(John Hughes Curtis, the Norfolk intermediary, has numbered at five the band with which he and Col. Charles A. Lindbergh were dealing.) The Daily News story further quotes the elderly Bronx lecturer as disclosing the nicknames of two of the gang "John" and "Doc" and as describing three of thenr as of German, Italian and Spanish extraction. He was said to be under police guard for fear of reprisals from the criminals.

Dr. Condon was told that the gang had two women associates, one of whom the newspapers identified as the woman who called on him in the Bronx with a mes- sage and later mot him by appoint ment at the Tuckahoe, N. railroad station with further instructions. It was "John" the German who accepted the ransom payment, "Jafsie" added, and it was "John" he most distinctly remembers. BAPTISTS HEAR INSPIRING SERMONS ST.

PETERSBURG, May 15 (JP) Its budget making and revenue labors ended, the Southern Paptist convention today turned aside from routine sessions to hear inspirational sermons by outstanding ministers. At an open air meeting in Wil liams Park in the heart of St. Petersburg, the thousands of dele gates and visitors listened to Dr, George Truett of Dallas, and Dr. W. R.

White, of Nashviile. Truett declared the trumpet of the Lord was sounding now to call the world back to the fold of Christianity, peace and progress. He urged a heeding to this call to overcome the problems of a world which he described as torn in government, social, educational, moral, religious, economic and industrial, The world shoved itself un to a false feeling of great prosperity White declared, and thereby stray ed from the right track. We were caught by the spirit of the times and not the spirit of the Lord." He said the world "needs to come back to where it got off the track."

TONIGHT'S MOVIES Five Buildings Are Bombed TOKYO, May 16 (Monday) (VP) The premier of Japan, Suyo-shi Inukai, fell mortally wounded at dusk yesterday before the revolver fire of military terrorists. Simultaneously five buildings in Tokyo were bombed. These included the headquarters of the dominant Seiyukai political party, of which Premier Inukai was presi.

dent. At the scene of some of the bombings, the terrorists left handbills signed "The Young Army Navy Officers' and express, ing bitter dissatisfaction with the political parties, and the way they Jiad handled internal and foreign I affairs. 18 SURRENDER I Within a few hours 18 young men, five of them naval suWieu-I Lenants, and the others former mili-I lary cadets, surrendered in uniform to the police. Such was the political uneasiness in the wake of these sudden terroristic activities, that transaction on the stock exchanges at Tokyo, Osaka, Kobe and Nagoya were suspended. Nine uniformed young men dashed up to the official residence of the premier in an automobile late yesterday, and opened tire on four policemen and a maid servant who tried to halt their entrance.

All five were wounded. Inside, the premier was conversing with a visitor identified only as Mr. Tanaka. Mr. Inukai's daughter-in-law, hearing the disturbance outside, rushed in and warned him to flee.

DOORS CRASH The crashing of doors was plainly audible. The veteran leader refused. When the assassins burst into the drawing room brandishing revolvers, Mr. Jnukai arose and upbraided them in strong terms. "Shoot if you dare!" he said.

Their answer was a volley from nine revolvers. The premier fell, blood streaming from his face. The visitor also was wounded. FEUD FATAL Buckshot Is Used to Slay Brother GAINESVILLE, May 15 (IP) As an outgrowth of a family feud of two years standing, O. W.

Gardner, pastor of the First Baptist church here, today said he would go to Clearwater Tuesday to talk with Jerry Metz, 35, held in the Pinellas-co. jail there as a suspect in an alleged plot to kidnap the minister's daughter.

HOPEWELL, N. Muf 15 (JP) The feverish hunt over land, sea and sky for the Lindbergh baby killers was given momentum by the personal cil'orts of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh today while the aged "Jafsie" of the case sought to pick from a rogues' gallery the likeness of the extortionist to whom he paid fiO.000 ransom.

