LINDBERGH BABY'S
FOUND CLOSE
By CALEB
The baby son of Colonel Charles
A. Lindbergh was found dead on
Thursday, May 12. The child had
been murdered.
The body, lying face down in a
depression and partly covered with
dead leaves was discovered by a
Negro truck driver in a patch of
woods in the Sourland Mountains
less than five miles from the Lind
bergh home near Hopewell, N. J.
The discovery was made by acci
dent when the driver, walking into
the woods from the road, found
what he thought was a child's foot
sticking out of the ground and no
tified the police. The identifica
tion followed quickly.
The news Instantly aroused the
sympathy and the indignation of
the whole world. President Hoover
announced that all of the forces
of the United States government
would be directed toward the dis
covery and arrest of the murderers.
He said:
"I have directed the law enforce
ment agencies and the several se
cret services of the Federal Gov
ernment to make the kidnaping and
murder of the Lindbergh baby a
live and never-to-be-forgotten case,
never to be relaxed until these
criminals are Implacably brought to
justice."
The New Jersey State police and
the numerous detective agencies
which had been engaged In the
search for the missing baby boy
had been forced to move cautiously
because of the fear that the kidnap
ers would kill the infant If they
found themselves hard pressed. But
as soon as It was certain that the
worst had happened, there was an
instant tightening of the lines and
the most determined man-hunt In
American history was begun.
It was soon apparent that the
child had been killed soon after he
was stolen from his crib in the nur
sery on the night of March 1. Whe
ther he had been killed with calcu
lating purpose by criminals who
found it advantageous to them to
get rid of the child, or whether he
had been thrown there by kidnap
ers fleeing In panic, was not de
termined. The body showed the marks of
two fractures of the skull, one on
the left side and the other on the
right. The latter was a hole a half-
inch In diameter.
"Unquestionably It was a brutal
murder," said Dr. Charles H. Mit
chell, County Physician of Mercer
County, after he had completed an
autopsy.
The condition of the body indi
cated that the child had been dead
at least two months, and there was
a strong possibility that he had
been killed on the very night of the
kidnaping.
Positive Identification of the
baby's body was furnished by Betty
Gow, the nursemaid, about whom
so much Interest In the case cen
tered Immediately after the baby's
dlsapearancc. The garments found
on the body were taken to the Lind
bergh home and examined by Miss
Gow there. She positively identi
fied the shirt and the waistband
as those of the baby whom she had
taken care of and to Whom she
was devoted. The sleeping suit
which the baby wore when he was
stolen was missing.
Dr. Van Nlgen of New York, the
child's physician, found the meas
urements of the body, the forma
tion and size of the skull, -the num
bcr and formation of the teeth and
the peculiarly twisted toes Identical
with those of the Lindborgn cnua
Though the search had extended
up and down the Atlantic coast,
had stretched from one border of
the United States to the other, and
J. C. Ball, one of the few remain
ing Civil war veterans of Morrow
county, returned to his home in
Heppner last week after spending
the winter in Portland. He said he
was pretty well fed up on the Wil
lamette valley rain and welcomed
an opportunity to get out and walk
in the warm Eastern Oregon sun
shine. He will spend the summer
at his home here.
Mr. and Mrs. Vawter Crawford
spent Friday and Saturday at
Waitsburg, Wash., where they went
to attend the funeral of an old
friend of the family, Mrs. Mary
Hubbard. They also visited with
relatives and friends there before
returning home Saturday evening.
Mr. and Mrs. C. H. Latourell and
daughter Alice and Dr. and Mrs.
A. D. McMurdo departed this fore
noon for Corvallis. The gentlemen
are going to the college city to take
part in the Oregonian telegraphic
shoot Sunday, representing Hepp
ner-Pilot Rock in the finals.
Commissioner Geo. N. Peck was
a visitor in town Tuesday from his
farm west of Lexington. Mr. Peck
reports crop conditions out his way
as being quite satisfactory, and
should a good rain visit the county
right soon an abundant yield will
be assured.
