinary precautions be taken, such as removal of bedding and pencils. it was a story of hysteria that the guards told Kimberling; hysteria that fitted well into the fantastic picture of America's greatest criminal mystery and into the frenzied developments of the last four days. Last night when Hauptmann was informed that the court of pardons and Governor Hoffman had refused finally and definitely to delay execution, he shouted that he didn’t believe it; that it was impossible. But within a few hours his demeanor had completely changed. He paced his cell, babbled about his innocence and wrote farewell letters to his mother in Germany.
