More than 100 prisoners had been
confined in the Virginia lookup and
police said release of "a was necessary
because of the lack of room for ie.

the court.
The majority of the men had from
5 to 10 days remaining to serve on
sentences for minor offenseS.
Enlargement and modernization of
the Jail long has been advocated by
various groups in Alexandria. The
Corporation Court recently appointed
q commission to study conditions at
the lookup, and the study still is in
progress.
The United States Court for the
Eastern District Of Virginia, located in
Alexandria, some time ago discon-
tinued the practice of using the Jail
for the lengthy detention of prisoners
from that court.
Only those whose hearings are
scheduled to come up within a two

Jail now. All others are taken to
Norfolk for detention until their cases
are to be heard.

said this money would provide for only

the Jail provides no facilities for seq

and color.

20 Prisoners Are Set Free
From Crowded Alexandria Jail

Congested conditions in the anti
quated Alexandria Jail resulted today
in the release OF 20 prisoners, all of
whom had been incarcerated for mis-
demeanors, to provide room for other
prisoners.
This unusual step was carried out
by Police Justice James Reese Duncan,
who ordered 10 of the prisoners to
leave the city Immediately. warning
them not to return.
Judge Duncan had planned orig
inally to free "a inmates of the institu-
ton, but five of this group were found
to have long records and were ordered
returned to the jail. The charges in
all the cases ranged from drunk and
disorderly to vagrancy and panhan-
ding.
Seven white men and three colored
men were freed on condition they pay
their fines, ranging from 81 to $25, by
the end of the month. Five others
had their sentences suspended. with
the threat that the maximum penalty
would be imposed If they were arrested
again
Four colored women also were in
cluded in the liberated group. Three
were released under suspended SEN
ten ,es, and the fourth was given until
the end Of the month to pay her fine.
The 10 whom Judge Duncan ordered
to leave the city, including one COLI
ored man, were taken Immediately to
the city limits in q police patrol.
Judge Duncan said none of those
told to leave the city were residents of
Alexandria. The prisoners whose sem
tences were suspended live and work
IN or near Alexandra, he told re-
porters.

L|NDBERGHS QU|T
KENT FARM HOME
Believed to Have Gone to
!lIiec Island, Off Coast
of Brittany.
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, June Cool and Mrs.
Charles A. Lindbergh have left Long
Barn, in Kent, their English home for
two and half years.
Friends said presumably they had
gone to lonely Illiec Island, off the
coast of Frances Brittany, which the
flyer bought last April.
A reliable source said the Lind
berghs had given up their farm house
for good and, with their two sons.
Jon and Land. left the country "sev-
eral days ago"
Il know they intend to go to Iliec
Island, but whether they have gone
there directly I cannot say" this
source asserted.
Only last week Col. and Mrs. Lind
bergh attended Britain's royal court
baal-he in traditional knee breeches.
Seclusion Broken Recently.
Up to month ago. when they be-
gan appearing in parties at the home
OF American-born Lady Astor, they
kept almost entirely to themselves
while in England
However, during the last year they
have been to the United States and
have made frequent flying trips to
st. Gildas Island, near Illiec, to visit
DR.. Alexis Carrel, with whom Col
Lindbergh in 1885 developed the "arti-
fetal heart"
Their youngest son, Land, was born
May II, 1887, shortly after the Lind
berghs returned from an air trip to
India. Their older son, Jon, who will
be s on August Is, came with them to
Kent two years ago last Christmas.
The Lindberghs left the United
States to live In England after Bruno
Richard Hauptmann had been con-
victed of the kidnap- of their
first child, Charles A. jr..
Expected to Continue Work.
It was taken for granted that Col.
Lindbergh and DR.. Carrel will con-
tinue together their scientific work on
their islands Of the Brittany coast.

taken an interest of late In European
political and military Developments,

OXFORD, England, June 9.-Testi-
mony that would-be kidnaper in
tended to extort huge sums from Wis.,
count Nufield. millionaire automobile
manufacturer, by threatening him with
an operation without an anaesthetic"
was introduced today at the hearing of
John Bruce Thornton.
Thornton, so, is charged with incit-
ing Maj. Arthur G.. F. Ramsden to
help him abduct Great Britains
Henry Ford
Maj. Ramsden, testifying against
Thornton, said the latter told him he
would make a display of surgical
tools" before the millionaire after the
kidnapping had been carried out and
thus induce him to write letter ar
ranging for letter of credit for l00.-
900 pounds (about $50o,0oo).
If Lord Nufield did not play the
game" Maj. Ramsden said, Thornton
wanted to take the peer out to sea on
yacht and dump him."
Arrested at Nuffield. Plant.
The plot collapsed. the prosecutor
said, because Maj. Ramsden told
police. Thornton was arrested May
"a when he drove up to Lord Nufield's
Cowley plant In an automobile. He
was accused Of carrying two pistols.
The prosecutor, H. j. Parham, said
the plan was to kidnap Lord Nufiield
at pistol point, take him to the yacht
Pierrette at anchor at a barren point
on the east coast and hold him until
Thornton negotiated letters of credit
he was going to force the captive to
write.
Thornton. the prosecutor asserted,
told Maj. Ramsden be had bought a
disguise in Australia red toupee
with peroxide hair in back, false
moustache and eyebrows, gold caps
for his teeth and some corsets "to
make me spot simmer"
The idea, Mr. Parham charged, was
for Mai Ramsden to keep Lord
Nufaeld in chains aboard the yacht
until Thornton negotiated the letters
Of credit on the continent and then
turn the prisoner loose IN a field with
his eyes covered with adhesive tape.
Continued to Cooperate"
Maj. Ramsden let the police in on
the: plot early in May, but continued
to pretend to cooperate, the prosecu-
tor continued.
He said Thornton had written to
Lord Nunield as an American
journalist on the pretense he wanted
to interview him. Mr.. Parham pro-
duced a letter which, he said, Thorn
ton intended to hand the viscount
when he met him by appointment
May "a at the Cowley works.
II am packing two automatic pistols
OF large caliber," the prosecutor read,
"and viii Immediately shoot you If
you attempt to raise alarm or sus-
picion.
Smile, chat, be CHEEKY even if it
hurts Jump to it. I'm in, q
hurry"
The prosecutor declared l1eavy-set
Thornton was wearing his entire dis
gniseexcept the wig-wfen he drove
into the police trap at the automobile

