money is ready"
And so on Saturday, April 2, $50 900
prepared for Col. Lindbergh was bum
died into box. Oh, have got to
tell you about that box. Why, the
carpenter put a picture of the box in
his notes. He not only put a picture
in 1t, he gave you the dimensions-6
by by l4-in his own handwriting.
He told them how to bundle 1t up, he
measured it, mind you, in his own
imagination, and there he put this
picture, in this note, of this box, with
the dimensions.
Why, he might just as we'll have
put his picture in there. And SO
they prepared a box. put the money
in the bundle, and then along came
another messenger on a Saturday
night and said: within three-quar-
tiers of an hour you come here or
you come there" and, of course, they
did. Well, you can imagine, you can
imagine the condition of Col. Lind
bergh then. There he was about to
get his child. He only needed the
money, and he had that money to
give up, it was ali prepared. And so,
he said, Il will go with you. DR..
Condon." and Col. Lindbergh drove
that little automobile on that night
with Condor to follow the directions
to a greenhouse. and there they would
turn over a stone and under that
stone they would get further direc-
tons. And they did.
Directions Under Stone.
And Condor lifted up that stone or
table or whatever it was and there it
was, cross the street ana 60 to Whit
temore avenue" or something like
that
He showed it to Col. Lindbergh, and
they did that. Right across the street
he had picked out another cemetery
for his next meeting place. And there
was Condor in the middle of the road.
Now don't imagine that that par
ticular section of the Bronx is any
more populated than it is right here
in Pennington. and particularly in the
vicinity of the cemetery.
And there stood Condor waiting to
see where Hauptmann was. Finally
Hauptmann hollered. Hey, doctor,
hey doctor. twice.
In the still of the night you could
have heard it for two blocks and par
! ticularly in the vicinity of the Bronx
So finally DR.. Condor went down, fol-
lowed him along, he on the inside of
this st. Raymond's Cemetery. Condor
on the outside. until they got to a
hedge. And as they got down to that
hedge Condor said, Won't you please
let me see the baby f1rst?"
Now, no use about that"
Well you know in 1892 times were
awfully bad, even for Col. Lindbergh.
$4,000 was a lot Of money. He
wanted $4,000 then.
Wont you please cut 1t down to
$4,000? That is all We ask"
Cut Price to so.
The boss said, "Yes, I will cut 1t
down to So"
So DR.. Condor said to him, Now
here, after all it is just you and I.
Now give me a receipt. give me the
directions where We are going to find
the child"
He said, "All right. all right You
60 back. Who is over there in the
car with you?"
Col. Lindbergh."
"Is he there?"
"Yes. Col. Lindbergh is the-e. He
has got the money"
You go back to Col. Lindbergh
and you get the money and we will
meet here in five minutes and will
give you the directions"
He wasn't worried about being ap-
pretended. He was relying upon the
word of honor Of Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, that all he wanted was
his child. Not only that but he
actually had followed and traced
Condon-we will prove 1t to you-
to see that he wasn't being accom-
panied by detectives.
He knew he was taking no chances,
that he wanted the child. that was
ALL So he went back somewhere and
he wrote a little note and he came
back And there over that hedge he
received that box with $50,000.
What do you think he said? wait
a minute, doctor, until l see if it is all
right. Wait minute
Then he dipped his hand into this
box and up he looked at Condor and
he said, Your work is perfect" :"
Shakes hands with him. Your work
is perfect"
Directed to Massachusetts,.
So within two hours in accordance
with instructions given by Haupt-
mann they looked at this note and
the note directed them to 60 up to
some place in Massachusetts,, Bay
Head. I think 1t was.
Col Lindbergh, DR.. Condor. Col.
Breckenridge and representative of
the United States Government got
into a plane. And Lindy, who could
find a speck at the end of the earth,
couldn't find his child because Haupt-
mann had murdered it. Up and
around the waters he searched and
returned. Up again in another plane
he searched and he returned, and, of
course, finally back home.
Breckenridge still stayed at Con-
don's home, still stayed there with
Condor. Condor began in the papers
to advertise for better instructions.
But Mr.. Hauptmann was no longer
interested in DIR. Condor and no bet
ter instructions came.
Not only did Col. Lindbergh with
the men who accompanied him as I
indicated minute ago search for this
mysterious and mythical boat but the
Coast Guard of the United States
went out, too, to try to find it. OF
course it wasn't there When he took
that $50.000 across the hedge of that
cemetery he took it knowing that the
baby was lying face down in that
, grave in New Jersey. We will prove
that.
Body Found in Woods.
So back again to New Jersey for Col
Lindbergh and to the home of sorrow
Then on May 12-on May II, 1892
some colored gentleman, driving along
the highway, got of the beaten path
| Of the road and into woods, to an
swer the call of nature-or what
ever it was-and there he was horri-
