Atty-Gen Wilcott and Col Schwarnkopf met at Perth Amboy to discuss Gov Hoffman’s reprieve for Bruno Hauptmann. They agreed no public controversy over theory or evidence would help, and further action would wait for new proof. Defense leaders denied reports of evidence or letters pressuring cases. Governor Hoffman shifted briefly to Newark to brief President Roosevelt on relief issues and denied police guards or confidential letters targeting him.

Theory Renegade Indians Kidnaped Lad Entertained
Four year old Roy Rogers vanished near the Guadalupe mountains near the Mexican border as trackers aviators and soldiers hunted for him. Natives reported Apache bands crossing the boundary to the L. W. McDonald ranch where he disappeared last Wednesday. Authorities doubted kidnapping and considered a fall or exposure in rugged canyons. The boy, son of Ira and Mrs. Rogers, wore only a thin wool garment and overalls. Army planes from March Field joined the search along with Indian scouts from Fort Huachuca and soldiers from a Federal transient camp. A bloodhound trail yielded only a safety pin and a hair fragment about three miles from the ranch.
