'JAFS|E'S' ROLE
IN KIDNAPPING
REVIEWED

This is the seUenth of q series
OF articles BY Thomas F. Cullen,
former head OF the NeW York
dtutSton of the Department of
Justice, reUteDing investigation
of the Lindbergh baby kidnGp-
ing and murder case.
BY THOMAS F. CULLEN
NEW YORK, Dec. Is G.N.SD.
"Jafsie" contacted the Lindbergh
baby kidnaper and paid him
$4,000.
DR.. John F.. Condor, 72-year-old
pedagogue. innocently became the
partial victim Of the cruehst,
most vicious hoax ever witnessed
in crime history.
Condor, a quiet, family loving
man, known and loved by his
neighbors throughout the Bronx,
was deeply touched by the abduc.
ton Of Charles Augustus Lind
bergh, jr.
Nation Stirred
This was an offense that
reached into the hearts Of man
kind.
He inserted a carefully worded
advertisement in a community pa.
per. Within a few hours the one
he sought to reach read the ap-
peal and communicated with him.
This started a series of strange
and secretive negotiations, upon
the outcome Of which the world
was interested.
Colonel Contacted
"Jafsie," as DR.. Condor called
himself, got in touch with Col
onel Lindbergh and by him was
authorized to deal with the kid
naper.
In cemetery not far from his
home the Intermediary for Lind
bergh finally met the kidnaper.
First the amount of ransom.
Seventy thousand dollars was de-
manded. Then the manner in
which the infant would be re-
turned. The baby would be
placed on board a yacht, and
this boat would be off Gays
Head, near Martha's Vineyard,
on the New England coast.
At the next conference, "Jat-
sic" demanded an identifying
token, which would positively
prove that the baby was in the
custody of his conferee.
The baby killer refused to give
him fingerprints. 1t was not
known then, but the utter I'M
possibility of a compliance with
this request was made only too
clear a short time later.
But the kidnaper did give q
token of Identification. And
when he did he gave proof which
will convict him not only OF the
extortion of money, but OF the
abduction and murder OF the
child.
He gave "Jafsie" the sleeping
garment the baby was wearing
when he was ru t n Ie sSI ~
"snstched" from his crib.
After the long discussions be-
tween the criminal and the "con-
tact man." convinced through the
night dress that this unknown
man had the child, Colonel Lind
bergh agreed to the terms.
Cemetery Visited
Accompanying DR.. Condor one
night he went to the rendezvous
hopeful and expectant for the
first time during the painful
weeks following the abduction.
Seventy thousand dollars was
in a package for delivery to the
monster. "Jafsie" walked from
the automobile to keep the en-
gagement.
A few minutes later he returned
to the car. The job was done
He said to Lindbergh:
"CoIOnel I saved you $4,000;
I made him take $5O,OOO."
Lindbergh smiled, rather quizzi'
cally, but smiled for the first time
in weeks.
In the next article the activi-
ties of John Hughes Curtis will
be reviewed.

Former President Strikes
Back After Reminder of
Bonus Army
By United Press

y
SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. l.
Former President Herbert Hoover
and Governor James Rolph Jr. were
embroiled today in heated contro-
versy over the San Jose lynchings
and the dispatch of army troops
against the bonus army in Wash
ington.
Hoover broke. his long silence on
public affairs by affiXing his sigma
ture to group statement which
criticised Rolph's 'laudatory" atti-
tude in the lynchingS of two kid
nap-slayers last Sunday.
The statement intimated that
Rolph could have prevented the
mob action by dispatching state
troops. 1t also considered the Gov
ernor's laudation of the lynching as
a humiliation and shame" to the
state and asked the world to believe
that most California citizens re-
pudiated both the mob action and
the Governors approval.
IF troops had been called out
hundreds of innocent citizens might
have been moved down. Rolph re-
piled.
There was no shooting such as
that which occurred near the White
House during the bonus march
trouble Had I sent out troops there
might have been considerable shoot
ing and right near the vicinity of
Mr.. Hoover's home" ~he Hoover

retorted in public statement.
Not a single shot was fired, not
a single person was injured by the
troops called out in Washington in
response to the appeal of the local
authorities" Hoover said The
troops ended the bloodshed which
was in progress through conflicts
between rioters and the police.
The issue here is plain and not
to be obscured by such miSState-

vocating lynch law"

A Good Story, and the
Judge Said Fine

THIVALRY proved costly to
~ James H. McKinlye, 900 Col
lege avenue, when he appeared in
municipal court today to face
charges of intoxication and car
rying concealed weapons.
Mckinley protested he had had
only three drinks of 80 beer and
met a red-haired man who asked
me to take the revolver to pool
room"
On his way, he told Judge
Dewey Myers, he saw an intoxi-
Gated woman staggering through
traffic on Massachusetts avenue.
Bravely, he rescued the woman
and led her into a nearby build
ing, and then started to leave.
Both Mckinley and the woman
were arrested, but the woman was
freed because she was not in a
public place when arrested.
Mckinley was fined SO and
costs and given a thirty day jail
term on the intoxication charge
Sentence of thirty days and 500
and costs on the weapon charge
was suspended.

SKIDS CREASED
FOR GREENLEE.
INSIDERS SAY
Split With McNutt Looms
Over State Party
Post, Is Hint.

Approval of United States Sena-
tor Frederick Van Mugs is all that
stands between the appointment of
Keith L. Johns as secretary of the
Democratic state committee, it was
reported today.
Mr.. Johns is a former Marion
newspaper man and now is a state
department official.
He is said to have been decided
upon for the post by Governor Paul
V. McNutt and DR.. Carleton B. Nc
Culloch, new state Democratic
chairman.
While the Governor and DR.. Nc
Culloch are in Washington this
weekend paying a $4,000 install
ment on the state organization S
debt to the national committee
they are expected to ask Senator
Van Mugs what he thinks of the
Johns appointment
Political observers agree that il
the senatorial o. k. is placed on Mr.
Johns, his appointment will be made
and Pleas Greenlee, the McNutt
patronage chief, will be given a SLAP
very detrimental to Mr.. Greenlee'S
political prestige.
Penham Is Greenlee Choice
For Mr.. Greenlee has picked
James Penman, Brazil, for the state
committee post.
Democratic leaders who profess
to be closely in touch with the state
political situation, see the begin
ming of the end of Mr.. GreenIee as
the Governors first secretary, il
Mr.. Johns is chosen over Mr.. Pen
man.
There have been repeated reports
that Mr.. Greenlee would be kicked
upstairs" to a better paying state
government post The basis of this
report is the charge that Mr. Green
lee has offended too many old line
Democrats through tactleSs handling
Of his patronage powers.
However, it was denied today in
authoritative quarters that the
skids are being creased for Mr.
Greenlee and that Wayne Coy, sec
ond secretary, will be elevated a
step in the McNutt official family.
Johns In Tax Office
Nevertheless, it is agreed that if
Mr.. Johns, or, in fact, any one but
Mr.. Penman, is chosen committee
secretary, it will be a distinct af-
front to Mr.. Greenlee and a def
mite indication his prestige is wan
ing.
Mr.. Johns has been doing pub
licity work for the state income
tax department and enjoys the adj
ministration favor for this reason
as we'll as for other qualifications
to which his hackers point.
He was chairman of the Fifth
district Young Mems Democratic
Club during the last campaign.
Mr.. Penman is Clay county Dem
ocratic chairman.
