Hauptmann Denies Abduction Link in Ransom Case
Bruno Hauptmann remained defiant through a two day cross examination in his trial for the Lindbergh baby murder. He smiled often and denied involvement in kidnapping murder or a ransom hoax while insisting on his story of money deals with Isaor Fisch. The prosecutor pressed with notes and letters, but Hauptmann clung to his alibi and questioned the questioning as he faced the end of the inquisition. His wife's testimony was delayed to tomorrow as the trial continued.
