Sankey Questioned Over Lindbergh Kidnapping Link
Chicago Feb 1 U P crack Justice Department agents questioned Verne Sankey intensely as they seek ties to the Lindbergh kidnapping. The South Dakota rancher, captured yesterday, faced rigid rounds of questioning in a room with Melvin Purvis present, while files from the Lindbergh case were opened. Authorities checked $3,000 in bills found with Sankey against ransom money from other abductions and noted he had confessed to Boettcher and Bohn cases. Extradition papers from Minnesota were signed, but Purvis said questioning would continue before any request is considered.
