Irenton, N. J,. May 13.—Two heavy blows on the head ended the life of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., the official autopsy by Dr. Charles A Mitchell .county physician disclosed last night.

But Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh were determined that he should not be handicapped in life by too much publicity. There were few pictures of him at first only some snapshots taken by his father—in the files of news paper offices.

So Charles Augustus, jr., played within the seclusion of the Morrow and Lindbergh homes; took his first tottering steps far removed from the world which was always eager for word of him. Only on rare occasions was there news of the golden-haired child. One such oc casion was when his father arid mother left him in the care of his grandparents and nurse while they flew away across the Northern Pac ific to China.
