That YOungster Has Not Yet Been Returned

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

Copyright 1892 by United Press.
HOPEWELL, N. j., April 9-Ransom has been
paid for the return of Charles A. Lndbergh jr, but
the baby has not yet been returned to his parents
At the Lindbergh home and at Trenton police
headquarters today there was neither confirmation
nor denial of the above, but the United Press OBJ
tanned its information from an unimpeachable
source.
The amount of the is not known posi-
lively but it is understood to have approximated the
kidnapers' original demands for S50,OO0
Earlier in the day the United Press learned
that negotiations for the baby's return were at
standstill and have failed temporarily Taken in
connection with the advices payment Of the ran
som, this means that the kdnapers or persons plr-
porting to represent them have received the ransom
money, but have failed to date to return the child
Colonel Lindbergh is known still to hold to his
original promise that he and his associates will not
attempt to harm the kidnapers if only they will re-
turn the baby.
There is possibility the kidnapers are waiting
to see that the heat is turned offhat u.s. that thew
are free of pursuit and they re-
turn the infant.
There is, however, possibility that the receiv-
ers have pocketed the funds and that they are now
intending to try for increased ransom that they
are simply ''chiselers" who represented themselves
as able to return the baby without being able to do So

Get Large Haul
From Salesman

SAN FRANCISCO, April g. UP,-
Two gentleman bandits" who ap-
parently knew their victim, were
sought today for the theft of more
than 100000 in gems from Ber-
nard Landau, New York jewelry
salesman, who was left by the
marauders bound and gagged in
his hotel room.
The gunner followed Landau to
his room in prominent down
town hotel last night, tethered him
with adhesive tape and escaped
with 273 mounted and unmounted
pearls sapphires, emeralds and
diamonds Landau was so unnerved
by his experience that police had
difficulty obtaining from him a
description of the robbers. He said
one of them, stocky man of about
"a, called him by his first name in
demanding the jewels. The other
was older and taller, Landau said.
The robbers attracted no atten-
ton as they escaped through the
hotel lobby.
Landau told police be believed
an international jewelry theft ring
had victimized him, possibly trail
ing him here from Los Angeles.
He left the offices of his firm in
New York on March 81 and went
to Los Angeles.

PORTER'S NAME
MAY NOT BE ON
RECALL BALLOT

LOS ANGELES, April 9. U.PN -
Los Angeles legal authorities today
were endeavoring to determine if
Mayor John c. Porter could be a
candidate at a recall election
against him May 8.
Doubt that the mayo's name
would be on the ballot was eX-
pressed when representatives of
Charles A. Dempster, state assem-
blyman and a candidate, filed in
appellate court a petition for a
writ of mandate to keep it off.
The petition was based on diff
ferences existing in the state con-
stitution and city charter provisions
governing recall elections.
Under the constitution any Off
cial subject to a recall election
cannot be a candidate in the elec-
ton. The city charter provides an
officials name automatically goes
on the ballot.
Porter'S supporters made a last
minute attempt to secure sigma
lures on nominating petitions but
abandoned this after a deputy city
attorney ruled that his name should
appear on the ballot.
Mayor Porter was charged in
the recall petition with general
misconduct in office.

in school taxes takes place, taxes
cannot be greatly lowered.

LENGTHY BATTLE
ANTICIPATED IN
HAWAILN TRIAL
BY DAN CAMPBELL
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

HONOLULU, April 9. - Swift
conclusion to the honor Staying
trial of four Americans appeared
remote today as new conflic,
arose over introduction of medical
testimony for a defense of tempo
rary insanity.
Prosecutor John Kelley, who en-
gagged Clarence Darrow in a four
day battle over the melting pot
jury, announced he will demand the
services of as many alienistS as ap-
pear for the defense.
Admittedly unprepared to meet
this type of defense, Kelley made
his announcement when he learned
two prominent Los Angeles psy-
chiatrists had arrived here with
the apparent intention of serving
the defense when the trial resumes
Monday.
If Clarence DarroW uses them
for the defense I'll most certainly
ask for continuance in order to
bring equally famous alienists from
the mainland" the ruddy faced
prosecutor said. II had hoped ia
finish the territory's case in three
days, but if the defense is going to
change its tactics, I'll ask the
county supervisors for money to
hire our own experts"
