Says Jewel Thief Is Not Man Who

in Bronx.
BY the Associated Press.

NEWARK, N j., November 2.-Dr.
John F. Condor, the "Jafsie" of the
Lindbergh kidnapping case, visited police
headquarters today and failed to identi-
fly Arthur Barry, jewel thief, captured
in Sussex County 10 days ago.
Barry. who has been held here on
the possibility that he might have had
some connection with the kidnapping,
was placed in lineup with several de-
tectives. DR.. Condor looked at the men
and said he knew none of them. When
Barry was pointed out to him. he said
he had never seen him before.
THE man gave the money to-" said
DR.. Condor, referring to the payment
of the $4,000 ransom money outside a
Bronx cemetery, was much taller"
He looked at Barry's hands.
Those are not his hands" he said.
"I saw his hands as handed him the
money, and received receipt which is
now in Col. Lindbergh's possession.
Barry looked relieved.
"Dr. Condon," he said, II want to
thank you You could have dropped a
big lemon into my lap right now, and
you didn't. want to repeat again that
I know nothing of the Lindbergh case. :"
The two men chatted for few min
utes. DR.. Condor asked Barry If he
had a mother and if he ever thought
of her. And just about this time Mrs.
Anna Blake Barry, wife of the prisoner,
walked in. She, too, spoke briefly with
DR.. Condor, who waited few minutes
and then left.

COtwals Defeated
Opposing Cupola
For Taft School
Civilian Commissioners
Outvote Engineer on
Economy Issue.

The two civilian District Commls-
sioners today outvoted Engineer Com
missioner John c. GotWals and ordered
the much disputed cupola restored TO
the Taft Junior High School at Eight
eenth and Otis streets northeast.
Maj. Gotwas had ordered the cupola
deleted on the ground of economy, as
it would cost $3.50 less to build the
school without this architectural en-
bellishment. Gotwals' action came
after the Fine Arts Commission and
the Board OF Education had approved
the design of the school including the
cupola and the Burroughs Citizens
Association began a fight to save the
cupola. They were given hearings be-
fore both the Board of Education and
the District Commissioners.
At the latter hearing all three Com
missioners joined in discouragln. the
project. After the meeting today Maj,
GotWals was asked if he had changed
his mind on the subject and said:
Well" he replied, the Commission
ers changed my mind for me-
Mai. Gotwals denied any congress
sional pressure had been brought to
cause this reversal and said the prin-
cipal reason debating the decision was
the fact that the design as approved
by the Fine Arts Commission included
the cupola.
Maj. Gotwals said he expected to be
criticized In Congress for the Commis-
sioners' action, but that he would stand
for it.
