NEW YQEK, 6th March.

From, dawn oil Sunday morning, to sundown remarkable psychological aspects of the kidnapping of the 19----nionths-old son of Colonel Charles Lindbergh and Mrs. Lindbergh, such as must impress foreign observers aw"ay from the scene, continued ta accumulate. •

On the, one liand there was. a ferocx- ; ous. man.-hunfc by the polite which pex.slsted in. rural and urban, areas in. one of tke worst shoto and. rainstorms, aver to grip the eastern, section, of. the United States. Dripping and half-frozen. ofiLeera tramped over miry fields, or con.tiaued house-to-house visits. On. the; other hand,, in Hopaw.ell itself every variety of crank, seemed to have gathered. One' woman, persisted in halving visions in. the telegraph offices... Hardy curiosity-seekers, almost frustrated the State troopers,' efforts 'to. keep them from getting to. the Lindberghestate- For miles along, the 1 roads there, are. the ditched automobiles of those, who failed to. negotiate, the al- ; most impassable roads. SaLvatora Spitale,, the. underworld mr termediary,, haa made the fbllowing statement:.'"When first, approached, in' this matter by a representative of tlie Lindberghs: I. said I. would not like to haver my name dragged into- such a.delicate, situation, but if I could help, in any way to get back the child I would take any sacrifice upon, myself to that end. I therefore ask whoever, haa the child, to; communicate:: with me at. the earliest- possible opportunity.. Nothing ia the. world would have brought me into* this were I not a father myself and if I. had not known, that this baby is nofe only the child, of the Lindherghs but the- child, of America.'* ANOTHER MYSTEEF. ; A message., from. Hopewel4 NVsr Jersey, says that what led the Lindberghs to establish am underworld- contact in the search for their kidnapped baby and what, result, if any, was- achieved, was as much a mystery late, oil'- Sunday night as the wneresbOTits of the- infant. A story that the kidnappers and the baby flew: over the Lindbergh estate in ah aeroplane on Saturday with the indention: of dropping^ the1 child in a parachute but losfe their nerve, was told, ta ■ the police oil Sunday night, by Annette Corbett,. a young, woman of Philadelphia, who was arrested as she stepped from a buß at Trenton. She told: the police that she had "the. dope" oje the case, but would not. tell it to anyone but Cbtanel Lindbergh. " ' . A message from Newark, New Jersey, states that after questioning- two men all' Sunday night the. deputy chief of • police announced today that the police "would eontinu© to hold Henry Johnson, a friendl of Betty €fow,. -the nursemaid 'to' the kidnapped baby.; They- would, however, not hold Jbhansenv Junge,.a friend of. Johnson, who- was detained on^ Sunday- night, when located, im Engla;wood. The police, have, been informed that Junge; was with. Johnson on the night of the kidnapping.
