: HOPEWELL, N. J., May 17
An astoundingonfeBsion by John
Hughes Curtis revealing bis en
tire participation in the search for
the stolen son ot the Lindberghs
to be a gigantic hoax, churned up
a whirlpool of developments to
night. Out of the excitement precipi
tated by the admissions at the
44-year-old Norfolk (Va.) "Inter
mediary," . who 1 broke down and
typed out the true facts of his ef
forts, came these salient points:
1. Curtis, in embarking upon
the project which tortured Col
onel Charles A. Lindbergh with a
false hope until the very night his
first born was found dead, appar
ently was motivated by a desire
to recoup financial losses be had
suffered In business. In his own
words Curtis "became insane on
the subject."
All Persons Named
Purely Imaginary
3. All of the boats and per
sons with whom he claimed to
have dealt were creatures ot his
Imagination and so far as his con
fession disclosed his hoperof mo
netary reward lay in the prospect
of lucrative film and newspaper
contracts. However, police said
they had no eridence Curtis re
ceived money from anyone.
3. Curtis held one of his two
associates, "Dean H. Dobspn-Pea-eock.
responsible foe ancauxaging
the activity and-faillng to prevent
this trouble." The clergyman,
however, from his southern home
viforously denied such was the
case and asserted he had acted In
good faith throughout
i 4. Authorities by telegraph
asked Dean Dobson-Peacock
whether he would come here vol
untarily for questioning,
i 5. Colonel Lindbergh withheld
any recommendation as to possl
hl nrosecution of Curtis. Stat
utes, both? federal and state, un
der which action migni oe mcu
agatnst purtls were scrutinized by
ttitin- The nossibllty of fed
