I some letter left in the baby's crib < | Tuesday night by the kidnapers. The ransom letter is the first ’ : "authentic” note. It ended with I this phrasing: “You know my signature.” i The signature was three dots en-. closed within a triangle. The first note, it was revealed i I last night, assured the parents I there child would not be harmed I I It had been kept secret until now for fear publication would antagonize the abductors. j The message also asked that the : money he paid in small bills, none of which was lirger than a 120 de | nomination. This indicated, some I authorities felt, that the abductors | were intelligent even if amateurs, .for large bills would lead to their 'eventual capture. No place or time lor payment was suggested.

Also, it was revealed by Governor A. Harry Moore, directing activities about the area, that no fingerprints found within the Lind-1 bergh home matched taint prints found on the ransom note and lad dor used by the kidnapers to reach : the second floor nursery. Neither di<l prints on the note resemble those on a letter threatening lite life of Constance Morrow, Anne Morrow Lindberghs' ■ sister. This not was the only clue developed within the past 24 hours | that did not fall within the hundreds classed as fantastic, moronic, or fanatical. One given some ere- ' dence earlier was revealed as the insult of a seance. With hourly developments of socalled "hot clues," the leaders in I the investigation did not relax their efforts to find the source of I "inside information" they felt the , kidnapers held. This theory was advanced by one ■as close to the Lindbergh family as- Mrs. Dwight Morrow, widowed grandmother of the kidnaped baby. I She "could not see" how the abI duction could have been successfully executed otherwise. And that school of hard boiled police investigators and detectives, represented by Michael Eiaschetti, i Italian veteran of a score of allegi ed black hand investigations, held I the same view. Eiaschetti said: "This was an inside job done by: i someone with brains enough to j plan the job but with not enough i experience to see how hard it i would be to collect. If 1 were on | 'the ease, 1 would concentrate on I someone who knew the house. “They talk about workmens They . would know where the room was I but how would they know the child ■was alone? How would they know about that unhooked screen? "1 think they will find the child j within a few miles of the home. , There is a terrible risk that the fool who took him will kill him in i panic when he finds he can't get , . rid of him. "No gang did it. Gangsters j ! wouldn't know what time the child ! was put to bed, or when the nurse 1 left the room.” he said. Members of the family have professed their utmost faith in mem , I bers of the household. Neverthe- ■ I less, authorities naturally are : I checking on each one of them, and ion former servants, and former

employes in whatever capacity. < Nearly 400 persons have been ques- t 'tinned to date. i I The throe servants at the Lind- < bergh home wbrti the baby was stolen are: Betty Gow; vivacious, 23-year-old , lirunejte nurse Bobbed hair. Blue , eyes. Native of Glasgow, Scotland. ( ■ Came here three years ago. Employed by Lindberghs a year. Beleeted by Elisabeth Morrow. Anne’s j sister. Liittle Charles’ first word I was "Betty.” Ollie Whatley: English butler who acts as caretaker. With Lindbergh or Morrows several years. Dark, lean faced. Hitter as result of the kidnaping. Mrs. Whatley: wife of Ollie, serves as maid and cook. Extremely fond of stolen youngster. Has j | sobbed and wept repeatedly since the crime. Marie Cummings also was ques-1 Honed exhaustively during the day. j She was Mrs. Lindbergh's nurse | prior to birth of. the baby. She had I left her work with an Englewood hospital to accept the position, and left Mrs. Lindbergh's employe some time after birth of the baby. It was she who announced Io the father and grandfather: 'lt's a boy.” Authorities refused to say along what line these employes, former l employes, and others were question- i jed. They refused to divulge Mias , Cummings’ pieaent address. Miss Gow, it was learned further, formerly was employed in the home of Mrs. Warren Sullivan of Englewood and a Mrs. Gibbs of j Teaneck. N. J. Her only relative was reported to be Mrs. William I Gow. of Tenafly. N. J., a sister-in-1 law. now in Scotland, where she] went after her husband. William.! 'was killed accidentally. He was a public service commission employe. One of the questions that baffled Mrs. Morrow was: "How did the kidnapers know .Charles and Anne were remaining at Hopewell instead of returning , to Englewood as was their custom?" it was revealed that the couple | habitually lived only their week i ends at the Lindbergh estate, and. | remained at other times with Mrs. j Morrow at Englewood. This one I I iusUince, they remained Monday ! and Tuesday becau.se of the baby's I cold.
