The other waa John H. Curtli, one
of three Norfolk, Va., "Intermedia

sent him Into the coaatal watera near
Long Ialand where, It waa hinted,
contact waa to be made with the kid
napers. "Theee men are being questioned
now, and will be questioned later In
the day by the prosecutor," aald Col.
Norman Schwarzkopf, head of the
atete police. They are not, however,
under arrest.

Discovery of the child's skeleton
waa made by fWUllam Allen, negro
truckman. In his truck, driving the
Hopewell-Mount Rose highway, be
had halted, and left It to enter the
woods.
Brush and undergrowth blocked his
path. He stooped and pushed It
aside.
Beneath the brush, underneath a
layer of rotting leaves, lay the body
of Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.,
only child of Anne, daughter of the
late Senator Dwlght W. Morrow, and
Charles Lindbergh.
Clinging to tie decomposed body
waa weather-worn flannel that had
kept the baby warm that night of
March 1 when his nurse tucked him
Into his crib. These shreds of baby
clothing were Identification enough;
these, and the matted, curly hair.
Lid Off on Hunt
Today, a horror-kindled Inoentlve
drove forces of the law to unrestrain
ed hunt for the murderer. The leases
of secrecy and of fear for the baby'a
safety no longer held. It was no
longer necessary to exercise extreme
care. Murder had been done.
A compound fracture of the skull
caused death. The murder evidently
waa done very soon after the kid
naping, probably within an hour. A
mad man, apparently, muscled either
by an Intense hatred or an overpow
ering fear, atruck the child dead,
Physicians described It as a "ter
rific" blow.
No weapon has been found. There
was added possibility the baby had
been hurled violently from a motor
car.
police Identify Body
State police of New Jersey, who
nave been In direct chargte of the
search for the baby slnoe the night.
78 days ago, when the voice of Col.
Lindbergh over a telephone ssld: "My
baby has been kidnaped," made -be
Identification of the body. A phy
sician added confirmation. Later Miss
Betty Oow, the baby's nurse, said
he was "quite certain" the body was
that of the Lindbergh child.
. The parenta themselves remained
completely in the background mhlle
their greatest tragedy was helng writ
ten In black headlines around the
world.
Mrs. Lindbergh and her mother,
Mrs. Dwlght Morrow, were at the
Hopewell estate. Colonel LIuuMrgh
was absent, engaged In the baby hunt
with Curtis, the Norfolk "Interme
diary.' He returned early thla morn
ing. ' Mother Remains Calm
Close friends said Mrs. Lindbergh
who Is preparing for another baby
In the late summer, had accepted
the news with- her "usual equanam
Jy." One of the strange weird Jests of
the horror that for It daya had
turned the Bonrland estate of the
Lindberghs Into a tragic heartbreak
house was the discovery of the body
virtually at Its doorstep.
Running through the rush -grown
land, and passing within 76 feet of
the baby'a burial place, Is a telephone
wire. It was strung hurriedly, to
carry to the world news of the bsby
hunt and 1U elicited messages of
hope, of new clues, of Importent
discoveries passed hardly more than
whisper distance from the object of
the hunt.
The spot where the body was found
Is thick-grown scrub. The brush now
Is heavy-leaved. Infilled with a heavy
grass. The dead leaves of a happier
autumn form a patch carpet over the
ground.
Shortly after S o'clock yesterday
afternoon a truck hauling tlmbera
to be used In a moving Job stopped
beside the road. Allen left the truck
and went Into ths brush.
Rorrlfled at what he saw Allen ran
back to the road and cnlled Orvllle
Wilson. When Wilson viewed the
body he aald:
"What are you going to dor"
Allen aald:
"I am going to notify the state
police."
Body Hastily Conrealel.
The police found the ahallow grave
on a alight alope. The body had
been concealed with leaves, dirt and
brush. Ths child's form lay face
down, and the depression In which
It rested was so slight as to Indicate
that elforts to conceal It had been
very hurried.
County Physician Charles Mitchell
examined the body.
"The baby was struck a fearful
blow on ths head." he said, "The
skull was fractured clear across
the top. There Is hole over
the right ear. The lower left
leg Is nilMlng."
State police took charge of the
body and the Lindberghs were noti
fied. The press snnounoement gave
only briefest details. No word was
forthcoming during ths night from
the parents.
Intermediaries Hllent,
Efforts to get ti.e "intermediaries"
to comment were without result.
There were a number of them, some
endorsed by Co Lindbergh and
others acting upon their own Initia
tive. The most active were Dr.
Condon of New York and Curtis,
the Norfolk shipbuilder. Others
were Morris Rosner mystery man
with connections dipping Into the
underworld Salvy Spltile and Irv
ing Bltz also presumed to have the
confidence of gang members and
Oaston B. Means, acting as the agent
of Mrs. Edward B. McLean. Private
detectives and newspapers also wore
active In separate searches.
All these "Intermediaries" have
moved like secret shadows through
the weeks of Investigation. They ex-
plained that any other course would
endanger the life of the child. It
waa thla secrecy that made possible
the $50,000 "Jafsle" hoax by which
that sum was paid to a man near
Yonken. N. Y., cemetery on the
man's promise to roturn the child.
Go-Betwrens Active.
The Norfolk Intermediaries Cur
tis and two asaocls tee were even
more active than "Jafsle." employ
ing airplanes, yachts and fast mo
torcars In negotiations that ran up
and down the Atlantic seaboard
and out to sea. Col. Lindbergh him
self participated in these negotia
tions as recently as yesterday, it
was learned.
Authorities understood that at
the moment the body waa discovered,
the aviator waa aeeklng to contact
the kidnapers somewhere off Long
Island.
Mrs. McLean, the Washington wo
man who. acting Independently, put
up $100,000 In an effort to return
the child to his parents, and wno
now charges Oaston B. Means, her
agent, appropriated the money to
his own use, declined to be quoted.
Her attorney aald she waa greatly
shooked and grieved.
Ltndy to Aid llnnt.
Neither parent had viewed the
body up to an early hour today,
so far as could be learned; however,
an automobile having Col, Lindbergh
as one of Its passengers, arrived at
the Hopewell estate at S a. m. The
flier was ready to lend his active
aupport to the hunt for the mur
derer of his child.
Ths announcement that Dr. Con
don ("Jafsle") and Curtis had been
summoned to police headquarters
at Trenton and that they were to
be turned over to "prosecuting au
thorltles," was ths first definite in
dlcstlon that polios finally ware
ready to throw aside their "hsnds
off" policy concerning private nego
tiations and demand from the inter
medlarlea a full account of their
actions and of the Information upon
which they have been acting.
' Parenta safeguarded.
Authorities were still exercising
extraordinary precautlona to aafe
guard ths feelings of the parents.
Questions seeking to determine how
the news had affected Mr. and Mrs
Lindbergh and what plana they may
have made toward bringing the at-ductor-klller
to Justice were not
anawered.
No announcement was msde of
burial plans.
The report of the autopsy, per
formed by Dr. Mitchell, county
physician, was gruesome In de
tail. In addition to the lower
left leg, other parts of the body
were missing, due presumably to
decomposition, hastened by ex
posure. The left hand and right
rorearm were gone, as were some
abdominal organs. The conclu
sion reached by the physician,
however, was without equivoca
tion. He said: "lllagnoslt of
the cause of death Is a frac
tured sknll, due to external vio
lence." World Wide Sympathy,
Expressions of sympathy cams from
every corner of the world; from
