NO PROGRESS.
SEARCH FOR LINDBERGH BABY. FORTUNE-TELLER'S CLUE. (UNITED PRF.SS ASSOCIATION—HI ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH—COPYRIGHT.! (Received March 9th. 7.30 p.m.) NEW YOUK, March 8. This is the eighth day after the kidnapping of the Lindbergh baby, and no more definite progress towards the recovery of the child seems to have been made than on the first day. There is reported an altercation between Colonel Charles Lindbergh and the police concerning surveillance by the latter over telephone messages received at the Lindbergh home. The tendency seems to be for the Lindberghs to seek a freer hand for their own efforts for the recovery of their son. Two Men Arrested. A Boston message reports: —Two •men, one of whom said he was trying to telephone to Coionel Lindbergh to tell him ho knew a man who knew where tho baby was hidden, were arrested at North Station, on the Boston and Maine railroad. A Hopewell (Now Jersey) message states rhat the D-Jwe haic revealed that they are still investigating the possibility of some member of the Lindbergh household being involved in the kidnapping of the baby. The statement of Earle Edwards, aged 40, of Derrynb, to a fellow tram Eassenger, that his father-in-law, who e said was an amateur fprtime-teller, had divulged :mpcrt>ins clues in the Lindbergh case, caused a flurry of excitement "to-day, resulting in Edwards and his newly-made friend, Samuel Black, aged 51, of (Massachusetts) being taken to police headquarters for questioning. Black quoted Edwards as saying that he should transmit tho information to Colonel Lindbergh if ha had sufficient funds. Black agreed to finance a telephone call, and Black. said Edwards was in the booth putting the calL through when the arrests were made. Edwards tolri the police that his father-in-law, Charles Boulanger, told him the baby was being held by an aged conple, and the motive of the crime was revenge, not ransom. _ The Haverhill police have been asked to check the story' with Boulanger.
