had gone there with the Lindbergh
baby, ready to deliver it to her. only
to find she wasn't there. They said
they then had driven the baby to Col.
Guggenheims home, along with the
nurse. and that Guggenheim had turned
the baby down. The nurse called to
them to come on back and they left
Immediately.
Henderson and Fenton wanted to
know to whom they were to give the
baby and whether they were going to
get the 100000. I told them they were
to deliver the baby to Mrs. Mclean and
they would get the money.
Il went to Mrs. Mclean and urged
her to go out to Farview. She said it
was impossible to go out until the next
day. 1 reported this to Henderson and
Fenton.
On March 10 Mrs Mclean went to
Farview. Henderson and Fenton had
the place watched. however. and they
came to me and asked me what kind of
proposition they were being put up to
anyhow-that they had seen two auto
mobile drivers, a nurse, maid, Mrs.
Mclean and another man and they
couldn't go ahead under those circum-
stances.
Il went to Mrs. Mclean and told her
she was violating her agreement by
having so many people out there. These
men wanted 48 hours in which to get
away. My only object in the case was
to insure safe return of the baby.
told Mrs Mclean if she kept on put
ting obstacles in the way, there was no
telling what would happen to the baby.
Told of Hunt for Baby.
Il then talked to Henderson and
Henderson said they had moved South.
He asked me if 1 realized every car
with baby in it. was being stopped by
the police and being searched and they
were in great danger of discovery. I
told him l knew the difficulties they
were laboring under. He wanted to
know if Mrs. Mclean was up to any
trick. told him I was sure she was
playing square and urged him to 20
ahead and deliver the baby. He said
they would see about that"
They knew my brother had a plan
tation down at Concord, N C. You
see, I E.d known Henderson and Fen
ton since 1927 or 1928 They asked
about delivering the baby down there.
I said that would be all right. They
were to let me know later what they
would do Henderson and Fenton
wanted to know If Mrs Mclean thought
she was giving a tea patt;-tn,r at.
parently she didn't realize the serious
ness Of this thing. They said i would
have to go South. I told Mrs Nc
Lean I was going South. On March
10 I telephoned Col. Guggenheim
was up against hard proposition, with
Mrs. Mclean falling down on me like
that and everything. I asked Guggen-
helm if he could arrange for an en-
bassy car to deliver the baby and he
said he would go to the Austrian en-
baSsy, think it was. and get their car.
Borrowed Embassy Car.
"I asked Guggenheim if the baby
had been delivered to his home. Ne
said yes. Did you accept it?' I asked
him. No. he replied. I asked him why
and asked him didn't he know + WIS
going to contact the kidnapers and re-
turn the baby. He said he would 60
get the embassy car at once and would
call me later. He called me q coup@
of hours afterward and said he couldn't
keep the car any longer and told him
to turn it back"
Means said early on the morning of
March II he entrained for Salisbury, N.
c., and arrived there at IL am. after
driving the automobile from there to
Concord, where his sister lives. He said
a policeman met him at the train when
he got off and sought to learn his rea-
son for being there and that the police
man also asked the man from whom he
hired the automobile to try and learn
whether Means was working on the
Lindbergh case. 80
