Third Kidnaper
Being Hunted

DETROIT, May 8 U.N.S0:
Search for a third kidnaper OF
Peggy McMath, 10, IS being &C
lively pushed by Massachusetts,
State police, Trent McMath,
assistant United States district
attorney and uncle of the child,
said today.
McMath, returning from the
scene of the abduction at Har-
wich, Mass, said John Doe
warrant was still out for a "poSs1-
BILE third kidnaper."
Fear that the terror of her ex-
perience may leave a permanent
scar on the sensitive mind OF
the little girl, was expressed by
her paternal grandparents, Mr..
and Mrs. Francis c. McMath.
ooh, that's terrible. 1t just
sets me frantic to ssink Of It,"
So said white-haired Mrs. Nc
Math when she was told details
of Peggy's confinement in a three
foot cellar in which there was an
open cistern. Then the chlld'S
grandfather, a wealthy engineer
and famous builder Of bridges,
added:

responsible must be punished

A speedy trial. probably within
six weeks, will be given them. It
is planned to summon the grand
jury into special session in the
near future to vote indictments
against them.
Unlike the Lindbergh case, this
kidnapping had a happy ending
and Peggy" is back home with
her overjoyed parents, safe and
unframed.
The 100000 ransom which was
paid has been recovered.
The kidnaper, Kenneth Buck,
was a craven figure today. He
is % years old, an unemployed
chauffeur, married and the father
of a siX-year-old boy, Kenneth, jr.
He faces a long term in prison
The crime Of kidnaping carries a
maximum penalty in this State
of IS years. The extortion charge
probably will add an additional
penalty of is years, or 40 years
in all.

Seven Women Picked for Jury to Try
Means and Fox in Kidnap Plot

proved to be a part of the wild
goose" chase.
The story Of Means big hoax
broke May S, two months almost
to a day after the disappearance
of the Lindbergh baby.
The plot was the climax OF
Means. almost incredible career,
although the reward of his swim.
die, 100000, was trivial compared
with sums he claims to have re-
ceived for less ingenius schemes.
The German government, he once
declared, paid him 100000 for
spy duty in this country.
Told Weird Tale
At the time of his arrest he
told an Arabian Night story OF
having given the money to a mys'
FERROUS stranger, known as mo
H." on the Washington-Alex'
andria Road. The number, he
said, was the code word agreed
upon by Mrs. Mclean.
He protested he had acted ir
good faith as Mrs. McLean's
agent that she had sought him
to assist her in finding the child
and that when she, after repeated
failures to contact the. kidnaperS
had demanded the return of hel
100000 he had, as he thought
dutifully turned it over to hel
representative.
Mrs. Mclean admitted she haC
originally sent for Means. MOI
did she deny that she had de
scribed him as "ten times smarter
than Al Capone" when that gen
tleman was mentioned as a pos
sible go-between for the Lind
berghs and the kidnapers.
Means assured her that he knew
the kidnapers and that the leader
of the gang had suggested the
scheme to him when both were
serving sentences in Atlanta.
COnfide in Priest
He agreed to taking Captain
Emory Land, U. S. NJ, a friend
Of Colonel Lindbergh's, and Father
Francis j. Hurney' of the Church
Of the Immaculate Conception
into their confidence.

s RIGHTS
To Be GUARDED
IN RAIL PLAN
Sec. Roper Tells House New
System Will Be essen
TALLY Experimental"

The Administrators railroad
reorganization and rehabilitation
legislation was described as "es-
sentially experimental" before
the House Interstate and Foreign
Commerce Committee today by
Secretary Of Commerce Roper.
Z Appearing as the first witness
before House Committee hearings
on the railroad bill, he outlined
its provisions and assured the
rights of labor we're amply pro-
tected.
Labor Rights Preserved
He conceded that labor organi-
cations would not be represented
on regional co-ordinating com.
mittees under the bill, but said
all the rights labor now has
under State and Federal law
were preserved. Labor is safe
guarded in its collective bargain
| inc right under the measure, too,
Roper said. He asserted:
1.-THE purpose Of the bill is
To assist the railroads to help
themselves, and 1t IS essentlany
experimental"
Going into the operating pro-
vision of the proposed measure,
Roper said:
"The mechanics Of operation
consist of regional COOrd1natlng
committees, with whom a Fedora!
officer called c0OrdinatOr WILL
cooperate for q period Of not
more than two years. The CO
OrdinatOr is to divide the roads
of the country into three gen.
eral regions and maintain con-
facts with the roads of each
region through committees OF
five members for each region.
SELECT THEIR OWN
"These committees are to be
selected by the roads them
selves, the right Of selection
being based on road mileage"

DR.. w. M. w. Splawn, utilities
counsel for the House committee
He said it was expected savings
effected through operation of the
bill would be passed on to ship
pers and employees, if they were
substantial.
He said the third section of the
bill is most important as it places
the success of the plan directly
upon the rail executives. This is
the section which divides the
roads into eastern, southern and
western divisions.
Splawn said there was nothing
in the bill which would enable the
Federal coordinator to increase
traffic or change rates. The pur
pose Of the bill. he testified, was
to reduce expenses and conserve
resources of the carriers. The rate
functions remained with the
Interstate Commerce Commission

declared he had contacted the
kidnapers. He said he had held
the child in his arms. The gang,
he told Mrs. Mclean, had placed
a price of 100000 on the infant.
On March Z, a week after the
kidnapping, the money was given
to Means. That was the last
Mrs. Mclean ever saw of it.
Then followed series OF
mysterious negotiations. Cod e
numbers were agreed upon. Mrs
Mclean went, at Means direction,
first to Aiken, S. c., and then to
Ell Paso, Tex, to take possession
of the child.
At Aiken she first met, "The
Fox" who, Means told her, was
contact man for the kidnapers
The Fox" has since been 1denti-
fled by Mrs. Mclean and others
as Norman Whitaker, disbarred
Washington lawyer and one-time
chess champion.
Asks More Cash
At this point Means, according
to Mrs. Mclean, must have de
cided again to tap the flow Of
gold and tried to persuade hel
to advance an additional $35, 00C
to the alleged kidnapers. She
refused.
After a month of futile trips
on the part of Mrs. Mclean and
vague promises on that Of Means
the former became suspicious
On April II, in the presence OF
Father Hurney, she demanded
that Means return the money
Means agreed and said he woulc
go to a place in North Carolins
where he had hidden it anc
bring it to her.
