They said he drove his own
car, and that his first myster-
ious excursion was Monday
night at II, returning Tues
day morning at 7.
He was in the house only
two hours when he started
again, the sources said. He
did not return until 4 p. m.
Wednesday midnight he drove off
again and did not return until
6 a. M, they said.
AS related to me, the story is:
Colonel Lindbergh drove a coupe,
rapidly ON the first trip and the
state troopers guarding the private
road to his estate were almost run
down when they attempted to stop
him.
The guard, not recognizing the
uniform symbols in the black night,
stood in the middle of the road
flashing light.
The car, instead of diminishing
its speed, jumped forward under
new pressure on the accelerator.
The troopers leaped and sprawled
into the roadside ditch as the car
roared by. lurched and swung
crafty as it negotiated the difficult
corner, and took the back cut
through Skillman to a highway that
would lead to any place where Lind
bergh might have been bound.

Suspects Prepare Defense
to Liquor Charges.

With release of Ernie Flatters,
alleged collector of protection
money, from Marion county Jail on
$4,000 bond, all the Muncie men
arrested on federal grand jury in
dictmentS on liquor conspiracy
counts, were free today and in Mum
Gle preparing for their defense.
Flatter's bond was signed on
Wednesday afternoon by two In
dianapolis persons. Check of the
records in the office of ALT o. MeIoy,
United States marshal, revealed
that three residents of Muncie were
among the eighteen signers of
bonds.
This point was seized by oppo-
nents of Mayor George R. Dale of
Muncie, free on $4,000 bond, to
ridicule Dale'S assertions that Harry
z. Gates, deputy marshal, used
"high-handed tactics" in making
the arrests, an had refused to &C
cept bond at Muncie.
All the defendants will be ar
raigned before Judge Robert c..
BaltZell on March II.

real and definite contact between
the sorrowing Lindbergh household
and the kidnapers.
Still another sensational story
that a man with both underworld
and government contacts has been
installed at the Lindbergh home
is denied.
Many Weird Rumors
The press report concerning this
mysterious guest" also tended to
stimulate the idea in some por-
tons of the public that there is
some tangible link already built be-
tween Lindbergh and the actual
kidnapers.
Yet another rumor coursed
through press office today-that
Salvatore Spitale, underworld 60

bound from Chicago, with the baby
in private car.
Spitaie was in speakeaSy in the
early morning hours when inter-
viewed by the United Press.
At that time he denied again he
had any real tips from the under
world, and indicated his belief that
the kidnapers-if they are profess
sionals-are waiting to have the
heat turned of"
That is, they are laying low until
the hue and cry in police and press
quarters dies down, before coming
forward with word to "Salvi."
Tony MesIo Is Released
He could have gone outside the
city and boarded a train after that
interview. but there was nothing to
indicate he had.
The Chicago flyer was crowded
with reporters at several stops
through Pennsylvania, but there
was no baby aboard and no Spitale.
The same situation prevailed
when the train pulled into New

HOPEWELL, March 10-Baby
Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. is still
missing.
That fact, announced officially
today, stood out still as the dom
inant news fact in a welter of ru-
NOR, fantasy and misinformation
circulated on the status Of the kid
naping Of Colonel and Mrs. Lind
bergh's 20-months-old son.
And, positive pledge has been
given that if the baby is returned
the world will be promptly ac-
quainted of the news, through
Trenton headquarters of the New
Jersey state police.
HAS the baby been returned?'
the press liaiSon officer at the Lind
berghs Hopewell estate was asked
through the Trenton state police
press conference this forenoon.
And, his laconic reply, tragic in
its import, was:
mo"
In the same press conference, it
was denied that Colonel Lindbergh
is on the verge of a nervous col
lapse.
Anne Is Near Collapse
His wife, Anne Morrow Lind
bergh, however, is watched care
fully, because the strain of more
than a week of waiting for return
of her baby is cruelty tearing her
heart and body.
Asked for statement as to
whether there is ANY indication
that the baby is alive Or when it
will be returned" the spokesman
replied in the crisp language of the
trooper.
Question previously answered"
The previous answer, however,
yielded no tangible sign that any
thing positive is known as to the
child's whereabouts or condition, for
the police at that time admitted
that their confidence in the child's
welfare was based solely on the fact
that they had no word indicating
harm to the baby.
Seek Underworld Contact
Colonel Henry Breckenridge, Lind
bergh's personal adviser, still is try
ing to make positive contacts with
the underworld, and is going into
regions hitherto unknown to him.
But he has received nothing posi-
lively tangible as a guiding star in
the effort at restoration of the
child.
The United Press can reiterate on
positive, unimpeachable authority
that the Lindberghs did not receive
on Sunday two communications
from the kidnapers.
Reports that they did have been

VVN'gi, the national zoos prize
baby gorilla, died today, despite
sciences efforts to save him from
the raviShes of a respiratory in
lection.
For two weeks N'gi had been
given the best treatment known
to modern medicine, including ad-
miEistration of oxygen with spe-
cial apparatus brought from New
York.
Head Keeper William H. Black
burn said death was due to gen
eral collapse, weakness and total
loss of appetite"
DR.. William M. Mann, director
of the ZOO, had spent much time
with N'Gi during his illness,
hoping that he would be able to
pull him through.
1t would have been a triumph
for science, for no gorilla ever has
lived in captivity beyond the age
of seven years.
n
NGI was captured in Africa
4 ' three years ago by an ex-
petition sponsored jointly by
Walter Chrysler and the Smith
Sonian institution. He was one
of the seven young gorillas n
this country.
The government does not in
sure any of its property, but DR..
Mann and group of friends
personally took out a $4,000
policy on N'Gi's life, in favor of
the Smithsonian. The ZOO is part
of that institution devoted to ad-
vancing science.
