BABY HUNT COSTS
A KINGS RANSOM
Staggering Cash Outlay
. Adds to Grievous Price
Paid in Suffering.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
HOPEWELL, N. j., May 13.-The
cash cost of the crime of the century
is almost as hard to reckon as the more
grievous price paid in suffering anc
sorrow.
But one thing is certain: The figure
mounted high into six digits, possibly
higher.
Mrs. Mclean Pays 100000.
Col Charles A. Lindbergh lost $50 ,00C
in futile ransom payment. Mrs. Ed.
ward B. Mclean of Washington paic
out 100000 in an attempt at ransom
and charged that her agent, CASTOR B
Means, mulcted her Of it.
Those are the two definite figures
that can be set. How to total the cost
of a worldwide hunt in which hundreds
of thousands of policemen and count
less individuals took parts Of varying
Importance?
Yachts are expensive to operate, and
European trips are not taken at small
cost. The Norfolk Intermediates have
been using a yacht in their negotiation
attempts. Their expenses and those
OF Salvy Spitale, Irving Bitz, Morris
Rosner and others who tried to get the
baby back must have been high.
Police Exhaust Funds.
The New Jersey State police sent an
official to Europe to run down clues.
Spending thousands of dollars in the
search. the police faced depleted funds
and had to ask an additional appropria-
tion.
Naval planes and Coast Guard boats
took part in the search, the Govern
ment spent money. assigning agents to
the hunt and sending broadcast a long
list Of the ransom bills mulcted from
Col. Lindbergh. All over the world
police made special efforts to help
II to this total are added telegraph
and telephone tolls incurred by police,
newspapers and individuals, the sum
becomes staggering.
