WHO RECEIVED RANSOM PAID
 BY LINDbERCH?
Sha a dowy Form Behind Cemetery Wall Remains
 to Be Identified

NEW YORK, May l3-Who got the $50,000 ransom Jafsie paid a shadowy individual in the Bronx Cemetery on the night of April when the baby's body was mould ering in the thicket?
 This is 8 question the police strove to answer today.
 Jafsie, himself retired Bronx School Principal. who before the case was plain Dr. John F. Con- don, is in seclusion.
 The token which convinced Col. Lindbergh was on the right trail is not disclosed.
 Jafsie and Col Eindbergh drove to the cemetery wall behind which a voice asked; Have you the money?"
 Dr. Condon passed a receip. over the wall to the unknown.
 Dr. Condon got the money from Col. Lindbergh and passed it over the wall and the receipt was re- turned.
 The receipt said the baby would be found on a boat off Martha'S $ Vineyard.
 Col. Lindbergh immediately flew there without results.

 Mrs. Lindbergh, according to friends, is preparing for another baby late in the summer. She accepted the information of the finding her baby son with her usual equanimity."
 Col. Lindbergh maintains his usual composure
 Crowds flocked to Hopewell from all directions Thursday afternoon and evening as the news spread that the Lindbergh baby had been found. Confusion was greater than on the night of the Kidnapping on March 1.
 State troops barred the way to the Lindbergh estate.

DISCOVERY IS MADE , MILES
 FROM ESTATE
Col. Lindbergh Absent on Contact Trip When
 Word Received

HOPEWEIL, N. J. May 13- Baby Lindbergh was brutally mur- dered. The body, hardly more than a skeleton, was found within five miles of the Lindbergh estate.
 The telephone line to the estate for the newspapermen runs within 75 feet of where the baby was found.
 Heavy Leaved Spot
 The spot is heavy leaved, filled with heavy grass and dead leaves of happier autumn, forming a patch of carpet.
 When the body was found, Col. Lindbergh was on a boat off the Jersey shore at Cape May pre- parig to make another effort to contact with the kidnappers at sea.
 Col. Lindbergh started back here as soon as the news reached hih.
 General Amusement
 The general reaction following the finding of the body was amaze ment over the fact the body of the child was found so close to the home from which it was stolen after the hunt had extended all over the world.

 WEDNESDAY BUT DETAILS HELD
Report of Grewsome Find Not Made Public Pend
 ing Identification

HOBOKEN, N J., May 13- The body of the Lindbergh baby was actually discovered Wednes- day, but information regarding the grewsome find was withheld from the press and general public until positive Identification had been made.
 Dead For Weeks
 The child had been dead for several weeks It is unanimously agreed by ivenstigators and others that the little boy was killed by his abductor or abductors on the same night he was kidnapped. The fact that the body was barely covered with earth has convinced authorities the murderer or mur- derers were frightened away be- fore they had completed inter- ment.
 Physical Violence
 The hole in the child's head, about the size of a 25-cent piece and over the right ear is con- vincing evidence that death was caused by physical violence.
 Lindbergh Brave
 Mrs. Dwight Morrow, mother of Mrs. Lindbergh, was notified inn mediately of the discovery and came without delay to the Lind bergh home. Col. Lindbergh dis played marvellous control over his emotions, displaying the same brave, stoical front that has char acterized his demeanor since the Kidnapping. Mrs. Lindbergh was placed under the care of physi- clans and will remain in their charge until the birth of the sec- ond child.
 Search Redoubled
 Every expert criminologist of Federal, State and County gov ernments who have had a part in the investigations heretofore have been summoned to redou- bled search for the kidnapers, bas- ing their renewed efforts on the slender clue afforded by the baby's body.

Enormity of Alb du C ton, Intense Search, Pictur-
 ed in Fiend's Mind

HOPEWELL, N. J., May l3.-Was Baby Lindbergh kidnapped and mur- dered by an organized gang or was he Kidnapped by an amateur for revenge or for monetary purposes?
 Since the discovery of the body of the baby. this question is on the lips of authorities and bystanders and the answer seems to be that an amateur did the daStardly crime for money he expected to obtain from Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, but when the hue and cry arose on the night of March l or early on the morning of March 2, he became panicky and killed the baby.
 That Mysterious Note
 It will be remempered that when the baby was found kidnapped from his crib in the nursrey at the Lind bergh home, note was reported found. Upon finding the note, Col. Lindbergh is reported to have seiz- ed gun and rushed out into the darkness of the night and to the woods surrounding his home. He did not return for some time, clothes soaked and bedraggled.
 Did the note tell where the kid naper had gone and where he would wait in the woods for Col. Iindbergh? It is believed the note did contain directions but contact failed.
 It must also be remembered that hardly an hour elapsed from the time the Kidnapping was discovered until police, State Troopers and others were rushing along the road from Newark or Trenton to Hope well in automobiles As dawn ap- preached, airplaneS were roaring overhead above the woods surround ing the Lindbergh estate, search ing for the kidnaperS.
 Seized with Fear
 The kidnaper perhaps was seized with fear at the intensity of the search. He had perhaps thought Col Lindbergh would not cause any alarm and would meet him at the appointed place, deliver the ran- som, secure the baby and return home.

They employ ed airplanes, yachts and fast mo- tor cars in negotiations and ran up and down the coast and out to sea with Col. Lindbergh par ticipating many times in the mys- terious contact" proceedings.
