Doctor Condon Points
 ToHauptmannAsMan
Makes Three Charges - He Got the $5O,OOO - He Wrote the Notes-te Was in Lndbergh
 Nursery the Night Baby Was Stolen
BY SIDNEY E. WHFPPLE United Press Stan COrrcspondcnt)

Bennington, N. J., Jan 9.-(UP) ---In Q two hour court session that cracklcd and anapned with Honsa- ton, Bruno Richard Hauptmann was taken three steps closer to the electric chair to-day, by the man known as "Jafsie".
 Dr John r. Condon, the benign patriarch of the Bronx whose ne- gotiations with the alleged kid naper ended with the $50,000 ram som hoax in a Bronx cemetery, di- rectly tied the German carpenter to the Hopewell crime by three declarations---
 Three Smashing Blows
 That he was the man with whom der the rustling trees of Wood- fatherly fashion to give up his mad exploit and return the child.
 That he was the man who, receiving $50,000 before he re- turned the child, actually received the ransom money in St Ray mond's cemetery and disappeared in the darkness.
 InuL Hc Ulb DIcDCICC in the nersery at HopeWcll on the night of tho Kidnapping, by iden- tifying two safety pins which Nurse Betty Cow had used to pin the blankets comfortably around Baby Lindbergh.
 In those three statements, the 74-year old patriarch was vigor- ous, confident, sure. flo shouted In |. n prisoner. There were no qualifi- cations in his statements, although in previous testimony he had shown m inclination to ramble, until called back to the main story by Attorney General David T. Wi lentZ.
 Planted firmly on the witness stand--and looking 50 remarkably like Justice Thomas w. Trenchard above him that he might have been q brother--Jafsle related the melodramatic story of his negotia- tions, and marched, figuratively, over the long trail that ended with Col Lindbergh's cruel disappoint- ment.
 Knew His Importance
 By far the most important states witness, Jafsie appreciated his position and the overwhelm- ing interest his appearance on the stand created. It would be go- ing too far to say, perhaps, that he enjoyed his own recital. But at least he knew he was the vital link in the states clrcumstantial case against the pale-faced carpen- ter.
 Identification of the long series of ransom notes, each pricked with the mystic symbol with the three holes, interrupted his tes- timony at intervals.
 There was the envelope con- taining two notes, the first he re- ceived from the kidnaper after ho had advertised his willingness to serve as negotiator. One note, addressed to him, advised him to take the other note to Colonel Lindbergh.
 Notes Drop Into Case
 There were the paper chase" notes, used in the childlike game of the extortioner, found beneath stones. and in strange places to which Jafsie was directed.
 There were the ransom notes complaining bitterly that "ouer man" failed to receive the money, and that the kidnapers were get ting angry.
 And tho note that led to the re- turn of Baby Lindbergh's sleeping suit, the one already identified by Anne Morrow Lindbergh and Bet ty Cow as the one in which Charles was put to bed on the night of March 1.
 Finally, there were the notes

BREAK LOOMS

Anti American Activities in
Moscow Bring Sharp
Protest.

By United Press
WASHINGTON, Aug. 26.-The
United States and Soviet Russia to-
day stood at the parting of the ways
in their official relations. A series
Of dead stumps Of broken promises
serve as milestones marking %
months Of troublesome relations.
In what was considered one of
the most sharply worded diplomatic
notes sent from Washington since
the United States broke off relations
with the Central Powers in 1917,
this government warned Russia
that the most serious consequences"
must result unless Moscow smothers
activities Of the Communist Inter-
national organization insofar as it
affects the United States.
The protest came after Ambassa-
dor William G. Bullet had wit
messed the daily sessions in the
Soviet capital of the Communist In
ternational Congress at which the
United States government was re-
peatedly attacked and plans made
for boring" into its political organ
ization, all without interference
from the Soviet government.
