True. Consider for a moment what Cemetery John said to Condon during the lengthy conservation at Woodlawn Cemetery about
the kidnappers:
#1 was a high government officialth
#2 knew Condon
And that he himself (CJ( did not like what he was doing, but that they knew something about him.
These points are quite specific, and while Condon often gave various versions of his experiences, they do not seem
to be the product of an imagination or an attempt to avoid reality. What constitutes a "high government position"
may be subject to some interpretation, and many persons knew Condon, whether as a principal, through sports
(boxing esp.) or through unpleasant legal or personal matters. CJ. himself may have been a sickly individual with
some personal difficulties and therefore vulnerable, whether legal problems in his past, an embarrassing illness,
or sexuality. He would not want these to be known and became an unwilling accomplice, ready to talk with
Condon for over an hour even after no ransom would be paid that evening. Condon was a sympathetic listener,
and enjoyed the role, listening to a guilty man who was struggling with his role and knowing the consequences.
CJ may have been the same rep. who contacted Peter and Mary of the Divine Temple, giving them more information
than they needed to know, so much so that Mary confused her details. Peter had to correct her statement
(two days, not two weeks, an important point in the message). None of this points to Lindbergh. If CJ were
Hauptmann, he would not have stayed around to talk with Condon. Neither did he have the imagination to make
up these stories. CJ knew the details, knew the child was dead, knew what the consequences might be. The
talk was therapy of a sort as he worked with his feelings in a strange and unnecessary conversation that did
take place and lasted for over an hour. In developing a theory, an investigator must consider all details and not
just choose a few that seem to support his ideas while ignoring the everything that did occur but does not fit
his favorite theory.
