no more overtures. He indicated only yesterday he believed Juno would Do returned soon.
 State and local authorities sur. rendered the investigatoin to Jo. seph Dunn, chief federal operative here. Dunn declined to discuss the reports of ransom payment.
 Two Clues are Found
 He revealed, however, that he had wired Chicago agents to send two technical experts to Tucson to examine two garbage cans found in the cell in which June was chained by her ankles.
 The cans, ono of which con- tained drinking water, were the principal clues in tho case except. Ing the letter. which also will b. sent to Chicago in nn effort to trace tho sender.
 Safely resorted to her parents, June was given medical treatment. Physicians said she would suffer no permanent effects from her cruel experience.
 Local People Sought
 Local residents were sought by department of justice agents to- day as the inhuman kidnapers of six year old June Robles who kept her chained In a hole in the ground 10 days. Tho child, weak from tho torture of Imprisonment and lonoliness, was under the con. stant care of physicians. The child, approaching exhaus- 'tion when she was released, was mentally alert and physically sound however, and attendants expressed belief she would recover rapidly after n few days of complete rest.
 Department Of justice agents, who began at once n nationwide search for tho kidnnpers, indicated their belief that the crime was fashioned by "local amatourB".
 An air mall letetr mailed in Chi- cago and addressed to the gover- map which when followed lod to Juno's prison In the desert, nine miles from Tucson. Agents deduct cd that tho kidnnpors, frightened by developments and in full flight from Tucson paused long enough In Chicago to send tho letotr that undoubtedly saved their victim from an inch inch death from starvation.
 Believed Amateurs
 Because the kldnapers displayed n good knowledge of tho affairs of her father, Fernando Robles and her grandfather Bornnbe Robles, they believed tho kidnnpers were local residents and amateurs.
 Tho lioblcs family was wild witE Joy and the entire town of Tucson joined in some measure in their juhilatiOn. Talk of lynching was universal and authorities said the kidnapors would bo fully protected if md when captured.
 The letter was sent from Phoenix to Tucson by motorcycle policc' mnn yesterday. County Attorney Clarence Houston with several deputies followed the crude map and came upon tho hole in the des- crt covered over by wood and scrap Iron and concealed by cactus and mesquite. lt was no in the open air and severi- degrees hotetr iE the hole.
 After the child had been put to bed, her matted hair cOmbed out and the filth washed from her sunburned. emaciated body. crowds milled about the streets.
 Houston told how he looked down through hole in the crude sheet iron covering over the hole and saw June's legs.
 "I thought she was dcad," he said. Hc called out. June whim- pered in answer.
 Houston stepped down into what appeared to be n coffin of corru- gated iron sunk fin the desert. There he found June stretched on gunny sack fora bed and bath towel for a pillow.
 There was no ventilation in the hole, Houston said. Nail holes punched q crude trap door provid- ed just enough air to sustain life. June had not stood up since she was placed in the tomb which was two and one-half feet wide by two and one-half feet high, and six feet long. She could only re- cline in the filth. Raising her self to her elbows, she scraped against two-by-four timbers.
 Six gallons of water remained in q 15-gallon can. Around it were the partially decomposed remains
