In the summer of 1930, he said, he met Miss Evelyn Neath of Chi cago while posing as Holllster at Paw Paw, Mich., and married her at Crystal Lake, Ind. There were others, too, he declared. "I tired of them enally and moved on to others." From Prescott he was sentenced to the Leavenworth penitentiary for Mann net violation.

Brooks NEW YORK (AP) The carefully laid plans of Col. Charles A. Lind bergh, which usually work to smooth conclusions, failed him when It came to his Infant son. Early last spring I went to Colonel Lindbergh's small office In the law nuite of Henry L. Breckenrldge at 25 Broadway. I wanted to consult the flier concerning his plane for the celebration of his son's first birth day. I thought that perhaps the colonel would not know exactly what he had In mind for the child, but he was quite definite. Charles A. Lindbergh, jr., was to be shielded completely from publicity. There were to be no photographs of him on his birthday, the flier de clared. He said both he and Mrs. Lindbergh had discussed the matter at length and they both felt the child should have every chance to stay out of the public eye. The colonel talked quietly, smiling as he made his point. He explained that the pressure he and his wife were under as the result of their being world wide news figures was of their own making and that they would do everything they could to keep the baby from any public at tentlon. On the birthday the Lindbergh plan worked amazingly well. There were only brief details of the celebra tion of the famous child's first an niversary. There were no photographs. So it continued. The only pictures obtained by the alert metropolitan cameramen were through the use of long :ange lenses, while the child's nurse rolled him in his carriage. Then came the kidnaping. The very boldness of the act probably was tho only chief factor which carried it to success and enabled the kidnapers to get the child from the house. The servants and nurse at the Lindbergh home never discussed the child with others, at least where their words would find a way Into print. Except for a few Intimates of the Lindbergh and Morrow families Mrs. Lindbergh was the daughter of the late Dwlght W. Morrow and Mrs. Morrow the public knew little of the child. He was reported to great ly resemble his father and to have been just learning to talk and totter around when his name became the center of a search which probably had no parallel In modern police history.
