BRUNO TD FILE PAUPER PLEA IN APPEAL MOVE Petition Asking State to Pay Cost May Be Given Court Today. By United Press TRENTON. N. J., Feb. 18.—The first legal step in Bruno Richard Hauptmann’s appeal from the death sentence will be made today or tomorrow. A pauper’s petition requesting the state to pay for printing the trial record will be presented to Supreme Court Justice Thomas W. Trenchard. This document, already signed by Hauptmann, will simply state the condemned man has no assets. A transcript of the 1,600,000 words of testimony at the trial is necessary for the Court of Errors and Appeals. While the appeal machinery was getting under way. Hauptmann rested peacefully in his cell in the death house of the state prison. Only a few feet distance was the door leading to the electric chair, but the prisoner seemed unmindful of it. Col. George L. Selby, acting principal keeper, said Hauptmann had been quiet at all times. He spends much time sitting on his cot smoking one cigaret after another. Col. Selby attributed the prisoner’s calm to his German army training. Resentment of other prisoners against Hauptmann, which was evidenced by boos on his arrival, seemed to have disappeared. The death house was quiet Sunday.
