ment of the money. Colonel Lind
bergh gave Dr. Condon written
authorization to pay $70,000. This
waa the sum Dr. Condon carried
with him to the cemetery at the
next meeting with the supposed

"You know," Dr. Condon Is

representative, "the reason' why
there was delay la that we had a
hard time scraping up money.
Colonel Lindbergh hasn't all the
money the newspapers say he

"We will be satisfied with $50.-

"That's fine," said Dr. Condon.
I'll get the money for you right

He returned to the automobile
In which Colonel Lindbergh waa
seated, told him of the develop

package containing the ransom
money and returned with $50,

of the belief that one Brooklyn
rang leader is marked for speedy
death as the result of a $500,000
swindle plot nipped In the bud
45 minutes after the Lindbergh
babys body was found.
The paper ssys the plan was
for one beer and alcohol gang to
fleece another out of tie vast
sum on th promise of delivering
th Lindbergh baby to their ri
vals.
The hoax collapsed,' the Daily
News says, when the plotters were
apprised of the ghastly discovery
near Lindbergh's home nearly two
hours befor even the newspapers
learned the body had been found.
The deal between th rival gun
men was being discussed wnen
the newa came.
Five men are resorted under
arrest in connection with the
gtranro plot which police believed.
i the News said, would have pre-
cipltated the greatest gang mas-
sacra In the history of the east.
