BOSTON, March 9.-An unemployed
shoe worker and a truck driver, each
with good intentions, spent an uncom-
Portable day at police headquarters
yesterday while police investigated the
worth of their knowledge of the Lind
bergh kidnapping case.
The unemployed shoemaker. Earle
| Edwards, of Derry. N. H., placed toe
much faith in fortune-telling friend
and the truck driver Samuel Black OF
Lawrence, too much faith in his newly
made acquaintance, the shoemaker.
At the end of thorough investigation
they were permitted to go home.
Edwards started out from his home
in search of work in Boston. AS he
had no money for train fare, he hitch
linked. At Lawrence, Black volunteered
ITO give him ride in his automobile
truck. The conversation turned to the
Lindbergh case and Edwards told OF

also said the missing Lindbergh child
WAS being held captive by an aged cou-
ple miles from his home at Hopewell
N. j., and the motive for the crime was
revenge.
Considered Reward.
The pair agreed that any information
of value should be transmitted to Col.
and Mrs Charles A. Lindbergh. Ed
wards said he would do it if he could
spare the money. Black said he could
FINANCE a telephone call to Hopewell,
and it was agreed that if their efforts
brought results and reward was given
1t was to be divided between them.
At the North Station, in Boston, Ed
wards went into telephone booth and
Black waited outside. Edwards put
through a call for the Lindbergh home.
That brought action. The telephone
operator notified the Boston & Maine
police, a man in the adjoining booth
dashed into the street and told Boston
moned every policeman in the vicinity
and city and railroad policemen de-
scended on the telephone booth.
Edwards had just been connected with
the Lindbergh home and had asked for
the colonel when the connection was
broken. He then saw the approaching
forces of the law. He hung up and
started to leave the booth. but both he
and Black were swamped by officers.
Woman Brought In.
Iney were nelQ at ponce neaoQuar-
| ters for several house while Deputy
Supt. James McDevitt checked their
stories Late in the day they were re-
leased when McDevitt became convinced
their efforts were sincere.
While they were being held woman
was brought in. She had tried to send
q telegram to the Lindherghs telling
them to search the Maine woods for
their child. Later letter was brought
in. 1t had been found in the mails and
directed the parents of the missing child
to search the Morrow estate in Mexico
for the baby.
While the police were holding the two
men in Boston the Haverhill authorities
detained Boulanger. whom they de-
scribed as distant relative of Edwards
and an amateur fortune teller. After,
police said, Boulanger had related to
them the details of a vivid dream in
which he said he saw the kidnapers
place a ladder against the Lindbergh
home and perform the abduction they
released him Immediately without COM
