WASHINGTON, DEC. 10.

COUNSEL FÖR BRUNO RICHARD HAUPTMANN, WHO IS UNDER SENTENCE OF DEATH FOR THE MURDER OF CHARLES: A. LINDBERGH, JR., HAS WON FIRST BLOOD IN THE COURT FROM WHICH THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN NO APPEAL.

The United States Supreme Colrt has granted the appeal on behalf of Hamptmann by Egbert Rosenrans, the young New Jersey attorney who sat across the table from Hauptmann during the six weeks of the trial, that an appeal be allowed.

U. S. SHOCKED and February in the stuffy, white aste

New York, Dec. 1. Clark Gable, best-loved idel of women film fans sinco Valentino, has worked so hard to please his public that he has sacrificed his own domestic happiness.

This Was the explanation given to-day by his friends of the breach which has occurred bolween the handsome lilm star and his second wife, Rhen, who has been married twice before.

The Gables have been living apart for some months and at present they have 3,000 miles of the American Continent between them, the actor living in n Now York hotel and his wife remain- ing in Hollywood.

Mrs. Gable said that she in- "Tends to file 'a'sult for divorce as soon as the legal formalities per- mit.

CULTURED WIFE

The shipwreck of the Gables' married happiness, has caused a' greater shock to the film public

than any similar breach since Mary Pickford's separation from Douglas Fairbanks.

The couple were married in June, 1931, and it is since that date that Clark Gabie's rise to the peak of popularity has taken place.

He crowned his performance last year with the award of the Motion Picture Academy's medal for his work in "It Happened Ope Night."

Mrs. Gablo is a cultured woman and a charming hostess, who has devoted herself to ad- vancing her husband's career, and the couple were believed to be ideally mated.

The actor is 34 and his wife 11 yonra older. Friends believe that this disparity in age, coupled with Chark Gablo's preoccupation with his career, led to domestic fric- tion.

AMBITIOUS

Mrs. Gable said "he was tired and overworked. Therefore he be

arose."

Josephine Dillon, Clark Gable's first wife, who is a dramatie coach at Hollywood, made the following comment on the separation:
