Show THE SAUNA SUN. SALIN A, UTAII KIDNAPING OF LINDBERGH BABY STIRS WHOLE WORLD No Crime in Modern History Has Aroused Such Universal Indignation Tops , Long List of Abductions. No crime in recent history so aroused the entire American public as the kidnaping of the young son of Col. and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh. Little Charles Augustus, Jr is the nations baby. He. Is a national character and has been since the day he was born. His abduction was a dastardly crime resented by every and chilAmerican, grown-up- s dren alike. Every parent grieved with the itricken father and mother. They knew the anguish they endured. They could feel the heart throbs and the immeasurable grief. They could realize what the finding of that empty parcrib meant to the ents. They knew the darkness that settled over Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh as they viewed the dirty left by the villians, and the ladder on the lawn outside the window, that told so vividly the fate that had befallen their young son. It is one great American heart that grieved n with those parents. A little delicate child, only twenty months of age, had been dragged from the affectionate embrace of his parents, from the tender care with which he had been surrounded, and spirited away into the foul hands of the most detestible type of criminals. There was no more touching incident of the whole dastardly affair than the pathetic appeal of the mother to the kidnapers to feed her sick baby properly. It was addressed by Mrs. Lindbergh to the kidnapers of her son and broadcast through the press of the nation. In It she said: To the kidnaper of the Lindbergh grief-stricke- n foot-trac- grief-stricke- baby: Here is a heartbroken appeal direct' from the mother of the child you stole. The baby has been sick and its recovery may depend on the treatment It gets from you. You must be especially careful about the diet. Mrs. Lindbergh issued to the press today the strict diet she has been following since the baby fell ilL She did this in the hope you might read this story and that' there was some spark of humanity even in the heart of a baby thief. Here is the diet, accompanied by the fervent prayer of a grieving mother: One quart of milk during the day. Three tablespoons of cooked cereal morning and night. One yolk of egg daily. One baked potato or rice once a flay. Two tablespoons of stewed fruit daily. Half a cup of orange juice on waking. Half a cup of prune juice after the afternoon nap. And fourteen drops of medicine called viosterol during the day. "Thats all, kidnaper of the Lindbergh baby. Thats what the babys mother wants you to give the hoy. Follow her request and you may In some small part redeem yourself in the eyes of acontemptuous world. The fathers of the nation in spirit tramped with Colonel Lindbergh the woods about the large estate, searching with him for clews that would lead to the recovery of the stolen child. In spirit they repeated his prayers and his curses. To the mothers of the nation the abduction was a real, a personal tragedy. Not one of them but felt with Anne Morrow Lindbergh the devastating blow that had been struck American motherhood, not one of them but suffered the keenest of all agonies fear for the safety and life of the child she had borne, and not one of them but said In her heart What If it had been MY baby? It Is no exaggeration to say that Americans 100,000,000 immediately formed themselves Into a searching 'party, in spirit If not In body, with the sole purpose of restoring the Lindbergh baby in safety as soon as possible to his mothers arms. From the highest to the most lowly, news of the Lindbergh kidnaping was the - topic. It Is not often that a President of the United States puts from his mind even for a little while momentous affairs of state because of concern over what has happened to some individual. Hut that is exactly what happened in this case. Herbert Hoover, in the midst of pondering over the solution of pressing national and international problems, forgot for the moment that he was Chief Executive of a nation and remembered only that he was an American father. So be gave orders that he was to be kept informed of the latest developments in the case no matter at Vhat hour of the night the news should arrive at the White House. What was true of the President was true of other high government officials, both state and national. The first activity In trying to run to earth the criminals was, of course, on the part of local police near the Lindbergh home In New Jersey. Through the agency of the teletype the alarm reached the police of New York, Newark, Jersey City, Elizabeth, Camden, and Philadelphia within a few ilnutes of the receipt of the first news at Trenton. All of them quickly swung into action, as did the New York and Pennsylvania state police. Orders were flashed to every precinct by the police telegraph system to be on the alert for suspicious cars, while the new police radio station WPEG 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 simultane-ously in every city for many miles around the Lindbergh home. Posses of motorcycle and bandit squad policemen from Philadelphia, Pa., and New Jersey state troopers, clamped down a heavy guard on every bridge over the Delaware river. But the circle of activity soon widened beyond state borders. Within a few hours the news reached Washof the ington, the full federal government in hunting down the kidnapers was offered to the New " Jersey state authorities. Attorney-Gener- al William D. Mitchell hurried to the White House for a conference with President Hoover and immediately afterwards the Department of Justice announced that every agency of the department would to the utmost .with the state authorities. Following a second conference tween- the President and his attorney-general- , it was announced that the government had placed its prohibition enforcement officers as well as all of the other department of justice agents on the case.. All agents p 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 the lookout for suspicious characters. Between these 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 the United States. Although kidnaping Is a state rather than a federal offense, the United States government officials had justification for entering the case because of the possibility that the kidnapers might have violated some other fed-- ' eral statute. But one immediate result of this abduction was to cause ' a widespread demand for speeding action n bills then before congress making kidnaping a federal offense. One of them by Senator Roscoe C.

