Hauptmann Denies Lindbergh Kidnapping Details in Court
In Flemington New Jersey Bruno Richard Hauptmann disputed the states charges in the Lindbergh baby case insisting the child was never seen alive or dead by him. He admitted possession of 14600 dollars from the ransom but said it was left by the dead Isador Fisch in a box in his garage and later moved. He denied being at Hopewell or in the Lindbergh nursery and challenged the theater ticket payment with a ransom bill. The courtroom heard his stern, guttural refusals to concede any element of the crime.
