"You must eat something" she

Il don't want to eat" Cherry said
YEARLY.
However she sat down in the big
chair before which Sarah had
drawn a small table and set down
the tray, There was hot broth, a

Sarah hustled about getting the

was the sound Of water running in

The face on the pillow looked as

face. Expressionless. The gray
hair. drawn back severely, made
the face seem old. One arm lay out

It was DR.. Knowles who stepped

Dust Clue

LYONS, May 10 G.N.S0.-Mi,
croscoptc examination of the dust
and CRIME found on the shirt of
the murdered Lindgerbh baby
may provide a clue to his kid
napers, Prof. Jean Locard, direc-
tor of the police laboratory here,
declared today.
Prof. Locard has aided in solu-
ton of many battling crimes by
concentrating on the study Of
dust found on the bodies of muir
der victims. Locard said:
"The baby was probably
killed in a fight between rival
gangs shortly after the kidnap-
ing. The body eventually was
deposited close to the Lind
berg's home in order to throw
police off the track.
"The dust on the baby's
underShirt will betray the dis
lance he Travelled and other
clues of importance"
The fact the child's body was
decomposed should not hamper
this angle of the investigation,
the professor said. He cited
numerous cases where examina-
ton revealed important clues
after even longer exposure to the
elements.

REWARD BY j. s,
PROPOSED

A proposal that Congress offer
a reward for the capture of the
kidnapers and murderers of the
Lindbergh baby was considered
today by Representative Seger
(R) of New Jersey who was a
friend of the late Dwight Nor
row, father-in-law of Colonel
Lindbergh.
An investigation revealed, how
ever, that there is no precedent
for a Federal reward in a police
case. Because of this, Seger said,
it probably would be impossible
to obtain passage of a reward
resolution.
After discussing the case with
j. Edgar Hoover, director of the
Bureau of Investigation of the
Department of Justice, he said
Hoover urged speedy action by
Congress to give the Department
of Justice jurisdiction in inter
state kidnapping cases.

PASTOR PALLED.
BY HOAX

NORFOLK, Va, May 11
G.N.SO .-Dazed and still a little
incredulous, members of the Nor.
folk group which for two months
sought to recover the Lindbergh
baby today confessed themselves
victims of a monstrous hoax.
They still stick to their convic-
ton they were working on a
"clue" which their chief negotia-
tor, John Hughes Curtis, con.
WINGED them was based on in.
fallible proof.
Until now the negotiators dis
played openly a tableaux which
presented them all as equally ION
the inside with Curtis insofar
as knowledge of proof of anthem
ITCHY of the men they were deal
ing with was concerned.
Today the Very Rev. H. Dod-
son-Peacock, rector of Christ's
Episcopal Church and one of the
two negotiators here now, said
that in the last analysis his par
ticipation in the Norfolk negotia-
lions was based entirely on his
confidence in the word of Curtis.
He said that no specific or ma
terial proof of the identity of the
baby which the men with whom
he and his fellows were dealing
were purported to have in their
possession ever reached his hands.

ARMY SLASHERS
WEAKENING

With the War Department
standing pat in it's opposition to
the retirement of 1000 Army Off
GERS as proposed in the War De-
partment appropriation bill, there
were indications that the sponsors
of the measure were weakening
today as it came up for renewed
consideration in the House.
Secretary of War Hurley re-
iterated his determined stand
against a further reduction of
the nations defense forces and
obtained from influential mem
berS of the House assurances that
when the bill is taken up again
a compromise measure will be
offered.
This compromise, sponsored by
Representative McSwain CD of
South Carolina, will call for a
trimming of the officer personnel
of the Army by 1000 instead of
1000. Further it will leave to
an Army board the task of weed
ing out those officers to be re-
tired. AS now drawn, the bill
practically legislates officers out
of the Army by name, its op-
ponentS claim.

Coincidence

HOPEWELL, N. j., May 13
ON.S0 The cycle Of time
supplied a poignant coincidence
in the life of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh.
It was just five years ago
yesterday that he arrived in
New York from st. Louis, un-
known, unheralded, the glory
of the future before him.
He landed at Curtiss field
at 5:33 p. m.
Five years later, almost to
the hour, the idol of the
world learned the tragic news
Of the murder of his kidnapped
son.

FOR CANISTER.

DETROIT, May 10 QNS0.-
Inspector William Collins will go
to New York at once, it was
learned today, to aid authorities
there in running down a clue
which he believes may result in
the capture of the Lindbergh kid
naperS.
Signatures on extortion notes
in a frustrated Detroit kidnapping
plot link the local case with the
Lindbergh case through a widely
known New York gangster.
Arrest of the gangSter, local
police said, is expected momen-
tarily. While he has been under
surveillance for some time, he
was not arrested for fear such
action might lead to the death
of the missing child.
The Detroit case now brought
to the fore was the attempt in
January, 1881, to kidnap the two
children of Horace S. Maynard,
secretary-treaSdrer of the Senior
Investment Corporation. Four
men are serving prison terms for
the plot.
After the plotters walked into
a police trap at the Maynard
home, Maynard received several
extortion letters signed James
Martin"
Handwriting of the extortion
notes tallies closely, police said,
with a signature involving the
New York gangster whose name
already has been mentioned in
the Lindbergh case.

KIN GATHERING
At HOPEWELL

HOPEWELL, N. j., May 10
ONS.e-To this scene of trag
edy, members of the Lindbergh
and Morrow families came to-
day.
With Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh'S mother en- route from
Detroit, the sisters and brothers
of the former Anne Morrow con-
Verged upon Hopewell.
Elizabeth Morrow left Engle-
wood, N. j.. for Hopewell shortly
before noon. Constance Morrow,
another sister, left her class
rooms at Smith College, North
ampton, and Dwight Morrow, her
only brother, came from Am
herSt.
It was learned that one of
Colonel Lindbergh's first acts
after the discovery of the body
of his son was to notify mem
bers of the two families of the
tragedy and to request them to
come to Hopewell.
This led to belief that funeral
services for the slain baby would
be held quickly and in utmost
privacy. Only members of the
family, it was understood, will
attend, with the press as we'll as
the public barred.
