LINDBERGH BABY

Search For Killers LYNCHING TALKED OF REWARD OF 100,000 DOLLARS NEW YORK, May 14. With Mr Hoover and Washington ordering all Federal secret service agencies to "make tho kidnapping and murder of the Lindbergh baby a live and never-to-be-forgotten case until the criminals implicated arc brought to justice,” New Jersey officials have started organising tho greatest man hunt, in history, with offers of the coperation of law enforcement agencies throughout tho United States pouring in.

Meanwhile Colonel Lindbergh visited the morgue at Trenton and identified the body and ordered its cremation. Mrs Lindbergh remained in seclusion with her mother and friends.

Public indignation remains at a high pitch. The press and public officials are demanding tho sternest action. Many citizens at Hopewell are openly advocating lynching if the murderers are captured. A joint resolution introduced into the House provides a reward of 100,000 dollars for information leading to the arrest of the kidnappers. Seventy-five coastguard vessels and six destroyers are patrolling tho Atlantic coast in search of a boat believed to bo carrying either kidnappers or a group of criminals who were trying to .extort a further large sum of money from Colonel Lindbergh and with whom tho colonel was attempting to make contact at tho time the body of the baby was found. PAYMENT OF RANSOM MONEY TRENTON, May 13. Tho "Trenton Timos” said to-day that Prosecutor Erwin Marshall, in conference on Thursday midnight with Dr. John F.

Tho sleeping suit, Dr Condon said, is in the possession of Colonel Lindbergh.