Dr. John F. Condon, the 72-year-old educator who tossed the packet of money to a man in the murky stillness of a cemetery near his New York home, appeared at New York police headquarters shortly after noon. He was accompanied by three men believed to be New Jersey detectives. VIEW I'lCTl KKS They went at once to the bureau of criminal identification, where thousands of criminals' pictures were on file.

Hours later they still were poring over the photographs. When lv finally emerged from the building, Dr. Condon made this cryptic statement: "I couldn't do a thing." Previously he has said he knew the name, nationality, and physical characteristics of the man who perpetrated the hoax upon him. "I know all about him," tha aged intermediary added. Whether this man and the five gang members with whom John Hughes Curtis and Col.

Lindbergh himself negotiated played a part in the kidnaping and murder or merely tried to commercialize a crime committed by others, was the major moot question confronting officials. In the words of Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf: "Col. Lindbergh is actively cooperating with the police authorities and is assisting us in every way he can." Up and down the eastern coast raced a flotilla of 25 cutters, some hundred smaller government craft and a cotnpletement of airplanes, all heavily armed, in quest of the vessel used by the gangv which tortured Col.

Lindbergh with evasive reports about his son, whom they claimed to their captive. HAD DESCRIPTION The coast guard searchers had a full description of the boat and the men, furnished them by Curtis through New Jersey officials. With a full story of Dr. Condon's negotiations and the efforts of Curtis before them, the official were making a wide-flung effort to determine whether the two intermediaries had been hoaxed by the same gang, and whether this gang included the kidnapers and killers, as well as the extortionists. Using a grand jury inquiry as his agency, Dist.

Atty. Charles B. McLaughlin in New York city looked forward to piecing together the complete narrative of the "Jafsie'' negotiations, conducted in part through newspaper advertisements. Not many hours after the bat. tered body of the celebrated cnWd was found in a thicket less than five miles from the Lindbergh estate last Thursday Col.

Schwarzkopf issued a statement containing this "We have had under suspicion a group of persons suspected of being the kidnapers and immediate steps will be taken to accomplish their arrest." Later that nijjht said "Information concerning Ui gang referred to Is now being Checked." SAME GANCf Last night he saii "The gang referred to in earllef bulletins is tha one described by Mr. Curtis and every effort is being made to locate them." This seemed an indication that officials are working on the premise that the extortionist with whom Col. Lindbergh and Curtis were seeking to deal were the actual kidnaper-killers. From this chain of disclosures it seemed evident an intensive sifting of the Condon-Curtis clues was going on in the hope of drawing forth pertinent threads that would make a net in which to bag th fiendish criminals. FLIERS ARE WELL Dr.

John Grier Hibben, president of Princeton university and a close friend of the Lindberghs, was in communicatiajFi with the flier's estate during the afternoon and later announced: "I have been told Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh are both perfectly well." Both kept close to their now des olate hilltop home, Mrs. Lindbergh who expects another child late in August, remaining in the house itself under the comforting care of her mother, Mrs. Dwight Morrow.

Meantime, the sunny spring weather brought long lines of auto, mobiles into the Sourland coun tryside from all directions. Seen from any of the airplanes that occasionally hovered overhead, these black ribbons of cars-, stretch ing down white roads, resembled borders of mourning encircling the stark white house of tragedy on the hilltop. State troopers placed a barrier two miles from the Lindbergh es tate on the only road leading into the grounds. All traffic was WASHINGTON, May 15 (IP) Franklin D. Roosevelt's campaign for the democratic presidential nomination will start up again tomorrow with his supporters claiming 100 or more delegates will be added to his column before the week is over.

Opposition to the New York governor will take New Jersey's 32 in Tuesday's primary without, a contest. Al Smith, who is expected to control this group, with Mayor Frank Hague of Jersey City, also is conceded a majority of Connecticut's 16 to be named in convention Tuesday. NEW VOTES The Roosevelt forces, however, "expect to offset the loss of these 40 odd convention votes by capturing possibly all of the following: Kansas 20; New Mexico six; Montana eight; South Carolina 18; Vermont eight; District of Columbia, six; Tennessee 24; Oregon 10 and Nevada six. Those in Oregon and the District of Columbia will be selected in primaries; the others in state conventions. Roosevelt has no delegates in the field of New Jersey.

