Hauptmann committed the kidnap- ing without accomplices.
 Now We have Q news reel film of Condon which shows that he said Hauptmann must have had aecoiaS plices," Fisher said.
 Governor Hoffman has formulated four specific questions that he wants "Jafsie" to answer. He con- templated addressing 0 letter to Con. don himself if Fisher's plea to him to return is ineffective. The points he thinks Condon should clarify are:
 Points to Clarlfy
 1. Why did Condon say that more than one person was involved in the Kidnapping, then testify that Hauptmann was alone in the crimeP
 2. How does he account for the fact that, as he has said, someone offered him S2b0,000 to change his trial testimony? Hauptmann was In jail when the offer allegedly was made.
 3. Who was the man with Italian accent who broke into telephone C0kAvOEbHvAUh bVbWVSAA &A&6Pvsssss's~s and Condon about ransomp
 {. Who was the woman who entered @ charity bazaar to make an appointment to meet Condon, ana why did he not keep itF
 Hauptmann Breeding
 Hauptmalln, undoubtedly brood' ing in his cell over tho same points that interested Hoffman and Fisher, made his request to see Condon ita another letter to Warren Kimber. ling. Kiimherling pointed out that he was poweriess, but indicated nc had transmitted the letters import to the governor.
 Fisher revealed that he believes Condon holds one of Hauptmarn's last hopes to escape the electric chair In the week of March 30.
 "The outlook is dark" hc ad- mitted.
 Hoffman, convinced that Haupt- mann ct least had accomplices who should be found before he Is exc. cuted, has been unable to obtain evidence enough to win clemency from the state pardons court and has said he will not grant another re- prieve.
 Condon, Other Rumors
 Trenton, N. J., Feb. 2i-tUP)- Sources close to Gov. Harold c. Hoffman admitted that unless pr. John Y. (Jafsie) Condon, one of the states main witness against the German carpenter, returns volun- tarily to this country little can De done to clarity apparent discrepan- cies" in his story of the Lindbergh baby Kidnapping. Hauptmara has written begging Condon to return.
 pr. Condon, elderly Bronx school teacher, Is vacationing In Panama, and apparently Is one of the few hopes left for the defense to save Hauptmann from the chair March 3i.
 Governor Hoffman who used . reprieve to preserve Hauptmanil's life until now, frequently has claimed that pr. Condon told dif- ferent stories before, during and after the Bennington trial in which Hauptmann was found guilty.
 Intends To Stay Away
 Defense principals believe pr. CCndon intends to remain in Pa- mama until after Hauptmann's exec cution.
 Members of Governor IEoffman's staff said the only way to force the return of pr. Ccndon would Do by attempting to get Q perjury iladict- fnent against him and using it as e springboard for extradition pro- ceedings. This plan, however, was not considered feasible, 1t was said.
 The flood of ruinors accelerated by the dramatic withdrawal from the case of Samuel Leibowitz, noted criminal lawyer, continued.
 Governor Hoffman denied pub- iished reports that he was cone teinplating another reprieve.
 Col. Mark O. Kimberling. warden of the state prison, denied that the handwriting of xauptmann on notes sent { him had been found idei- teal to that on the ransom notes.
 "There has been no comparison made" Kimherling said.
