John F.

Condon, "Jafsie" of the Lindbergh kidnaping case, arrived at a road house on the outskirts of Danbury (the Beau Chalet) shortly before noon today, after driving up here at a high rate of spsed from New York. HOPEWELL, N. May 21. (IP) was intensified today for the mysterious gangster, believed to be connected with the Lindbergh baby kidnap case, who recently said in-Maryland before the baby's body had been found; that the baby was dead. Col.

H. Norman Schwarzkopf, superintendent of state police, disclosed for the first time yesterday that this gangster was being sought and today I gave him firs.t mention in his morn- 1 ing-bulletin. Not Located "Investigators who are Investigating whereabouts of the gangster reported in Maryland and thought to be connected with the case," he said, "have been "Unable to locate him as yet and are continuing their investigation.

Check Curtis Story The possibility that John Hughes Curtis' story of his astonishing lie may in itself have been false In part, received police attention today. A portion of the Norfolk shipbuilder's confession that his intermediation in the Lindbergh baby case was a Hoax already was considered as disproved. That portion in which Curtis explained his purpose in the elaborate Ne was to get money by the sale of his story to newspapers. Police pointed out that the hoax wns three weeks old before Curtis attempted to sell his story; and that even so, he could not hope to find any. buyers unless he recovered the stolen Charles Augustus Lindbergh, he must have known was impossible, Inasmuch as his negotiations were not negotiations at all.

An inquiry was quietly under way to learn if Curtis may not have had some other motive, quite removed from the sale of his "story" for Inventing the deception. It was recalled that due to the "delicacy" of the negotiations with a vessel at sea, coast guard craft, refrained from their usual careful patrols In some waters, fearful of causing tho collapse ol negotiations for the bnby's ransom. Aided Rum As result of this relaxed vigilance, rum runners were nblc to move more, frenly, and to Innd cargoes of liquor with outrunning the cufltomnorygimnt- let at federal craft, authorities pointed out. From Norfolk came word that an attorney had been engaged to defend Curtis from the charge of obstructing Justice on which ho Is held, In llnu of $10,000 bull, in jnll at Flemlntrton, N. J.
