Mrs. Morrow on Hand For
Crisis; Betty Cow to Be
Retained as Nurse

Englewood, N. j., Aug. 16.-Ke
Another son was born to the Charles
A. Lindbergh's Tuesday, bringing
happiness back to a home long dark
ened by deepest tragedy.
Five months and 1e days after 20
months-old Charles Augustus Lind
bergh, Jr., was stolen from his CRIB
to meet his death while all the world
sought him, the second baby was
born at $50 a. m.
Only the fact that a second son
had been born was Immediately
available, but it was generally under
stood the baby and its mother were
both In good health.
The child was understood to have
been born in the Dwight w. Morrow
home where the first baby was born
and where Mrs. Lindbergh is known
to have been up to the past day or
two. Mrs. Morrow, Mrs. Lindbergh's
mother, was present, having recently
returned from Europe.
Although no statement was forth
coming on this point the probability
was considered the new baby's nurse
would be Betty Cow, the Scottish
girl who was the first babys nurse
and who first discovered the kidnap-
ing.
Miss Cow was questioned at length
after the kidnapping as were all the
Lindbergh servants. Her sailor sui
tor. Henry Johnson. was detained for
a long time and finally deported. The
Lindberghs always expressed COM
plete faith in her. She is at present
on visit to her home in Scotland.
Seeks Relief in Work
Col. Lindbergh, from the moment
on that blustery March night when
he first discovered his first son was
missing, has sought assuagement Of
his grief in constant activity Of one
sort or another.
Up to the time the baby's body was
found he was always in the van Of
the searchers. himself directing va
rious phases of the hunt for the kid
napers and attempting negotiations
with them through the agency,
among others, of DR.. John F. Con-
don, aged Bronx educator, and John
Hughes Curtis, Norfolk, Va, boat
builder.
Through DR.. Condor, who had
negotiated for return OF the baby
through newspaper advertisements
signed "Jafsie," he paid a futile $50.
600 ransom which DR.. Condor passed
over a cemetery hedge in the Bronx.
Payment of this money was fol-
lowed by direction of the people who
received it, by series Of airplane
flights by the distracted father in
search of a boat on which the baby
was said to be held. This boat was
never found and COL Lindbergh
finally came to the conclusion he had
been duped and made public the
numbers Of all the ransom bills In
the hope Of thus tracing the people
who had so cruelty deceived him.
He has always expressed complete
confidence in DR.. Condor.
After the baby's body was found.
at which time Col. Lindbergh was on
a boat following clue given him by
Curtis, the Norfolk shipbuilder was
arrested and convicted Of obstructiu1
justice.
