HOPEWELL, N. J., May 13.—
CAP)—The picture of a father
standing alone before the broken
body of his slain son, a mother
secluded in grief and a president
calling for action inspired the
mightiest law enforcement agen
cies of the nation tonight to catch
the murderers of Baby Lindbergh.
Meantime the wide-flung man
hunters were gripped with the
growing belief that the criminals
who stole the infant March 1
sought ransom after they had
killed him.
The focal point of this school of
thought was the little white cover
all sleeping suit the child wore on
the night of the kidnaping. This
was missing when the battered
body, wasted to a skeleton, was
stumbled upon in a woods by a
negro truckman yesterday less
than five miles from the Lind
bergh home.
And—a garment purporting to
be this same sleeping suit was
the “token” by which Colonel
Charles A. Lindbergh and his 72
year-old agent, Dr. John F. Con- (
don, were brought to pay $50,000
ransom in the murky darkness of
a New York City cemetery.
These were the salient facts
scrutinized by New Jersey’s crack
detectives gathered at a distance
from the bare Trenton morgue
where the famous flier looked at
his first born for the last time.
Mrs. Lindbergh, who is expect
ing another child next summer,
stayed close beside her mother
here, preferring to remember- her
curly-haired boy as she knew him
alive.
Haggard and worn, Colonel
Lindbergh called upon his most in
timate friend, Colonel Henry
Breckenridge, to drive him by mo
tor car to Trenton.
“It is positively the baby,” said
Colonel Lindbergh after a minute
inspection.
He was inside the morgue for
half an hour. Just before he left
a hearse drew up and the body
was placed inside for transporta
tion to a crematory at Linden,
N. J.
When the colonel arrived at the
morgue a crowd of several hun
dred persons gathered in the
street, with a special police detail
on hand to keep order.
His expression was sober and he
seemed weary as he came from
the building and sank back into a
corner of his automobile.
When the car swung out of the
alley, the crowd, now so large that
it tied up traffic for a considerable
distance, broke police lines and fol
lowed.
The car, driven by Colonel H.
Norman Schwarzkopf, state police
head, was preceded to a crematory
in Linden by a hearse bearing the
little oak casket.
Fifty or more outsiders who had
gathered around the place were re
quested to leave.
When the grounds had been

Anne Lindbergh Continues To
Bear Up W ell Under Strain
Ey KATHERINE BEEBE
(Associated Press Staff Writer)
HOPEWELL, N. J., May 13.—
(AP)—For Anne Lindbergh today
there was no more uncertainty.
Nor any hope.
No more of the agony of won
dering whether her baby was alive
and how he was being treated by
the strangers who took him away.
No reason any more to start up
eagerly at the ringing of the tele
phone.
Gone was even the slight com
fort to be derived from things that
kept her busy yesterday afternoon
and last night—running upstairs
to the nursery for a little shirt
that helped to identify the dead
child as her son, calling again and
again on the telephone to try to
reach his father.
Her friends said today she was
being very brave, wandering about
the long, bright living room, quiet
and forlorn.
She could not even see little
Charles.
It was said last night, when
some member of the household had
to go to the morgue in Trenton to
make the identification, she begged
to be allowed to go.
They told her it would be better
if she did not, and the nurse, Betty
Gow, was sent.
After Colonel Lindbergh arrived,
she retired upstairs. At 4 a. m. she
was still pacing up and down her
room.
A physician called during the
evening, but stayed only a few min
utes. Friends of the family say her
second baby is not expected until
late August or early September

Picks Up Injured Flier
47 Miles From Land
S.S. PRESIDENT ROOSEVELT,
AT SEA, May 13.—(AP)—Lou
Reichers was forced down in his
plane Liberty 47 miles off Fastnet
light tonight and was rescued with
several injuries.
The President Roosevelt lowered
a lifeboat which went alongside
the plane, where seamen found the
lone pilot with a broken nose and
a lacerated face. He explained he
was forced to alight on account
of a damaged wing and fuselage
and because of fuel shortage.
Reichers was brought aboard
| the vessel and was placed under
; the care of Surgeon Mulligan. It
was impossible to salvage the life
boat or plane on account of a high,
rough sea. Chief Officer Manning
was in charge of the lifeboat which
took Reichers off, and Captain
Fried was in command of the
President Roosevelt.
The plane was sighted at 9:10
p. m., Greenwich mean time (4
p. m., Eastern standard time) in
latitude 51.14 north and longitude
10.50 west. The weather was hazy,
the visibility was poor and a

