kidnaping.
Breckinridge aald he had met Dr.
Condon, whom Wllente described as
"the gentleman who waa Just on the
stand."
Breckinridge said all parties con
cerned Including Condon had oa their
objective the return of the child.
He described Condon's night at the
Lindbergh home.
"We came back to New York to
gether and proceeded to Dr. Condon's
home where I stayed for several
weeks," Breckinridge said.
"I waa at Dr. Condon's home when
the sleeping suit arrived," he con
tinued. He Identified the faded rotogravure

wrapped. i

A. Yea sir.

This line of questioning waa aimed
at the defense assertion that one of
the two ransom notes which came
with the sleeping suit waa missing.
The state thus brought out that
Lindbergh took custody of the eniiie
package.

WUentjs continued:

Q. Waa there ever one cent psid tn
Dr. Condon for hla services?
A. Not one cent.
Q. Did he ever request It?
A. No. sir.
Breckinridge said that 170.000 had
been brought to Condon's home on
April 3 by himself and Col. Lind

Dr. Condon's the afternoon before the
ransom pay-off,

to show through Dr. John P. (Jafaie)
Condon that the Lindbergh baby
was stolen by a gang.
Questions of this line hammered
at the state's star accuser of Haupt

only negative answers.
The aged educator, who yesterday

anybody that he believed a gang
kidnaped the baby, and he denied
the attorney's assertion that he had
told a newspaperman the baby's body
had been brought back to the spot
where It was found in the woods a
few miles from the Hopewell home
or the Lindberghs.
He also ignored the attorney's use
of the term "the chief," when ask
ing If the box, in which the ransom
money was plnced had been planned
and ordered by "the chief." Jafsie
said the box waa ordered by Colonel
Lindbergh and Attorney Henry Breck

woodcarver.

Reilly brought up hla ire by ask
ing htm why he made no attempt
to have a bua driver run down the
man he saw on the street In the
Williamsburg section of New York
In August, 1934, a man he said he
recognized as "John." Identified by
him as Hauptmann. Jafsie waa on a
bus at the time.
"Did you call out to the chauffeur.
'Oet that man'?
"No, it was none of my business."
Jafsie replied, and this brought from
the attorney:
"So, it Is your sworn testimony
then that you made no effort to
capture the man to whom you say
you gave $50,000, the man who double-crossed
you on the rsnaom?"
"I didn't say that." parried Jafsie.
explaining there was too mi"h traf
fic to permit a chase.
Jafsie denied ever telling anybody
that he thought a gang which kid
naped the baby had headquarters on
City Island.
Shortly before court recessed for
lunch at 13:31 p.m.. Reilly brought
a woman forward In the court room,
and asked -Condon If he knew her.
Her name was given as Mrs. Ferraln
and Jnfsle remembered her only as
a woman who came to his house with
another named Mrs. Buach.

Reilly held up two letters, and
asked Jafsie if he did not show them

"No, sir." Dr. Condon snapped.
Attorney General David T. Wllenta
charged Reilly waa attempting to aa
sasMnate Dr. Condon s character "by

Reilly pounded again on the "hol
low rough" that the mysterious
"John" had when he sat on a park

discuss the ransom. The defense may
contend that Condon talked, not to
Hauptmann, but to Isador Flsch who

Dr. Condon readily admitted that

SIX CHILDREN KILLED
COLLISION OF TRUCK, BUS
DEADWCOD, S. D-, Jan. 10. (AP)
Six children were killed and 13
others were injured, three of them
critically, as the result of a bus
truck collision on a narrow bridge
on U. S. highway No. 16, near Pied
mont, 25 miles southeast of here.
The accident occurred late yes
terday when the driver of each ve
hicle apparently believed he had the
right-of-way on the bridge. The bus
had nearly cleared the bridge when
it struck the truck, laden with mo
lasses. The- left sides of both machines
were virtually torn off and the bus
upset. Smashed barrels of molasses
spread their sticky contents over the
wreckage, hampering rescue work.
