PAGE NINE CHIEF OF POLICE IS UNEXCiTED BY Santa Coming in Tiny Auto OF BROTH WELLEN DISTRICT TAKEN BY DEATH DETECTIVE'S VIEW Main and Bartlett MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935. LUMAN (Continued from Page One.) ' toll a guilty man when I see one, wu called Into the case by former Gov. A. Harry Moore, of New Jersey, and has been working on It since. Gov. Hoffman disclosed. Moore was governor when the kid naping occurred. The New York Daily News said to day an anonymous letter indicating a possibility that Hauptmann la Inno cent of slaying Charles A. Lindbergh's kidnaped son is the center of a new Investigation of the crime. The letter Is being studied by Parker, the News said. It reported that he, too. has visited Hauptmann In the prison at Trenton. N. J. Parker, the News says, Is studying a theory that the baby was not killed the night of the kidnaping, March 1. 1932, but died later. Letter One of Many The letter, one of hundreds mailed to officials shortly after the kidnap ing, was postmarked at Buffalo 10 days after the crime. It was delivered to the police chief at Trenton. Parker takes the view, the News says, that the man who wrote It was the man who stole the child. The most sifnif leant sentence in it said: "Follow the Lindbergh telephone wires and you will find the baby and three fellows." The child's body was found May 12, 1932. about 60 feet from temporary telephone wires installed at Lind bergh's Hopewell estate two days after the abduction. Got Cold Feet "I got cold feet," the News quoted from the letter. "We all thought we could make some easy money. We got a place near Elizabeth, N. J., and one of the fellows who was pretty smart runs a wire to this place and listened to everything the Lindbergh people say " It said the "Lindbergh baby is taken very good care of and 1b feeling fine when I left the fellows only It cries too much and the fellows are afraid someone will hear it. Nobody will hurt it because they all like it. The baby has lots of toys and a am all black dog." Parker, the News says, takes the view that much of the letter waa the inaccurate raving of a demented man. but that the reference to the tele phone wires was a worth-while clue.