Spicy Presentation of Opera
Lauded Heartily by Audience
-- +_
Petzold, Addleman, Nash,
Burnett Get Praise for
Presentations
By DAVE WILSON
If the football game, Vic Mey
er’s band, or the local rat-race
kept you away from "The Beg
gar's Opera" last night, by all
means put it on your calendar for
this afternoon or this evening.
Last night's performance was two
hours of solid enjoyment for eye,
ear, and sense of humor.
Out of the cast of forty or more,
there were at least a dozen indi
vidual performances to which an
entire review might be devoted, but
the chief score for congratulation
is the way in which the whole
group caught and portrayed the
spirit of the grand old work.
“The Beggar's Opera” is no
drawing room playlet for a Ladies’
Aid afternoon, and the present pro
duction did not tone down the salty
passages nor gloss over the hard
ier aspects of the action.
From the scene in the first act
where the Peachum parents (Sally
Addleman and Guy Wernham)
caustically condemn daughter
Polly (Grace Burnett) for marry
ing Highwayman MacHeath when
she might have been content with
an intrigue, until the finale chorus
of “Thus I stand like the Turk with
his doxies around,” the lusty tone
of satiric realism is firmly main
tained.
A present-day audience finds
“The Beggar's Opera” particularly
enjoyable, because in it John C.ay
threw pointed barbs at 18 century
English society which today find
their mark in 20th century Ameri
ca. The low esteem in which the
holy state of matrimony was held
is reflected in modern Reno; Mac
Heath's gang of robbers and cut
throats are in as high esteem as
the better bands of metropolitan
gangsters; and gold is shown to
have been as much a lubricant in
the machinery of “justice" as it is
today.
Gifford “Buck” Nash, as Mac
Heath, filled the leading role in
dashing fashion. His noble bari
tone made his part a musical suc
cess, and as for his acting,—well,
he domineered his men and craw
fished before his women in con
vincing fashion.
Sally Addleman, as Mrs. Peach
um, was a show in herself. She
established herself as an actress,
and her reputation as a soprano
didn’t suffer in the least. Although
on the stage for only the first act,
she kept the audience convulsed,
and worked up through quick
stages to a triumph in that little
ditty, “In the Days of My Youth
I Could Bill Like a Dove.”
The feminine lead was divided

lirilliuiit minds deduced that
there must be a cause for water

Two floors above in the lair

Tuba Solos, "William Tell”
Overture Concert Features
With an exceptional group of,
numbers arranged and the pro
gram featuring tuba solos by W. F. |
Gilstrap, first-chair player of the
Eugene Municipal band, the sec
ond of the spring outdoor series of
concerts by the University band
will be given this Sunday on the
mill-race starting at 7 p. m.
The program varies as to con
tent but consists of popular concert
numbers. The opening composition,
“Le Pere de la Victoire” march by
Louis Ganne, is a spirited French
military march. It was recently
used as incidental music in the mo
tion picture “Morocco.”
Offeiibach's overture to “Or
pheus in the Underworld” is a well
known standard overture with a
beautiful largo written as solo for
the euphonium in the band ar
rangement. The Presto Finale is
especially popular with concert
audiences everywhere.
The band accompanies Mr. Gil
strap in Basel er’s ‘‘Happy
Thoughts,” a composition written
for the tuba. In the first of these
concerts the band had Phil Moll,
vibra-harp player of Portland, as
guest soloist. Mr. Gilstrap will ap
pear as the guest soloist on this
program.
Excerpts from the “Wizard of
the Nile” is probably one of Vic
tor Herbert’s earliest operas. It
is very musical and has a pro
nounced oriental character in spots.
One of the loveliest melodies ever
written by Herbert is scored as
solo for the Euphonium in this
band arrangement.
“Forget-me-not" intermezzo by
Allen Macbeth is a graceful little
number in which the clarinets and
the euphonium carry most of the
work.
Rossini’s overture to “William
Tell" is a perennial favorite, and
one of the most popular overtures
ever written. It is a descriptive
overture, tfut does not make use of
"traps” for its effects.
The first movement depicts the
breaking of dawn, with solemn ar
peggios in the bassoon and clari
nets, together with an entrancing
melody. Gradually the storm gath
ers in the distance—the faint roll
ing of thunder being portrayed by
trills in the clarinets. The storm
draws nearer and nearer and final
ly breaks in full force with crash
ing chords in the brass.
This is followed by the Pastoral,
sung by the oboe and flute, which
is justly one of the most famous
oboe passages ever written. The
magnificent finale, in rapid march
time, depicts the march of the
Swiss soldiers.
