,ed- bearded E. s. whitehead livl ing near Wertsviile.
 Colonel Schwartzkopf made 1t clear that no information concern- ing LindberRf's own efforts to find the kidnapers would be made known through the police. He said:
 i've cannot discuss such things as matters pertaining to the prf- yate affairs, habits and health of the Lindbergh family. Any private negotiations that are being made are strictly personal with the fam lily. The present condition of Mrs Lindbergh's health is such that we can not interfere with the privacy of the family"
 Mrs Lindbergh. appeared on the grounds of the estate yesterday ap- parently ill.,. but far from collapse as reported. She was with her mother, Mrs Dwight Morrow, and Mrs Henry Breckinridge, friend. Colonel Lindbergh also strolled about the grounds with his terrier, joking some with troopers, and ap- parently in good spirits.
 Governor Moore's optimistic statement last night, read:
 "T have absolute confidence that the baby will come back alive and safe. I don't know when, but whenever it Is, feel sure he will be in good health"
 This, essentially, is the hope and expressed sentiment of all those directly concerned with the search.
 Henry (Red) Johnson, sweet heart of Betty Cow, the Lndbergh nurse, is still held at Newark. He may be remaining voluntarily, or he might be held indefinitely as a material witness" in this state.
