Orders were flit sited to every precinct by the police telegraph system to be on the alert for suspicious cars, while the new police radio station WI'EO flashed word to the short wave station of the patrolling detective cars to Join In the watch. Similar steps, though on a smaller scale, were being repeated simultaneously in every city for many miles around the Lindbergh home. Posses of motorcycle und bandit squad policemen from Philadelphia, Pu., und New Jersey srate troopers, clamped down a heavy guard on every bridge over the Delaware river. Put the circle of activity soon widened beyond state holders. Within a few hours the news readied Wash in gt on. tlie full of the federal government in hunting down tlie kidiapeis was offered to the New Attorney-tieiier.Jersey stale authorities. William D. Mitchell hurried to the W liite House for a conference with President Hoover and immediately afterwards Hie Department of Justice umioilio ed Hint every agency of tlie department would cooperate to the utmost vvitli tlie state authorities. Following a second conference Between the President and his attorney-general- , it was announced that the government had placed its prohibition enforcement oflicers as well as ail of the other department of justice agents on the case. A11 agents in the eastern section of the country, acting under direct orders from the President, transmitted through the justice departments bureaus of Investigation in New York and Philadelphia, were Instructed to be on tlie lookout for suspicious characters. Detween those two offices the states of New York, Pennsylvania, Delawawe, New Jersey and Connecticut, were Immediately covered with a network of Investigation by the most skillful sleuths in the service of tlie United States. Although kidnaping is a state rather than a federal offense, tlie United States government officials had justification for entering tlie case because of the possibility that the kidnapers might have violated some other federal statute.

Not only was legislation to curb this crime the chief topic In the national legislative hall, but state legislatures began taking measures to increase the state penalties for abduction. Rut mere striking than the Immediate action taken by tlie constituted authorities of the law for deullng with tlie criminals vv ho had stolen away the Lindbergh baby was the instantaneous reaction of private individuals eveijwhtre to the crime. It Is doubtful if ever before in tlie history of America have so many millions of her citi.eus felt tlie personal obligation to aid In a ggantlc manhunt in spirit if not in reality. Aviators, who had been buddies of the famous living colonel, Immediately placed tlienivelv es and their planes at Ids disposal to aid in the seurvi. Thousands of amateur detectives were busily engaged in watching for clews which might aid the authorities in catching tlie malefactors. In New Yoik tlie clergy of three religious denominations joined in broadcasting a prajer for tlie safe and speedy return of tlie Lindbergh baby a pra.ver which found an echo in the hearts of millions. Nor was t he excitement over the case confined to the borders of tlie United States. In far-of- f China, the kidnaping was told in big headlines aloi tlie news of tlie Chinese defeat on tlie Chapel Woosung hat- tlefront. Tlie French press, to which Colonel Lindbergh lias been a hero since his conquest of tlie Atlantic In RUd, was filled with tlie story of tlie crime. Germany forgot for a moment Window Used in Kidnaping Lindbergh Baby de its heated political atmosphere arising from the presidential election campaign and was swept by a wave of sympathy for tlie parents of the lost All Berlin newspapers pub- baby. lislied the kidnaping on their front pages, along with numerous photographs, an extraordinary occurrence in that country, where political issues Invariably occupy all available frontpage space, even when an election campaign Is not In progress. Englands anxiety over tlie fate of the little boy was nearly as keen as America's. Tlie news of the abduction caused a sensation in Mexico where tlie baby's grandfather, tlie late Dwight Morrow, laid been ambassador from tlie United States. A stream of telegrams was sent to tlie Lindberghs from their many friends in Mexico. President Ortiz Rubio, Foreign Secretary Manuel C. Tellez and J. Reuben Clark, who succeeded tlie late Senator Dwight Morrow us ambassador, asked to be kept closely Informed of any developments in tlie search for tlie kidnapers. Tlie abduction was brought home to Mexicans all the more vividly because of tlie fact that it had occurred on tlie third anniversary of Colonel Lindberghs arrival in tlie Mexican capital on the visit before his lust trip to Mexico, in the days when lie was courting Anne Morrow in the romantic atmosphere of Cuernavaca. Just as the news of the kidnaping of the Lindbergh baby circled the globe within a few hours after it had occurred, so had tlie news of tlie birth of this baby been an item of worldwide interest. Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., was born June 22, 1030, which also was the anniversary of the birth of his mother, the former Anne Morrow, daughter of the late Senator Dwight W. Morrow of New Jersey. years old the She was twenty-fou- r day her son was born. The baby was born in tlie Morrow home In New Jersey, in which his parents were married May 27, 1929. In the four dajs interval between June 22 and the day tlie birth certificate was filed members of tlie Morrow and Lindbergh family participated in an amicable discussion as to what the Infant would be named. That question was settled when the birth certificate disclosed he was to be "Junior." And it was understood to have been Mrs. Lindbergs choice all Lindalong.
