 Saturday morning, Dec. IA, he put his plan into execution. He asked his landlady, as he left the house, the location of Oracle Square.
 He told her his grandfather was seriously ill in Philadelphia and that he planned to pick up "Dr. Greene" on Oracle Square and go to the elder Mines bedside irnme- diately.
 He took with him package con- taining his watch, some of his clothing and an Albany newspaper stained with blood, prepared for mailing to his grandfather at a moment when the mute proofs" of violence to favorite grandson might work effectively on his emo- tionS.
 He Arranged Trail
 He actually went to Oracle Square, he said, and to leave Q trail supporting his story, inquired at several houses in the neighbor- hood for the Squares location.
 Then he rode to Grand Central terminal on subway and put a letter addressed to Frederic, In New York. aboard 8 train just pulling out for northern New York. The trick worked just as he had planned the letter came to Frederic early Sunday morning postmarked at Poughkeepsie, N. Y, where railway post office clerks had put it of for rerouting.
 The package he mailed in the terminal. Travelling in the parcel post classification, 1t arrived at the palatial home of his grandfather in Germantown two days later.
 Text of Confession
 New York, Dec. 28-(U.P.)-The full text of the kidnap hoax con- fession of Caleb J. Milne, Jr., fol- lows:
 T admit that my alleged kidnap was perpetrated by myself. Because of my despate financial condition and inability to find 8 job, I felt, since was seeking work on the stage, that if I could get some pulp licity could get 8 job. The whole idee came to me around the 4th or 5th of December.
 ''The first thing bought was c pair of cotton gloves at the five and ten; then bought a tube of muci- lage and threw away the one I had in the apartment, and then bought a rubber stamp and then cut hole lot of odd words out ot different newspapers and pasted them upon a sheet of wrapping paper. I made up three letters, put them in envelopes, printed the ad- dresses on, put special delivery stamps on, plus three cent stamps and kept them in the apartment.
 Bought Overcoat
 Then I bought a black overcoat for three dollars in a second hand shop. I took the rubber stamp and the mucilage and threw them into the East River.
 "On Saturday, December 14th, left the apartment, went down tc the hallway where I met Mrs. Tab- bell, the landlady. I asked her tt direct me to Oracle Square, which she did.
 T took the Lexington avenue ex- press up to 86th street, I got of and took the 18th street cross town bus I got of at the block west of East End avenue and inquired in an apartment house where Oracle Square was and was directed ur East End avenue to 84th street, and fingered there about five minutes and then walked across to Madison avenue and took the Madison ave- nue bus down town. I had my hair cut at q barbershop on Lexington avenue in the 40's.
 Prepares Bundle Previously I made up a pack age containing my wrist watch and one of the letters. I made this up in my room. wrapped it in an Al- bany newspaper and put a little blood on the newspaper from one of my gums, after leaving the barber shop, mailed 1t in the Grand Gen. tral Annex.
