l6O on Liner Scrutinized by Police In
Hart Kidnapping.

SAN PEDRO, Calf, November II
RD-An airplane dash from San Fran
CISCO and an exhaustive search of an
ocean liner here proved futile today
Tor police and Federal agents seeking
the kidnapers of Brooke L. Hart OF
San Jose.
The Northern officers, assisted by
squads Of police and detectives here
and ships officers, spent hours exam

ported slowed away on the ships San

with his daughter, and some 160 other
passengers we're detained while the
search went on.
The finding of wallet belonging to
the wealthy young San Jose merchant.
reported to be held for $4,000 ransom.
prompted the search. This was found
last night on the guard rail of a fuel
ship that had been moored>> alongside
the Lurline in San Francisco Bay.
Officers figured the wallet had ben
thrown from the Lurline, and they
raced down here on a night air trans
port and were awaiting for the Lurline
to berth.
Ships officers reported two strange
men yesterday brushed past pursers,
without tickets demanding to see some
passengers, and the officers had not
seen the men leave the ship. This led
to the belief that kidnapping suspects
might be slowed away.
Chief of Police j. NJ Black of San
Jose was checking a rumor that young
Hart had incurred debts of which other
members OF his family did not know.
He said he had found no verihcation
of it.
John sepulveda. rancher, told police
ne saw young Harts motor car, with a
man answering the general description
of the missing youth. standing beside
1t alone and apparently tinkering with
headlight, at the exact spot where
the car was found several hours after
the disappearance. This Sepulveda
said, was between 7:05 pm. and 7:20
pm. Thursday, 10 miles north of here.
Sepulveda's report served to discount
the theory that young Hart may have
been seized Immediately after leaving
the store In which he was a partner
with his father.
San Jose officers questioned Miss
Hane Hammond of Sacramento, a stu
dent at San Jose State College, who had
attended social functions with young
Hart, but she was unable to shed any
light on the case.