But more striking than the immediate action taken by the constituted authorities of the law for dealing with the criminals who had stolen away the Lindbergh baby was the Instantaneous reaction of private individuals' every where to the crime. It is doubtful if ever before in the history of America have so many millions of her citizens felt the personal obligation to aid in a gigantic manhunt In spirit if not in reality. Aviators, who had been, buddies of the famous flying colonel, immediately placed themselves and their planes at his disposal to aid in the search. .Thousands of amateur detectives were busily engaged in watching for "clews which might aid the authorities in In New catching the malefactors. York the clergy of three religious denominations Joined in broadcasting a prayer for the safe and speedy return of the Lindbergh baby a prayer which found an echo in the hearts of . millions. Nor was the excitement over the case confined to the borders of the United States. In far-of- f China, the kidnaping was told in big headlines alongside the news of the Chinese defeat on the Chapei-Woosun- g bat-tlefro- nt The French press, to which Colonel Lindbergh has been a hero since his conquest of the Atlantic in 1926, was filled with the story of the crime. Germany forgot for a moment its heated political atmosphere arising from the presidential election campaign and was swept by a wave of sympathy for the parents of the lost All Berlin newspapers pubbaby. lished the kidnaping on their front pages, along with numerous photographs, an extraordinary occurrence In that country, where political issues invariably occupy all available front-pag-e space, even when an election campaign is not in progress. Englands anxiety over the fate of the little boy was nearly as keen as Americas. The news of the abduction caused a 'sensation In Mexico where the babys grandfather, the late Dwight Morrow, had been ambassador from the United States. A stream of telegrams was sent to the Lindberghs from their many friends In Mexico. President Ortiz Rubio, Foreign Sec- -, retary Manuel C. Tellez and J. Reuben Clark, who succeeded the late Senator Dwight Morrow as ambassador, asked to be kept closely informed of any developments in the. search for the kidnapers. The abduction was brought home to Mexicans all the more vividly because of the fact that It' had occurred on the third anniversary of Colonel fa the Mexican Lindberghs capital on the visit before his last trip to Mexico, in the days when he wras 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 the news of the birth of this baby been an item of worldwide interest Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr., was born June 22, 1930, 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. She was twenty-fou- r years old the day her son was. born. The baby was born in the Morrow home In New Jersey, in which his parents were married May 27, 1929. In the four days Interval between June 22 and the day the birth certificate was filed members of the 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 along. It was reported, too, that Lindbergh had favored calling his son after but that for the first his father-in-law- , time since he hopped the Atlantic three years before he was turned back from his goal During his first few months of life, when his parents were making occasional short jaunts by airplane it frequently was reported that Charles Jr. was to accompany them. They did not take the infant on any of these trips, however, though the reports were so persistent that they gave rise to the Impression that Charles Jr, would be brought up from earliest youth with the Idea of making an aviator out of him. So widely was this conviction held that his reticent father declared in an Interview, which was printed in October, 1930, in the Iictorial Review, that Charles Jr.s, future was in his own nands. Our son, Colonel Lindbergh was quoted as saying, "has hardly reached the age to have his future determined for him, and, in any case, it Is a question that he can decide for himself when the time comes. Personally. I do not want him to be anything or do anything that he himself has no taste or aptitude for. When word of the birth of Charles A. Lindbergh Jr. went around the world and even before It was announced, gifts began to arrive at the Morrow home for him in such profusion that they soon became an embarrassment. Ilis parents were quoted as saying that the boy would have to remain an infant for ten years at least merely to wear out the baby clothes which had been sent to him.
