The wood from which the ladder

The rest of Schwarzkopf's lulletln
dealt with angles of the case already
proven to be of no value. He spoke
of the child held for a time at Cres
ton. Iowa, and said a birthmark on
that baby's chest had made It pos
sible definitely to determine It was
not the Lindbergh baby, which was
not so marked.
He mentioned also a report of four
men in a blue sedan with New York
license plates, who were seen acting
In a suspicious manner In Duncllen,
N. J., the day before the kidnaping.
"This has been thoroughly Inves
tigated," he said, "and these people
have been seen several tlmfls In Dun

in some suspicions action. It is quite
evident this carries no importance In
this case."
