Corinth In History Corinth was an Important clly nt the time the Apostle Paul visited It, although it had not fully recov ered Its grandeur or the Import and export trade which it enjoyed be fore it was despoiled by the Iloinans in 140 B.

Augustus Caesar made It the capital of Achaea, KIDNAP CASE LATEST CLUE IS WORTHLESS (Continued From Pago Ono) Wlille Schwarzkopf said Investi gation of the Llghtfoot-Thornburg angle of . the case was being con tinued, investigators working under him let It be known they believed the whole theory had collapsed with discovery of the chisel. The wood from which the ladder was made, they pointed out, could have been easily secured from a hun dred places in the region and the chisel had really been the only thing thing connecting the disappearance of the Thornburgs with the kidnap ise. .., . : The rest of Schwarzkopf's bulletin dealt with angles of the case already proven to bo of no value. He spoke of the child held for a time at Crou ton, Iowa, and said a birthmark on that baby's chest had made It pos sible definitely to determine It was not the Lindbergh baby, which was not so marked. He mentioned also a report of four men In a bluo sedan with New York Ucenso plates who wero seen acting In a suspicious manner in Dunellen, N. J., the day bofore the kidnaping. "This has been thoroughly investi gated," he said, "and these people have been seen several times In Dun ellen since. While probably engaged In some suspicious action It Is quite evident this carries no Importance in this case." - Col, and Mrs. Charles A. Lindbergh, who-were waiting stoically through the dragging days and nights, .were reported today to pin their hopes on (1) A polico belief that Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr., kidnaped 10 days ago, is still alive. (2) A feeling that when the furore subsides, the kidnapers may negotiate the 20-months-old child's return. Excitement Dying Itmvn The world excitement that followed tho crime is already dying down. Yes terday newspapermen hero sent out by telegraph only 50,000 words On March 3, at the high pitch, 340,000 words streamed over the wires. A high police authority, declaring a belief the child Is alive, based It on the contention the kidnapers would be afraid to destroy tho Infant. It would be Just as easy to leave It In a hotel room If tho hunt pressed too close, he said. Although tho dotoctlvo ingenuity lavished on the cneo, ho said, would rival that of any of the master slouths of fiction or real life, tho police are no nearer a solution than they wero two weeks ago. ' They do not even know, ho Indi cated, whether the world's most noted kidnaping case was the work of pro fessional Infant snatchcrs or amateurs with amazing luck.
