strange symbol that was used on the
note which was left on the window
sill of the Lindbergh home the night
of the kidnapping.
Reilly-Did 1t ever occur to you,
Colonel, that the master mind Of the
kidnapers might insert an advertise
ment offering to act as Intermediary.
and that he then could answer his
own advertisement and carry on ne
gotiations with himself, thus getting
the ransom money?
Believes in Condor.
Lindbergh smiled and said that
every possible angle had been conSid-
cred, but that he had finally become
convinced Of DR.. Condons full re-
liability.
Reilly-Have you ever studied SYM
bols, Colonel and do you know that
they are part of theosophy?
symbols much thought" but had no
special knowledge of them.
Reilly-And do you not know that
DR.. Condor was a student and teacher
of these matters in which symbols
play part?
The colonel smiled much Of the
time that this line Of questioning
went on.
Reilly wanted to know If Ollie
Whateley, the butler. had not been
overly friendly with Violet Sharpe,
the maid employed at the home Of
Mrs. Lindbergh's mother. Mrs. Dwight
,f oil tho
tioning suggested that Whateley and
Miss Sharpe carried on an affair. and
when late yesterday Mrs. Whateley
was called to the stand. one of the
first things she did was to state that
during all the years she and her hus-
band had worked for the Lindberghs
her husband had never gone out
without her, and that. any such
friendship between Whateley and Miss
Sharpe, as the defense implied, was
impossible.
Police Included.
The Jersey State police, too, are
finding themselves on trial. The de-
fense is operating on the assumption
that there exists an antipathy among
New Jersey farm folk to the blue
uniformed policemen, who have
warred on speeders and otherwise
irked many persons. Anything un-
favorable to the State police is psy-
chologically favorable to the defense,
Reilly feels.
Why did Violet Sharpe commit
suicide at the Morrow home while
policemen waited below stairs to re-
new their questioning of her? Reilly
apparently intends to make much of
Violet Sharpe before the case is
through.
The whispers that the State has
some important fingerprints to show
has been dissipated. There were none
either on the note or elsewhere, so
far as the State police could learn.

Former County Prosecutor George K.
Large, now associated with the prose-
cution of Bruno Richard Hauptmann,
refuses to apologize" to Hauptmann's
counsel for the manner in which the
State is conducting its case.
Asked to comment on recent criti-
cism offered by a member OF the
defense counsel to the effect that
"the prosecution committed an un-
forgivable tactical error in introduc-
ing Mrs. Lindbergh as q witness so
early in the case" Large remarked:
I'VE refuse to apologize to the de-
fense counsel or any one else for our
conduct of the case. We shall intro
duce our witnesses in their proper
chronological order to give smooth.

ally happened.

Declares Flyer Is "Bravest
Man in the United

BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TAUNTON, Mass, January 5.-Dr.
John F. Condor, the "Jafsie" of the
Lindbergh baby kidnapping, presum-
ably was on his way back to New
York tonight, after having spent sew
eral hours here in the course of which
he characterized Col. Charles A. Lind
bergh as "the bravest man in the
United States"
As to whether Bruno Hauptmann
was the man to whom he passed $50,-
900 in a Bronx cemetery In a vain
effort to effect the return of the baby,
DR.. Condor was resolutely silent. He
would neither affirm nor deny he had
identified Hauptmann as the recipient
Of the ransom cash.
"Jafsie," who has been visiting
Brockton with his son-in-law, an ar
chitect interested in the rebuilding of
a burned high school at Abingdon
passed out dozens of requested auto
graphs while being interviewed.
Insinuations about DR.. Condon's
part in the kidnapping case, made by
defense counsel at the Hauptmann
trial, were met by the aged educator
with the assertion:
Il fear no man or tribunal, for ]
have done no wrong"
He asked the public to "give the
trial a fair break" and declared he
would do anything I could for the
United States Government or the
State of New Jersey"
Dr. Condor said he expected to be
called as a witness at the trial. Early
this afternoon he departed with his
son-in-law. Halph E. Hacker Of Fort
Lee. N. j., and disappeared in the
direction of Providence. 1t was be-
lieved he was en- route to his home in
the Bronx.

johnson Mentioned.
Today his name is back in the rec
ords. Edward J. Reilly, chief defense
counsel, injected johnson into yester-
days trial session. Lindbergh was
testifying, and Reilly asked him:
Isn't it true, colonel, that the
prosecution has brought Betty Cow
back from Europe as witness here,
but has made no effort to bring Red"
johnson back?"
The colonel did not know. The i'm
plication was clear enough. Reilly
mentioned the milk bottle and the
fact that johnson had been questioned
concerning his friendship for Miss
Cow and his whereabouts the night
Of the abduction.
Little was said about the mysterious
"Swede" Anderson Reilly introduced
his name to the case when he asked
Lindbergh:
Did yo uever know an aviator
known as 'Swede' Anderson"
The colonel replied: Il do not re-
call such a person. at least by that
name"
Reilly-Isn't 1t true that there was
bad blood between you and this
"Swede" Anderson. and that he had
made threats against you?
The colonel renewed his denial Of
ever having known such person.
The unspoken implication beneath
this line Of questioning was that there
were several persons who might con-
ceivably have had some knowledge,
before or after the fact, of the tragedy
of the Sourland Hills.

hurried but earnest He lets his voice

terious John" in a Bronx cemetery

mann'S arrest.
Reilly brought out that Condor was
unknown to Lindbergh at the time
of the murder. but that Condor had

 East has done some bidding. Undoubtedly he is short in hearts and has the missing ace of trump.
 With this reasoning South im- mediately leads the queen of hearts. West wins with the ace. If at this point he returns a heart, East will ruff and hold the hand to four odd.
 Another way to hold the hand down to four is to lead another club. The declarer ruffs and leads the king of trump. East wins with the ace and returns the king of clubs, South ruffing with tho jack Of spades.
 South lends the quene of spades, and follows with n small heart Co the jack in dummy. Of course, East must ruff this trick with the six of spades or he will lost it. That takes out tho last outHtand- lng trump and tho declarer has tho remainder of the tricks.

Solution to Previous Contract
 Problem
 I wonder if future important events in bridge are not going to be the mixed events. In the re- cent eastern tournament, which has the largest. entry of any of the major tournaments, only IA teams were in the open team-of -four con- test, while in the mixed team-of- four events 29 teams were entered. This goes to prove that bridge even in championship tourna- ments, is still a social game. The strain in the mixed events is not as great as in the opens, either.
 Here's an interesting hand se- 1ected from the first session of the mixed team-of-four in the eastern. A very nice play was made by one pair in an attempt to defeat four hearts.
 The Play
 A diamond was opened, and was won with the ace. The king of spades was returned, West played the nine, and Beast refused to win.
 A heart was played by declarer and won by west with the ace. A small spade was returned, which East won with the ace, and the return of spade was ruffed by West, holding the contract to four odd.
