Panama today honored Col. Charles A. Lindbergh as a mod- ern conquistador. From the direction of Balbos, the Spirit of St. Louils came sailing through space and settied down to earth on Campo Lindbergh, named in honor of its pilot. It had taken the fiyer a little more than four hours to span the distance of 310 miles between Panama and San Jose, Costa Rica. His face was surburned from his filghts under a tropical sun, Attired in & wrinkled blue suit, Lindbergh attended President Chiari's reception, meeting those who came from Panama City and the Canal Zone in uniforms and for- mal dress to do him honor. The re- ception was held in a room where the scenc of Balboa's landing was depicted in fresco, “He is charm- ing and we love him,” the president's wife said. 8he added that her grandson, born a few hours before the flyer's arrival, would be named Rodolfo Ramon Lindbergh De Par- edes. “It was an honor to have a grand- son born on that day,” President Chiari said. "My daughter had wished it 60.” At the presidential reception, Lind- L3 Grandse of Pasaman President " | that Hickman was sane and slways Judge Carles w’” Joked with his jatl and seemed sure of his acquittal. The presecution however, differed considerably. Deputy District Atter- ney Clifford Thoma sald be oconaid- ered the case “alr tight” and would ask the death penalty when the ac- cused dector is bdrought to trial January 27. ‘The body of Mrs. Appleby wis found trussed with caavas and twine mear the San Fernando high- way just outside the city lmits of Los Angbles the day after Christmas. Dr. McMillan steadfastly has denied that he was responsible for the wo- man's death.