John Farley, son of Mr. and Mrs,
James Farley of this city who runs
a gents furnishing store at John
Day, visited Heppner relatives and
friends over the week end. He was
accompanied by two gentlemen
friends, Bob Stocker and Bill
Stearns.
Mrs. Frank S. Parker left Wed
nesday for Joseph where she goes
for a short visit at the home of Mr.
and Mrs. Dorris Mitchell and to
make the acquaintance of her re
cently arrived granddaughter.
Mrs. Bonnie Cochran returned
from a short visit at Portland on
Wednesday evening.
DEAD BODY
TO PARENT'S HOME
JOHNSON,
even had Included many cities in
Europe, the child had been lying
all those weeks near the home
from which he had been stolen, and
only a little more than a mile from
Hopewell, N. J., the center of much
of the activity surrounding the
case.
The place where the body was
found Is on the downward slope of
a hill directly across the valley
from the Lindbergh home. Before
Colonel Llndbergh'3 new home was
built, he and Mrs. Lindbergh lived
for a time within a mile of the
place where their child was to meet
his death.
Col. Lindbergh was away from
home when the body of his son was
found. He had been for several
days on a yacht, searching for an
other yacht on which, he had been
informed, the little boy was neia
prisoner. Mrs. Lindbergh and her
mother, Mrs. Dwight W. Morrow,
were at home. Mrs. Lindbergh will
be a mother again in August, it
was stated by her family.
The kidnaping of Charles Augus
tus Lindbergh Jr., 20-month-old son
of Colonel Lindbergh and the for
mer Anne Morrow, from the iso
lated Lindbergh home on Sourland
Mountain, near Hopewell, N. J., oc
curred between 8:30 and 10 o'clock
on the evening of Tuesday, March
1. In the days and hours which
elapsed before the solution of the
mystery virtually the entire civil
ized world followed every develop
ment with unparalleled concern.
While the search was spreading
throughout North America and
then to Europe and South America,
with ships being searched on both
the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans, the
child's body was lying within five
miles of his crib.
The discovery that the baby was
missing was made by Miss Betty
Gow, 26-year-old Scottish nurse,
who had nut the child to sleep in
his crib at 8 o'clock. The youngster
was sleeping soundly when she
looked In at 8:30 o'clock, but the
crib was empty when she returned
at 10. Muddy footprints were vis
ihl nn the floor between the crib
and a window, the shutter of which
could not be fastened because it
was warped.
In the nursery on a cedar chest,
just beneath the window, the kid
napers left a note, tne exact con
tents of which had Dcen Kepi care
fully secret. It had been reported
and no denied, however, that the
missive promised the child would
be cared for and demanded a ran
som of $50,000.
While the entire nation, from
President Hoover down, was shock
ed by the crime and assurances of
coordinated vigilance came from
every branoh of the Federal, State
and local law-enforcing agencies,
the first few days of the anguished
hunt brought forth nothing but a
flood of wild rumors, false leads and
crank letters.
On April 2 Colonel Lindbergh
Daid $50,000 in small notes in a
lonely spot In the Bronx to a man
who had convinced him he was In
touch with the kidnapers. Dr. J. F.
Condon, Fordham lecturer, was the
intermediary; but this series of
negotiations proved fruitless.
Meanwhile, John Hughes Curtis,
a Norfolk boatbulldcr, convinced
that he had made contact with the
kidnapers, told his story to Rear
Admiral Guy H. Burrage, retired,
and the Rev. H. Dobson-Peacock
of Norfolk. For weeks Mr. Curtis
made mysterious trips to sea and
overland by plane In a fruitless
effort to completo his negotiations,
and then admitted, after discovery
of the body, that his story was
hoax, having no foundation.
Miss Leta Humphreys arrived
home Saturday from Long Beach,
Calif., and is now located with
Humphreys Drug company as phar
macist Miss Humphreys was ac
companied to Heppner by Miss Le
na Newton of Long Beach, who will
visit here for a short time.

