NASHVILLE, Tenn, September
PA E. Distelhurst, father Of g.
year-old Dorothy Ann Distelhurst,
missing since Wednesday, said early
today he was convinced his daughter
had been kidnapped. He said he had
a definite man in mind as having
engineered the abduction and that
officers had agreed to hold off while
he tried to contact the kidnapers.
The first indication that there was
more than surmise to the belief that
the child had been kidnapped came
when Distelhurst issued the following
note to newspapers:
ITO whoever has my daughter:
please contact me in any manner
you choose. The way is open. A. E.
Distelhurst, sr"
Issuance of the note followed con-
ference with a Department of Justice
representative, Distelhurst said.
Distelhurst, said Police Inspector
John Griffin, director of the investi-
CATION into the girls disappearance,
agreed to halt further police activity
about the Distelhurst home in East
Nashville in order to give the cb-
ductors an opportunity to respond to
the appeal.

woman's testimony. District Attorney
Samuel Foley of Bronx County de-
clared today. led to several OF yes
terday's important developments" in
the Bruno Richard Hauptmann eX-
tortion case.
Foley declined to amplify this an
nouncement.
Earlier the district attorney said
that a woman. Mrs. Max Hlnkel,
had been questioned in his office
this morning. She had been unable
to tell him anything he considered
significant, Foley declared.
Knows Fisch Is Dead.
Foley said that Isadore Fisch, the
man Hauptmann has said gave him
the Lindbergh ransom money be-
fore departing for Germany, died
there last March.
Il am told this" he added, "by one
who attended the funeral at his peo-
pies home IN Leipzig"
Foley said he did not know if there
had been any loan transactions be-
tween Fisch and Hauptmann.
Hauptmann maintained brokerage
account with the firm of Steiner 81
Rouse in the Yorkville section of Man
haitian. Foley said.
In reply to a query concerning re-
ports that the account had amounted
to a large amount, $4,000, the dis
trict attorney said:
Il believe SO, but can't say for sure
until I get the audit"
He expected to get the account rec
ords later today. he said.
Assistant Chief Inspector John j.
Sullivan, head of New York Citys de-
tective force, who has held stead
tasty to his belief Hauptmann did not
play a lone hand in his alleged part
in the kidnap case, sent his detectives
on the trail of a woman he believes
aided Hauptmann.
Sullivan pointed out that footprints
of a woman were found beneath the
windows of the Lindbergh home near
Hopewell, N j., the blustery night of
March /, 1882, shortly after the kid
naping of 2O-month-old Charles Au-
gustus Lindbergh, jr., was discovered.
Will Check Footprints.
The footprint of a man also was
found near the foot of the ladder
which the kidnaper leaned against the
house and down which he went with
the baby from the second floor window
of the nursery. That footprint was to
be checked, New Jersey State police
said, with footprints of Hauptmann.
Despite the expressed belief of other
investigators that Hauptmann had no
aid. Sullivan has held TO his view that
it was not one-man job" Also he
has held that If Hauptmann was not
actually at the scene of the kidnapping,
he had a hand in the machinery"
It was in pursuit of this theory that
Sullivan sent his detectives today in
search of the mystery woman. Moth
ing was disclosed as to her identity or
her possible connection with the case.
DR.. John F. Condor, the "Jafsie"
who acted as intermediary for Col.
Lindbergh in his efforts to obtain the
safe return of the baby, also expressed
the belief today that Hauptmann was
involved and that he was not alone.
Condor said he believed at least
three persons we're involved and, re-
calling that Hauptmann had explained
his possession of the S13,750 in ran
som notes found in his garage by
stating it had been intrusted to him
by Fisch said he thought police should

pistol fashioned of wood, Pierpont and
Makley were unsuccessful in attempt
ing to bluff Ohio prison guards with
weapons made from soap.
Perfect limitations"
The weapons. those who saw them
said, were perfect limitations" of a
.32-caliber revolver and an automatic
pistol.
More than a dozen shots were fired
by prison guards who rushed to the
L-block, where condemned prisoners
are housed, in response to an alarm
sounded by Guard John T. Jones, who
senSed the attempt at break as soon
as he saw the two prisoners outside
their cells and in the cage surround
ing the L-block.
The story of the attempted break
by the condemned Dillinger gansters
to escape as told by Deputy Warden
j. c. Woodward follows:
Two guards we're in the death
house when the attempted break was
made o. E. Slagle was inside the
cage within which are the death cells.
A guard, C. w. Pfarr. was seated on
a table outside the cage. A guard, j.
T. Jones, was in a little guard room
separating the death house from the
L-cell block.
Food Being Put in Cell.
"Slagle was in the cage putting a
meal into Pierpont's cell. Pierpont
told him he did not feel good and
wanted some salts.
LAS the guard turned away from
the cell door, Pierpont hit him with
his fist and said, Give me that key.
"Slagle refused and Pierpont struck
him again and took the key away
from him.
He then produced his gun made
of soap and blackened and marched
down the cage and unlocked Russell
Clark's cell door.
They then opened all the cells and
turned loose all eight men in the
death house.

The challenger made up most of her

An end to the most widespread
textile strike in the country's history
appeared an imminent possibility
| today.
Despite smouldering hostility and
scattered violence, a personal appeal
from President Roosevelt apparently
frightened prospects for quick peace
as the Executive Council of the
United Textile Workers gathered for
| a crucial meeting today. A decision
on whether to call off the strike or
not was expected at 2:30 pm.
There was every indication the
strike might be called off, effective
Monday, if employers agreed to &C
cept the recommendations of the
! Presidential Mediation Board headed
by Gov. John G. Winant of New
| Hampshire.
The President expressed the hope
at Hyde Park, N. Y, yesterday that
all employees now out on strike will
return to work and that all textile
manufacturers will take back en-
ployes without discrimination"
AT the same time" he said, Il am
confident that manufacturers will aid
the Government in the carrying out
of the steps outlined"
Attitude Unknown.
The attitude of employers toward
the Winant boards report remained
undisclosed, although George A.
Sloan, head of the Cotton Textile In
stitute, said:
l i..tn tAl -
| (the President has seen fit to ex-
press directly to such employees in
this industry as are now idle his sin
cere wish that they return to work.
The President is fully justified in his
belief that this industry will give
most sincere consideration to any
program which he proposed.
This industry has from the begin
ming of the National Recovery Ad-
ministration been foremost in support
of his efforts for betterment of work.
ing conditions in economic recovery.
A majority of our employees are now
| at work. I am recommending that
closed mills be reopened as soon as
possible"
Certain parts of this statement

shocking taste"
Refusal to Cooperate"
"The light and sweetness with which
Mr.. Sloan steps around the Presidents
request to him is typical. His refusal
to cooperate is in harmony with his
previous attitude, but whether he can
stand against the President in any
thing more than figure of speech is
quite probably another question"
Asserting there is such a thing as
riding high horse too far" German
continued:
Mr.. Sloan undertakes to say that
he Is recommending that closed mills
open as soon as possible. Mr. Sloan
may recommend, but the mills will
open when the union makes it possible
We closed them. More are closed to-
day than were closed yesterday. A
half million are on strike"
Our attitude of cooperation with
the President continues" he said. I'VE
look to the President to induce the
cooperation of mill management, for
which Mr.. Sloan seems for the
moment to be the foundering mouth
piece"
Ernest w. Hood, president of the
National Association of Cotton Manu-
facturers. in statement at Boston,
said "a vast majority of mills signify
their intent to accede to the Presi-
dents request to open mills as soon ss
possible"
The winant boards labors have
ended with its report, which recon-
mended a special textile labor board
