MANY ISSUES ARE INVOLVED
 kIDNAP CASE
Unanswered Questions En- hance Importance of
 Inside" Work

HCPEWELL, N. J., March 12- Countless questions face investi- gators seeking to solve the kidnap- ping. of Charles Augustus Lind berg, Jr., the worlds most famous baby"
 Countless possibilities must be checked in attempting to recon struct the Kidnapping. What are investigators doing specifically? The public, further removed from the scene, is puzzled by additional gaps in information caused to some ex- tent by necessary official secrecy.
 The following list of questions shows the various leads that have been run down by those seeking to solve the Kidnapping. Some of these questions are answered in news articles. Investigators are seeking the answers to others as they work on the case.
 How was the kidnapper able to time the visit so perfectly?
 How did he learn the Lindberghs would remain at Hopewell two days longer than they had intended?
 Did he stumble upon any inside information as to what time the baby would be alone and unguard- ed2
 If the baby slept alone all night why did the kidnapper enter be- tween 7:30 P. M. and 10 P. M. in-s stead of waiting until Colonel ana Mrs. Lindbergh were asleep? Had he figured on boldly attempting to escape by the 10 P. M. train from knowing that police would expect him to use ma auto?
 Were there any unusual circum- stances which explain why no one was within earshot of the baby.

PROVED FALSE. MYTH PERSISTS
 ABOUT THE BOY
Idle Gossip Says Lindbergh Baby, Deaf and Dumb
 Perfectly Normal

HCPEWELL N. J. March 12.- Not even the tragedy of the Lind bergh Kidnapping prevails entirely against the myths that have been built up about the Lindbergh baby. Many persons in the United States picture the child as a deaf and dumb defective.
 Gossip may be charged with this belief, which is as widespread as 1t is erroneous. The truth is that Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., was, at the time he was abducted, as healthy a youngster as any mother and father could desire and per- fectly normal.
 But the gossips, irked probably by Colonel Lindbergh's refusal to let his son grow up under the spot light, refuse to have it so. In ef- feet they have insisted-sometimes by the most vicious sort of innuen- do--hat any child must be peculiar whose parents refuse to show 1t off.
 Begun On Flight
 This propaganda concerning the Lindbergh baby began with the pre- natal flight across the continent on Easter Sunday. 1880 Dire things were predicted as a result Column ists had their say; old ladies shook their heads; it was authoritatively reported that the child had been born prematurely due to the trans- continental flight; that it had been brought into the world dead.
 These rumors, which the Lind berghs scorned to dignify by a de- nial. were refuted in the course of time, but they sprang up again in different form and with renewed vigor.

FIVE SUSPECTS


 HOPEWELL, N. J., March 12.-Of five men suspected of stealing the baby son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lind bergh from his crib on the night of March 1, two drop- ped out.
 One of tn ese m who abandoned the plot, whic h was conceived, according to all beliefs, last November, has been brought here from the T o m b S Prison, New York City.
 Another is being sought in an attempt to find the three others who are believed to have carried the plot through.
 The Tombs prisoners name is closely guarded. He was brought here after he had been interviewed by Morris Rosner, underworld agent for the Lindberghs.
 If this clue reveals any, thing, it changes the situa- tion expressed by New York man-hunters that the plot was executed by those on the '.in- side"
 Appeal Made
 A circular offering every one in the underworld to give information under a pledge of strict secrecy, has been sent to every police de- pertinent in the country after ap- proved by J. Edgar Hoover, Chief of the Bureau of Investigation of the United States Department of Justice.
 Later, the New Jersey State Po- lice denied the plea granting im- munity to the abductors them selves.
 Detectives Views
 Acting Captain James Coy, of the New York force, one of the detectives who broke the Rosen- thai abduction, and Michael Fias- chetti, Italian veteran of a score of Black Hand abductions, have in- sisted on the inside job" clue.
 Fiaschetti was sure it was not a professional job.
 How could they expect to get the moneyP Why pick on a man so prominent as Lindbergh? They talk about gang from the Middle West. A gang would know that it's much easier to get $100,00O from a lucky gambler or racketeer than kidnap the best-known baby in the world. Whats more, a gang would not know where the baby slept, which window was unfastened. what time the child was put to bed and when the nurse was out of the room.
 Concentrate on the Servants
 This was an inside job, done by somebody with brains enough to plan the job. but not enough ex- perienee to see how hard it would be to collect. If I were on the case I would concentrate on people who knew the house. They talk about workmen. All right, workmen could know where the room was. But how would they know the child was alone, how would they know about the unlocked screen?"

Says Every Farmer
Should Have Garden

Dickinson, N. D.. Feb. 19.-P,-
Every farm should have a good vege-
table garden, says c. c. Eastgate,
Stark county agent, in his campaign
to aid the farmers of the county to
overcome depressed conditions.
He claims that if every farmer in
the county will devote some of his
farm to the raising of vegetables he
will not find the winter months
"burdened with store bills" If plant
ed and cared for in the proper man
ner, he said, the garden plot will
produce more per acre than any other
crop that can be raised.
AS a source of profitable returns
for labor expended" Eastgate stated,
there is no piece of ground on the
farm which can compare with the
garden. Half an acre Of garden may
easily produce $3.50 worth of food.
The garden is one place where the
middle man may be eliminated be-
cause the crop goes direct from the
field to the consumers table,"
