NEW YORK, December 2S.-The
Milne "kidnap case" fell apart today.
leaving drama loving Caleb Milne,
4th, a prisoner In truth instead Of
fancy.
The 23-year-old heir to a textile
fortune confessed that his kidnapping
was a hoax inspired by need Of money
and by a belief that resultant publicity
would help him get a job on the stage.
His confession, made to Govern
ment agents early. was followed within
a few hours by his arraignment on
charge of attempted extortion. He
was ordered held in default of $500
bail for hearing January 8.
The Federal assistant district attor-
ney asked that bond be fixed at
$4,000, but United States Commits
sioner Cotter fixed the lower amount
when, in answer to a question. the
prisoner said he didn't think he could
supply a $4,000 bond.
Mailing Letter Is Charge.
The commissioner commented that
the charge was serious, but that there
appeared to be no prior record against
the prisoner. Milne was not repre-
sented by counsel, and the commits
sioner did not examine him.
The specific charge was that Milne
deposited "a letter in the United States
mails demanding $4,000"
Milne disappeared from the modest
room he and younger brother occu-
pied here. He was found later lying
bound and gagged and with one arm
punctured as though by hypodermic
needles-they were pin pricks, his con-
fession explains-beside Q roadway
near Doylestown, Pa.
So realistic was young Mines plight
that he was taken hurriedly to hos
pital and kept in seclusion for many
hours, his condition being described
