Lindbergh kidnaping, was very

to the Lindbergh baby.
"They would be married now," he

Johnson lives at a Brooklyn
rootning house. The police searched
a room which he said Henry had
occupied until late Thursday night,
when he decided to visit his brother,
John, at Hartford.
Fred said he was certain Henry
had no connection with the kidnap-
ing. He came from Norway nine
years ago, he said, and has never
been in trouble. When police
brought up the fact that a milk
bottle had been found In the rumble
seat of an aut6 which Henry was
driving in Hartford, Fred reminded
them that his brother John, in

He paused several times during
a court session to inquire of the

IS CIILIED'INSIDE JOB'
New Haven Man Once Abduct-
ed Says Captors* Hardest
Job Is to Get Ransom.
Hew Haven, Conn., Mar. 5.—(JP)—
Max Price, victim of Connecticut's
most recent kidnaping, labeled the
abduction of Charles A. Lindbergh,
Jr., as an "inside Job" today as the
search for the famous aviator's 20-
month-bld son was centered In this
state.
*T really believe It to have been
a plot of that kind." said the
wealthy mortgage broker, who in
1930 was held eight days by kid-
napers for $25,000 ransom.
"The kidnaping of the child was
the easiest part of the bold, brazen
plot. The kidnapers now face their
most difficult task—and that is
continuing their communications
with the family for the ransom
which they are supposed to have
demanded."
Price said the publicity given the
Lindbergh kidnaping "will undoubt-
edly cause the kidnapers to be more
careful than ever in dealing with
members of the famous aviator's
family."
The broker was abducted near his
home here January 28, 1930 by
three men. Eight days later, dis-
heveled and at the point of collapse,
he wandered into the Bridgeport
railroad station. He told police he
had been blindfolded and dropped
from an automobile after promising
to pay the ransom. The money,
however, was never paid.
*1 could never again experience
what I did in 1930 at the hands of
the kidnapers who abducted me,"
he said today. "I should prefer
death. In all the time I was in the
hands of the kidnapers. I could
only sleep a total of but eight short
hours."
Two reputed members of the
••Purple gang" of Detroit were ar-
rested In New York for the kid-
naping, but released when they es-
tablished an alibi.
ly as possible. I also think they
should follow closely all Instruc-
tions of the police.
"No one can realize the mental
agonies these people are suffering.
That is the most tragic part of a
case like this.
"The anxiety and the strain—it
takes years from life."
Whitla was eight years old when
he was kidnaped from his parents,
wealthy residents of Sharon. He
finally was released in Cleveland,
after his father paid the ransom
of $10,000.
James Boyle and Anna McDer-
mott later were accused of the
crime and were sentenced to the
f western penitentiary. Boyle died a
ew years ago in prison and the
McDermott woman was paroled
after serving the greater part of a
25-year sentence.

London, Mar. 5.—(/P)—The Daily
Express said this morning the rel-

Gow, nurse for Charles Augustus
Lindbergh, Jr., have refused to talk
of the kidnaping of the 4)aby lest
it provoke "gang vengeance" on
Betty, from whom they have not
heard since the kidnaping took
place.
The paper quoted a Mrs. Taylor,
whom it described as Betty's moth-
er as saying:
"She has an excellent position in
the Lindbergh family and has been
with them very happily since be-
fore the baby was bom."
The Dally Mail, however, said
Glasgow police tried to locate Miss
Gow's relatives but had not suc-

Mrs. DeJute's message said:
"My son, Jimmy, was kidnaped a
few hours after your child. I am
suffering the same heartaches that
you are and am praying that God
may send them both back to us.
I feel in my heart that when your
child is returned, mine also will be
returned to me."

partly in Hunterdon. The Mercer
prosecutor will "grant any conces-

today because her crying baby jig-
gled the phone receiver off the
hook. Just another false alarm!
Philadelphia — A fireman's
wife, innocently carrying her
baby out of a subway kiosk,
was surrounded by detectives In
a twinkling.
New York—Any baby fingerprints
found on the Lindbergh child's toys
may be useful, police experts say.
Even if Charles stays missing until
he's 50 years old, they would be a
sure means of identification then.
Sharon, Pa.—"The anxiety and

