A second son was born to Col.
and Mrs. Charles: A. Lindbergh,

at 6: JO a.m. today, five and
" one-half months alter their first
child was kidnaped and slain.
Despite the ordeal she sustaln-
ed with fortitude the whole world
admired, Anne Morrow r Lind
bergh was understood to be "do
ing nicely,", and unconfirmed re
. ports said the same abont the
baby. ""
Always insistent on the right
of himself and 'his family to pri
vacy in their personal affairs
Colonel Lindbergh did not make
public any . details of his son's
weight or appearance.'
. Late in the afternoon, however.
Colonel Lindbergh sent out a
statement .expressing the hope
. there would not be continued
publicity on the birth of his son
"Mrs. Lindbergh and I have
made our home in New Jersey,'
he said. It is naturally our wish
to continue to live there near
our friends and interests. Obvi
ously, however, it is Impossible
for us to subject the life of our
second son to the publicity which
we feel was in a large measure
responsible for the death of our
first - -
"We feel that our children
have a right to grow up normally
with other children.' Continued
publicity will make this Impossi
ble. I am appealing to tne press
to sennit our children to lead
the lives of normal Americans.1
(The Associated Press cooper
ating with jCoL .Lindbergh in the
kidnaping case and received rrom
him a message of appreciation
Before the birth et his second
child today the ' Associated Press
also assured !ol. Lindbergh? it
was its desire to report the event
In a manner befitting the oec
slon and that future stories, as
In the past, would be on legiti
mate news developments. An
nouncement of the birth of the
second child was telephoned the
Associated Press today with coi
Lindbergh's approval. T
Though no announcement has
been made about the new baby's
name, friends 'were agreed in ex
pecting it would be uwignt Mor
