Another twenty-four hours have passed with the Lindbergh baby still not found. Officials conducting the search . declare that they are making "progress," but no specific information of any kind is available. A Boston message reports: The Mayor, Mr James Curley, to-day said he was reliably informed that the Lindbergh baby had been returned to its parents on Sunday night, and the information withheld from tho police. The Mayor, answering queries arising as the result of persistent rumours, said his informant was a New York broker, whom he declined to name. The broker, he said, was informed by an insurance man, whose name he also withheld. Mr Curley said ho was informed that the baby was returned to its home after the parents had made an agreement with tho kidnappers not to notify tho police for 72 hours. An Englewood (New Jersey) message states that a member of the Morrow household, who said she was authorised to speak for Mrs Dwiglit Morrow (Mrs Lindbergh's mother), denied the report that tho baby had been returned. Tho police at tho Lindbergh home at Hopewell (New Jersey) state flatly today that the baby was not in either tho Lindbergh or the Morrow homes, and said they knew nothing of the report that the .child had been returned.
