CROSS FIRE QUESTIONS


 New Rochelle, N. r., June h. UP)-Ernest Brinkert writhed today in 8 cross fire of relentless, driving questioning intended to force a confession that he had guilty knowledge" of the Lind bergh Kidnapping and murder.
 Questioning, was not concluded here but was continued enroute to Jersey City, N. l., and will be con- tinued here during the day.
 Hiss arrest followed suddenly and dramatically the suicide yes- terday in the Dwight Morrow home of Violet Sharpe. a servant girl about to be questioned while "un- der suspicion."S
 Brinkert had been identified po- sitlveIy through photographs shown the girl the day before she killed herself. She said he was her companion on mysterious auto ride the night of March 1, the night Charles A. Lindbergh Jr, was snatched from his crib at HopeweIl to be murdered.
 Two other persons accompanied Miss Sharpe on that ride. Who they were. she did not know or would not tell. one was q man. the other was woman.
 The second woman, according to Miss Sharpe and the state police. was not her sister, Edna Sharpe. q passenger on an England bound liner April 6. They did not link her departure at that date with the payment of $50,00 ransom re- ported four days earlier by Dr John Y. Condon, Jafsie of the want ads.
 Miss Edna Sharpe, however, is sought in England, according to state police. of New Jersey, for questioning Tn the case.
 Condon, incidentally, has not po- sitively identified pictures of Brink ert as the mysterious Scandinavian named John to whom he paid the ransom money. And when he saw Brinkert here he did not make known if he knew the man.
 Brinkert was questioned all night long, after his capture while at- tempting to move from a parking space. The taxi driYer's license numbers had been noted by an at- tendant reading newspaper extras describing Miss Sharpe's suicide.
 The suspect was In one room. Condon was in an adjoining room. Eetectives moved swiftly from room to room, checking questions and answers of both. N

Meanwhile authorities checked back on Violet Sharpe, the demure English girl who suddenly became the central point in the last inter- national search for the slayers and mnrderers of the Lindbergh baby. She committed suicide because she claimed she could not further un- dergo Walsh's questioning. After her death Colonel If. Norman SchwarZkopf, superintendent of State police, said she had been
 under suspicion" and Walsh said police were assuming she was the only one who could have been the "spy" for the Kidnapping gang as she knew the workings of the Lindbergh household and the movements of the Lindbergh fam fly.
 Police particularly wanted to question her sister Edna who left for England four days after Con- don had paid the $50,000 ransom From Reading, England, to-day the United Press was advised that George Sharpe, father of Violet and Edna, when appraised of his daughters suicide had Immediately summoned Emily" home. This Is believed to be Edna as Violet had used both names with the same Toronto, Ont, address, at one time as an emergency reference.
 A picture of Brinkert was posi- lively identified by Violet the day before she killed herself, as the man she was with the night of the Kidnapping. She and her sister. Edna, who said, had met Brinkert in Englewood in harmless firta- tion."
 kinaping, she knew the Lind well that night, breaking their cus- tom. At 1 o'clock Brinkert called and made a date for a motor car trip.
 About D. m., Violet had said, She. Brinkert, one other man and another woman went riding, and remained out until 11:30, Or until after the Kidnapping had been dis covered. This was the only time in two years of service with Mrs Iindbergh's mother that she had gone out for an evening with a man. the household reported.
 Who the second man and woman on the ride were Violet Sharpe coul not or would not say.
 The second woman on the ride was not her sister, Violet said. State police agreed.
 Condon has seen Brinkert. but has not identified him, according to police. Brinkert once lived near, him, specimen of the ransom mon- ey was found in a bank in the gen. eral vicinity, and Brinkert's hand writing is being checked with that of the ransom letters Condon re- ceiycd