He was kidnaped 20 years ago in a
nationally famous case. His father

Mrs. Evangeline Lindbergh, mother
of the colonel, conducted her chem-
istry classes as usual, while in

Nearly 500 boys and girls in safety
patrols and service squads in Battle
Creek and nearby public schools at-
tended a meeting held for them at
Southwestern auditorium this morn-
ing by the Automobile Club of Mich-
igan.
Mayor Is Speaker
Mayor William P. Penty talked to
the pupils and several teachers who
attended, thanking them and the
Automobile club which organized the
safety patrols for their work In sav-
ing lives. They were also helping
the city to save money, he said, by
taking the places of policemen at
school crossings. John Simpson,
commissioner of public safety, also
thanked them for the people of Bat-
tle Creek.
Teachers Remembered
Dr. W. G. Coburn, superintendent
of schools, expressed his apprecia-
tion and that of the teachers to the
children and H. O. Rounds, director
of safety and traffic for the Automo-
bile club, addressed the groups,
thanking the teachers especially for
their work in the organization of the
patrols and service squads.
. After the talks the children were
shown two reels of comic motion
pictures. As they were leaving the
building motion pictures were taken
of the children and teachers, to be
shown at other schools In Michigan
where safety patrols are organized.
Mr. Rounds accompanied Dr. Coburn
to the Ann J. Kellogg school and
took pictures of that model building
after the safety patrol gathering.

City, Mo., Mar. 5.—W—
Thirty-two years ago the "horse and
bugty" era* enjoying life without
benefit of the airplane, radio and
motor car, was astounded by the
bold kidnaping of "Eddie" Cudahy.
"Eddie," 15-year-old sdon of the
famous parking family, disappeared
as completely from his home in
Omaha, Neb., as did Charles A.
Lindbergh, Jr., from his crib at
Hopewell, N. J.'
A new age has brought Innova-
tions, speeded transportation and
communication, but. in the opinion
of 32 years ago, has added noth-
ing to the efficiency of kidnapers.
"Eddie," now better known as
Edward A. Cudahy, Jr., president of
the big packing company bearing
his—name, made the comment in
connection with the recent abduc-
tion In Kansas City of Mrs. Nell
Donnelly, wealthy garment manu-
facturer, by motor car.
Mrs. Donnelly was freed without
the payment of ransom. Four of the
alleged kidnapers were arrested.
"Mine used a horse and buggy, but
they got the money," said Mr.
Cudahy.
Nebraska statutes of that day
made no provision for punishment
of kidnapers unless the victim was
less than 10 years old. Pat Crowe,
admitted leader of the kidnapers,
and Jim Callahan, his aide, each
eventually was acquitted of robbing
"Eddie's" father of $25,000, the
amount of ransom paid by the elder
Cudahy.
No evidence could be presented
that Pat Crowe or Callahan had re-
ceived the money.
Crowe, now lecturing as a "re-
formed criminal" has interested
himself actively in the Lindbergh
case. Ftom Scran ton. Pa, he tele-
graphed Colonel Lindbergh an of-
fer of assistance. Advising that no
reward be offered for the kidnapers
and that the ransom be paid, Crowe
declared he would be glad to serve
as a "go-between" In the settlement.
Young Cudahy was seized by
Crowe and Callahan as he left his
home early In the evening to visit
a neighbor. The abductors placed
him between them in a buggy and
drove hurriedly to an Isolated resi-
dence they previously had rented.
The next day, while Omaha was
in turmoil, telegraph wires sang with
the story, and police combed the
city, Crowe rode past the Cudahy
home astride a horse and tossed a
letter demanding the ransom in-
side the yard.
After consulting with friends, Ed-
ward A. Cudahy, Sr., obtained the
$25,000 in gold demanded In the
letter. He then drove a single-
seated open buggy five miles south
of Omaha on the Fremont road and
left a satchel containing the money
beside a smoky lantern swinging
on a stick beside the highway.
The youth was freed near the
Cudahy residence shortly after mid-
night, and walked into his mother's
arms at the door.
Callahan soon was captured.
Crowe evaded arrest for nearly six
years. He was reported In Chicago,
In London, and South Africa. Fre-
quently he wrote letters to Omaha
newspapers. Finally he surrendered
at Butte, Mont., after exacting a
promise that the reward on his
head would be rescinded.

