Dead Body of Lindbergh
' Baby Found Near Home
rWIDENCE rNUIfc'ATKS CHILD
HAD BEEN BRUTALLY
MURDERED.
HOPEWELL, N. J-—Charles A.
Lindbergh,. Jr., infant son. of tbnie
Mir Id famous aviator, was found
dead today at Mt. Rose, N. J., near
the Sourland. Mountain home, from
which he was kidnaped 73 days ago.
The tragic end to an international
search came with an official an
nouncement at the Lindbergh home of
the pitiful discovery.
The announcement was made by
Obi. H. Norman SehwartzcopiT, who
has been in charge of the kidnaping
investigation since the baby was
stolen from its crib on. the night of
March 1.
The baby, reduced to a skeleton,
was found by William Allen and Or
ville Wilson^ who were driving along
the road from Trenton an what is
known- as Mount Rose hill. The body
was beneath a pile of. brush. The
discovery was made at 3:15 p. m.,
and identification!, was furnished by
discovery of a flannel undershirt and
band which compared with the cloth
ing known to have been, worn by the
child the night of the kidnaping,
which left no doubt as to his identity.
The child was lying on his face, and
from its position indicated that at
tempts had been made to conceal or
bury it. In his forehead was a hole
about the size of a 25-cent piece.
In his official statement Colonel
Schwartzcopff said: “We have to
announce that, apparently, the body
of the Lindbergh baby was found at
3115 p. m. today by William Allen,,
colored, of Trenton, who was riding
on the Mount Rose road toward Hope
well. He was riding with Orville
Wilson on a truckload of timber.
They stopped the truck and found
the bahy. State police first examined
the baby and then went to the Lind
bergh home and obtained garments
by which they might compare the
clothing to the fragments of material
found near the body. A comparison
convinced them they had come to the
end of the trail. Condition of the
body indicated that the baby had
been dead for many weeks. The baby
had been murdered.’’
A statement by County Physician
Gh-Mea H. Mitchell, who conducted
an autopsy on the body, left no doubt
of the callous, brutality of the child’s
abductors. The baby’s skull had been
fractured. He was either hurled from
an automobile or struck, over the
head. Dr. Mitchell reported. The baby
had been dead for at least two
P months, according to the coroner. De
spite the deterioration caused by the
elements, Dr. Mitchell said his exam
ination disclosed positive evidences
that the skeleton was that of Colonel
Lindbergh’s son and that he had met
death by violence. The coroner had
not been able to determine whether
the hole, the size of a 25-cent piece,
over the right ear, was made by a
bullet or by some other lethal instru
ment.
► HOPEWELL, N. J.—Answering a
nation’s cry for vengeance, every po
lice agency in the country united to
day in the mo3t bitterly prosecuted
man hunt in history to track down
the abductors and murderers of
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr. They were
spurred by an executive order from
tha President of the United {bates. I
I 1
,4
They were stirred by the demands of
a. horrified world. And, for the first
time, they were released from the
leash of humanity that had held them
in check while the Lindberg baby
was thought to be alive. Their ac
tivities, following the discovery of
the little body of Charles Augustus
on a lonely hillside four miles from
the Lindl*ergh home, centered around
the men who are presumed to have
conducted negotiations with emis
saries of the actual kidnapers. As a
result of their preliminary investiga
tions, following a long and intensive
questioning of Dr. John F. Condon, of
New York, and John H. Curtis, of
Norfolk, they voiced their open be
lief that the criminals who killed
Colonel Lindbergh’s child actually
pursued their demands for money
while the baby was lying dead on the
desolate hillside of Mount Rose.
WASHINGTON.—All the might of
the Federal Government was mar
shalled today by President Hoover
for a campaign that will endure until
the murderers of Charles A. Lind
bergh, Jr., “are implacably brought
to justice.” From virtually every offi
cial source in the Capital came ex
pressions of sympathy for Colonel
and Mrs. Lindbergh, and indignation
at the brazen and ruthless crime
c.aimed the life of their child.
The kidnaping and murder of the
baby was discussed informally at a
Cabinet meeting, and Mr. Hoover
made the statement: “I have direct
ed the law enforcement agencies and
vhj several secret services of the
Federal Government to make the kid
naping and murder of the Lindbergh
baby a live and never-to-be-forgotten
as.e, never to be relaxed until these
minals are brought to justice. The
Federal Government does not have
olica authority in such crimes, but
ts agencies w 11 be unceasingly alert
.o assist New Jersey policemen every
way until these ends have been ac
omplished.”
Attorney General William D. Mit
chell said he had promptly relayed
the President’s orders to Department
of Justice agencies.

AT SUNNIVALE, CAUTl
SUNNIVALE, Calif.—The dirigible
Akron was moored to the 50-foot
mast on the Government reservation
here at 7:07 tonight, after several at
tempts today. A ground crew of 108
men successfully inooored the great
silver craft and finally ended the
journey that started from Lakehurst,
N. J., last Sunday. A crowd of
thousands of persons, who lined the
.e ce around the reservation for a
stance of a mile and a half, saw
the Akron puiled down from an ele
vation of 400 feet, and up to the
mast by a tractor, while the ground,
crew held her steady. From a dis
tance of two miles the Akron dived
toward tko ground, tilted at an angle
of about iKi degrees. When she was
400 feet above the ground two coils
of rope shot out of the dirigible’s
nose. The ground crew ran and
seized them. Then a steel cable fol
lowed the two ropes. It was fastened
to a smilar eable that ran through
pulleys from the mast to the tractor.
Slowly, the tractor pulled the idling
dirigible. On earlier attempts, sud
den changes in the ground winds hud
caused the ship to bounce suddenly
up in the air. A shout of triumph
went up when the ship was moored
A ■ journey of hardships was at an
end.
