A man asked for her, We said we wouldn't call her to tho telepnoii3 during school hours, whereupon the man said: " 'This Is Jafsie, of the Lindbergh case.' "Our clerk said he didn't believe him.

J., May 19 (JF) Superintendent of State Police H. Nornian Schwarzkopf . announced to day that there Is "nothing that would fn any vay link John H, Curtis, of .Norfolk, with. the., actual kidnapers of the. Lindbergh baby, ahd.tbe col lection of th- ransom money." Curtis was jailed at Fleming ton yesterday following his confession that lie had perpetrated a hoax on the Lindberghs in claiming falsely chat he was in direct- contact, with the kidnapers of. their baby. - After - the confession investigation wis immediately begun as to Curtis' .vherea bouts on the nights of, March .1 when the baby, was kidnaped and It he night of April 2 when the $50,000 j anaom was paid, by Dy. John F. Con Ion, Schwarzkopf's statement to day came as , a,, result of this Inves tigation.. . J&Cslct, f'OTOiierutcs After exonerating Curtis of impli cation in the. actual kidnaping and sollectlon, of. the. ransom, Schwtirz topf said, that Dr, Condon hud been , 'most ca-aperatlye with police" and ;hnd. offered to come to Hopewell or ;jo anywhere else, with the invcstlr jators, . 1 "A message, received from his daughter this morning," Schwarzkopf 'laid, "indlcutqs, that Dr. Condon's iliyslclan has ordered that, ho rest tol several, days before his activities are resumed.. As soon lis Dr, Ccnclon '., rested we will, continue, taking him around' .' - Schwarzkopf's statement nlsp.made rem men t on the . telegram from lit! v. ,Kt Dobsou-Peac,ock, In which tho Norfolk associate in the Curtis. activ ities declined to camo to, Hopewell, .but said he would give all Informa tion to police going, to Norfolk. ,-: "No l.i'g Way." ".Under thce circumstances' said .Schwarzkopf, "it will not be possible ,tp,.confropt Mr, Curtis with Mr. Pea ,jcck.t which at. this, time we ore' very anxious to do. Thcrq Is nq legal, way ,ln.. which we can force Mr. Peacock's presence in either Hopewell or Flem t lug ton. The fact that Peacock re quested the deposit of $25,000 In Nor folk is substantiated by Col. Lind bergh and others, who, w.cr.Q present when Peacock mnde the request." . The full statement as It applied to Curtis follows: ! "On April 2, Mr. Curtis was, in the thq, company, of Lieut. Richards and tils flotlons.-are. accounted. for. There is nothing thnt would In any way link him with the. actual kidnapers and the collection of the ransom money. . "When Mr. Cur.tis was first ques tioned he manifested concern for. tho 'safety of his family and we requested director of public safety, Co). Charles Borland, of Norfolk, Va., to protect the Curtis family. No reports have been received that any threats have been made against any member of his family. , "1-t Is understood that Mr. Curtis has a brother, Oeorgc, who, however, lives, in or near Norfolk and nowhere hit the vicinity pf New York. At -no time did Mr. Curtis see any of tho. actuaL ransom notes, nop the signa ture on them. Iu fact It was the Lrequest of Col. Lindbergh for actual truth of his contacts with the kid napers that was tho basis, upon the desire, to, have Mr, Curtis bring from his alleged, kidnapers, a, letter of oommu nidation bearing tho slgna-1 turo known to be that of the. kid napers." JUfis Guy Ideiilirud, . Col. Schwarzkopf did not identify Miss Gay, but It was learned she was a stenographer employed by Curtis and had attended various conferences 'between tbo ship builder and news paper representatives when' Curtis Ayae .trying to, sell his story. Col.

H. Dobson-Peacock, and slightingly of the third member of the Norfolk group, Rear Admiral Guy H.'Burrage, retired.. The clergyman, Curtis said, was a "publicity fiend" and Joined the hoax for the publicity it would bring. This the. clergyman, at , Norfolk," denied, expressing doubt that Curtis would make such a statement. K ' Burrage was referred to by Curtis as "an old fogy." The retired com mander has been exonerated by police cf any knowledge that he was- lend ing his name and aid to a hoax fash ioned about the tragic, fate of the son of his friend. Col.; Charles A, Lindbergh. '' Two telegraphic requests by state police that Mr. Dobson-Peacock come to New Jersey and tell the authorities what he nows of the Curtis decep tion were answered last night with d counter -proposal In which the clergy man suggested that the police come, to him; . "I stand ready." he telegraphed to Col. Norman Schwarzkopf, head of. tho state police, "to meet you at any time in Norfolk." . ' Another intermediary Jafsie (Dr. Condon, of.

Curtis Well Uimrded; The guard about the Fleming ton Jn II throughout the night was in structed to watch the prisoner close ly, both as a precaution for his own safety from any outside violence that might threaten and because of fears that the boatbullder might attempt suicide. Curtis, by his own. confes sion, has stated that financial trou bles leading to the bankruptcy of his boatbuilding business, and warry oyer the hoax he has perpetrated have weighed heavily on his mind, i From Mexico City , came word- tbat Harry Fleischer, a suspect in the kid- ""l""B mum u uutuiwua UVMUII )UI1- ter, was In Mexico and that- his arrest would be accomplished soon.

On the list of prisoners at tho Jail ho was number 13. - Hunt slows Down With tho startling twist given tho caee by Curtis' confession, the prl-: mary hunt tho running down of tho kidnaper-killer has slowed down.
