Nurse in Lindbergh case quizzed on "Red" Johnson
Betty Gow, the Scottish nurse who cared for the Lindbergh baby, faced three hours of cross examination in court. She maintained calm while defense lawyers pressed the theory of an inside gang and recounted details of the night of the kidnapping and the baby’s garments. She collapsed in an anteroom after the session. Prosecutors note fingerprints found none in the nursery or on the ladder. Johnson, a sailor linked to a Morgan partner, had been questioned and later deported for illegal entry. The defense aims to show the crime was plotted by others, not Lindbergh family members.
