 Then, the body of her baby was found. He had been brutally mur- dered. The body was left in mud bog in the woods within sight of the Lindbergh estate.
 The tiny body was identified by means of the dainty infant gar- ments found on the body.
 Mrs Lindbergh never saw the mutilated body of her first born. Colonel Lindbergh went alone into the mortuary at Trenton, N. J.. grief-stricken and bowed by the tragedy and strain of the long months he had searched for his son. He stood there silently ex- afaining the small form.
 "Yes it is my son." he replied bluntly to a question.
 The baby was cremated.
 Slowly the great police force moved out of the lonely Lindbergh home in the Sourland Hills. The Lindberghs finally closed the estate and came to the Morrow home hsse, on the wooded hills above Englewood to await the birth Of her second child.
 The great estate. fianked by great old green foliaged trees, had been especially prepared for the birth of both children. A separate wing had been made ready in each case

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 30.-Fac-
tional strife within the Democratic
party and wet-dry right in Re-
publican ranks created bitterness
and enthusiasm as Californians
voted today to nominate candidates
for United States senator, congress-
men, state legislature and the ap-
pellate bench,
The old political rivalry Of VIII
liam Gibbs McAdoo. former sec
retary of the treasury, and former
Governor Alfred E. Smith Of New
York, was a major issue in the
Democratic senatorial race.
McAdoo, himself a candidate, op-
posed Justus S. Wardell, San Fran
cisco, recognized until the recent
Democratic national convention as
nominal head OF the party in Cali
fornia.
Wardell, who supported Smith
for president in 1923, was an ardent
campaigner for Franklin D. Roose-
velt, and headed the ticket which
sought to win California's conyen-
ton votes for the New Yorker.
McAdoo blocked this movement,
however and won the states dele
CATION for John Nance Garner.
Shortly after this, and just prior
TO the national convention, Nc
Adoo announced his own candidacy
and, armed with CALIFORNIA; "A
votes for Garner. he went TO the
convention.
His history making coup, in
which Gamer withdrew and the
California and Texas delegations
cast their votes for Roosevelt,
bringing about his nomination, pre-
cipitated the split with Wardell.
Wardell charged McAdoo with
engineering this switch to wreak
