CURTIS, HELD IN JAIL FOR LINDY FAKE, SAYS MINISTER BACKED HIM‘FOR PUBLICITY’ Wanted to Give Up ‘Search/ but ‘Carried On’ Because Urged by Head of Norfolk Society Church, Says Shipbuilder. FAIL TO LINK HOAXER TO KIDNAPING Virtually Absolves Shipbuilder in Taking of Murdered Baby From Home; Police Likely to Grill Dean. BY DELOS SMITH United Prei Stiff Corremondeat HOPEWELL, N. J., May 19.—New Jersey state police and their colleagues of national and metropolitan forces followed today in the Lindbergh kidnaping case trails, many of which had grown cold with time. Their most helpful aid, Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon, rested in his home, fatigued by the strain of many hours in the search of an identification to help trace down the murderer of Colonel Lindbergh’s baby, Charles Jr. John Hughes Curtis, whose fabricated story of “contacts” with the “kidnapers,” had landed him as prisoner No. 13 in Flemington’s town jail after waiving hearing, still was a subject for examination, and his colleague, the Very Rev. Dean H. Dobson-Peacock, of a fashionable Norfolk (Va.) church, likely is to undergo sharp interrogation at his home.

Curtis, the hoaxing boat builder from Norfolk, wanted to drop all Lindbergh “negotiations” March 15, he charged Wednesday night just before arraignment, “but carried on, because I had been urged by Dean Dobson-Pea-cock, who was enjoying the publicity.” Governor Harry Moore New Jersey let It be known today he Is anxious to have a New Jersey authority cross-question Mr. DobsonPeacock, who virtually has defied the state police in their efforts to bring him here to confront Curtis. The feeling in Norfolk has been that Curtis has been subjected to a six-day third degree by police. The minister's friends advised him not to go to Hopewell. The dean is willing to face examination at Norfolk, he says, so Moore proposes to send an examiner, if Colonel H. Norman Schwartzkopf of the state police agrees. Admits Asking $25,000 Deposit Dean Dobeon-Peacock has admitted broaching, on behalf of Curtis. the plan to have Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh deposit a $25,000 fund in Norfolk to be paid the kidnapers only if the baby were returned to Lindbergh's satisfaction. The clergyman maintains his was an honorable and innocent role, and his friends in Norfolk are rallying to his side, believing that he now is the victim of a vengeful spirit on the part of Curtis and Schwartzkopf. Curtis is accused of giving false information hampering detection of criminals, but state police, through their official bulletin today, practically absolved him of all connection with the kidnaping itself. There are hints that he has not told all he knows, but insofar as authorities reveal, they do not feel that he did more than perpetrate a hoax, cruel in its effects on the Lindberghs, and costly in time and money to authorities. Not Linked With Kidnaping The bulletin said nothing had been discovered "that w-ould in any way link him with the actual kidnapers/' In Mexico, the authorities still bunted for Harry Fleischer of the r frplc gang. Morris Rosner. an agent employed temporarily by the Lindberghs, told >fte New York World-Telegram in a copyrighted interview today that he had contacted many underworld leaders, and that the underworld had done its utmost to aid in solution of the kidnaping. Dean Dobson-Peacock has denied that he urged Curtis on in the crudest deception on the records of American crime. The dean cited the fact that their ••negotiations'' did not get under ■way until March 23. Numerous Odd Theories Among the puzzling statements Unanswered, and odd theories checked were these: Colonel Schwartzkopf announced that detectives sent ,to Norfolk could not verify the original story of the negotiations told by Curtis. Dean Dobson-fcacock toki police of his reported mysterious trip to New York, when, he said, he was Interviewed by well-dressed gangsters in a hotel there, who suggested a down payment of SSOO and *50.000 C. O. D. He "would do the same thing again under the same circumstances, ’’ he told the detectives. Curtis was in New York at the time, and phone calls from -gangsters” were traced to Curtis. Schwartzkopf told of the reported trip to Hopewell, April 28. during which Dobson-Pea cock suggested the *25,000 “earnest money'' be deposited in a Norfolk bank in his name. A green car named by Curtis as •-important ' in the kidnaping mystery was sought and found to be bis own, parked at his shipyard. Mud on it was checked to determine if it were from the region near Hopewell. This check was (Tarn to Page One, Second Section) _

GEORGE DALE, ON WITNESS STAND, CHARGES HE WAS FRAMED BY UNDERWORLD Government Witnesses Appear Against Him Because They Were Solicited to Do So, Mayor Declares. EMPHATIC IN DENIALS OF GUILT Muncie Executive Asserts He Is Opposed to Prohibition Law, ‘Since This Case Came Up.’ Declaring he was framed by lawless elements he sought to stamp out, Mayor George R. Dale of Muncie today defended himself against the federal court charge of conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. Shouting vehemently at times his denial of numerous charges made against him, Dale testified bluntly that the government’s prosecuting witnesses appeared against him “because they were solicited to do so.”

