pr. Condon Will Refuse

DIs VVu INCAuSC
 New York, April 13-(UP)-Dr John F. (Jafsie) Condon indicated today that he would refuse to com ply with the request of the Mer- Ger county grand jury that he tes- tify before it about the Kidnapping and murder of Charles A. Lind berg, Jr.
 He refused to commit himself to reject or grant the request, but his previous refusals to enter New Jer- sey to answer questions about the case indicated his probable course The grand jury request is purely an invitation, for its subpenas have no legal standing outside New Jer- sey. Unless Condon were indicted for a felony he could not be ex- tradited.
 Refused Hoffman Request
 A telegram sent Condon by AL Tyne Freeman, foreman of the Mer- Ger county jury, said that the ju- TOTS desired his help in their in- vestigation of the repudiated con- fession of Paul Wendell that he kid naped the Lindberhg baby. But even before Bruno Richard Haupt- mann was executed for that crime, Condon had refused to go to New Jersey at the request of Gov. liar old G. Hoffman to answer ques- tions about the case.
 He offered to receive the gover- nor in his home in Bronx borough and to answer, in writing, any writ ten questions submitted to him, but was adamant against submitting himself to persecution" in Hoff- mans political bailiwick. Since the Mercer county grand jury is repu- ted to be dominated by Hoffman's political trends, it was unlikely that Condon would give its requests any more consideration than he gave those of the governor.
 Smoke Screen Charge
 Persons close to the office o1 District Attorney William F. x Geoghan of Kings county (Brook- lynD intimated that they think the New Jersey grand jury's activities are a smoke screen to obscure ar investigation of Wendels chrage! that he was kidnapped in New York with connivance of New Jersey officials. Assistant District Attorney William F. McGuiness disclosed that New York investigators haC identified one of Wendel's "kid napers" as a man whose father home is in the neighborhood where Wendell said he was held captive and turtured.

 Only one of two counts of man. slaughter against Dr. Gerardo Gae- tano Petrocelli of this city will be pressed when trial of his case begins in superior court here before Judge Ernest c. Simpson and a jury to- morrow morning. The state will limit its case to the charge that Dr. Petrocelli was guilty of manslaugh- ter in the death of Mary Silva, of West Avon, last June after an alleged illegal operation in this city. Action on second count of manslaughter placed against the doctor, in the death of Jennie Piles Xii of Collinsville, will be held up, for the time being at least.
 Witnesses To Testify
 Assistant States Attorney Will liam B. Fitzgerald, who will prose- cute, was today completing prepar- ation of the states case. Witnesses to be called include Coroner John T. Monzani, who secured death bed statement from the Silva girl as she was in St. Francis hospital, Hartford; Dr. Edward H. Kirsch- baum, local medical examiner; doctors from St. Francis hospital, state policemen and several others.
 Conviction on the manslaughter count carries with it a maximum penalty of 10 years in states prison. Dr. Petrocelli is now free on bonds of $5,000. He will be defended by Attorney Edward Mascolo.
 Arrested Last June
 Dr. Petrocelli was arrested by state and local police last June on 8 coroner's warrant. While awaiting a finding by the coroner, in which he was later held criminally respon- sible for the Silva girls death, he was arrested on charge of man. slaughter in the death of Jennie Pileski after an alleged illegal operation.

BORAH AND KNOX BATTLE TUESDAY
 FOR ILLINOIS VOTE
Democratic Fight Centers On Race
 For Governor
BY GEORGE E. sCHUPPE

Limited Press Staff CorrespondenD
 Springfield, H., April l3 - (U.P) s-Illinois voters will ballot on can didates for every office from pres bdent to precinct committeeman at the primary election April IA.
 With Democrats in 8 bitter fac- tional fight over the gubernatorial of1ce and republicans engaged in . free-for-all bottle to get back into office after being on the out side since 1882 the primary is ex- pected to be one of the most color ful in Illinois history.
 President Roosevelt is entered in the presidential preferential prim- ary. He was placed on the ticket by Democratic leaders to arouse in- tereSt among the voters and to keep democrats in the democratic prim- ary.
 Borah Opposes Knox
 Colonel Frank Knox, Chicago newspaper publisher, and Senator William E. Borah, Ida, are entered in the republican preferential prim- sary race. Petitions of the two were filed within a minute of each other with those of Borah getting under the line first.
 Knox has the endorsement of the republican state central committee, a number of Cook county (Chicago) republican organizations and some of the downstate county committees and is expected to win out over Borah, @ native son, who began his political career in Idaho.
 Governor Henry Horner, seeking the democratic renomination, is op- posed by Dr. Herman N. Bundesen, Chicago, who has the support of the regular democratic organization of Cook County.
 Row Over Patronage
 Mayor Edward J. Kelly and Pat rick A. Nash, democratic national committeeman, both of Chicago, re- fused Horner their support for re- election because they said he was not loyal to faithful democrats in dispensing patronage.
 Many political observers blame the break in the democratic ranks, however, to Horner's refusal to sign legislation sponsored by Kelly and designed to legalize lic- ensing of handbooks on horse races in Chicago.
 James Fred Robertson, Chicago, is third entrant in the democratic gubernatorial race. He is little known except for his record of hay inU been an unsuccessful candidate for numerous other offices.
 Eight republicans are seeking the guhernatorial nomination. Heading the list is Len Small of Kankakee, who served two terms as governor from 1920 to 1928.
 CarlstrOm In Race
 Others in the race are:
 Former Lieut.. Gov. John c. Ogles- by, Elkhart; former Attorney Gen. eraI Oscar Carlstrom, Aledo; H. Wallace Caldwell and c. Wayland Brooks, Chicago; J. Paul Kuhn, Ba- tavia; State Sen. T. P. Cunning, Princeton, and George Dowell, Du- Quoin.
 Sen. James Hamilton Lewis, Chi cago, is a candidate for renomina- tion. He is opposed by c. H. Kava- naugh, Wilmette, and Ruth R. Me- Namara, Chicago two political un- knowns.
 Former U. S. Sen. Otis Glenn, Murphysboro, heads a list of five republicans seeking the senatorial nomination. The others are former Rep. William E. Hull, Peoria; w. A. Overholser, Mundelein; Orville J. Taylor, Chicago, and W. J. Baker, Chicago.

Hoffman repeatedly, before Hauptmann was executed, challenged Dr. Condon's Identification of the German car- penter as the man to whom he had paid $3O,000 ransom. Foreman Free man is his friend. Wendell was de- livered to Detective Ellis Parker of Burlington county few days before Hauptmann's execution by men who, Wendell said, kidnapped him on a New York street and tortured him in week of captivity into signing a dictated confession. As soon as Parker turned him over to Mercer county policeman, who swore to charge of murder against him, he repudiated the con- fession. Mrs. Anna Hauptmann sub- sequently sWore out a charge of kid- naping against him in Hunterdon county, where Hauptmann was con- Victed.
