we'll, but Will Return Here
This Week.

Leon Mitchell, head of the Mitchell
tribe Of gypsies, was en- route to the
Lindbergh home near Hopewell, N. j.,
today to offer his followers services to
the parents of the kidnapped baby.
Mitchell, who few here from Phila-
delphia yesterday to confer with his
attorney, Robert I. Miller, was ex-
pected to return for another consulta-
ton today. On the advice of his law
yer, however, he decided to go to Hope
we'll instead, with view to comforting
with representatives of the Lindberghs.
He will come here later in the week,
Mr.. Miller said.
Meanwhile, a note found in Seventh
street apartment formerly occupied by
gypsies was turned over to Inspector
with the suggestion that he have it ex-
object Of such an examination, it was
explained, would be to determine
whether the lettering matched the writ
ing on postcard received by the Lind
berghs from the kidnapers.
Written by Boy.
The letter was taken to police head
quarters by Detective Jess Birch, acting
on the order of Capt William E. Holmes,
precinct commander. 1t was written.
the detective said, by an 18-year-old
gypsy boy when he and his family lived
in the TOO block of Seventh street.
The youth was questioned after his
father informed by another gypsy that
he was wanted for interrogation, went
to the first precinct station. Both IA
ther and son were questioned exten-
sively, but neither was held.
Search for the father was begun last
night following the release of Noah
Stanley, also gypsy. who was picked
up for Interrogation after 1t was learned
N. j.
Stanley, who gave an address in the
900 block of Eleventh street, was ar
rested by Birch and Detective James
Kane, also Of the first precinct.
After several hours questioning, how
ever, he convinced the investigators he
had no knowledge of the abduction.
Went to Uncle's Funeral.
He went to Newark on Febru-
ary %, he explained, to attend the fu-
neral of his uncle, Charles Stanley, who
had died the day before in Voxhall, a
suburb of Newark. His statement was
confirmed by Newark authorities, as well
DIS ny several 1rlenQS, WHO also aGteuueu
the funeral. He remained in Newark
two days, they said, returning to Wash
ington before the kidnapping.
The detectives decided to arrest Stan
ley, they explained, when they learned he
and his sister and brother-in-law made
the trip to New Jersey in an automobile
Of the same color as the one thought to
have been used by the abductors. The
car, owned by the brother-in-law, Eddie
Crabtree, was found to have no connec-
tion with the kidnapping however.
Organizing for Search.
Meanwhile gypsles all along the
Atlantic Coast were organizing with a
view to beginning search OF their
own for the missing child.
Mitchell decided to have his follow
ers join the search for the kidnapped
baby, Miller explained, after Stanley's
arrest. Previously, the lawyer said, sew
eral other gypsies had been picked up
by New Jersey police following receipt
of tip that a caravan OF gypsies had
passed through Hopewell, N. j., about
the time of the abduction.

MED Order in Arcadia,
Fla, Court.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ARCADIA, Fla, March 10.-A
defense motion for directed verdict Of
not guilty was denied by Judge K. c. B.
Koonce today in the trial of William
Raymond Carver, former Philadelphia
real estate operator, on a charge Of
numbering his wife.
Defense attorneys made similar mo-
ton several days ago, but it, too, was
denied
The defense concluded its evidence
yesterday and the State offered no re-
buttal today.
The motion for a directed verdict
was based on defense contention that
the evidence was insufficient to warrant
conviction and that no new evidence
had been introduced since the State
Supreme Court reversed Carver's pre-
vious conviction on the grounds of in
sufficient evidence
At his first trial in Sebring, Carver
was sentenced TO life imprisonment, but
the Supreme Court granted him new
trial

famous aviator, Charles A. Lindbergh,
and our mail system used to convey
the threats and demands of the kid
napers.
This latest f1endish act has so i'm
pressed our committee that 1t Is deemed
advisable while the Congress and the
country are in a state of preparation
to report this legislation when its
chance Of consideration and approval
are excellent and for the added purpose
that it will bring to the assistance Of
the States and localities the aid of the
Federal Government in stamping out
this most atrocious form Of crime"

lation intended to increase revenues by
over S15, 100000 and definitely shelved

charges estimated to bring in 81, 500 900.

partment to charge extra for the pay
ment Of money orders at offices other
than those on which the orders are
drawn.
