NORFOLK, Va, March 26 q.
N.SO.-Orders were issued today
to the Sixteenth U. S. Coast
Guard b PTS operating around
Norfolk t6 board every strange
yacht that appears in Chesapeake
waters.
The orders were issued by
Comdr. w. A. Benham and fol

Lindbergh baby is secreted on a
boat somewhere in the Chesa-

Benham said:
"If a strange or Off-seasOn
yacht appears in these waters,
it will be boarded for inspec-

Boarding a vessel could not be

MACK DOUBTED
ON L|NDY TALE

BOSTON, March 26 G.NSD.
Under questioning by police at
Charles Street Jail today, Harry
w. Mack, who claims the Purple
Gang of Detroit has the Lind
bergh baby hidden in the Far
West, admitted his story had been
given to Department of Justice
agents in Canada some time ago
and nothing ever came of it.
Mack, who claimed he was a
school friend in Glasgow, Scot
land, of Miss Betty Cow, the
nurse at the Lindbergh home,
said he had revealed in detail the
information, which, he said, was
given him by a prisoner named
Fontaine, and a cellmate.
After a checkup of various an
giles of his story, as previously told
at Windsor (Ontario) prison,
police said they were skeptical.
New Jersey State police were re-
ported on their way here to
question Mack. Deputy super
intendent of Police James A. Nc
Dewitt had communicated with
Col Norman SchwarZkorf, head
of the New Jersey police.
Brought from Windsor, Ont, on
default warrant, after Secretary
of State StimSon and Department
of Justice agents had facilitated
his eXtradition. Mack gave the
same address in Hartford, Conn,
credited to Henry CRedD Johnson,
friend of Miss Betty Cow, the
Lindbergh baby's nurse.

was gradually coming over the two
families. Instead of husbands and
wives pairing off together when the
two families came to Minot on a dou-

a picture show, knight and Mrs. Rik-
ensrud often sat together, while Rik-
ensrud and Mrs. knight coupled seats
alongside the other couple. Their
friends got to teasing all four. 1t
seemed good joke.
But there was more to the affair
than just Joke. One day in March,
1929, both women filed suits for d.

lawyer acted for both. The two hus-

.KIDNAPERS OF
 THE LINDBERCH !
 BABY HUNTED
Worldwide Search Is GO- ing on and There Is a Belief That Killers Will Be Caught
BY DELos SMITH


 Trenton, N.AJ., Nov 29-U.P)- The search for the kidnapers and killers of Charles Augustus Lind bergh, Jr, is now in its most exten- sive and active stage, the. United Press learned authoritatively to- day.
 Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the New Jersey State Po- lice, and in complete charge of a worldwide man hunt, refused to discuss the case. His subordinates, however, said he was. confident he would bring the criminals to jus tice.
 Much water has gone under the bridge since the spring afternoon a wood chopper found the Lindbersh baby four miles from the Lind- bergh Hopewell home where he was stolen the night of March l. Jer- sey City and Newark police, once active with Schwarzkopf, have with drawn. Federal Investigating agen- cies still have the case "open' on their books, but are doing nothing. Only Schwarzkopf and his state po- lice remain in active pursuit on the thin, almost non existence trail left by the kidnapers.
 Schwarzkopf has been following a half dozen lines of investigation. He was tracing ransom money Dr John R. Condon (Jafsie) tossed over the wall of Bronx cemetery. Police have little doubt but that the men who stole the baby were the men who got that money. Schwarzkopf has received several of the bills. He hopes, his associ-. ates say, that one of the bills will provide him a powerful clew.
