Importance in Lindbergh'S own story
of the man with StoOp."
The Stars correspondent is able to
present herewith for the first time au-
thentic details of LindberghS observa-
ton of the "other man" together with
the hitherto unrevealed fact that Con-
don followed the second man down
the street for some distance before
returning to hand the ransom money
to John"
Iindbergh had driven Condor III
small coupe to the East fremont ave-
nue. side of st. Raymond's Cemetery.
In accordance with instructions re-
ceived in a note delivered by an I'M
identified taXicab driver, Lindbergh
turned his car around in the street
and parked on the side nearest a land
scape gardeners shack.
Saw Man Pass Condor.
DR.. Condor got out of the car and
stood for a moment with his back to
the sidewalk, talking with Lindbergh.
AS JafSie stood there Ltndbergh saw
a Stoop-Shouldered man come down
the sidewalk and pass directly beside
tie car, within an arms length of
COndOniS back.
This man, Lindbergh discerned, was
holding a handkerchief TO the side of
his face nearest the car. There was
sufficient light for Lindbergh to see
the color of the mans suit. 1t was
brown. The man passed on down the
street and Condor, who says he never
saw the man, went to table on the
porch of the nursery shop and found
a note directing him to cross the
street, walk alone to the corner and
go along Whittemore avenue.
Condor left the box of money-$70,-
900 in two packages, one of $4,000
and one of $2000O-in the car with
Lindbergh and followed instructions
in the note. 1t was when he glanced
up at the street sign that woman
whom Condor described as "a quite
small person" came up to him and
announced This is Whittemore ave-
nue." Condor proceeded along the
cemetery edge a short distance and
a Teutonic voice from inside the fence
said Here l am, doctor" Condor
motioned for John" to cross an en-
trance road into the cemetery and
meet him further down, where only
low hedge separated the pair. John"
did so reluctantly, and in the ensuing
conversation Condor says he induced
John" to accept $4,000, the amount
specified in the original ransom note,
instead of the $4,000 demanded in
subsequent letters.
Colonel Watched Man.
In the meantime Lindbergh, sitting
in the car, was trying to see what
had become of the stoop-Shouldered
man. He lost sight Of him down the
dark street, however.
Condor returned. said John" had
agreed to accept the reduced ransom,
and received from Lindbergh the box
containing the money and a note
asking the kidnapers TO call a certain
telephone number. 1t was hoped later
to trace the call to its source, but the
call never came.
Condor, with the box under his
arm, did a strange thing at this point
in the anSaction-Something he has
never satisfactorily explained to in
vestigators. Instead of returning direct
to the waiting John" on Whittemore
avenue, Condor crossed the street and
walked rapidly down fremont avenue
in the direction taken by the man
with a stoop," whom Condor had not
seen.
Lindbergh watched "Jafsie" make
this unaccountable detour, losing sight
of him at the far end of the block. In
Just a few moments he saw Condor