The delegation will be uninstructdd but controlled by Mayor Hague, who is allied with Smith. He reputedly favors Owen D. Young, however, as his first choice for the presidential nomination and either Newton D. Baker or Gov. Albert C.

Ritchie of Maryland as his second. Roosevelt will come to grips in Oregon's primary on Friday with Gov. Alfalfa Bill Murray of Oklahoma, over whom be has already scored smashing triumphs. 154 DELEGATES In all, 154 democratic delegates will be chosen this week to bring their total to 860. This will leave only 194 to complete their convention total.

Pres. Hoover, who needs only 44 more pledged votes to cinch re- nomination, is expected by his managers to pick up these easily out of the 87 republican delegates to be selected during the week as follows: New Jersey 35; Montana 11; Alabama 19; Vermont nine and Oregon 13. Little interest attaches to the republican selections. Entire Family Killed As Train Hits Auto GIBSON CITY, May 15.

He indicated weather o. so I refueled and took off flying the course Harry radioed me from aboard his ship in mid-ocean. The first hour was clear and cold and WOMAN AVENGES MURDER OF HUSBAND MELBOURNE, May 15 (JP) Mrs. L.

K. Smith, aged woman who lives about 12 miles south of here, avenged the slaying of her husband, who was shot to death by a negro marauder at their home early today, and later a coroner's jury exonerated her. The negro, identified as John Sims, robbed the chicken house of "the Smiths, killed them and put them in a sack, Authorities reconstructed it that Sims then noticed a light in the house, saw the aged man inside, and decided to rob him. The negro tied up a door to the room in which the 73-year-old beekeeper was sttting, and weit around and broke into a window near which Mrs. Smith was sleeping.

She cried out and her husband came out of another door and met the negro in the hall. Sims fired one charge of buck shot from a shotgun which killed Mr. Smith, but to make sure he crushed the victim's head with a piece of iron pipe. The negro then again entered Mrs. Smith's room but in the meantime she had picked up a small calibre rifle and as the killer advanced, she fired once.

The bullet struck Sims in the heart and after running about 30 steps he fell dead. Mrs. Smith, however, did not realize the negro was dead and from shortly after midnight until dawn when she could see, she stood by the door, gun in hand expecting another attack. As soon asshe realized the situation she notified the authorities. Troops Called Out To Halt Bombay Riot BOMBAY, May 15 (JP) Troop reinforcements were moved today into disturbed areas of Bombay where a casualty list of 24 dead and 400 injured has been piled up during two days of rioting by Hindus and Moslems.

Fifty of the injured were in serious condition. In six different parts of Bombay today the police fired into mobs. of Lindy Death Kept From Kidnap Jury CHICAGO, May 15 (JP) There rare at least 12 men in the United States who haven't heard the Lindbergh baby is dead and probably will not hear of it for several weeks. They are the jurors in the trial of four alleged members of a kidnaping syndicate which preyed on wealthy victims throughout the midwest. Attorneys fear they might be prejudiced against the defendants by the news.

Plunge Into see from the whitecaps that surface winds were southwest so I assumed my position to be north. Because of the night and poor visibility, plus my landing speed and the fact that I was tired I felt incapable of judging a forced landing. So when sighting the lights of the President Roosevelt, and still no land and with very little gas left, I decided there was only one thing to do and that was to set the Liberty down on the water. I signalled the boat to stand by and came down in the seat about 50 yards away. It was very dark and visibility so poor that I had to hang my head WASHINGTON, May 15.

When eight hours had passed I came down through a hole to have a look underneath.

The visibility was poor and I could see no indication of land, so I climbed up again over the clouds and flew another half hour. I repeated the same performance but still no land again at nine hours and at nine and one half hours there was still nothing but ater.
