STONY BROOK, N. Y, June 10
The possibility of an early break in the
Alice Mcdonnell Parsons disappearance
was indicated today in sudden in
crease of tempo in the activities of
Federal, State and local investigators
Mrs. Parsons Believed Safe.
A high police official here who has
been following the case closely mean
while indicated he has reasons to be-
lieve Mrs. Parsons may be a prisoner
in Manhattan. probably in one of the
foreign quarters.
He said he believes the kidnapers
are amateurs, that Mrs Parsons is
IN good health and will be returned to
her home alive. Her captors, he said
are probably not the ruthless type of
criminal, and would be only too willing
to complete negotiations and be rid
OF their prisoner.
Until early this morning the entire
lower floor of the Parsons home. Long
Meadows Farm, was alight, and there
appeared to be much activity within.
Except for the first two nights after
Mrs. Parsons disappeared a week ago
the house had been darkened early in
the evening.
Earl Connelley. inspector Of the Fed
eral Bureau of Investigation who as
sumed formal charge of the case today,
was absent from his headquarters on
a mysterious mission from late yester-
day afternoon until after midnight.
He returned more than two hours
after the time he had set for a press
conference
G-Men Take Charge.
Connelley parried questions much
of the time, but asked whether he was
ready to withdraw from the case on
a theory kidnapping was not COM
mitted," the inspector replied:
Absolutely not"
Today, SO far as is known, nothing
more definite had been uncovered tc
indicate what may have happened tc
the society matron, who soon was tc
inherit small fortune And today
under the so-called Lindbergh kidnar
law, the Federal Government took
charge of the case on the presumption
Mrs. Parsons had been taken across
a State line, thus making the abduc-
ton Federal offense. The law
prescribes seven-day interval aftel
the disappearance before the inter.
state phase is presumed.
Driver Certain 1t Was She.
To long list of stories Of person.
believed to have seen Mrs Parson.
since her disappearance, there wa.
added today the account of a New
York taxicab driver, Nat Lewis, who
told New York City police he hac
taken a woman, believed to be Mrs
Parsons, to the Pennsylvania Station
last night.
The driver said he picked up tn,
woman, accompanied by another
woman and a man, about 6 pm. a,

point he was certain his passenger wa.
