LINDBERGH

1t has been revealed that one of the
final items in a series of distressing incl
dents that drove Col. Lindbergh to take
his family abroad, where they may reside
permanently, was the report that politics
had entered the Hauptmann case. I'm
doubtedly recent happenings in New Jer-
sey served to force the Lone Eagle to seek
a safer haven for his two loved ones Close
friends of the family claim there had been
concern for little joins safety ever since the
activity of Gov Harold G. Hoffman in the
Hauptmann case renewed the food
crank letters to the famous couple The
activity of the Governor in conducting
private investigation in the face of the
findings at Remington and the confrma-
ton of the verdict by thehighest court of the
state was said to have evoked an outburst
of feeling against Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh.
The rising tide of letters threatening the
death or kidnapping of them and their little
son was too much. So they packed a few
Of their belongings and secretly left the
country. They boarded the tiny America
Importer, a combination freight and pass
enger ship, at New York at midnight and
sailed away into voluntary exile, forced
upon them by the seeming inability of or
law enforcement system to cope with grow
ing criminal conditions Selected