IN OREGON HOMES
Clatskanie An adequate and ap
petizing luncheon costing only six
and one-half cents per person was
prepared recently by a group of
Clatskanie homemakers. The meal
consisted of rice casserole, a green
salad, prune bread pudding and
bread and butter. These women
are cooperating in the home econ
omics extension service which is su
pervised by Mrs. Sarah V. Case,
home demonstration agent in Co
lumbia county.
Enterprise How she introduced
modern, energy saving ideas into
her kitchen is reported by a home
maker of Enterprise, as follows:
"My kitchen is not modern so it is
hard for me to make changes. How
ever, I moved my work table near
er to the stove and put a shelf over
it. Now I have within easy reach
a pair of scissors which are new to
my kitchen equipment, newspaper
squares, cooking spoons, spices and
a ruler."

Eighth Meeting of Woe Six Cooks.
At the beginning of the meeting,
held at the Alpine school near Lex
Ington, a new song was sung call
ed "Club Work," written to the tune
of "Jingle Bells." The words are
as follows, "Club work girls, club
work boys, club work every day,
and, oh, what fun to play. Head
and heart, hand and health, thit Is
what we say, stands for club work
everywhere, in our good old U. S
A." Also copies of the "chjef yell"
were provided by Rhuey Ann Sen
ter. The words are, "Hobble, gob
ble Kazzle, dazzle! Zip, boom, bah
Wee Sis Cooks club, rah! rah! rah!"
The pledge was given. Of the six
members, Rhuey Ann Senter and
Reitha Howard have completed
their groups In the cooking project
and are now working on extra
dishes. There are ten groups in all
with Peggy Kilkenny having com
pleted seven, Doris Klinger and
Dorothy Doherty, eight, and Gene
Senter nine.
The minutes were approved as
read. Then the president announc
ed for every one to go Into the
cooking room where a demonstra
tion was given by Peggy Kilkenny
and Drothy Doherty. They showed
how to prepare delicious sand
wiches which was group eight.
They served hot cocoa, sandwiches
and a very good cake which was
generously given by Reitha How
ard, one of the club members. Dor
othy Doherty made a delicious sal
ad dressing to go on the lettuce
and peanut butter combination
sandwiches. The girls had not yet
eaten their dinner and the cocoa
with sandwiches and cake just "hit
the spot" The visitors were Mrs.
Clary, the high school teacher, two
seniors from the high school, Mar
garet Howard and Alex Lindsay,
and a sophomore, Camilla Kilken
ny. Alex Lindsay in his talk with
the class called them "Wee Sick
Cooks." Evidently the sample of
food caused him to make this mis
take. Peggy Kilkenny said, "I
have finished my group one, which
is French toast. The first time I
made it I put something in it that
I should not have. The second
time I burnt it, but the third seem
ed to be all right" In the demon
stration Friday Reitha brought a
midget cake to school to be tested
by the club leader. While the lead
er and the girls were sampling it,
they all pronounced it very good,
but Rhuey Ann said, "Don't let
them fool you, Reitha."

Spray road camp. Edna, Joe and
Lura Stephens were up there wait
ing for the rest of the children. All
the children brought baskets. In
the morning the children explored.
Then they came back and played
hide and go seek, which did not
last very long. Then they all went
in search of a place to play base
ball. They couldn't find any good
places except in a wide place in the
road so they played there. When
they would see a car coming they
would pick up their bases and get
out of the way. This game didn't
last very long for it got too warm
and then all the children were get
ting hungry. The boys moved a
table out of the cabin so we all
could eat under the trees. Then
Miss Huston dismissed the boys and
the girls set the table. Before dinner
Mrs. Ray Wright and Beth came.
They were late because Beth had to
go to Heppner. There was a real
dinner and every one of the mem
bers enjoyed it. After dinner some
of the boys and girls went up and
played in the sand pile and when
they got tired they came back and
went in wading. Howard Griffin
and Don Allstott both fell in the
creek. A lot of the others were
awful wet. Then Dorris Allstott
called them in for the regular 4-H
club meeting. All the members sang
