CAPONE CALLED
BABY THIEF

Senator Bingham (RD of Con-
necticut, today told the Senate
he believed Al Capone may have
been responsible for the kidnap-
ing of Charles A. Lindbergh's
infant son.
Calling attention to Capone's
statement that he would effect
the return of Lindbergh's baoy
if the Lone Eagle" would effect
his temporary release, Bingham
said:
"Capone has not only offered
to effect the return of the LIND
bergh baby but has absolutely
guaranteed that the baby
would be returned within a few
days if Colonel Lindbergh
would arrange for his temp
orary relief from Jail. This is
the second time CapOne has
offered to return the baby II
he is let out of Jail for a while.
THE failure of Colonel Lind.
burgh to effect the return OF
his child, coupled with these
repeated statements from Ca
pone, lends some force to the
claim of many people that the
kidnapping was done by friends
of CapOne."

Hawaiian territorial authori-

upon Prosecutor John c..
Kelley to present his rebuttal
testimony slowly and cautiously
in an effort to nullify the
defense erected by Clarence
barrow.
Although both DR.. Joseph Cat

denied permission by Darrow to
examine Lieutenant Massie, they
reported to Kelley that from a
study of the records they were

conduct was that of a normal
person.
Kelley Told to Slow Up
Lieutenant Massie, his mother
in-laW. Mrs. Grace Hubbard
Fortescue. and two naval enlisted
men are charged with the murder
of KahahaWai.
The defense contended that
KahahaWai admitted leading five
hoodlums in an attack on Mrs.
Massie and that this confession
so unbalanced the young lieu
tenant that he unconSciouSly
pulled the trigger of a pistol he
had pointed at the natives
heart.
Kelley had been anxious to
conclude his case today. but Gov.

their opinion Massie was legally

law.

CHAPTER XIV

The so-called police third de-
gree is usually a laugh to the
seasoned criminal. The profes-
sional crook always thinks he is
smarter than the copper-and
many times he is. When he
realizes the police are going to
get rough and put him through
the mental torture mill, he
comes clean with everything
they want to hear. He'll con-
fess anything to stall along,
knowing that smart mouth
piece" can have the confession
thrown out on the grounds that
it was obtained under duress.
The police, although paid to
protect the public, never get
much sympathiny in such cases.
Not even in court. The public
goes indignant when word seeps
out that the dicks have treated
a guy rough, punched his jaw,
jerked his chair out from under
him, refused to give him water
or kept him from his beauty
nap. The criminal may rob.
kidnap and kill, but the public
realizes something romantic in
his actions. But let a cop digresS
