(Reuter's Special Service).

London, Apr. 4. Has the baby son, of Colonel and Mrs. Charles Lindbergh been smuggled to England?.

This is the theory on which the American police are now working. and a prominent police official landed in England yesterday to pursue enquiries, though he is proving almost as clusive from a newspaperman's viewpoint as the baby itself.

The visitor is Charles Schooffel, the New Jersey Assistant Chief of Palico and it is known that he has come in connexion with the Lind- bergh baby kidnapping.

Scotland Yard officially admits that he has been there and con- versed with Lord Trenchard and lother officials.

It is stated that the New Jersey police are working on a theory that the kidnappers took the Lind- bergh child to Canada, boarded n liner and landed at Liverpool.
