"AIy answer to- that is that 1
am here"
In response to question, the
admiral said:
"The kidnapers are afraid to
60 to Colonel Lindbergh with
the child"
Replying to another question,
he said:
81 don't know how the child
will be delivered"
Scant Information
He was asked why it was that
the Rev. DR.. Dods so n-Peacock
used a plane in his trip to con-
fer with Colonel Lindbergh at
Hopewell, N. j.. instead of tax,
ing a train.
The admiral said that the
minister would have to answer
that himself.
Q-Is Mr.. Curtis going away
today on mysterious trip?
Att is necessary that COM
munication be maintained.
@. Is Mrs. Curtis going away
today2
A. don't know.
@. Is he going to Baltimore to
see a certain rum runner?
A. I never bought any rum
from any rum runner and I don't
know anything about this.
Morrow Clue Fails
@. Is there any representative
of Colonel Lindbergh in Norfolk?
A. don't know.
This last question was caused
by the fact that a Morrow was
registered at a hotel here. How
ever, it developed that he was
just a sightSeer and was no rela-
tive of Mrs. Dwight w. Morrow,
Of Englewood, grandmother Of
the kidnapped baby.
The newspaper men kept bonn
harding the admiral with qUeS-
tions and insisted that his state
ments should be more clear.
Interview Heated
The admiral replied that he was
giving out only available inforn1a-
tion and that they could take 1t
and use it as they saw fit.
The discussion between the ad-
miral and the newspaper men be-
came very heated at times. The
admiral frequently would tap his
cane on the floor to emphasize his
remarks.
Curtis, who apparently is the
only one of the trio who has
CONTACTED" the supposed kid.
napers, was reported to be plan
ming another mysterious trip.
Last Saturday he started on a
secret journey that kept him away
for 80 hours, during which time
he is said to have communicated
with the kidnaperS.
Predicts Finale
The general opinion of those
who think Curtis is on the right
track is that the kidnapers have
the baby aboard a boat in some
cove or hideaway along the coast
in this region. The ship builder
a seafaring man for years, is
credited with an extensive &C
quaintance in this region.
Curtis says that the time is
approaching when a "yes or no"
showdown with the kidnapers will
be staged.
I'VE are continuing our work
upon the clue at the request of
Colonel Lindbergh-made per-
Sonally by him."
So said the Rev. DR.. Dobson
Peacock, who on Monday made
a dramatic flight to Hopewell,
N. j., to confer with Lindbergh
on the Norfolk developments.
Norfolk Excited
All Norfolk is aflutter with eX-
citement over the worldwide in
terest that has become focused
on Curtis, Burrage, and DR.. Dob
Son-Peacock.
Amid quite a fanfare, the three
mediators held conference last
evening at the rectory of Christ
Episcoral ~',u"ch. DR.. Dobson.
Peacock had only a few hours
earlier returned from an airplane
trip to Lindbergh's home. The
three men conferred for about
an hour before the minister, who
seems to be the spokesm a n,
emerged to make a statement to
the press and the "talkieS."
Fully 1000 spectators had as
sembled in the street in front of
the rectory. Most of them were
women with babies in their arms,
or with babies in buggies. Scores
Of cars we're parked along the
thoroughfare. Policemen held
back the crowd. On the porch of
the minister's home fully 40 re-
porters and camera men were
congregated. No such excitement
had been witnessed in Norfolk for
many a day, if ever before.
DR.. DobSon-Peacock emerged
from the conference with Curtis
and Admiral Burrage. There was
a burst of handclapping. This was
followed by silence as the pastor
standing on the veranda, raised
his. hand, in which he clasped a
typewriter statement which he
proceeded to read to the press
