(COQCu1ueQ 1TOIU rage 4D the Martinique Hotel, Manhattan, under the name of Harry White," Geoghan said. From 8 window of his room he could look into the room of Wendell in the Hotel Stan- ford and keep track of his comings and goings.
 "It was the younger Parker, acc cording to our evidence, who on the night of February IA, pointed out Wendell to Murray Bleefeld out~ side the Hotel Stanford.
 "It was Murray Bleefeld who ac- costed Wendell and said, Hello. Paul. and told him that Captain De Louie of the Trenton police. wants you at headquarters accord- ing to our information.
 "It was Harry Weiss, we under stand, who pressed 8 gun against Wendel's back and forced him into an automobile. This automobile was apparently rented car.
 Our evidence indicates that young Parker told Martin Schlossman he would find the keys in the car. We have reason to believe that 1t was Schlossman who drove the car to Brooklyn"
 New York, April 24-(UP)-Dis- trict Attorney William F. X.Geoghan revealed today that he expects the indictment of five men last night for the Kidnapping of Paul H. Wendell to be put precursor to indictment of "the men beyond them" He re- fused to amplify his statement, but activity of his assistants and police indicated that the men of whom he spoke are residents of New Jersey. Search for Young Parker
 Assistant District Attorney Fran cis A. Madden and three New York policemen pressed a search in Mt. Holly and Trenton, N. J., for Ellis H. Parker, Jr., one of the five men indicted shortly before 6 o'clock last night. Young Parkers father is de- tective chief of Burlington county and was Governor Harold c. Hoff- mans principal aide in his investi- gation of the conviction of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. The younger man is himself an investigator for the New Jersey bureau of motor vehicle inspection and worked on the Hauptmann case under Hoff- mans personal orders. Two New Jersey policemen assigned to help the New York authorities find Parker were unable to locate him today at his home in Mt. Holly, or at other places he frequents. His wife and his father said they knew f1oth- ing of his whereabouts. The senior Parker, 65, said "I'd be a fool to shoot of my mouth about this case in any way. I hear that grand jury up in Brooklyn is Investigating me, too"
 Wendell First Confessed
 Wendell, a once disbarred Tren- ton lawyer, confessed at the height of Hoffman's fight for Hauptmann that it was he who kidnapped and murdered the Lindbergh baby, for whose death Hauptmann had been condemned. He repudiated the con- fession after Parker, ST., had de- livered him to Mercer county po- lice, who charged him with the mur- der. The confession was extorted. he said, by kidnapers who seized him in New York, held him prison- CT there 10 days, and beat him daily.
