white yacht" they said-but they would
say nothing more. Col. Lindbergh was
reported to have been seeking small
vessel called Nellie or Sallie, when ne
made his airplane trips.
Admiral Burrage said he had no rea-
son to believe the baby Is back home or
that it had been returned to the CUSTODY
of the parents or their representatives.
He refused to answer questions whether
the recovery of the child was believed
to be imminent, or whether there was
any connection between Col. Lindbergh
movements during the past few days
and the negotiations Of the Norfolk
men.
He also said he could not answer the
questions whether further trips must
be made by Mr. Curtis, or whether any
of the Norfolk Intermediates would

I'VE still believe in our clue" he re-
sponded when asked If the negotiators
were convinced that the persons with
whom they are dealing are in possession
of the child.
He would not say whether Mr.. Cur
tis had seen Col. Lindbergh before or
after he had made the contact with the
kidnapers.
Curtis issued the following statement:
Gentlemen: On my trip I made con-
tact, was informed by my contact that
the child was well, saw Col. Lindbergh
personally, but am not at liberty to
say where. I regret my inability to
say more at this time"

Gov A. Harry Moore, who has ex-
pressed confidence in the babyis welfare
in the past, conferred with Col

well. That he is alive and well is also
my sincere belief. However, I have no
definite knowledge that he Is.
Col. Schwarzkopf conferred with me
today. He went over the general situa-

lice activities and progress. He told me
the situation was much the same as 1t
has been for several days"

been returned to his parents or to the
home of his grandmother, Mrs. Dwight
w. Morrow, at Englewood, spread from
coast to coast.
There also were persistent reports,

of the child was only matter OF hours.
Col. Schwarzkopf said: When the
baby is returned the news will be re-
leased through Trenton"

At Trenton newspaper men kept "a
hour vigil in the State Capitol, which is

In Hopewell a small army Of reporters
and photographers was increasing as a
result of the optimism.
Col. Schwarzkopf and State Police In
Maine said they had no knowledge OF a
report a man and woman had landed

in an asylum and last reports were
she is still there"
