it intervene in his' fight to escapedeath in the electric chair for thekidnaping of Charles Augustus Lind-bergh Jr.

Unless Hauptmann's attorneyscan obtain a writ of habeas corpusby convincing the courts that newand important evidence in the casehas been uncovered, only the NewJersey board of pardons can nowsave him from the electric chair.
