Condon recounted how he prom
ised to help John al] possible if he
cooperated, “ ‘but if you fail me,
I'll follow you to Australia.’”
““We won't. You will get that
baby and put it in its mothers
arms.’”
“‘Are you a German?’” Condon
said he asked him and “John" re
plied:
“No, a Scandinavian.”
John also told him that night the
abduction had been “prepared a

when Jafsie pleaded to be taken
to the baby, the witness continued
‘You have nothing to be atraid
of I've been square al] my life

“I'll go as a hostage to the man
who has the baby. I have 3 toys
belonging to the baby.
“I couldn’t see the child,” Condon
continued to relate,
“He said they'd ‘drill’ him.
“I said, ‘don’t be afraid. Do what
yvou think is right, Do it for your
mothers sake.”
Condon said he urged the ransom
collector to take him to the baby.
“TPhat was all T wanted,” he de
clared, “to take that baby back te
its mother’'s arms.”
“He said they’'d flash a Hght from
a boat,” Condon went on. “And 1}
said Col. Lindbergh would go any
where in a plane to recover his lit

Condon continued, “he said he'd
send me the baby’s sleeping suit,”
“Is this it?”
Wilentz handed him an exhibit.
“That is the baby's sl€eping suit
I received,” Condon said.
Condon said the cemetery con

Diversion of Highway Funds Likely to
Have Little Opposition in Legislature
ATLANTA — (#) — The ques
tion of diverting highway depart
ment fumf.q for other purposes in
Georgia, which in sessions past
met with loud protest, apparently
has little opposition within or with
out the legislature this time.
ißolitical circles at the capitol
show little interest in the matter,
At the 1933 session of the gen
eral assembly, and the on= before
that, the question was Dbattered
down by opposition from {wo ang
les—the highway department and
the members of the legislature
themselves. !
Roy V. Harris, now representa
tive from Richmond county, third
diversion in the senate sométime
back and again in the house in 1933.
. This time it's one of the five
Pplanks in Governor Talmadge's
program.
But now the highway department
is a Talmadge setup, and adminis
tration look upon both the senate
and the house as a Talmadge com
bination.
So the diversion of $2,000,000 of
highway funds derived from the
gasoline tax is conceded to be
among the first stéps of the new
assembly, which convenes on next
Monday. It will require an act of
the legislature. )
The governor proposes to pay off
a part of the state’s indebtedness
to the schools and the Confederate
pension fund.
The auditor's office today said
the state owes to schools a total ol

The proposal which the Ameri

a complete systera. of publ'®iiy on

with wide appraval.
In a committee report to the

cognizance of is the $26,531,533.52

the rate of 10 per cent annually
