present the entire Llndpergn Case
to it. The grand jury will con-
Vene in Flemington.
Colonel Lindbergh has not
signed any complaint against
anyone in connection with the
kidnapping of his baby, Col. H.
Norman Schwarzkopf, head OF
the New Jersey State police, as
serted in a news bulletin today.
He added:
"The police have not sworn
out any John Doe warrants or
any other warrants as yet.
CAPTORS SILENT
"It is not known what state
ments this unknown friend of
Colonel Lindbergh'S may have
made, but we do know that
Colonel Lindbergh has not
given out any statements con-
cerning this matter to the pO-
lice authorities nor for publ
cation by the press"
This comment was pred1cated
on a question submitted to
Schwarkopf in which he was
asked concerning a report that
Lindbergh had told an unnamed
friend that he would not pay an
other dollar until his baby was
restored.
No new attempts were made by
the kidnapers to get in touch
with Lindbergh since one OF his
emissaries paid the $4,000 ran
som demanded on the promise,
since broken, that the baby would
be restored to his parents.
This statement was made by
Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf,
head of the New Jersey State Po-
lice, after he attended a confer
ence late yesterday with Colonel
Breckinridge, legal adviser to
Lindbergh, in New York City.
"Jafsie" Busy
It was generally believed this
was the secret meeting which was
attended by DR.. John F. Condor,
the "Jafsie" who, under melodra-
matte circumstances actually paid
the money to the supposed abb
ductors near a lonely cemetery in
New York.
With Lindbergh insisting, de-
spite the swindle perpetrated on
him, that the men who received
the money must have been the
real kidnaperS, as they used the
cryptic code concealed in the
original ransom note left when
the baby was stolen, DR.. Condor
continued engaged in mysterious
activities today. q
He said on his return to his
Bronx, New York, home after at
tending the mysterious confer
ence, that important develop
ments are expected.
He set out for his secret tryst
carrying two heavy suitcases and
a satchel.
PugiliSt BOdyguard
He came back in a car driven
by AL Reich, who served as body
guard while he negotiated with
the supposed kidnaperS. Reich, a
former prize fighter, once boxed
with Luis Firpo:
Inspector Henry Bruckman, Of
the Bronx police, extended an
offer of official assistance to Or.
Condor, but the latter declined
it. He also refused to reveal
what his plans we're in connec-
ton with the Lindbergh case. He
asserted:
MATTERS will adjust them
selves"
Several detectives questioned
the retired school principal. 1t
was believed he furnished a good
description Of the men who took
the box containing the ransom
money from him while Lindbergh
himself waited near the desolate
meeting place in his car.
Swede Leader
The leader was identified as a
husky, six-foot Scandinavian or
German. He and one of his two
companions were reported to be
known to police.
One report was that these three
actually were members of the kid
nap group, but had quarreled
with their coconspiratorS over
amount of ransom to be de-
manded.
When the kidnap gang ostra-
cized them, they determined on
the double-cross, according to this
view.
This would lend basis to Lind
bergh's confidence that the
money went to the original kid
naperS, since he believed no one
else knew the secret means Of
identification used in the first
ransom note.
All Clues CIOuded
Governor A. Harry Moore OF
New Jersey reiterated his conf.
dence in the conduct of the hunt
for the kidnapped baby. but as.
