Writ
of
Habeas
Corpus
Denied
Ilauptmann
by
United

Federal

Court
TRENTON,
NJ,
Jan.
15:
nruno
Richard
Ilauptmann,
con
demned
to
go
to
the
electric
chair
on
Friday
evening:
for
the
kidnap
murder
of
Charles
Augustus
Lindbergh
jr.,
lost
another
faint
hope
in
his
eleventh
hour
fight
against
execution
last
evening
when
Judge
Davis,
in
federal
district
court,
finding
that
he
had
been
"fairly
tried
and
convicted,"
denied
a
writ
of
habeas
corpus
to
the
condemned
man's
counsel.
The
case,
it
is
now
understood,
will
be
carried
back
to
the
Supreme
Court
of
the
United
States.
Governor
Harold
Hoffman
has,
as
yet,
made
no
move
to
grant
a
reprieve
to
Ilauptmann.
All
that
Hoffman
could
do,
it
is
said
in
legal
circles,
would
be
to
delay
the
execution
thirty
days
and
his
authority
to
do
that
is
questioned.
Habeas
corpus
proceedings
in
the
federal
district
court
were
based
yesterday
on
alleged
sequestration
of
the
jury
at
the
original
trial
at
Ilemlngton.
"The
whole
thing
is
a
fraud
and
a
subterfuge,"
declared
Attorney
General
David
Wilcnti
in
replying
to
the
sequestration
charges.
"The
defence
never
complained
during
the
trial
and
it
was
only
after
the
conviction
that
they
protested."
The
defence
was
given
a
chance
to
examine
everything
that
was
presented
in
evidence,
answered
Wilcntz
in
reply
to
a
charge
that
Hauptmann's
counsel
had
been
denied
the
right
to
examine
the
ransom
note.

TRADE
OF
CANADA
UP
Exports
in
Many
Lines
Showed
Increase
With
Gain
in
Imports
Not
so
Marked
OTTAWA,
Jan.
15:
(CP)
The
Important
gain
In
Canada's
external
trade
was
a
feature
of
the.
economic
betterment
of
the
year,
ac-
,
cording
to
Hon.
W.
D.
Euler,
minis
ter
of
trade
and
commerce.
As
wholesale
prices
remained
fairly
stable
hi
the
last
two
years,
the
gain
in
the
volume
of
the
trade
corresponded
rather
closely
with
the
increase
in
the
value.
The
best
available
method
of
appraising
the
trend
of
Canadian
trade
ls
to
compare
the
statistics
for
the
first
10
months
of
1935
with
the
level
of
the'
same
period
of
the
preceding
year.
The
exports
of
Canadian
produce
were
valued
at
$578,800,000
in
the
available
period
of
1935
against
$526,900,000
In
the
same
months
of
1934.
The
gain
of
9.57c,
while
by
no
means
spectacular,
must
be
considered
satisfactory.
Eight
of
the
nine
groups
of
the
chief
component
material
classification
showed
gains
in
this
comparison.
The
ex-
ception
was
the
group
of
crop
pro-1
ducts
which
showed
a
decline
of
3.
The
outward
shipment
of
animal
products
was
accelerated
to
the
extent
of
18.
The
two
classes
of
crop
and
animal
products
consist;
ing
of
farm
products
and
goods
manufactured"
therefrom
showed
a
gain
of
$7,860,000.
Textile
exports
showed
the
largest
percentage
gain
of
28.3,
but
the
absolute
increase
was
unimportant.
The
exports
of
wood
and
paper
reached
the
relatively
high
total
of
$142,000,000,
a
gain
of
8.2
over
the
same
period
of