Reporters were also told that
there was no basis for rumors that
Colonel Lindbergh himself had flown
to Hartford during the night in con-
nection with Investigation of his
baby's kidnaping.
The police said Lindbergh was
still In his home but they would not
say whether Mrs. Lindbergh and her
mother were still there.

"The Lindberghs are carrying on
with a courage not often seen,"
declared Gov. A. Harry Moore, after
visiting them to inform them of
developments in the hunt he Is di-
recting. %
No Mercy from State
Although the - Lindberghs had
pledged themselves not to harm the
kidnapers if they should move to re-
turn the child. It appeared today
that the state of New Jersey was
not taking the same stand. Attor-
ney General William A. Stevens In-
dicated the criminals would be mis-
taken If they expected mercy from
his law enforcement organization.
He said he planned to take per-
sonal charge, continue to try to net
the kidnapers and give them a taste
of "Jersey Justice."
CoL Lindbergh turned down an-
other proposal by some of his ad-
visers that'he dismiss the police from
Ids estate In order to give the kid-
napers a dear path to return the
child. Officials said he considered
Ills pledge was enough that if he
cleared the estate it might be looked

F. Scott. Chicago psychiatrist and
criminologist, declared Friday that
"cranks" who write letters to the
Lindberghs In an effort to mislead
them with threats and veiled In-
ferences are "mental sadists."
The term "psychopathic inferior-
ity" Is frequently used to describe
such persons, who are usually on
the border line of actual Insanity—
Dr. Scott said.
"Such people are unable to con-
trol their desires and emotions along
certain lines," he said. "They are
Impulsive in conduct and thelr
psychlc response to situations is not
the same as ours because there Is

SEEKING MISSINC GIRL
Mrs. Louise Brown, 361 East
Michigan Avenue, Hunts
17-Year-Old Daughter.
A Battle Creek mother hitch-
hiked to Grand Rapids and back in
a desperate attempt to locate her
missing daughter but her search
was fruitless.
The girl. Louise Brown. 17, stu-
dent at Southwestern junior school^
daughter of Mrs. Louise Brown. 361
East Michigan avenue, has been
missing from her home since Tues-
day morning. Police, radio station
WELL and the state police radio
station at Lansing have cooperated
in the search but without success.
The girl left home with a girl
companion named Mae Mack who
lives In Grand Rapids. Believing
the two girls had gone to Grand
Rapids Policewoman Vera Stevens
communicated with the ; oilcewom-
an In that city and asked her to In-
vestigate. Mrs. Stevens was told the
house where the Grand Rapids girl
lived was in a tough section of the
city and any effort by police to in-
vestigate would probably bring no
results.
Mrs. Brown then decided that she
would go to Grand Rapids and be-
ing a stranger believed she could
make Inquiries without suspicion.
Not having money she went to
Grand Rapids by obtaining rides In
automobiles. Once in that city she
located the girl's rooming place and
learned that she was missing also
but had taken no clothes besides
what she was wearing. Mrs. Brown
hitch-hiked her way back to Battle
Creek the same evening.
When the two girls left Battle
Creek Tuesday morning they said
they were to meet a boy friend of
the Grand Rapids girl. They never
met him, however, and are believed
to have hitch-hiked to some neigh-
boring city. The Brown girl does
not have any relatives In the state
and her family can offer no sugges-
tion as to where she might be.

