' -- Sought, to Obtain, Financial i Help From Condon; Yarn Wili be Checked , By FRANCI3 A. JAMIESON i HOPEWELL, N. J., May. 19 (AP) A possible, link between a Brooklyn .:, school teacher and ;"jafsie" bobbed in and out of the Lindbergh murder hunt today s police exhibited eagerness to learn more about the actirltles of Dean H. Dobson-Peaeock. associate of John Hughes Curtis, hoax nego tiator. Behind the closed doors, of the Brooklyn district attorney's office, officials questioned Mrs. Mary G. Ford for several hours about a re port she had communicated sever al weeks ago with Dr. John F. Condon, who handled the $50,000 ransom payment for Col. Charles A. Lindbergh., In another room other officers Interrogated the teacher's daugh ter, Miss Gertrude Ford, whom they found in a Riverside drive apartment. Both told substantially the same story of their contact with "Jaf sie" and were released. Investigation Is Not Yet Finished District Attorney W. F. X. Geoghan said he neither believed nor disbelieved their explanation but would continue an investiga tion. Mrs. Ford told her questioners a story of being in financial straits, thinking a;jafsie" might be able to aid her, and appealing to him in vain for $2,500. Information supplied by public school officials started detectives off on this sew tangent. They heard Mrs. Ford talk to Dr. Con don by telephone, they said, and knew she was absent from her duties between February t5 through March. 1, the day of the kldnaplBg:r"cIf3:;-. Under questioning Tlrs. -.Ford said she first thought of Dr. Con don when a private detective call ed on her about another matter and started discussing, the Lind bergh case. Her story of what followed was this: She wrote to Dr. Condon ask ing an appointment about a per sonal matter, and adding she would like to be of service In the Lindbergh case. He replied by letter asking for her tele phone number. She sent him the school number. Jafsie Refused to Assist. She States Dr. Condon called her and she asked him for S2500 $1700 to settle ran account and $800 for her daughter, who had motion picture ambitions. Dr. Condon told her to write to him. Instead she called him several days later and someone at his home said he could do nothing for her. She explained -her absence from school from February 25 through March 1 by saying she and her daughter had been ill- She gave the came of the physi cian she said treated them. An thpritles said they would check that part of the story. Geoghan said, he wonld ask Dr. Condon to go to his; office .to morrow with the letter Mrs. Ford wrote him. Dr. Condon was told of the in terrogation of Mrs. Ford as he eame from a mysterious visit to the- United States military acaa emy at West Point, N. T, "I have never even seen her,' he said. ' : !,' "Did yon ever talk to her on the telephone!" he was asked. i The aged educator smiled, stuck , out his tongue. , and saia: -That's my answer." Lindbergh's Hop Five Years Ago ! NEW YORK.

The huge airliner was several hundred miles the farther toward their mutual preparatory destin ation, Harbor Grace Newfound land. The DO-x was at Dlldo, Trinity Bay, Newfoundland, and Miss Earhart at St. John, N. B. The pilots' of both ships hope to reach Harbor Grace tomorrow to await favorable weather re ports before starting the long and dangerous flight across the At lantic toward Europe. The Do-X will head from Harbor Grace for the Azores but Mrs. Putnam, the first woman to. fly the Atlantie and now seeking to be the first to fly it alone,' will nose her plane toward the east for a point she has not announced. The flight of Mrs. Putnam-is es pecially Interesting to Salem peo ple inasmuch as her husband. George Palmer - Putnam, was at one-time a resident of Salem, serving as private secretary to Governor Withycombe, Putnam was also publisher of & dally pa per at Bend, selling his Interests there to Robert W.

He married Miss Ear hart two years ago." to convince his questioner he was niaing lor some omer reason Be fore he was released from suspi cion that he knew about the kid naping. : . - "I cant. give names and cases, of course, but this Is the way it was done: "If a fellow was missing, word was sent out through the grape vine route that we wanted to talk to him. Pretty soon one of his friends would come in and say that absolutely this fellow knew nothing! "We would demand to hear that from his own lips. So a meeting place would be arranged in some secret spot; We went to scores of meetings like that. - "The agreement was always ntade that if anything went wrong none of us would come away alive. "Ton see what It meant. One mob might have the mark on man'He would be In hiding. We'd go to the other mob and get In touch with him. - But we would never break confidence with '.any' I guess we talked to a hundred men like that who were hiding out for on reason or another.

Communist Hordes Deemed About to Make' war oh - Nanking Leaders Missionaries Stationed at Perigpu' Apprehensive Of new Outbreak r SHANGHAI, May 19 (AP) Chinese communist hordes ravag ing wide areas in central China endangered the safety of Amer icans today and threatened the Ranking government with Civil war. Apprehension was acute among CO Americans, most of them mis sionaries, at Pengpn In northern Anhwel province, where 20,000 communists had surrounded a force of 7,000 Nanking troops. Amoy dispatches said a com munist army had occupied Shlh ma, 12 miles from that city, and had started seising river craft with the Intention of attacking Amoy. Other communists, ravaging villages ten miles north of Han kow, were bombed by govern ment airplanes. i The government, experiencing its greatest financial stringency, has been unable to pay its armies. Many soldiers were said in dis patches to have deserted to the communists to obtain a living by plundering. Nanking feared civil war would break out, owing to a reluctance of the unpaid forces to fight and the likelihood of further defec tions to the outlaws.' The outlaws near Pengpu threatened to cut the Tientsin Pukow railway south of there to block the movement of govern ment troop reinforcements, while similar threat was made against the Kinhan railway In the Han kow area.

But few would predict the out come of the Noting which saw Jo seph Irwin France of Maryland the only republican -presidential eandldate on the ballot.
