PLOT DISCOVERED, PICKFAIR GUARDED Police Believe Mary Picklord Was to Be Kidnaped Beverly Hills, Cal., June 12 (UP) —Pickfair, the estate of Mary Pick- ford and Douglas Fairbanks, was under heavy guard today with the discovery of what was believed to have been a plot to kidnap the actress for ra: .om. Armed with sawed off shot guns, a police guard kept an all night vigil at the home of the two famous stars, acting on information furnish- ed to the police by H. L. Brady, after Miss Pickford had been on her first street “location” in five years. Chief of Police Blair of Beverly Hills said Brady told him he was seated in his automoblile in a down- town section of Los Angeles watch- ing Miss Pickford filming scenes for her current picture, a romance of the five and ten cent store. According to Brady, he noticed two men of dark complexion seated in a nearby sedan and overheard one of them say: “There she is. It's worth $100,000 to us. Upon noticing that Brady was watching them, the two men drove away. There was no license on the back of the car. The incident recalls the trial two years ago of C. A. Stevenp and Claude A. Holcomb, who were con- victed of plotting to kidnap Miss Pickford, Jackie Coogan, Pola Negri, and two grandchildren of E. L. Do- heny. The defendants charged they were the victims of a police *publicity frame up” but an appeal to the dis- trict court of appeals was denied and the men began serving sentences of from 10 years to life last June. A special guard will escort Miss Pickford to and from the United Ar- tists’' studio during the investigation of Brady's report. LINDY LEAVES NEW YORK CITY (Continued From First Page) courtesies extended him by the army air service at Mitchel Fleld and thanked the press for fts coopera- tion. Lindbergh appeared under the im- pression that unannounced shifts in his plans during his stay in the city had displeased reporters who had “covered” him in his four-day wel- come in New York. With characteristic diplomacy, the aviator explained the difficulties of planning his program in advance. “Oftentimes it was impossible to an- nounce our plans for any length of time,” he said. Referring to his surprise jump to Washington yesterday when he ob- “tained the Spirit of St. Louis, Lind- bergh said: “Most ‘we’ just decided and then did it. Whenever it was possible we notified you hoys.” A crowd of spectators who sought his autograph of sketches of him- selt was ordered away from the avi- ator .with the explanation that he would no no more autographing un- til he reached St. Louis. Lindbergh said he would circle over New York before pointing the nose of his plane to the west. No Stunts Attempted He sid he would not attempt any stunts over the metropolis as his plane was not bullt for stunt flying. Asked if he would return in time to bid adieu to Commander Richard E. Byrd on his forthcoming flight to Paris, the aviator said that the best thing the friends of the commander could do would be *“not to bother him” on the day of his take-off. “That's what 1 would want my friends to dp,” he added. The colonel said he had made no plans for the future beyond the wel- coming reception arranged for him at St. Louis. He became somewhat impatient as more questions were fired at him and with a wave of his hand said: “Listen, boys, I'm in a hurry to get oft.” The Lone Eagle made a perfect take-off. His engine had been tuned up and two minutes after it was wheeled out of the hanger, “The Spirit of St. Louls” raced down the bump runway at lightning speed and he arose gracefully in the air, pointed for New York city. The crowd of some 500 persons, including a number of newly gradu- ated West Point cadets, cheered wiidly, and a moment later he dis- appeared from sight. Lindbergh wore the same Paris made blue suit he has worn in his receptions in Washington and New York. As he stepped into the cock- pit of his plane he donnad his leath- er flying jacket and helmet. A suit- case with other clothes in it was aboard the plane. The growing collection of medals and gifts will be shipped to St. Louis by express. | | minutes. Three planes accompanied und-l bergh. Two of these were army ob- servation machines, in one of which rode Captain Ricord Blythe, his per- sonal representative. The third plane ‘was a Curtiss pursuit machine. Greeting in Detrolt Dayton, O., June 17 UP—When Lindbergh, the “Lone Eagle,” flies over Rayton today en route from New York to 8t. Louts, a swarm of the army's best fiiers will ascend to greet him and escort him over the 400-mile remaining distance. Dayton, called the birthplace of aviation, because it is the home of the Wright brothers, inventors of the airplane, thus has been singled out to honor one of the youngest | fliers and the one thus far most | honored. Assembled hers from Bolling | Field, Washington, D. C., and Sel-| fridge Field Michigan, are 29 of the | country's crack aviators and the| fastest group of planes on the con- | tinent. They arrived late yesterday | from Washington and New York where they have been taking part in the Lindbergh demonstrations. These planes will take the air when they are informed that Lind- bergh, flying his “Spirit of St.