EDUCATOR CL|NGS
TO RANSOM THEORY
Princeton U. Head Believes
Killing CooIIy Planned
as Safest Way.

tcopyright. 1892. by the Associated Press)
PRINCETON, N. MAY 20.-The
close of week of startling develop
ments which began with the finding OF
the body of Charles A. Lindbergh, jr.,
finds John Grier HiDpen. president of
Princeton University and intimate
friend of the Lindberghs, still clinging
to his belief that the child was stolen
for ransom.
For the first time since the Lindbergh
baby was abducted the head Of Prince
ton today disclosed his theory on the
crime of the century.
ITO me it is very obvious that this
crime was conceived and carried out
by gangsters whose motive was the
obtaining as much of ransom as they
could from Col. Linobergh," Mr.. Hibben
said
ITO carry out their plans they evil
dently were perfectly willing to murder
an innocent child as well as kidnap it. !"
Mr.. Hibben said he doubted the pos
sibility that panic inspired the Staying
of the child.
"Gangsters as a rule are pretty cold
brltes.,'' Mr.. Hibben said. THE gang
sters in this crime may have become
frightened after the kidnapping, but l
doubt it.
"It is quite possible that they be-
Heved possession of the child highly
dangerous to them and figured their
chances of collecting a large ransom
we're Just as good, If not better, with
the baby out Of the way.
"The greatest fear Of the gangsters
no doubt was the difficulty of return
ing the child without being caught.
And to overcome 1t they killed it. strik-
ing 1t over the head with blunt in
strument, probably a hammer"
Mr.. and Mrs. Hibben are frequent
visitors to the Lndbergh's Sourland
Mountain home. They were among the
first to express their condolences to the
Lindberghs.
