Hauptmann trial evidence defense claims summarized
The state contends Hauptmann possessed nearly 15000 dollars of ransom funds and used the rest for stock dealings. It cites handwriting on ransom notes and a panel with Dr Condon Lindbergh’s address as proof he committed the kidnapping and murder. The defense argues ransom notes were forged, Hauptmann’s wealth came from stock plays, and identifications were baseless with alibis supported by witnesses. The handwriting experts dispute the state’s claims and allege the tanser money and notes were misattributed.
