A message from Englewood (New Jersey) states that a member of the Morrow household, who said that she was authorized ‘o speak for Mrs Dwight Morrow, denied the report that the baby had been returned.

A message from Trenton states that the New Jersey State police have now completely eliminated Betty Gow, the nursemaid of the kidnapped child, from further consideration in their investigations.
