HEADLINE: NO DEVELOPMENTS IN LINDBERGH CASE


Suspect is Unable to Furnish $25,000 Bond


Although the Lindbergh kidnapping--murder, was chosen the top Minnesota news story of 1955, there was been nothing of any consequence relative to the case for the past two weeks.


Since December 18, when several Thief River Falls residents attended a police show up at the Hennepin County jail to look over a suspect who had been picked up by the FBI, no information has been given out on the case by the authorities.


Being held in Lieu of $25, 0000 bail for a hearing before the Federal Grand Jury, which meets late in January, is James P. Taylor, 30, of Detroit, Michigan who was apprehended in Joplin, Missouri by the FBI on December 8.


Both the Associated Press and the United Press picked the Lindbergh case in choosing their top ten new stories of the year. Both also named the Mary Moonen murder with the subsequent trial of Dr. Arnold Axilrod as next to the top. Mrs. Moonen was formerly a resident of this city.
