police were working on q clue that
would have led to apprehension of the
kidnapers" when Curtis broke into
the case.
Tells Lindbergh.
Shortly after the kidnapping, and
before the baby's body was found
Curtis sought out Col. Lndbergh and
told him he had been contacted by
an emissary of the kidnapers.
Curtis already had enlisted the
backing OF Dean H. Dobson- Peacock
and Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage
both of Norfolk, and he quickly
gained Lindbergh's confidence.
AS chief negotiator, Curtis under
took series of flights to various parts
of the country, frequently using a
Navy plane and pilot. Later he
shifted his activities to the vicinity
of Norfolk.
A Navy yacht was placed at his dis
posal and he cruised about the coast.
The yacht was on one Of these cruises,
although Curtis was ashore at the
time, when the baby's body was found.
Lindbergh did not learn of the dis
covery until he returned nine hours
later
Following upon this turn in the case,
Curtis allegedly confessed that his
supposed dealings with the kidnap
gang, his story of midnight meetings
and of being warned that the baby
would be sold to the highest gang
land bidder unless quick ransom ar

Described Gang.
Col. Lindbergh, testifying at Curtis
trial, said the shipbuilder had not
only described the boat on which he
said the baby was being held. but
also had described members of the
gang in detail.
Even after DR.. Condor paid the
$50, 900 ransom in a Bronx cemetery,
Lindbergh said Curtis had insisted he
was In touch with the real kidnapers
and said they had shown him several
of the bills paid by DR.. Condor.
Before his trial, Curtis repudiated
his alleged hoax confession, declaring
he had written 1t to end continued
questioning.
He was found guilty Of obstructing
Justice, however, and sentenced to
one year in jail and fined $1,000. The
sentence was suspended and he was
released after paying the fine. He
returned to Virginia.

Z NEW YORK, September 21.-The
New York Times describes dramatic
scene at the Greenwich police station
learly today when Bruno Richard
EHauptmann. Lindbergh kidnap sus-
tpect, was confronted with DR.. John F..
sCondon, the intermediary, who made
50 partial identification of Haupt-
amann as the kidnap contact man.
: The Times story follows:
) In an upper room of the station
rhouse Hauptmann was placed in a
kline-up consisting Of 20 men includ-
ling himself, and DR.. Condor was
Easked if he could identify the man to
whom he gave the $4,000 in the
cemetery.
I DR.. Condor asked if he could pro-
sceed by elimination, and Inspector
sJohn J. Lyons of police headquar-
tiers. who was in charge of the line
sup, assented.
Lines Up Four Men.
{ Walking directly up to Hauptmann
8Dr. Condor picked him out of the
Lineup first. Then he picked out
three detectives.
= Lining up the four men, including
,Hauptmann, DR.. Condor asked each
5Dne his name, and exchanged few
words with each one about the SPELL
ing and pronunciation of his name.
Dr. Condor then asked permission
to write a note. Inspector Lyons
agreed and supplied paper and pencil.
Here is what DR., Condor wrote In
the first of three notes:
. II always keep by word If the
baby is returned in good health, I
will do everything to help you"
! DR.. Condor handed this to Haupt-
mann and said: Read it aloud"
: Nervous and shaking, the man
did so.
Without asking the other three
Snen he had picked out of the lineup
10 read the note. DR.. Condor then
wrote a second note, which read:
Are you ready to act. We cannot
Nait longer. He will smack me"
DR.. Condor handed this to Haupt-
1mann, who read it aloud.
After this DR.. Condor went up to
each of the four men in turn, asking
sDid you ever see me before?"
Then DR.. Condor walked directly
IN front of Hauptmann, as close as
he could get to him. Face to face, he
asked, in q loud tone:
: Are you sure that you never saw
me before?"
Points Finger at Man.
He emphasized the word you" and
accompanied it with dramatic
gesture of his right arm, flinging it
Forward and pointing his index finger
right at the prisoner.
Il never saw you before" replied
Hauptmann stolidly.
DR.. Condor now wrote his third
note. 1t was
What would your mother say? She
would cry"
Dr. Condor then asked permission
to speak with the prisoner alone. This
was granted. They went into corner
nnd talked in low tones for several
minutes. At the end of the conversa-
ton. DR.. Condor walked away, ap-
parently perplexed.
After the lineup. Acting Chief In
spector John j. Sullivan, in charge
of all police activities. was asked
whether DR.. Condor had identified
Hauptmann as the man to whom he
had given the money.
Not positively" said the inspector.
You mean he wasn't sure?"
THAT'S it."
Inspector Sullivan said it was an

