lures a dreadful chasm, so great that
he says, NO man can cross. Tear
loose the bonds that bind me, Lord,
and shake my soul alive. Stir the

alive. Make me to know that the soul
that has been born of God must grow
in grace or the soul will be dwarf. !"
The preaching mission is confer

Curling Kidnapers

Henry Edward Warmers letter
recently reprinted in the Times
as an editorial, shows that Mr..
Warner has a brilliant mind, but
that he has been misinformed or
has a warped knowledge of how
to 60 about curling kidnapping.
He states:
l. That we have gone so far
as to permit parents to set aside
all methods of pursuit, capture,
etc, while they seek contact with
the kidnaper.
2. That by paying ransom the
parents are financing a GRIM
inal.
3. That we must be our
brothers keeper in a stricter
sense of the word even to the
extent of sacrificing a child or
two.
4. That obstructing justice is
obstructing justice. However
sympathy may plead an excep-
ton.
5. That besides capturing kid
napers we should round up all
who might enter into that
cowardly profession Of the
underworld and place them
under such surveillance or re-
strictions as to keep them from
going ahead.
First, No. I. Is there a
parent in this world who would
not go further than that to save
their child? After all, love OF
family is the second law Of ma
ture and who are we to reason
why. Is there a law enforcing
agent In the country that is
above human sympathy?
Now No. 2. Paying ransom
is not financing a criminal,
even if he can get away with
it. Every bill paid in ransom
has the serial number recorded.
It is this way thai the GRIM
inal is usually caught. For
example the Ross, : ndbergh,
and Weyerhauser cases.
No. 3 in his statement is more
or less implied. I have but one
answer to that. Would he be
willing to sacrifice his own
grandson for the safety Of
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1938-06-20

others? I and millions Of others
say no. So why expect others
to do it. This is human ele-
ment that no laws could ever
change.
No. 4. The term "obstruct-
ing justice" as used in law,
states exactly as follows: EN-.
deavor to corruptly influence
intimidate or impede, by threat
or force any jurors, witness, or
officer in any court in the dis
charge of his duties, or, by
threat or force in any other way
obstruct the due administration
of justice"
Now everyone knows that two
parents never could by force or
threat keep the Department OF
Justice, or the police of a
State off of a case.
For a very concise opinion OF
number five, it is ridiculous and
absurd, and it has been proven
that this would be next to i'm
possible. How in the world
can anybody tell who might be
q kidnaper. Bruno Hauptman
was not Of the underworld and
the Cash kidnaper was just an
ordinary person with no Grim
inal reputation. One certainly
can't go by looks when round
ing up these people.
A short while ago a class OF
intelligent people by looking at
pictures and not names picked
out j. Edgar Hoover as a public
enemy, and then picked out a
criminal as a preacher. This
was in a psychology class, too.
If we rounded up everyone who
might kidnap, we just as well
round up every adult in the
world.
I hope no one misunder-
stsnds my intentions for this
criticizing letter. I hate and
abhor, all criminals and espe-
. cially "rats" who pick on inno-
cent children; and have all my
