Sanky Contemplated
KIDNAPPING Dempsey

ST. PAUL, MINI, Feb. 1 G.N.SO
M. F. Kinkead, st. Paul county
attorney, was on his way to Chi
cago today armed with evidence
which may not only link Verne
Sankey, mid-Western bad man
with the kidnapping Of the infant
son Of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh,
but which also indicated that
Sankey had contemplated captur-
ing Babe Ruth, home run king,
and Jack Dempsey, former heavy
weight boxing champion, and hold
ing them for ransom.
Kinkead, who is carrying extra
dition papers for the removal of
Sankey from Chicago to st. Paul
to stand trial for the kidnapping of
Haskell Bohn, said before his de-
parture that a local deputy had
visited Sankey's ranch in South
Dakota and had found papers con-
cerning the Lindbergh case, a pic
ture of Babe Ruth and figures in
dicating the financil worth of both
Ruth and Dempsey. Kinkead said:
"The figures on Ruth and
Dempsey were contained in q
sort of record file, and the earn
ingS of the two men and the
sources of their income were
listed"

NEW COLD PRICE
SPURS MINERS

RENO, New, Feb. G.N.SO.
Devaluation Of the dollar and fix
ing of the gold price at $35 an
ounce today touched off another
burst Of activity in the gold fields
Of the Far West, although the
move had been generally dis
counted in advance.
To literally thousands Of pros
pectors working in lonely camps
in. California and Nevada, the
boost in The gold price meant a
few more cents each day in the
way of returns for the tiny flakes
they find in the bottom Of their
pans.
In the big mines, however, little
increase in output is expected, as
many have been working full blast

when two officers pressed pistols

any trouble"
Startled, Sankey turned. made
feeble struggle, and then gave
up. He said:
"All right, you got me, I'm
Sankey."
The South Dakota badman
carried no weapons on his per
son.
A careful search of his clothes
revealed three poison tablets
which he said he was keeping
"as a way out" if he should
be caught.
Puzzled By Confession
Readily, and almost cheerfully'
the partially bald fugitive began
to talk.
He had not been in custody
more than a half hour before he
admitted taking part in the St
Paul and Denver kidnapings.
This willingness to unburden
himself puzzled his questioners
and raised a suspicion that he
might be attempting thus to
keep some other phase of his
career secret.

$4,000 Reward Awaits
Verne SankeV CaptorS

DENVER, Feb. 1 GN,S0-A
reward of $4,000 awaits the cap
tors of Verne Sankey.
A total of $4,000 was posted
by Claude K. Boettcher, wealthy
Denver broker, following the abb
duction of his son, Charles Boett-
cher, H., from his home here a
year ago for 100000 ransom.
A committee appointed by
Mayor George D. Begole Of Den
yer allocated $4,000 to persons
who aided in the capture of Carl
w. -oearce and Arthur Young
berg, now serving sentences in
Federal prison for their part in
the crime.
The remaining $4,000 was di-
vided, $4,000 to be paid for the
capture of Sankey and $4,000
for the apprehension Of Gordon
Alcorn, the only member of the
gang still at large.

HEAVY PROFITS
ON AIR Lines
STOCK Barred
National City Company Got
Nearly Six Millions From
Issues, Probers Told
By international News Service

A $5,895,311 profit was made
by the National City Company of
New York, in two underwriting
operations involving United Air
craft and Transport Corporation
stock. it was revealed today at the
Senate air mail investigation.
j. P. Ripley, former vice pres.
ident Of the National City Co.,
revealed the existence of "pre.
ferred list" of customers for the
Aircraft stock.
The stock flotations which
proved so profitable to the Ma
tional City Co. and the preferred
customers were made in 1929 and
1880.
Charles P. Mitchell, former
president of the National City Co.,
was identified as the author of a
memorandum setting forth the
plan to let preferred customers
in on the ground floor of United
Aircraft financing.
Bought At Half Price
The preferred customers bought
their stock at $50 per share. A
short time later it opened on the
exchange at approximately $50.
Ripley explained that the first
underwriting was undertaken late
in 1928. It consisted of common
and preferred stock of the Boeing
Air Transport Corporation, to-
gether with common stock war,
rants.
The subsequent financing in
volved United Air Transport stock,
w. E. Boeing in the meantime
having merged his interests with
United.
Bank Got S Millions
The two underwritings netted
the National City Co. $5,895,311
and yielded $13,812,500 to the air
craft company's treasury, accord
ing to Ripley.
Efforts of the committee to OBJ
tain confidential papers showing
''inside" negotiations between
former Postmaster General Walter
F. Brown and a dozen big holders
Of air mail contracts were baked,
at least temporarily. today by a
lawyers plea of privilege.
The committee struck a Snag
when it sought to seize CORE
Spondence from the. files Of
william P. MacCracken, jr., for
mer Assistant Secretary Of Com
merce.
He explained that he consid-
cred it a sacred duty" to prevent
publication of letters passing be-
tween him and his clients, when
these letters were Of a confiden-
tial nature.
The committee awaited replies
to kilograms which MacCracken
sent at it's insistance, asking the
clients to waive any claim Of
privilege.

