INS. Edward C. Pender, counsel for John Hughes Curtis, indicated today what line of defense the Norfolk shin builder, who hoaxed Col. Lindbergh, would take when he accused state police of obtaining Curtis' confession by trickery. Meanwhile, Prosecutor Anthony M.

Hauck, was going ahead with his plans to lay evidence before the grand jury this afternoon or tomorrow against Curtis for "activities calculated to obstruct he administration of justice. "Curtis has told me," Pender said, "that he was tricked into that confession by Inspector Harry Walsh, who himself wrote the confession. That is obvious, for Curtis never used the kind of English which it contained. "Curtis was actually in touch with those kidnapers," Pender continued. "He told me he could turn them up within a week if given 91,500 money and a body guard.

Pender also made the startling announcement that both he and Curtis believed the Lindbergh baby was still alive and that the body found two weeks ago and identified by Col. Lindbergh, Betty Gow and physicians as the kidnaped child, was in fact not the Lindbergh baby. Pender indicated Curtis would repudiate his confession if his case came to trial, but he expressed the hope that Lindbergh would not prosecute the Norfolk man, Curtis now insists that his first statements were true in every detail and that he actually had been in contact with (Continued on Page Two) MAPLE STREET MAN SLIGHTLY INJURED Samuel E.

Curtis, Norfolk, bogus negotiator now in Flem-ington, N. jail on charges of supplying false information to the authorities. The Hunterdon County grand jury will meet today, and an indictment will be sought against the southern, boatbuilder who confessed to inventing the fantastic details of his supposed attempts to establish contact with the kidnapers.

There was a chance, however, the proceedings against Curtis would be dropped. W. C. Pender, Norfolk lawyer, representing Curtis, declared if his client were tried Col. Charles A.

Lindbergh would be called as a witness. Lindbergh was reported un inclined to appear against Curtis, his major reason his belief the move against Curtis, with nossible dis closures at the formal proceedings might interfere with the paramount search for the kidnapers. The only direct new clue to the kidnapers today appeared to be the pursuit of a "known gangster" who told a Maryland official two days before the baby's body was found the child had been slain and buried within five miles of the Lindbergh estate of Saurland Mountain.
