Philadelphia, said ''the entire re-
sources" of that city would be thrown
behind the search.
Everybody Questioned.
Early in the day the investigators,
who are maintaining 24-hours-a-day
headquarters in the Lindbergh garage,
announced every one within 10 or is
miles of the Lindbergh estate has been
questioned"
Schoeffel said that at the time Of his
conference with newspaper men no one
was being interrogated there.
ton Of the case than they were the
night of the kidnaping?" he was asked
There Is nothing I can say yes
about" he replied.
He spiked a wild rumor the kidnap-
ers had used an airplane, by remark
ing that any one using that mode of
transportation wouldn't have brought
cheap ladder with them
He said to his knowledge there had
been no friction between Col. Lind
bergh and police. He added he did
had made any complaint that false
rumors were being circulated.
Early tonight there was a material
reduction In the size OF the police force
maintained at the Lindbergh home.
The guard at the barrier of the estate,
however, was increased from two to
eight. There was the usual activity of
officers dashing here and there in auto
mobiles and following clues.
Superintendent Fl. Norman SchwarZ-
kopf Of the State police appeared In
personal charge of the searching ac-
tivities. Thus far the investigation here
had centered in board of strategy"
which included Schwarzkopf, William j.
Egan, director of public safety of New
ark, and Inspector Harry Walsh Of
Jersey City, veteran detective.
Nervous and restless, although far
from exhausted, Col. Lindbergh, himself
spent much OF the time springing from
a chair to answer the telephone and
walking from room to room of his
country residence.
The colonel, still dressed in a gray,
pencil-striped suit and a flannel Shirt
he had worn during the greater part
of the time since the baby was kid
naped, spoke III short sentences and
continued none Of his conversations for
more than a few minutes at time.
Constantly at the side of the Lind
berghs were Col. and Mrs. Henry Breck-
inridge, socially prominent New Yorkers
and old friends. For years Col. Breck-
inridge, an attorney, has assisted the
colonel In his personal affairs.
Rendezvous Planned.
1t was indicated that should cornnu-
nication be established with the kid
naperS, a rendezvous far from Hopewell
would be selected for any negotiations.
Col. Lindbergh was understood to
favor further survey OF the Sourland
Mountain area by air The Quiet Bird
men, a secret organization of famous
flyers, of which the colonel is a mem
ber, offered their assistance to him at
the outset. Army planes may be en-
ployed in additional photographing Of
the country, and police also likely will
be placed aboard the ships,

CALM MASKS MOTHERS GRIEF
AS SHE WATTS NEWS OF BABY
Mrs. Lindbergh Just Sits and Waits, Day
After Day, as Search for Kidnapped
Child Goes On.

Just before bedtime he was In the
kitchen to say goodnight to the house
keeper, Mrs Elsie Wheatley, to whom he
Is much attached. Then to bed, with
never a dark thought in the minds OF
the parents.
Over and over In these long days
the mothers mind must have gone
back to the moment when Miss Cow,
! who had gone up at 10 o'clock with
| the milk to the nursery, rushed in with
the unbelievable news.
Sleepless, Terrible Night.
The night was sleepless and terrible.
Then came Wednesday, with the grow
ers, newspaper reporters, cameramen
and many of the curious.
Every glance from the windows
showed the crowd, milling about in the
mud of the new grounds, not yet gar
dened. Ollie Wheatley, the butler, and
his wife were busy with provisions for
extra visitors.
That night Mrs Lindbergh had some
sleep, she told callers next day, and
looked little rested.
Thursday passed. The hunt grew and
the circle widened. Trusted servants
were questioned, minutely. carefully.
Wheatley's turn came after his wife's
and Betty Cows. He said he feared
he could not stand it, caring for the
baby as he did, as they all did.
Friday, Mrs. Lindbergh was persuaded
to rest, and she was in bed much Of
the time, the friend said. Today was
the fourth of waiting, still without
word, so far as any one could learn.
Mrs. Dwight Morrow, AIMS mother,
has been with her almost constantly,
the two women drawn together with
common grief and anxiety. Elisabeth
has remained In Englewood, directing
her work at a pre-kindergarten school.

Put 'em up to the sky Grove;

He replied, Hold on, don't get nsr-
vous.'
"T'm not nervous, Grove, but you
put 'em up and touch the sky I said
He did. We searched him, then
started up to Main street to get a hack
corner we met Chief Of Police Thomas
Mulholland and told him we had just
nabbed Grove. and together we took
him to the lookup.
las the heavy iron doors OF the 1ail
changed shut on Grove, he said:
well, thank Cod reached this
place alive"
McInerney and his partner never
collected the rewards, however. The
$4,000 offer of Edward A. Cudahy, ST.,
for the return of his son had been
withdrawn and there were 80 many
strings" to the other offers, as Nc
Inerney put 1t, he couldn't get the
money.
Career Reads Like Fiction.
The history of Grove reads like fic-
ton stories Of wild West gunner. At
SO, when he kidnapped the Cudahy boy,
December 1s, 1900, Grove was an old
hand at crime. A suave talker, he had
fieeced hundreds Of women Of more
than 100000 In jewelry, had held up
trains, broken into jewelry stores, killed
people and run the whole gamut Of
underworld life.
Fleeing police after the Cudahy ab-
duction, he crossed the Atlantic to Eu-
rope, went to Africa, where he fought
for while in the Boer War against
England, recrossed the ocean to South
America, came up the west coast of
that continent and into California and
to Montana.
At one time he laid plans, according
to his own confession, to kidnap John
D. Rockefeller and hold him for 81
900 900 ransom. The plot fell through,
he claimed, when confederate got
cold feet and spilled the beans"
But he never served day in the
penitentiary for kidnapping the Cudahy
heir. When he was returned to Omaha
it was found the Nebraska kidnapping
law had not been passed until after the
highway robbery for having taken $25.-
900 in ransom money from the roadside,
he was acquitted when the prosecution
failed to prove he received the money.
McInerney came to Washington about
10 years after he captured Grove and
entered the Government service, in
which he has been ever since. He
raised two sons here, one Of whom Is
Wilbert McInerney, now assistant
United States attorney. The other is
John M. McInerney.

asked him how he happened to be in
Hartford at the home of his brother
John; how he happened to be driving a
green coupe, said to resemble the kid
napers' car; how a milk bottle hap
pened to be in the rumble seat.
These and dozens Of other queries

Is one of their cardinal principles.
Once Hickey stepped into a corridor
Of the county building to say the ex-
animation had given them an impor-
tant clue. At another time Acorn ex-
pressed displeasure because information
he had telephoned to the New Jersey
Governors Office had been made public.
Frequent Successes
The team has been trailing-and in
variably solving-mysteries since the
close of the World War. Alcorn has
been prosecutor here since 1907, and
after serving in the Department of
Justice while American soldiers were in
France, Hickey joined him.
The Chapman case was typical of
their methods of co-ordinating their
labors. Hickey collected evidence. He
trailed Chapman to Muncie, Ind, and
arrested him for the murder of a po-
hceman.
He brought his man back to Hart
ford and laid the facts before the
States attorney. Alcorn got down his
law books and correlated the evidence
to the law.
Then they went to court-and won.
Those who have followed their careers
are wondering whether solution Of the
Lindbergh case will be another victory
for the pair.
