The first kidnaping resulted In the
payment of ransom of $60,000. San-
key and Alcorn had an argument
about the disposition of the money
and consequently the second kidnap
ing did not go through, the depart
ment said.
CHICAGO, Feb. 2. (AP) Verne
Sankey, described as "America's Pub
lic Enemy No. 1," has escaped tem
porarily at least a charge of partici
pation In the kidnaping of the in
fant son of. Col. Charlea A. Lind
bergh, but must face a federal court
trial for the abduction of the wealthy
Denver broker, Charles Boettcher II.
Hours of questioning by federal
agents of the stocky little former
South Dakota ranchman, apparently
failed to link him with the fatal
Lindbergh abduction, and he was
hurriedly started by train last night
for Pierre, 8. D., where he is under
indictment for the Boettcher
"snatch." .
Waives Extradition .
Sankey, who the authorities said
deserted the drab life of a ranchman
to take the more lucrative racket of
a "big time" kidnaper, apparently had
no objection to going to South Da
kota, for he waived extradition, and
was quickly on his way, carefully
guarded by five department of Jus
tice agent led by Melvfn Purvis,
chief of the department's Chicago of
fice.
A private car for the notorious bad
man and his guards, was used.
Sankey, who confessed, Purvis said,
to the 60,000 Boettcher kidnaping
as well as the $12,000 abduction of
Haskell Bohn of 6t. Paul, faced the
prospect of receiving a life term. If
he Is convicted, and there were indi
cations that the authorities were
hopeful that he would be.
"The chances for conviction In the
Boettcher case are better in South
Dakota." United States District At
torney Dwlght H. Green said, after
Sankey had been taken to the court
room of Federal Judge Johq P. Barnes
where the removal papers were signed.

The Percodripit
makes either Drip Coffee
or Percolator Coffee
Konaenae? Of eoame U Ut Vou can't use the
same kind of maker for both. Nor should you use the
same kind of coffee for both.
In a drip coffee maker, boiling water drips only once
through a coffee specially prepared to yield its flavor
quickly. In a percolator, water passes many times
through a coffee prepared to yield its flavor slowly. The
same coffee can be used for both methods, but like a
"Jack-of-all-trades" it is "master of none" neither drip
nor percolator. In one or the other, little things happen.
It's a little weak, or a little strong, or a little cloudy, or
it has a little less flavor. It's these little things that make
or mar good coffee. Be sure to use the correct coffee for
each method.
Your grocer has two Schilling Coffees,identical in flavor,
but each is specially prepared for its purpose each one
different in blend, roast and grind.
