malic HtnldenneHH revealed that "Alee” waa none other than Colonel Lindbergh. Curtia never referred to him by uuy other name, he aald. He underatood that It wan a name devised by Curtis and tin- kidnapiTs so they cmild discuss Lindbergh in telegrams and want ail messages. Once Curtis said to Haskell: "Alee and 1 will drop a bomb shell that will startle the world,"|

Haskell testified Haskell told of talking to Curtis after his hoax confessiun was made public. "Curtis told me he would have signed anything In order to get some sleep," he siiid. "I asked him if he had really been in contact with I lie kidnapers and he replied indignantly: 'Yes, 1 certainly was, ami the story is still to be ■ told and is in Norfolk'.”

Haskell's cross examination was brief. The next witness was Frank J. Wilson, Baltimore, special agent of the intelligence division, department of interns! revenue Wilson testified that Curtis had provided him with a description of the kidnapers' I><mt ami of the men aboard it. With this description, Wilson set the coast guard on a lengthy and expensive search.
