FARMER SAYS

HOPEWELL, N. j., May Is
G.N.SO.-The body Of the Lind
bergh baby might have been
placed under the old oak tree on
the Mt. Hopewell.Princeton Road
within the last few weeks, in the
opinion of Robert Buffet, a
farmer, who lives nearest the spot
where the skeleton was found.
For Buffet, who has been con-
fined to his house with asthma,
thinks it is mighty strange no
buzzards circled over the spot
during the two and a half months
since the baby vanished. He said:
Usually, when a dead ami
NAL is lying around, they fly
round and round and call
your attention to it,"
Buffet plainly was puzzled. He
said:
you see, two weeks after
the crime was committed the
state troopers came, went
through my house, and were
all over the place. I have 80
acres, and they say the spot
where the body was located
was on the edge of my land.

AS LAIR,
k|DNAP THEORY

TRENTON, N. j.. May 10
GN.S0 One of the theories
upon which the police seeking to
solve the Lindbergh mystery were
working today was that one of
the shacks in the Sourland Noun
tains region may have been the
hiding place of the kidnapers with
the baby for brief period-per-
hapS an hour or two.
If the persons who stole the
baby were kidnapers and not some
maniac, the authorities reason
that their natural tendency would
be, once they had stolen the
child, to take it to a hiding place
as quickly as possible.
The police today inclined to
the theory that the kidnaperS may
have gone to one of the numerous
shacks that dot the mountain
region, prepared to wait in the
confident belief Colonel Lindbergh
would not cause an alarm to be
sent out.
However, they theorize further,
when the alarm was sounded and
police cars began roaring over
the roads in the vicinity, the kid
naperS, realizing their plans had
gone awry. became alarmed and
decided to get rid of the child.
