iillifstisui “KIDNAP BASE”

Confesses To Hoax In- spired By Need 0f r Money.

(By Dale Harrison. Associated Press Staff Writer)

~ NEW YORK, Dec, 29-—The Millie "kidnap case" has fallen apart. haying drgina-loving Caleb Milne 4th a prisoner in truth instead of fancy.

The 23-year-old heir to a textile fortune confessed YBBWQBY 111B‘ his kidnapping two weeks use was a hoax irlspircd by need of money and by I. belief that resultant pub- licity would help him act o lob on the stage.

His confession, made to govern- ment agents early, was followed within a few hours by his arraign- ment on a charge of atte ted ex- tortion. He was ordered he d under bond of 87,600 for o hearing Jan. 9.

The specific charge was that Milne deposited “a letter in the United States mails demandlnif $20000."

Milne, an amateur actor who wanted to act. professionally and who also had the urge to write mystery stories—amblti0n5 which met with little success-disappear- ed two weeks ago from the modest room he and o. younger brothel" occupied hero. lie was found four days later lying bound and ensued and with one arm punctured as though by hypodermic needles- they were pin prlcks. his confession explains-beside a roadway near Doylestown Pa.

brcalistlc was young Millie's plight that he was taken hlirricdly to a hospital and kept in seclusion for many hours, his condition be- ing dcscrlbcd as "boo serious" to permit questioning.

A few hours after Milne was

found. J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the Department of Justice's Bureau of Investigation, announced at Washington: “it is definitely a kidnapping." The New York police, on the other hand, listed Milne merely as a "missing person." Their only ac- tion, following Millie's return, was to take his name off the list.

The slip in young Mtlneb 1110i lay in the manner in which he was trussad, The federal agents spent several hours havins the men who found Milne and who cut away his bonds, show tn what way Milne was bound. 'I‘l\elr demonstrations convinced. the agents that Milne oould easily have slipped from his bonds-o most. suspicious circum- stance. -

They questioned him repeatedly, but his story was well organized- Oniy gfter being retzuircd to repeat it many time: did i develop flaws, tho ants acid. Finally, in the eel-glows: of yestccdly ntornlns the youth confessed.

‘Ihese forces, ranging behind the enemy lines in comparatively small bands, are credited with having paved the way for the Pfflieclfid counter-offensive.

General Ayeie, who is leading an Ethiopian column which has beaten off a. number of Italian outposts in the mountainous shire region, near the Eritrean border, has setup a b at the recently-recaptured scatllcmenl. of Enda Sllasl.

From this point, in extreme northwestern Ethiopia, he plans to launch an offensive on Aksum, Eth- lop 's Coptic Christian holy city taken by the Italians without resist- ance early in the war.

Southeast of this force and closest to Makale is a seasoned tribal army commanded by Gen. Ayele Kabeda. Entrenched in the natural fortifica- tions afforded by the Tcmbien Mountains, Ayele Kabeda already has captured Abbi Addl, only 25 miles west-northwest of Makalc.
