...Richard Hauptmann, the 34-year-old German carpenter whom the people of the State of New Jersey charge with first degree murder. Hauptmann's wife Anna and their infant son Mannfried have been living in a Flemington boarding house ever since he was extradited from New York. Townsfolk nod kindly to her as she walks down the main street with her son. His jailers also say that Bruno is "a nice guy." But ever since he has been in the Flemington cell, hard electric lights have burned on Hauptmann day & night while three guards have stood outside his cell...