Operates at Once
Roosevelt Dollar Plan
By international News Service

President Roosevelt led the ma
tion into the field of managed
currency today, with the gold
value of the dollar pegged at 59.O6
cents.
At the same time, the Executive
served notice through his actions
that the United States from now
on proposed to have a say in the
treatment of it's currencv on the
money markets Of the world.
On the basis of the newly de-
valued dollar, gold is worth $35
an ounce.
And President Roosevelt an
nounced that the Treasury. begin
ming today, stands ready to buy
all gold that anyone cares to sell
ct this figure.
Inducements Abroad
He backed up this announce
ment with the setting up of a
2,000-million-dollar StabiliZation
fund to protect American money
against any adverse influences.
The new policy goes even fur
ther. Under his newly received
monetary powers, the President
authorized the Treasury to offer
an inducement to other nations
for bringing their gold money
rates in line with the United
States.
The Washington times., 1934-02-01

connected with the Lindbergh
case, Sankey will be returned
there for trial, authorities said.
$4,000 His "Cut"
Sankey admitted receiving
$4,000 of the 100000 ransom
paid for the Denver capitalists
release.
Melvin Purvis, chief investigator
for the Department of Justice
here, said:
"He admits taking .Boettcher
from his home and holding him
prisoner on the Sankey ranch
in Gam Valley, S. d.
That was last February. He
also cOnfeSSeS that he kid
naped BOhn, the son Of q st.
Paul refrigerator manufacturer,
in June, 1882. He had moth
ing to do, he claims, with the
william Hamm and the Bre-
mer cases in st. Paul recently,
or with any other kidnapings."
In Sankey's apartment hideout
on the North Side, where police
arrested a 28-year-old woman Civ
ing the name of Helen Mattern,
Federal agents found a small
arsenal and $3,450 in currency.
His armament consisted Of a
Sub-machine gun, sawed-off
shotgun, and an automatic pistol.
The money was in $40. $1O0,
and 5000 bills and a package OF
80 81 bills in a tin box in his
apartment.
Purvis revealed that none Of
the bills found in the abductor'S
possession corresponded with any
of the $4,000 ransom paid to
kidnapers Of Charles A. Lind
bergh, jr.
Ends TwO.Year Search
Capture Of the confessed kid
naper brought to an end a search
that had been in progress
throughout the United States for
two years. The hunt was con-
centrated in Chicago several
months ago when Federal authori-
ties learned he was in hiding
here.
Three Federal agents and three
Chicago police officers seized
Sankey as he lay back in the
barber shop Of William Mueller
to have a four days growth Of
beard removed.

could be ascertained.
Primarily, exchange dealers
were interested in determining
whether the United States would
buy freely all gold offered in world
markets at the stated prices of $35

nations would take steps to coun-
teract action here by placing an
embargo on gold shipments.
Paris RuShes Gold
The expected rush of gold from
Paris to New York got underway
with the booking for shipment to
this country of 10000, 900 francs,

