A' night trip on a mysterious' errand brought the colonel nothing tangible. The United Press was advised reliably that the colonel and his! associates are at a blank wall, their clues exhausted but their! hopes still keen. Lindbergh is I striving to rebuild contacts to restore the child, now at his first effort, thr >ugh payment of 150,000 ' ransom, has come to an unhappy! conclusion. Colonel Lindbergh spent the better part of the night on trails, said to have brought him to the! metropolis. Meantime, from Cape Cod came word of a mysterious airplane scouting that region, perhaps on the trail of a elite to the kidnapers or answering a new tip that ( the child might be aboard a boat! in that vicinity. From Norfolk.

Darrow has expressed himself! 'against allowing the slain youth's mother to appear. . Mrs. Kahahawai, whose husband ! has stolidly chewed gum during the trial, broken down yesterday when ' witnesses told how a fatal bullet I was extracted from her son’s body. 1 The bullet.
