St Reformed Kidnaper Urges Lindbergh To Pay $50, 000 Ransom Kidnaper of Cudahy Heir Thinks Abductors of Child Are Not Professionals; Fears Harm May Come To Child. WHEN WHISTLE BLOWS Arrangements have fceen, made by the H&aM to have the whistles at the Union Pacific shoplgr blow continuously for five-, minute, when word comes that the Lindbergh child has been returned. If this word comes Saturday or Sunday details of the child's recovery may be had at the Herald office, of-fice, Phones 494 and 495. By PAT CROWE (Kidnaper of Edward Cudahy in 1900; Now an Evangelist) (Written for the United Press) SCRANTON, Pa., March 4 (U.R) My advice to Colonel Charles a Lindbergh and his wife in their effort to get back their baby is: ' Pay the kidnapers anything they demand, be it $50,000 or a million. Lynch them, burn them, quarter them, do anything you want, but get the child back first. But Col. Lindbergh had better deal with the abductors directly and immediately, because if the trail gets too hot, tfiey may do away with the child. He's Too Valuable Right now they probably don't want anything to happen hap-pen to him. He's too valuable. They've probably got him hidden safely within 50 or 60 miles of the Lindbergh home. The chances are the baby was in his hiding place long before the Lindberghs knew he had been taken. If the kidnapers are professionals ' their tracks have been hidden.

There's one thing, though, that makes me think maybe they'e not professionals. They only asked for $50,000 ransom. This is an amateur price or else the depression hit the kidnaping racket. Back in liKW when I kidnaped Eddie Cudahy, heir to the Cudahy meat packing millions, we asked for $600,000. Later we cut this to $25,000 because we didn't want it in bills. We wanted gold that would be negotiable in this or any other country. And all the time the police were looking for Eddie we had him hidden in Chicago, where we kidnaped him. Real professionals would have asked for a million in cold cash. When we planned to kidnap John D. Rockefeller, Sr., we intended to ask $5,000,000. We expected to give -them plenty of time to get the gold. Gall Herald ror Call the Herald; tonight for half and final scores of the second sec-ond game between the B.

Mar. 4 U A shadow of fear and uncertainty hung over the Painter family today to-day as authorities tried to seek some motive for the murder of Alton Painter, 27. Alton's death has convinced authorities au-thorities that his brother Frank's death last October 1 was also murder, mur-der, not suicide as a coroner's" Jury decided. Alton was found dead on a lounge. A bullet had pierced his skull. Frank, too, was found dead with a bullet hole through his head. He "was lying on a bed. Near him, however, how-ever, was a rifle and on the floor an ejected shell. Despite the fact that it would have been almost impossible im-possible for him to eject the: shell after being struck in the head by the bullet, the coroners jury reached reach-ed a verdict of suicide. Utter inability to ascertain'a motive for the crimes has In no small measure caused other members mem-bers of the family to be somewhat apprehensive for their own safety. Alton is survived by his wife, mother and seven other brothers.
