kidnapping Is No Longer
Paying Business

the kidnapping of the Lindbergh
baby that compelled the Con-
gress in June, 1882, to enact
the Federal KIDNAPPING law.
Under this law, the Federal
Government is given jurisdiction
over kidnapping when the vic
Tins are transported in inter
state commerce and held for
ransom or reward.
Under this law, as enforced
by the Federal Government,
the Department of Justice oces
not wait to find out whether
the victim has been taken
across State lines, but assumes
Jurisdiction as soon as a kid
mapping is reported.
This procedure is bringing re-
suits as the record proves. It
exemplifies the ability of gov
eminent to deal with crime
when government is effectively
organized and intelligently d.
rected.
The study which Director
Hoover and the members Of his
staff have made of the history
of the crime of kidnapping IN
this country shows that in al
most every case the kidnaper
is possessed of previous crin1l'
nal record.

Perfect Record

Under Mr.. Hoover's direction,
and with the assistance Of the
carefully selected, thoroughly
trained and courageous agents
who constitute his national
staff, SO major kidnapping cases
have been quickly cleared up
since June, 1882, and the kid
napers punished by death, life
Imprisonment, or Imprisonment
for long terms.
In fact every kidnapping case
since the Lindbergh law be-
came effective in June, 1882,
which has been handled by the
Division of Investigation, has
been solved.
The latest of these crimes &C.
Cured on November 9, 1888,
when a young man in Santa
Clara, Cal, was kidnapped while
on his way home for supper.
AS soon as the case was re-
ported to the Department OF
Justice, Director Hoover sent
his special squad of agents to
San Francisco to augment the
members of his staff stationed
in that city.
On Wednesday, November Is,
the two men guilty of this kid
mapping were caught in a trap
set by the agents of the De-
partment of Justice assigned to
the case and finally confessed
their crimes, which included
the murder of their victim
within two hours after he was
kidnapped. These criminals nave
been turned over to The State
of California for trial for muir
der in less than week after
they committed their crime.
The only kidnapping case in
the last two years which re-
mains unSolved is the one
which was not handled by the
Department of JuStice-the
Lindbergh case. Had the State
of New Jersey promptly called
upon the Department of Justice
to take the lead in the handling
of this case. there is every rea-
son to believe that the kid
napers of the Lindbergh baby
would no longer be skulking
through the land Of the living.
It was the righteous indign4-
ton of the country arousedsN

States Cooperate

This study shows also that
in far too many cases the kid
naper has been able to escape
the punishment due him for
previous OffenSeS. This escape
has come through a political
pardon, through a parole or
probation obtained by crook
ed methods, or through the de-
based activity of an unscrupu-
lOuS lawyer who hires himself
out, as Attorney General Cum
mings rightly says, to laid
criminals in their unlawful
undertakings and to employ
every unworthy artifice in
their defense"
BY solving every kidnapping
case it has handled since Con-
gress made kidnapping a Federal
crime, Director Hoover'S Divi-
sion of Investigation has de-
monstrated how imperative it
is that the forces Of Govern
ment in their war on crime
should be intelligently led and
effectively coordinated.
This the Federal Government
has done in dealing with the
crime of kidnapping. It can be
done in dealing with other
major crimes if Congress and
the States will clear the way.
Recommendations for legislation
to this end will be made to
the next Congress by Attorney
General Cummings and later
to the several States.
"Organized crime" as the
Attorney General truly says,
"is an open challenge to our
civilization, and the manner
in which we meet it is a test
Of our capacity for self govern
ment."

EVERYONE WHO LOVES,

For faithlessness is not merely
a wallowing of the flesh. It is a

which we betray love, and those

other ways, equally vicious.

Yet who has a right to judge

the thing we all want; the thing
we are all striving to attain.
But we all fall short of it in
some way.
And sometimes those who
reach the highest, fall the low

we all have failed?

After Ten Years

To establish his identity the
police had him photographed
and placarded the town and
newspapers with the picture.
Two women came forward to
claim him as their husband, the
one Signora Cannella, the other
Signora Bruneri.
Mrs. Bruneri insisted that he
was her husband, a thief and
a fugitive from justice. Mrs.
Cannella was equally positive
that he was the Professor, and
just as the two women of the
Bible took the baby to Solomon,
so did these two take their man
to the courts of II Duce. Finger
prints marked the man as
Bruneri, but the Cannellas in
sisted the finger prints had
erred.
Finally after several more
years it was irrevocably written
into the record that this man
from the cemetery of Turin was
Bruneri, the swindler. And he
was made to stand trial, con-

Faithful to the end and wait