The Muncie mayor was questioned for nearly two hours as the government neared the end of its case against Dale and ten other Muncie defendants. So emphatic was Dale’s denial of the charges that on one occasion Judge Robert C. Baltzell reprimanded the witness. Opposed to Dry Law This occurred as Dale was being cross-examined by George R. Jeffrey, district attorney, who asked the Muncie mayor if he is “bitterly opposed to the prohibition law.” “Yes, I have been since this case came up,” Dale shouted. "And were you before this,” Jeffrey asked. “No,” Dale ejaculated, nearly rising to his feet. "Did you ever conspire with anybody to violate the liquor laws?” he was asked. “No,” Dale answered, adding "I never attempted to protect any one in the unlawful sale of liquor.” Frank Massey, police chief and defendant, and Gilbert Meade, insurance agent, followed Dale to the stand. Referring to testimony of Thomas Duncan, Negro. former police chauffeur for Dale, the witness was asked If liquor was transported by him and Massey from Muncie to an Indianapolis hotel for the 1930 Democratic state convention. Liquor at Convention “There was not,” Dale declared.. “Was there any liquor at all at the convention?” Baltzell interrupted. “Judge, there was,” Dale responded. Dale declared he met and talked with members of the Muncie underworld "only to find out about graft.” Dale was asked if Duncan, the chauffeur, was a political friend. “Would he tell a lie about you?” Jeffrey questioned. "Yes.” shouted Dale again, adding, "for the same reason that others have. Because they have been solicited to do so.” Dale denied that he ordered Dan Davis, Muncie policeman, to arrest Joseph H. Denny, special government agent assigned to the Muncie investigation. On cross-examination. Dale answered “yes” to the question, "Is Massey a good police chief?” Knew They Were Fired “And within an hour after you took office, the whole police force . was fired without trial and anew 1 force named; Isn't that true?” Dale j was asked. “No trials were asked. They knew why they were fired,” Dale retorted, j "Why did Massey pay so many visits to your home?” Dale was asked. “Because I wanted him to tell me about graft. That was the only arrangement ever made for me to meet people of the underworld,” Dale replied. Questioned about Bohlinger, Dale was asked if he had confidence in the man. “Yes, Aw the things I wanted him to do.” “What was that?” “He could tell me what was going on.” Dale answered. “Did you believe what he said?" “I sorted it out,” Dale replied. “Then why did you keep him on the police force?,” Jeffrey asked. “I had a sort of liking for him.

He came to me and told me he’d been having a hard time, so I offered to help the man out,” Dale | said. Dale asserted he met Clifton Crannor, coal dealer and ex-works board mmeber in Massey’s home, under arrangements Massey completed, j The mayor said he had believed | that the meeting was for the purpose of discussing alleged illegal ; contracts entered Into by the board I of works while Cranor was a member. Admitted Truth, Says Dale % “I’d been publishing that the works board under the Hampton administration had been crooked; had let crooked contracts and levied taxes on every piece of real estate,” Dale continued. “I told Cranor that I felt he'd be the best witness I could find, since he had been a member of the works board, although I hadn't talked to him for some time. "Cranor said all I had published and said over the radio was true and that before the regular meet- • ing was held ” At this point. Dale's testimony was blocked by objections from Jef- | frey. "Did you say that you would name Massey police chief and what Massey said would be all right with you?” Dale was asked. “No," he answered. Denies 'Lay-Off’ Order “Was there anything said there about taking care of the boys south of the railroad?” “Yes,” Dale replied. "Cranor asked what I’d do for his boys south of the railroad and in other parts of the city. “I told Cranor he was a good coal merchant and he had better I stay In that business and that ’Plug’ j Waldron was a good barber and he 1 ought to go into that business. Dale denied that he ordered Fred Bohlinger, former police spy, to “lay off” Joints of two bootleggers, both later arrested and convicted. Dale declared Bohlinger never had delivered nine pints of whisky to his home, as testified to by Bohlinger. “Do you drink whisky?” Dale was asked. “I do not,” he answered.

He admitted being In a hotel room, seeing liquor there and taking a drink. He admitted he drank but denied he drank in Muncie while chief. He said he did what drinking he did out of the city. For this Baltzell interceded with the question: “Do you think it’s right for you to drink, even while out of Muncie, and then prosecute those who violate the liquor laws?” “No,” answered Massey. Tells of Raid Describing the raid on the alleged house of 111 fame In which Denny was arrested, Massey told the court he and Captain Albert Parkhurst and Fred Ellis were driving around and met Sims and Davis. “We told them,” testified Massey, "that we'd heard of the women soliciting by pecking on the windows, and wanted it stopped. “After a while we got a call from Officer Doolittle, saying there was a fellow at Anna Morning’s house with a gun and was threatening them. I’d never head of Denny before. When he came in, he said, T understand you want to see me.’ "I told him, ‘I suppose so; who are you?’ He told me and showed me his credentials and then he told me Bohlinger was a government witness. Soon Dale came in and talked to Denny. Dale offered to let Denny use any room in headquarters or the courthouse he he wanted for his questioning.
