STRANGE KIDNAPPING
STORY IS FINISHED
BY MEANS IN court
Alleged Hoaxer Tells Weird
Tale; Insists Lindbergh Son
Still Alive

washington. May 13.-(R)-Gaston
B. Means kept his promise Friday
and gave what he swears is the real
low-down" on the Lindbergh baby
kidnapping mystery.
It was inscribed Saturday in the
records of the District Of Columbia
supreme court where for two days
sensation shocked crowds have been
held in breathless suspense by one Of
the most amazing stories ever un-
folded.
Means, the secret operative extra
ordinary, hunter Of Communists and
convicted swindler, brought his mar
rative to an astounding climax Fri
day with testimony that the body
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh iden-
titled as his first-born son was In
reality "plant" and not the real
Lindbergh child"
A weekend recess was taken in
Means trial Saturday. He and Nor
man r. Whitaker are accused OF
conspiring to steal $685. 900 from Mrs.
Evalyn Walsh Mclean, distinguished
society woman, on the pretext that
they could ransom and recover the
stolen child of the famous flier.
Gave Intimate Details
In his testimony Means gave the
names Of kidnapers, how the Lind
bergh baby was stolen, where Mrs.
McLean,s money was hidden and
told of q rambling chase over half
the country in an effort to recover
the tiny victim.
The defendant testified that Well
lington Henderson Of Detroit, whom
he described as the ring-leader Of
the kidnapers, was the one who told
him that the body found near Hope
well was plant" That was on
May II, 1882.
Henderson told me-" Means said,
that the real Lindbergh baby was
alive then and in Juarez, Mexico"
When Means had finished, Dis
trict Attorney Leo A. Rover declined
to cross-examine. Then he changed
his mind and drew from the witness
admissions that the chief actors in
his story are now dead.
One of the highlights Of the trial
Friday was when Rover asked where
Henderson and Fenton could be
found.
Means promptly said he knew that
they could be located "along the Ca
madam border near Detroit" Then
he fumbled through his notebook
and gave the addresses as "34l9 or
2419 Grand River avenue, Detroit,
Michigan"
Rover said Saturday efforts would
be made over the weekend to find
the alleged kidnapers, but he indi-
Gated he expected little result.

Bethel A. c. E.
League No. -

The interesting discussion, How
Can the Negro Eliminate Race
was efficiently led by
Miss Thelma Wingo. The prevail
ing opinion of the group seemed
10 lean toward the conclusion that
prejudice can only be eliminated,
when the Negro makes himself the
equal or contemporaries In educa-
ton. culture, and economics; also
that the race will always be re-
strcted and criticized, so long as
the group has not greater respect
for itself and things distinctivoly
its own.
The point was brought out that
the Negro must make constant ef-
fort to bring out all distinct racial
attributes; and that the race must
not lose sight OF tho world broth
orhood o. all men.
Others expressed the view Tint
prejudice is the effect OF economic
conditions; as the economic sys-
tenn under which we live, fosters
and perpetuates the idea OF IN
feriorlty OF the group.
After tho discussion, the league
was entertained by the singing OF
Jim Taylor's Melody Lads, ospeci-
ally the rendition OF Swing

Isaacs.
