New York, Feb. 12. Mrs. Bruno Hauptmann, wife of the man who is under sentence of death for the murder and kidnapping of the baby son of Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh, to-day conferred with Mr. Samuel Leibowitz, the famous criminal lawyer, whose record of 112 acquittals in 116 murder cases is probably the most remarkable in the history of law,
After their talk, Mr. Leibowitz, gruff-voiced and un- communicative, said briefly:
"I do not propose to enter the case in order to play a game of legal chess to save Bruno from the chair.
"I am going to see him by the death house. He must tell me the whole truth or I won't lift a finger on his behalf.
**The contention that the Lindbergh kidnapping was a one- man job is nonsense. Perhaps Bruno can supply the clue. Therein Hes his only possible salvation from the chair."
