HOPEWELL, N. J.. March 9
Although Col- "Charles A. Lind
bergh has taken every possible
step to negotiate directly and con
fidentially with the kidnapers of
his son, It was learned tonight in
an apparently reliable quarter the
abductors hare informed him they
did not feel It yet safe to deal with
him further. .
The two notes he received Sun
day are reported to have contain
ed the information that when the
chlld-stealers considered the time
"proper and gafe'lhey would let
the famous flier know how he
could communicate with them.
Neither these two notes nor the
ransom demand left pinned to
the window sill of th. anrsery a
week ago last night contained spe
cific information about where and
how the parents could reach the
kidnapers to bargain with them.

Meanwhile, there were indica

Lindbergh's" health at tonight's

Earlier he had said the secret
