FIND NO TRACE OF TWOOFFICERS Bodies Os Missing Deputy Sheriffs Believed To Be Floating In River Lafayette, Ind., Feb. 14. — (UP)-— The bodies of Deputy Sheriffs John P. Grove and Wallace McClure, w“ho disappeared a week ago while taking two convicts to the Indiana reform atory at Pendleton, probably are floating In the Wabash river, and may not be iteovered until the present high waters recede, in the belief of Tippecanoe county authorities here today. Although police of two cities have reported that they are holding men resembling Samuel Baxter and John Burfls, who are believed to have murdered the deputies in a desperate effort to escape five year sentences for robbery, local officers have little hope that the real convicts arc in custody. At Henderson, Ky., two men who answered the description of Baxter and Burns, were arrested in a railway yard, according to word received here. At the same time notice was received from Freeport, 111., that two others resembling the convicts were being held there. Officers able to identify the missing men are being sent, to both cities. After more than a week's search, thousands still are patrolling the countryside in a vain hope of locat- . ing either the missing deputies or ■ their dead bodies. So far tho only definite clue estab- . lished was the finding of the automobi'e abandoned by the criminals after I what is believed to have been a inurd- , crons attack on their captors. COL. LINDBERGH CELEBRATES HIS RETURN TO U. S. . (COtVTINLIDD FROM PAGE OXE) work, but I don't consider them ot any particular use in straight-away passenger flying of the type I have been making. "I consider it perfectly feasible to ’ put a plane down safely without ' lersonal injury to the pilot, especial--1 ly if the plane's gas tanks are in ; trout of him, as they are in the Spirit of St- Louis, and if the plane has a low landing speed. 1 “It is entirely feasible to make a ' landing in a tree without serious in--1 wry to tho pilot” it was apparent that he believed—apd he said so—tliat lie could have made a safe forced landing almost anywhere during.his good-will torn - . ' “What do you believe would have • been the consequences cf a forced anding of the 'Spirit of St. Louis' luring one of your over-wuter flights in the tour?" he was asked. 1 The faniuos Lindbergh smile Im- • mediately appeared. There was a • suggestion of a ‘diftking.’ but Lind--1 bergh carried: "Thai’s one I'll leave- to you to - answer.” The intjciview with, Lindbergh 1 amc to an after-thought of a tired ' iviator, who originally had tried to ’ unke a briefer discussion of his 1 light and future at Lambert Field, r vbere he landed at SP. M., 15 hours 5 md 35 minutes after hopping off ‘rom Havana. His flights through Central and • Soutli America, he said, lead him to ’ believe that commercial aviation J ‘here is "just as feasible” as it is in L he United States. He intimated he ' though its development would I treatly stimulate life below tho Rio ■ Grande. Reverting to his flight from Havana, the ‘Lone Eagle’ insisted that hroughout the day, despite some of ‘.he worst flying weather of the win- ‘ er, he experienced no discomfort nd at no time lost his bearings. ■ "1 hit the Mississippi river about >0 miles south of St Louis,” he said, ' fol owvd it until I reached thc mouth >f the Missouri, then swung west and 1 loiith, and picked up the field.” • Throughout the day he labored :nder a "low ceiling,” which trelueut'y obscured the land, a fog pail over St. Louis prevented him from making i circling Hight, over the city on his arrival, as he had planned. He roared out of a cloud shortly lefore 5 p.m. and came to life usually perfect three-point landing' after ■ circling the field four times to get his bearings. He appeared somewhat, till 'd and drawn on stepping from the pique, but after freshening up at the home cf a frieml seemed to have regained fully his quiet composure.