The gold is expected to leave
Saturday on the Bremen, the

hour, at the pair as they were
held in special offices of the
Bureau of Investigation of the
United States Department Of
Justice.
Woman HySterical
Six armed city policemen pa
trolled the corridor outside the
offices.
From within occasionally could
be heard the voices of the prison
ers, Sankey's patient and resign
ed, that of Miss Mattern tired
and frequently hysterical. At in
tervalS Sankey raised his voice in
denialS of accusations.
From the first the one-time
rancher has maintained he had
nothing to do with the Lindbergh
tragedy, or with the kidnapping
of Edward G. Bremen or William
Hamm, jr., both of st. Paul.
Department Of Justice oper-
atives are investigating the for
mer South Dakota rancher's
whereabouts when the infant son
of Colonel Lindbergh and Anne
Morrow Lindbergh was Snatched
away from the Lindbergh home
in Hopewell, N. j., in March,
1882.
Seized in Barber Chair
Captured here as he reposed
in q barber chair, Sankey readily
admitted the 100000 ransom kid
naping of Charles K. Boettcher,
II, wealthy Denver broker, and
the $4,000 abduction of Haskell
Bohn, scion of the wealthy re-
frigerator family of st. Paul.
Sankey was grilled behind
closed doors at the Department
of Justice offices here until an
early hour today. Then he was
whisked away to a secret lookup,
for few hours rest.
Precautions in keeping with his
new designation as Americas
public enemy No. l." given Sankey
by Joseph B. keenan,, assistant
attorney general in charge Of
kidnapping prosecutions, were
being taken by Federal authorities
in guarding their prisoner.
Secrecy surrounded every move
of the Federal agents, and Sankey
was kept out of reach of news
paper men throughout the rapidly
moving investigation.
Phone Calls Traced
Prosecutor M. F. Kinkead, Of
st. Paul, hurried here with clues
which he said tended to link
Sankey with the sensational Lind
bergh case.
In his investigation Of Sankey's
career following the Bohn kid
naping, Kinkead declared, he had
traced telephone calls made by
the Dakota rancher to points in
New Jersey while the hunt for
the missing Lindbergh infant was
in full swing.
Ransom notes sent by the kid
napers of Boettcher were in a
similar handwriting to those dis
patched to Colonel Lindbergh,
Prosecutor Kinkead declared.
The st. Paul official came here
seeking Sankey's extradition to
Minnesota to stand trial for the
Bohn kidnapping.
Kinkead said he also wanted
to question the prisoner concern
ing the abduction of Edward G.
Bremen, St. Paul banker, who was
seized January II and is still
missing.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. G.N.
SO.-The dust was blown off the
unsolved Lindbergh baby kidnap-
ing case which occurred two years
ago as a possible link was con-
sidered by authorities today be-
tween the famous abduction
mystery and Verne Sankey, notori-
Gus d-Western kidnapping expert,
arrested in Chicago.
1--WE are waiting until we hear
from Chicago"
So declared Major Charles H.
Schoeffel, deputy superintendent
of the New Jersey State police,
who took an important part in the
Lindbergh kidnapping inveStiga-
ton.
1--WE would like to question
Sankey in connection with the
Lindbergh kidnapping"
LISTED AS SUSPECT
The State police official said he
had not heard whether Col.
Charles A. Lindbergh, father Of
the kidnapped and murdered baby,
would go to Chicago.
He would not discuss the details
of the telephone calls from
Sankey to New Jersey points
recorded in the first few months
of 1882.
Later, Col. Norman Schwartz
kopf, commander of the New
Jersey State police, said:
81 am waiting official word
from Chicago. We have moth
ing definite linking Sankey with
the Lindbergh kidnapping. We
have received no word yet but
are waiting to hear from the
West"
The Lindbergh kidnapping took
place on the night Of March at
the Lindbergh home at Hopewell,
N. j. It was the tracing of these
calls ny Federal agents which first
listed Sankey as a suspect in the
case.
Handwriting Checked
Major Schoeffel revealed that
the handwriting used in the
original ransom notes sent to
Colonel Lindbergh had been COM
pared with the handwriting sent
by the kidnapers of Charles
Boettcher, II, wealthy Denver
broker. Sankey admitted staging
the Boettcher abduction.
Major Schoeffel declined to con-
firm the. report that the hand
writing used in the two kidnap-
ing cases were similar.
During the nationwide hunt for
the Lindbergh kidnapers, clues
were investigated in the Western
and Northwestern States where
Sankey usually operated.
Raids on houses were made IN
Chicago, Denver, st. Paul and
Springfield, ILL.,. following infor-
nation received by New Jersey
police and relayed to Western
authorities. There were also
checkupS undertaken in South
Dakota where Sankey had q
ranch.
Poison Tablets
Detectives who worked on the
Lindbergh case pointed out that
the kidnapping of the baby was
apparently carefully planned.
Sankey, in his kidnapping opera
tions, was also careful work
man.
In the Lindbergh case, the
watchdog of the Lindbergh house
hold was taken sick several days
before the kidnapping and removed
to a hospital.
The finding of poison pills in
the clothing of Sankey when he
was arrested suggested that they
might have been used by the
Western criminal for other pur-
poses than suicide.
