Friends of Curtis Prepare Defense in Lindbergh Hoax
EXCUSES SUGGESTED
relatives Retain Norfolk
Attorney, Who Is Ex-
pected to Offer
$10,000 Bond
Hopewell, May 21 — (UP) — John Hugh Curtis' hard fight to prevent prosecution for his cruel Landbergh hooze began today with indications of a court battle that may bring him to trial. At the same time, of those hooze.

Pender, former law partner of Federer Judge Luther D. W. Way, left Norfolk is night. Curtis professed to know nothir of Pender's retention. Pender wi expected to move at once to obtain relics of Curtis on $10,000 bail.
Pender to Ask Bail
A court fight to free Curtis will be based on proof that Curtis was no guilty of giving false information or hindering the hunt for a murder or kid raping suspect, or it might be base on extinguishing circumstances.
These extinguishing circumstances have been discussed here and in Norfolk. He night alight the confession was forced by state police and that the negotiations were not resolved, with whom he is known to have associated as a speedboat builder.
May Claim Fourth Degree
It might be claimed for him the early negotiations were legitimate, that later he suspected or learned that he was dealing with fakers, that the public urged him on, and that finally a confession resulted through fear of repellion from the racketeers with whom he first died, if he "aucensured" on them.
These are all based on the assumption that "Curtis has not told all," a belief rapidly gaining strength in Norfolk and receiving some consideration here, although police say no basis for such a theory is known so them.