his family to West SwanZey and
sent Denman to Boston to find
his fortune.
The youth drifted into thea
tricals, carried a spear while
Charlotte Cushman played Lady
Macbeth, and later did a turn
in vaudeville as an acrobat and
clog dancer.
The idea came to the young
trouper that the realism of his
age might have place in the
theater along with the classics
and the ponderous tones then
the vogue.
He evolved a one-act drama of
rural life and called it Joshua
Whitcomb." It proved such
success that in December, 1885,
he and an associate. George w.
Ryer, worked it out to a full.
length drama. This they did in
IS days. between shows and
while travelling on trains.
1t proved the hit of the year
and of years to come.
In the first three months in
New York it played to 100000
persons. After 10 years Thomp-
son sought to return.
He was a victim of rheuma-
tism. and in later years he went
through the role of the kindly
old farmer, masking from the
adoring audiences the terrific
pain which racked his body.
LIVED ROLE
The character grew upon him
so that offstage he was a real
Uncle Joshuay," noted for his
charity and benevolence.
He had one weakness which,
if known generally, might have
Mortified many of his patrons in
the hinterlands, and it was gam
bling.
Between acts on Broadway, he
would find time to get to the
poolroom and place his bets on
the horses.
They tell the story that while
playing in New Orleans, a friend
stopi ed him as he was about to
enter into a gambling house,
saying: Don't go in there.
The game is crooked"
Thompson paused for a sec.
ond and then pushed on with
this rejoiner: We'll, it's the
only place in town that is
OPEN"
He died in 1911 at the age
of IT.
So we have just turned the
century of the birth of the actor

The scene is Broadway and
Tenth Street in New York
City. The gray pile of old Grace
Church rises at the right. A
dim light illumines the stained
glass windows.
A gentleman in top hat
and evening clothes stands on
the pavement and with a wave
of his arms holds back a gray
helmeted policeman who grips
a nightstick.
A young man, drunk, lies on
the cold, hard sidewalks of
New York. Over him bends an
old gentleman, hair silvery
white, his clothes the dark

and string tie which we knew
from the family album or
from the pictures of Beecher,

Back on the stage the youth

himself together.

He will go back to the farm

Thirty years-and then, The
Cross. That was, so nearly. the
story Of another life. And al
ways this big, friendly boy fol-
lowed that trail. There it is
all of it, in Sister Eustolia's
little book.
Here is the story of WINGED
YOUTH. of all pure, young
hearts who 60 forth on brave

restore forgotten fire and faith
to every bitter, discouraged soul
who reads it.
Have you tired of this mad,
muddled world? Have you
come to doubt everyone, every
thing? Then here is something
for your sickness. The story of
a simple life that rose to wings
through faithfulness in common
things.
God was not a mystery to this
boy. God was his nearest
friend-his quickest comfort.
Nearer art Thou than breath
Closer than hands or feet"
He. too, must have loved
Tennyson's lines. For he gave
up all the sweetness and pride
of life to carry that blessed
"nearness" to the darkened lives
of the frozen north.
Such a short record between
those little boy days and that
crucified death in Alaska! But
a record filled with constant,
joyous ministry. He loved it so
that dear companionShip with
God, that friendly service to his
fellow man. 1t was such-fun!
That was the thing that
held me in those pages-made
me wonder, weep-then laugh
through my tears. Fun-to be
