La Bruyere., ' EXAMINATION OF FAKER IS , CONTINUING (Continued From Page One) last night and was to be pressed to day. Curtis Watched Closely Curtis is being watched closely by the police for fear his "remorse" may tempt him to commit suicide, a high official revealed today. Curtis' every movement is being watched, it was said. Later Information from Norfolk told of police taking mud scrapings from a green sedan owned by Curtis to determine whether any Jersey mud clung to the car. The first confidential announce ment of the kidnaping of the Lind bergh baby March 1, sent on the In terstate police alarm system said the child had been spirited away In a green automobile. During a recent telephone conversation with the Nor folk public safety commissioners Cur tis described a green car to him and said discovery of that automobile bergh. wrote him ri letter thanking him for all his efforts. Curtis was detained, however, and his examina tion continued, .until . , he., .suddenly broke down yesterday and typed out his confession. V - All Work Co-ordinated .Gov. A. Harry Moore of New Jersey announced today that "all police work, state and federal" is now co ordinated and all forces .are swing ing along with tho same purpose In view." , ' ! ' Gov. Moore said it was' probable Curtis would be arraigned today after a complaint had been sworn out against him by the police. A Btate charge, if made, tho governor said, would probably be that of making falso statements "which In effect means hampering the ends of Jus tice." There were reports here today, also, that Curtis would be charged by the federal government with hampering the functions of the government. On the strength of his story the coast guard patrolled the coast. A report disseminated by a news service (not the Associated press) that Curtis had actually attempted to take his life, was officially denied at the state house. Major Charles Schoeff el, assistant superintendent of state police, made the following statement through John Tooey, secretary to Gov. Moore. - "We had information from a con fidential source in Norfolk that this man (Curtis) became Involved in fin ancial difficulties and attempted sui cide and after receiving that Infor mation, for his own protection we placed a guard over him 24 hours a day.' He has neither attempted sui cide nor has he had an opportunity. He is atlll being detained for ques tioning." Mrs. Curtis, shortly after the an nouncement that her husband had confessed to have faked his negotia tions, said Curtis was at home on the night of March 1. BOOTLEG O EH ACCUSES CURTIS MINEOLA. N. Y May 18 W In spector Harold R. King of the Nassau county police said today that one hour before John Hughes Curtis con fessed his whole story about the Lind bergh kidnaping hoax he was con fronted In Hopewell with a Long Island bootlegger who charged him with having double-crossed him In a deal Involving a substantial sum of money. King said the bootlegger .was found by John Fogarty, a private detective employed from the start by Col. Henry Breckinridge. Col. Lindbergh's friend and attorney. He withheld the name of the boot legger, who he said, lived in Rock ville Center, Long Island. The man's story, according to King, was that last December he paid Cur tis a substantial sum of money with the understanding Curtis was to use It to purchase Influence for him with the authorities at Norfolk. This, he said, Curtis failed to do. CLARKS FLORISTS Bevause of the death of our father, our Retail Store will be in charge of A Representative Of Young: & Lester's of Walla Walla, Washington.

W, Ironmonger said to day he did not believe that John Hughes Curtis had made 'a complete confession regarding his fake nego titlons in the Lindbergh case, and that he has withheld "something important." . Chief Ironmonger would not give any indication of the nature of the Information he said he believed Cur tis has withheld. The police official also refused to say whether he had learned that Curtis had associates working with him to fake tho nego tiations. No new Information, be said, had been obtained here by Norfolk In vestigators, who havo suspended their work until further developments or requests from New Jersey authorities.
