JOLIET, 111., July 21. (U.PJ A
convict in state prison turned over to
Warden Frank B. Whipp today what
he said was the "true story" of the
Lindbergh baby kidnaping.
He named Frank Nash, slain in
the Kansas City union station mas
sacre a year ago, and Al Cnpone. now
in Atlanta prison, as the men behind
the plot.
The convict, John Tuwelczyk, said
the kidnaping was planned to free Ca
pone, then in jnil nt Chicago, follow
ing denial of Ins appeal from an in
come tax conviction.
At the time of the kidnaping, Ca
pone offered to aid authorities in
finding the child and said he bad
"friends who could trace the kid
nnpers. The information has been turned
over to federnl authorities, it was
learned.
Pawelczyk said he met Nash while
both were in Leavenworth prison. At
that time, according to the story, he
and tNnBh communicnted by means of a
code which later appeared on a note
left at the Lindbergh horn.
Pawelcnyk named as the actual kid-
papers Nash, one Bob Sandvich and
a womnn friend of the latter named
only as "Tessie."
Sandvich, he said, killed the Lind
bergh child with a Mow over the head
after a tire had blown out on their
car and they had become , panic
stricken.
According to the convlct'a atory,
Cpone conceived the plot in a des-p.-rate
attempt to win his freedom.
If that weer true, detectives pointed
out. the comparatively low ransom de
mand of $50,000 which puzzled au
thorities might be explained.
Pawelciyk, sentenced in Chicsgo,
is serving a one to 10-yenr terra for
manslaughter.
