JAFSIE AGREES
TO QUIZ, FLAYS
GOV. HOFFMAN
Seriously Doubt Your Good
Faith Condor Says in
Wire to Executive.
QUESTIONS AUTHORITY
Accuses Him of Working
in Concert With Law
yerS for Bruno.

By United Press
NEW YORK, March 24.-In 300
sharp, telegraphed words to Gov.
Harold G. Hoffman of New JERSEY.
DR.. John F.. (Jafsie) Condor agreed
today to submit to new questioning
concerning mis- part in the Lind
bergh case.
DR.. Condor made plain his re-
sentiment of the numerous attacks
made upon him by Gov. Hoffman
and attorneys for Bruno Richard
Hauptmann (who had acted, he
charged, in concerN after he left
the United States for vacation in
Panama.
He told Hoffman that he doubted
his sincerity and good faith; that
he had "uSurped the functions of
the courts and the duly constituted
investigating officials; that, because
OF his recent activities, he is dis
qualified from conducting an i'm
partial examination on a fair basis"
DR.. Condon's telegram replied to
one from Gov. Hoffman asking an
interview. 1t seemed deliberately
sharpened as broadside attack on
Hoffman. The Governor could
question him, he said, but only in
his home in Bronx borough, New
York City, in the presence of Atty.
Gen. David T. Wilentz, and by sub
hitting his questions in writing, to
which he promised to reply in writ
ing "in the interests of clarity and
relevance."
Death Date Is Near
Hoffmans telegram and Conoon's
reply were made public as the
clouds blackened for the Lindbergh
kidnaper. Today in the Trenton
death house, Hauptnann signs a
new appeal to the Court of Pardons,
meeting to consider the case of an
other condemned murderer.
There was little likelihood the
court would act, since it refused
once before. Unless there is startling
new evidence or Gov. Hoffman
grants a new reprieve, which he
claims he has no intention of doing,
Hauptmann dies one week from to-
night.
His telegram continued:
"Yet not until after I sailed for
a winter holiday with my daugh-
ter, who was also witness for the
state, did procession of state
ments appear in the public press
purporting to have emanated from
you or your agents. These state
ments concerned my arrest, flight,
extradition, etc.
Doubts His Sincerity
1.-THE occasion of my departure
last January after a conference
with your attorney general was al
luded to as possessing some malign
significance. There have been a
number Of yelled charges that ]
have been guilty of inconsistencies
as to statements attributed to me.
Statements derogatory to me have
allegedly been given out through
your present representative or by
your agents as we'll as by defense
counsel with whom you have ap-
parently acted in concert
i have concluded because of
your reported activities and of ut
terances attributed to you in the
public press that you are disquali-
fed from conducting an impartial
examination on fair basis. I do
not believe that you have any legal
authority or justification for your
present activities and I further
seriously doubt your sincerity and
good faith

Kirby returned yesterday from
Garmisch-P artenkirchen. He said
that loss of five of six titles won
at Lake Placid in 1882 and a drop
from first to fifth in the unofficial
team standings doubtless would be
interpreted by the general public as
a comparatively poor showing by
American athletes.
"As a natural result" he said, 1T
expect 10 times as much material
and much stronger team for the
1910 games, which probably will be
held in Japan"
Kirby said the American per-
formanceS were courageous and
commendable and as good as could
be expected under the circum-
stances.
The skating competition in 1882
was under American rules, with the
field starting from scratch and
skating against each other. In
Germany, European rules were used
and the skaters competed against
the clock, racing two men at
time.
In bob-sledding, where America
scored it's lone triumph. the Red,
White and Blue athletes had hard
luck. Donna Fox, one of their best
drivers was injured and unable to
compete. And the bob run was
poorly constructed, Kirby said.
