Norman Schwarckopf on the suicide' of Violet Sharpe, Morrow waitress, was as follows: "Violet Sharpe, waitress at the Morrow home, Englewood, has been under constant suspicion and In vestigation by the Investigating au thorltles since she was first inter viewed in Englewocd, in the early days of the kidnaping case, because she gave conflicting statements at to her whereabouts on the night Of the kidnaping and because she re fused to reveal the identity of the man she went out with that night She also refused to reveal the place visited on their trip that night "It has since been found that she was in communication by telephone with this man at 1 o'clock In the afternoon, March 1.

She knew that the Lindbergh family expected to remain in HopewelL Violet Sharpe has been Interviewed a number ox times and while she was being in tervlcwed at Hopewell all of her personal efforts were confiscated during a thorough search that was made of her room. "Among these effects a number of names and addresses were found, each of which have been under in vestigation. "Since the headquarters of the in vestigation were moved from Hopewell to Trenton, a detail consisting of Inspector Walsh. Jersey City police, Sergeant Moll att, of the Newark police, Lieut. Keaton and Corporal Horn, of the New Jersey state police, have been at Alpine with particular instructions to con tinue the investigation oi vioiet Sharpe.

"In the continuance of this in vestigation pictures of her associates were sought and yesterday morning she was shown the picture of a man and she identified him as the man with whom she had been on the night of the kidnaping and the man who had called her on the telephone at 1 o'clock in the afternoon of the day of the kidnaping. Her Highly Nervous State. At the time of this identification she was in a highly nervous condi tion and gave unsatisfactory responses to questions as to her rea sons for concealing ths Identity of her associates. 'Because of her highly nervous condition it was decided not to question her further without the presence of a physician. Arrangements were made to question her at Alpine station of the state police this morning in the presence of a physician.

When the investigators went to the Morrow residence to get her for the purpose of bringing her to Alpine they made their presence known to Mr. Springer who telephoned the house and asked Violet Sharpe to get ready. Violet Sharpe went to her room, came down to the pantry and dropped on the floor in what appeared to be a faint A doctor was sent for and upon his arrival he pronounced her dead. Inspector Walsh, Sergeant Mof- fatt, Lieutenant Keaten, Detective Horn and Chief Charles A. Peterson, of Englewood, who was immediately called, when it was found Violet Sharpe was dead, started an Immediate investigation by making a thorough examination of her room.

In her room was found a can of cyanide of potassium chloride crystals and a glass still wet containing one or more of these crystals. The can was marked At about this time the coroner ar rived and on the basis of his findings stated he considered It suicide and he made arrangements with the county physician for an autopsy. No report has been received as yet of the findings of the autopsy. "The suicide of Violet Sharpe strongly tends to confirm the suspicions of the investigating authori ties concerning her guilty knowledge of the -crime against Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr.

The investigation is being vigorously continued In an effort to locate Ernest Brlnkert." which have come to our office. Any one of those might have been the one to bring about the baby or arrest. For that reason all of them had to be run to the ground for fear a mistake might have been made.

Tor that reason all of us have been busy and tired, particularly because of our other unusually hard work. "We are glad the case is coming to an end because we have been told that the troopers under Col. Schwartzkopf and detectives of Newark and Jersey City are certain of Brlnkert as the guilty man." Detective James Mahoney, of the Englewood police department, said Miss Sharp was a stranger to the members of his department and had slight friendship with any of the servants throughout the town. She was a frequenter of the movies In Englewood and New York city, but sne was never known to be seen with many men. In fact, her quiet manner caused no one to observe the During one of the many meetings outside the barracks, at which time the state police head answered some of the many questions asked, it was asxea wny Brlnkert name was mentioned, knowing the newspapers wou'd broadcast it.

The colonel merely smiled, and then came the suggestion that Brlnkert tad al ready been placed. That was shortly before 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon, but it was lata last night when the arrest was announced.

In the general, alarm police asked for the arrest of Brlnkert on signt, They gave the number of his automobile as NT-EV-1983, and said he had a police record for larceny in New York state.

Refused to Tell In the early examination of Miss Sharp she refused to tell where she had been on the night of the crime She wouldn't talk about ft telephone call she had early in the afternoon. She wouldn't reveal the name of the man she went out with. And rise-far as she did talk, her statements were conflicting. Police said nothing.

In fact Miss Sharp's name was never mentioned in published reports about the case, But they concentrated all their efforts on breaking down her defiant Yesterday they began to break through. They brought her pictures of men whose names had been found in her room. She pointed to the picture of Brlnkert He, she ssid, was the man she had talked to on the telephone; he was the man she had gone out with that night Although for the first time be was at last beginning to tell what the police wanted to know the examination had to be interrupted. For she was so nervous that her questioners feared to press her fur ther except with a doctor In atten dance. And so the questioning was put over until today.

Shortly before noon the police went to the Morrow home and told Charles Springer, secretary ot the late Senator Morrow, to hare the maid prepare herself for further examination. 1 Long Under Suspicion. As police disclosed today that their suspicions of Miss Sharp go back almost to the day of the kidnaping Itself it was supposed that she had been under constant and strict surveillance ever since, to all intent a prisoner in the Morrow home. And yet somehow she got the can of poison crystals, to hold against tne day when her resistance might be gone. She must have obtained it after the kidnaping, although It Is a substance sold only at a doctor's prescription, or else she had it hidden before the child, was taken, and hidden it so securely that not even the thorough police search of her room disclosed it.

After the suicide, Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, superintendent of state police, broadcast a general alarm for Brlnkert and Miss Sharp's sister. Brlnkert, he said, had a police record Including two arrests and one penitentiary term. The nrst arrest was on Oct.

31. 1922, in Westchester county for petty larceny. No disposition of the case is on the records. On April 17, IMS, he waa convicted at white Plains for assault and sent, to the county penitentiary. ureea laacn car.

Large in which women predominated, shrieked cheers for the -Free State president, shouted tjp. hissed J. H. Thomas, the British dominions secretary, and blocked traffic by crowding around De Valera's automobile.

Some of the demonstrators waved the Free States green, gold and white flags. I The demonstrators, who made up in lung power what they lacked in numbers, followed De Valera and his party all day, cheering wildly on every occasion, but It was after the failure of the conference had been announced that they created the. greatest demonstration. Once they rushed past police, who were powerless to halt them and again thfey locked the street while De Valera stood to raise his hat and smile In acknowledgement Boo Thomas. At Euston station, where the bodyguard which hid surrounded De Valera throughout his stay In Britain, was assisting him to the train, the crowd renewed Its cheers until Thomas appeared, when the shouts changed to boos.

Emory S. Land, a relative of Lindbergh, and Robert F. Fleming, real estate man from Edgemoor, who said he arranged the appointment be tween col Guggenheim and Means.

"I motored to Hopewell March 6 the day of the big blizzard," Captain Land said, "and came back that night. I reported that I had received permission and next saw Means March 16 when he said that delivery had failed and gave the storm as a reason.