First Session of Group Hera to
Discuss Plans Is Sched-
uled for Monday.
First meeting of the local citi-
zens reconstruction committee
which will work in cooperation with
the federal organization headed by
Col. Frank Knox of Chicago will be
held Monday.
XL C. Nettels, chairman of the
committee, has been gathering in-
formation and instructions on the
nature of the effort to be under-
taken here and will be ready to dis-
cuss plans with his committee next
week. Other members of the com-
mittee are E. R. Morton, C. Edwin
Kaye, Eugene McKay and W. J.
Smith.
CondlUons Much Better
When the local committees start
to work through the country they
will find conditions far more en-
couraging than when the federal
organization was created.
During the first five weeks of this
year, $60,000,000 was being with-
drawn from banks throughout the
country each week. This was the
peak of the hoarding panic.
With the creation of the federal
reconstruction organization, with
Colonel Knox as the national head
and with chairmen selected for
each state in the union, the with-
drawals, which threatened to starve
business and of course had already
restricted business dangerously, be-
gan to diminish. Soon the tide
turned the other way and a recent
report from Colonel Knox on the
effects of his organization's adver-
tising such as has appeared In the
Enquirer and News reveals that
hoarded money Is now being re-
turned to banks at the rate of $20,-
000,000 a day. The effect of this on
the country Is noticeable in the
new confidence evident in business
and financial circles.
Expresses Appreciation
Colonel Knox included in his re-
port an expression of appreciation
to newspapers for publishing the
advertising without charge. None
of the advertising is paid for.

valued at between $800 and $000
irly this morning.
The loot consisted of 16 women's

the theft occurred shortly before
that time. Apparently the thief
was aided by a companion who
kept watch on the street.
Grate Fried Loose
After discovery of the theft po-
lice summoned Joseph Weiss, man-
ager of the store, who estimated
the loss at between $800 and $800.
Many other valuable articles in the
window were untouched.
Early this morning detectives
discovered the glass from the front
door of the Atlantic and Pacific
store removed. A grate over the
glass had been pried loose. The
manager of the store, R. N. Fleisher,
was called and made a check of his
stock. He found 95 cans of smok-
ing tobacco missing, 66 packages of
chewing tobacco and 20 packages of
cigarets.

Chief Hugh Gordon today de-
clared war on reckless taxi cab and
dehvery truck drivers In Battle
Creek following scores of complaints
from local motorists.
The chief and John Simpson,
commissioner of public safety, have
decided to take drastic action in an
effort to curb an increasing num-
ber of minor accidents caused by
reckless driving.
Heretofore the offenders have been
dealt with by the traffic bureau but
Chief Gordon said today that in
the future they will be taken into
Justice court. The chief says he
has received reports that several
taxi and delivery truck drivers fall
to carry chauffeur's licenses when
driving. Those without licenses who
are arrested for traffic offenses will
be arraigned in Justice court on dis-
orderly charges, the chief says, and
their licenses will be revoked.
Both the chief and Commission-
er Simpson have received numerous
complaints that taxis and delivery
trucks are speeding, recklessly cut-
ting In ahead of other automobiles
and taking curves at a high rate of
speed. '

For Bird Life
Opinion that the birds' nesting
places along the Battle creek and
Kalamazoo river are being destroyed
by the city's river cleaning crew
was expressed yesterday by E. M.
Brigham Jr., assistant curator of
the public school's museum.
"That's a misunderstanding," T.
Clifton Shepherd said today.
"Conditions are going to be made
much better for the birds," the land-
scape architect for the city declared.
"Instead of the rubbish and un-
dergrowth which Is being cleaned
out in some places, berry bushes
and seed bearing trees will be plant-
ed. There will be more food for the
birds. A greater variety of birds
will be Interested in making their
nests. We're going to have cedars
and evergreens set out. That will
appeal to many birds which seek
out those varieties.
"Mr. Brigham's concern about de-
stroying the birds' nesting places
shows the right spirit." Mr. Shep-
herd stated, "because the birds cant
have too many friends. But the riv-
er clean-up is not clearing out such
places.
"The best illustration of what the
birds like Is shown in Irving park.
When the park department first
went to work in Irving park there
were hardly any birds there. Natural
surroundings were not right, either
for food or protection. Now that the
park is grown up with trees and
food-bearing shrubbery the birds
flock there in great numbers.**
On his way to work this morning
Mr. Shepherd stopped In the park,
he said, and spent several minutes
watching the many blue birds, car-
dinals and robins in the park.
