Never before since the world began
has the interest of so many persons
been focused upon a single individual,
and that individual a child less ^an
two years old. The kidnapping of
Charles Augustus Lindbergh, Jr.,
from his crib in the country home of
his parents, the famous flier and
“Anne,” on the slope of Sourland
mountain near HopewMl, N.i J., in
stantly crowded all other pews off the
front pages of the press of the-entire
world. Thel trouble between Chin^a and
Japan, the v^lly important activities
in Washington looking toward the re
vival of busihess and industry, every
other kind of news which ordinarily
takes first place was relegated to the
background.
The only thing people all over the
world wanted to know was: “Has the
Lindbergh baby been found?”
Presidents and kings telegraphed
their sympathy to the stricken young
parents. Nurse-girls in Paris and Lon
don, mothers in San Francisco and
Berlin and Tokyo, every-human being
charged with responsibility for a
child, felt^a new feai? guarded the lit
tle ones as they had never been guard
ed before and joined in the World-wide
prayers foT the safe return of the lit
tle son of the “Lone Eagle.” The po
lice resources of the nation were mobi
lized with a single purpose, the dis
covery of the child and the capture
and punishment of his kidnappers. In
congress a bill to make kidnapping
across inter-state lines a federal of
fense punishable by death was al
ready under consideration, and its dis
cussion took precedence over meas
ures of the greatest economic import.

legalistic minds could find it in their
hearts to criticize. The kidnapping of
a little child is the foulest offense
against society and the individual that
it is possible to imagine, and its per
petrators deserve the worst punish
ment ihat society has power to mete
out; but of greater importance thaa
the punishment of the criminal is the
lift and safety of the child itself. So
the Lindberghs felt, and the world
agreed with them.
Kidnapping for reward is a form of
ciim^ which has become increasingly
prevalent with .fhe rise of gangsters^
and racketeers in recent years. There
have been many scattered instances
of this crime in the past, to .be sur^,
but it is only lately'that organized
crimmal gangs have made it a source
of rtwenue on a large scale. It is one
of the easiest of all crimes fco perpe
trate, whether the victim be a child
or an adult, and the deteition of the
kidnappers and the rescue of the per
son kidnapped is peculiarly difficult
because of the danger that the crimi
nals, if cornered, may kill theiF vic
tim, or leave him or her locked up to
starve while they make their escape.
Probably the most famous child kid
napping case of all time, certainly in
the United S^tates, before' the abduc
tion of little Charlie Lindbergh, wasi
the kidnapping of Charlie Rpss. That
occurred on July 1, 1874, and the my.:-|^'
tery of the little boy’s fate has never
been satisfactorily solved. Charlie
Ross was four years old when he was
taken from his parents’ home in (Jer-
mantown, Pennsylvania, by tvso men.
His captors were seen but never ac
curately identified. They tried to ex
tort jcgnsomirpm-the boy’s parents,^
but were never clever enough to de
vise a £lan whereby the money they
That was a clear case of kidnapp.ng
for money. Human nature being A/hat
it is, anTl differing little today from
what it was thousands of years agi>,
it is certain that there will l>e kidnap
pings in the future, as in the pa.st. But
whi’e society cannot protect itself
against the individual, occasional of
fense of this kind, it certainly seems
us if something could be done to wipe
out the criminal gangs who make a'
business of this most vile of all
ation in centralization on a national
scale. ♦
