Tombs Prison, in New York, who was
brought here yesterday after Morris
Rosner, expert fixer, acting as Col.

viewed him at the prison. His name
was as closely guarded as his person

manned at liberty picked up the aban-
doned plot and carried 1t through By
stealing Charles Augustus Lindbergh,

closely guarded of all the fitting figures
working behind the screen encircling

deputy commissioner of correction, in
New York, admitted Rosner visited the
Tombs. but he added that ANY state
