(Received Friday, 11.45 a.m.) VANCOUVER, Thursday. A message from Trenton, New Jersey, states that the Governor, Mr Harry Moots, late on Thursday said that lie had been informed by Colonel H. Norman Schwarzkopf, of the State police, that the Lindbergh baby was found dead near the Lindbergh estate at Hopewell, New Jersey. Colonel Schwarzkopf informed the Governor that the body had been found by neighbours near the Lindbergh home. ' {A New York cable on 2nd March stated:—“The 19-months-old son of Charles and Mrs Lindbergh was from his home at Hopewell; New Jersey, to-night. The baby was put in to bed in the nursery at the usual hour. Two and a-half hours later he had disappeared. Mrs LindoengF discovered that the child was gonJvat about 10 p.m. The nursery window was open. A frantic search of the house and grounds failed to reveal any trace, whereupon the police were notified. A search was immediately extended through New York and Pennsylvania, and undoubtedly will extend throughout the Eastern States unless the baby Is found by morning. It is assumed" that the kidnappers, if they escape detection, will demand an enormous ransom. On the window-sill •of the baby’s room a note was found. Its contents are not divulged, but it is believed it contained' a demand for ransom.” A later message stated that the Lindberghs paid the ransom demanded, but the child was not- forthcoming.)
