H. SMITH CO. for Insurance That Insures AT ALL TIMES. I Police Discount Womans Story Of Being Tendered Ransom Bill HOPEWELL, N. Apr.

12. (UP) New "Jafsie negotiations for the return of the kidnaped son of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh were Indicated today following two mysterious trips by Dr. John P.

Condon who paid $50,000 ransom money to purported kidnapers in the double cross deal. The 70-year-old Fordham University lecturer, whose "Jafsie messages In New York newspapers are credited with establishing contact with the kidnapers retains the confidence of Col. Lindbergh. This fact Jent weight to Condons renewed activity. Col.

Lindbergh has heard "nothing further from the kidnapers," the last bulWtln by the New Jersey State Police stated. If' any contact is made, the bulletin continued, that can be revealed, immediate notice of same will be filed through Trenton. Nothing of importance has developed. CARRIED SUITCASES Condon's secret errands were considered significant because on his first trip from his Bronx home he carried two suitcases. Either one of these, it was pointed out, would afford ample room for $50,000 in currency of $20, $10 and $5 denominations, the same as made up the ransom money.

When Condon returned after being absent about an hour and a half, he did not have the suitcases. Shortly after his return, he departed on a second mission, as mysterious as the first. On the first trip, Condon used a chauffeur-driven car bearing a New Jersey license, the same as carried by a machine officially connected with the Lindbergh search. On the next trip he entered a small coupe, believed to belong to A1 Reich, a former pugilist associated with Condon in his negotiations. REFUSES TO TALK Condon returned from his second trip last night with two suitcases.

He refused to give any report on his activities or to say whether he had established a new contact with the kidnapers. GREENWICH, Apr. 12. (U.PJ Greenwich police werq inclined today to discount the story of Ella De Corneille, manager of a pastry shop, to the effect that a fashionably dressed woman offered one of the Lindbergh case bills to her yesterday in payment for a small purchase. Mrs.

De Corneille said the $20 bill the woman handed her bore the number KB03387539A one of the bills listed by the Treasury department as having been incluued in the $50,000 ransom Col. Charles A. Lindbergh to a person representing himself to be an agent of the kidnapers. The possibility that Mrs. De Corneille did not read the number on the bill correctly was expressed by police.

They anticipate a countrywide wave of money clues as a result of publication of the serial numbers.
