especially in his own state, being blamed for the final blow to the Lindbergh's peace of mind that clinched their decision to exile them- selves. Hoffman revealed a month az that he had paid 8 secret visit to Hauptmann's cell. Later he was quoted as doubting Hauptmann's guilt. He repudiated this statment later, but it did not diminish the sensation of his sudden interest in the fate of the taciturn German carpenter. The threatening letters the Lindherghs have received daily since 1882 increased suddenly in vol- ume and early Sunday the Lind- berghs sailed secretly on the Amer ican importer.
 Ship Confirms It
 The United tSates Lines, operators of the American importer, confirmed the presence of the Ltndberghs on their ship today,and explained the circumstances of their departure. Basil Harris, a vice-president, said Lindbergh booked passage for three last week, pledging the line to sic lence and paying the regular rate $280 plus SIS tax.
 Because the Lindberghs desired privacy, passengers booked previous ly were transferred to other boats. Saturday night the Lindberghs went by taxi from the Englewood, N.
