to him, he had been in the Lind
bergh nursery at Hopewell on the
night of the kidnapping.
The second smashing sensation
on a court session that bristled with
excitement, followed "Jafsie's" iden-
tification of the Bronx carpenter
as the man to whom he gave $780,
600 of Col. Lindbergh's money on a
pledge that the baby would be re-
stored.
Hauptmann's reaction to the
challenge was a stolid stare, a lit
tie murmer of the lips. But not a
muscle moved as DR.. Condor pro-
vided, in a clear, incisive voice, the
third link of the day by which
Hauptmann may be sent to the chair
for the murder of Charles A. Lind
bergh, Jr.
The sensation, exclusively pre-
dicted by the United Press several
days ago, came while Condor was
relating the conversation he had
with the man he says is Haupt-
mann, in the darkness of Woodlawn
cemetery.
How do 1 know I am talking to
the right man," Jafsie asked him.
THE baby was held in the crib
by safety pins" the extortioner said,

DR.. Condon's hands as the one that
fastened down the blankets in the
infants crib.
Thus, in less than an hour of teS-
timony, the 75-year Bronx lee
turer had developed the three most
dangerous pieces of evidence yet
heard against the one-time Ger
man machine gunner. He had tes-
titled:
/. That the man who negotiated
for the ransom money in Woodlawn
cemetery was Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann.

by Mrs. Georgia Farrar and the

state in Washington, D. c. The con- ferences have been called by Coor- dinator of Industrial Corporation George L. Berry for the purpose of discussing the desirability of new MIRA legislation.
 The conferences will begin Nov. 9th and will bring together not only Connecticut industrial leaders but also state labor leaders. The spokesmen for industry and labor will, under Major Berrys plan, sit down together and discuss the best means of accelerating industrial re- covery, eliminating unemployment and maintaing business and labor standards.
 Mir. Goss stated this morning that he would attend the conferences. Letters are being sent out from Washington, for the round table parleys. The original MIRA is now defunct due to decisions issued by the U. s. supreme court finding the MIRA regulations illegal. It is plan- ned following the conferences next month in December to introduce new legislation in congress during January setting up the MIRA on an active basis once more.