Ey the Associated Press.
LONDON, June 9.--An alarmed
Britain. spurred by news of fresh
bombings today in Spanish waters,
sought a course of speedy action to
end repeated and increasing -insurgent
Spanish air attacks on her shipping.
The bombing of the French freighter
Brisbane at Denia. in which two of
seven persons killed were believed to
be British, and an attack which dis
abled the British vessel Isadora at
Castellon de la Plana heightened Off
cial British concern over mounting
casualties.
(Spanish insurgent air raiders
today bombed a third merchant
ship, on Benicasim near Castellon
de la Plana. killing IL persons and
wounding 10, reports from Madrid
said.
(The ship was not Immediately
identified. The attack was the most
serious of three such bombardments
early todayJ
The. government was expected to
act both alone and with other ma
tions to bring pressure on Generals
simo Francisco Franco, the insurgent
chief. Definite plans awaited reports
from British diplomats at Barcelona
and Burgos. the Spanish capitals.
Air Patrol Plan Reported.
Britain was reported studying a pro-
posal for an international air patrol
similar to the naval patrol already
operating and to. be eonsiderInr ptit-
ting the question Of the inssargent at
tacks squarely up to Premier Benito
Mussolini OF italy.
London newspapers have suggested
that Italian and German flyers were
ignoring Frances orders and singing
out British ships for attack.
Also concerned over the loss OF life,
the Vatican was reported to be direct
ing continual insistencee to Gen.
Franco against bombardment of Span
ish civilians.
The air patrol Britain was believed
considering would enlarge the powers
OF the international feet created at
British instigation by the Nyon Con-
ference last autumn to crush subma-
rine piracy in the Mediterranean.
Presumably such an air patrol would
be given the same orders as the war
ships-to shoot down on sight any
air raiders attacking merchant ships
trading with Spain.
Treaty Drafted Last Summer.
The Nyon treaty was drafted last
autumn after Britain took a decisive
stand against torpedo attacks on her
merchantmen and ships of other flags
In the Mediterranean. France was a
signatory of the accord and Italy later

HOUSE TO SPEED
ACT|0N0NA AIRPORT
Special Rule Is Granted.
May Hopes to Call Up
Bill Tomorrow.

The House Rules Committee today
granted special rule to expedite
action in the House on the King.
Norton bill authorizing development
OF a model airport at Camp Springs,
Md, approximately 10 miles from the
Capital. The rule provides for one
hours debate.
Chairman May of the Military AZ
fairs Committee. when notified of the
Rules Committee action, said he hopes
to call the bill up for passage in the
House tomorrow. All opposition has
been removed, he said, adding that he
expects the bill will be promptly
passed.
Representative May is conferring to-
day with Chairman O'Connor of the
Rules Committee in an effort to have
written into the rule that all points
of order against the bill are waived.
This action Is desirable. Mr.. May ex-
plained. because the bill as it passed
the senate in the first session of the
present Congress directly appropriates
$4,000, 900 for acquisition of land and
making q start on the new airport.
Under the House rules, legislative
committee no longer has authority to
make direct appropriations. that pre-
rogative being reserved exclusively for
the Appropriations Committee. If the
rule does not provide for waving the
point of order, to which the bill would
be subject. Representative May is pre-
pared to offer committee amendment
changing the direct appropriation TO
an authorization.
However, since there is no longer
serious objection to passage of the
bill, Mr.. May expressed confidence
that in order to expedite procedure in
the closing rush of the present session
the House members would agree to
making short cut and passing the
bill as is. This would prevent having
to send it back to the Senate for ap-
proval Of the amendment and also
would avoid. delay in getting budget
estimates submitted and action
through the Appropriations Commit
tee on the $3,000,000 item.
Representative Nichols, Democrat,
Of Oklahoma, who was secretary Of the
Congressional Airport Commission
which recommended the Camp
Springs site, said this will be the
finest airport in the world"
