MY theory is that whoever took tho
baby from the crib handed 1t ont tn
window to n confederate.
In the same connection Major Adams
said he wished to lay stress on the
statement that the kidnapping was not
an INSIDE job He is convinced that
no member Of the household was con

efforts to recover the baby, said Major
Adams. II still believe the child is
alive and have not lost hope of its ulti e
mate recovery. We are still following
| out every clue. no matter how remote.
1t seems to me very probabcl that there
will be results to show within II very
short time.
The new letters. like the others. were
addressed to George II. Coughlin, father
of the missing baby.

Both Mr.. COughlin and Major Lar.
zclrrr were questioned about the lot

ing to come from u woman. The letter
to which Mr.. Coughlin replied by q
newspaper advertisement in tn" per
