Six big question marks one after each
name. viii they ever be erased?

Why were they killed?
Elaborate Science Fails.
Somebody must know But all the
elaborate science of modern crime de-
lection thus far has failed to supply the
answers, or at least to make them
public.

so have these crimes Knocked the efforts
of criminologists.

month later, knowing he stood alone
against one Of the greatest manhunts
in history, and accepted 1000 ransom
for a dead baby.
That he was the kidnaper. or close
ally, was evidenced by the fact that he
had produced a garment worn by the
baby when he was stolen.
The serial numbers on every bill IN
that ransom package have been pub
lished far and wide, the shrewdest
brains of the Nations crime detectors
have been called into play-even the
underworld joined in the hunt-but the
slayer Of the Lindbergh baby goes free.