| Louis,” passed over Columbus 60 miles away. A score or more of ad- ditional planes from Wilbur Wright | and McCook Felds will go aloft to greet the filer, who is not scheduled to stop here. Two or three of the planes will join the official escort of 29, Lindbergh is expected to pass over Columbus between 1:30 and 2 p. m., castern standard time, arriving in Dayton half or three quarters of an hour later. He i3 expected to circle Wilbur Wright Field until the escort forms about him. The army air es- cort is to land at Scott Field, 25 miles out of St. Louis, but Lind- bergh and, if possible, planes carry- ing three newspaper correspondents are to land at Lambert Field in St. Lous. Last Sight for New York New York, June 17 ® — New York city got its last glimpse of Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh about 8:30 a. m. today when the Viking| of the Air circled over the lower | section of the city from Mitchel field on his way to St. Louis. Crowds in the downtown section raised & cheer. Lindbergh first ap- peared over Governor's Island and the Battery. His plane, high in the air, swooped over city hall and then shot toward the Jersey shore. Lindbergh received a large crayon portrait of himself just before he left his apartment for Mitchel field this morning from Thomas Julian- €ill, 21 years old, of Union Hill, N. J 1 Julianelll managed to enter the apartment as the aviator was dress- ing and presented him the drawing. “Gee, that's great” the airman told the young artist. “My mother wx{} be tickled to death with that. I%vill have it sent to her right away.” The flier gave his visitor an au- tographed photograph of himself. Lindbergh left his apartment at 6:40 a. m, in an automobile for Mitchel fleld, Long Island. to hop oft in his plane for St. Louis. He arrived at Mitchel fleld at 7:20 8. m, and went immediately to the quarters of Colonel Benjamin D. Foulols, commandant at the field, for breakfast. The cavalcade of automobiles with its police es- cort made the trlp from Lind- bergh's apartment at Park avenuc and 47th street, New York, in 40 Sleepless for 36 Hours A strenuous four-day entertain- ment for Colonel Lindbergh ended for him in time to get a little sleep prior to a return home to St. Louis with the other member of his flying firm of “‘we.” Sleepless for thirty-six hours, dur- ing which he buried evening clothes | beneath a solled flying suit for a surprise trip to Washington and re- union with the Spirit of St. Louis— the inanimate partner of the re- nowned combination of “we”—Lind- bergh was whirled about three, boroughs of the city to receive his final honors. He retired at midnight to secure a few nours sleep before his 900 mile flight to St. Louls, the home of the men who financed his $25,000 expedition across the Atlantic. . Got Four Medals In his final and second busiest day in New York, the flying colonel | received four medals, bringing his| total decorations to twenty-one, and the $25,000 prize awarded by Ray- | mond Orteig for the first non-stop air flight from New York to Paris. Colonel Lindbergh on his return ! from Washington with the Spirit of | St. Louis, ran the plane down Roosc- velt fleld in a sentimehtal farewell ! gesture to the spot where he started his great flight, cruised into the air again and landed at Mitchel field to begin the final events of his| program. After a trlumphant parade over a 20 mile course, during which 200,- 000 school children sounded their | greeting in enthusiastic treble, the youthful flier recelved a medal from the borough at brief ceremonies at Prospect park. He thanked all New York for its welcome, in a brief address at a luncheon at the Knights of Colum- bus club house in Brooklyn, and was then whirled to Roosevelt field to be the guest of honor at a Nassau county celebration. While thousands 100ked on and| cheered, the colonel received a med- al from the Nassau county Spanish ‘War Veterans and the Veterans of Forelgn Wars.
