Hauptmann Ransom Notes Key Defense Focus at Trial
In New Jersey, Richard Hauptmann’s defense seeks to prove the ransom notes were written by a man named Fisch and not Hauptmann. Defense attorney Edward J. Reilly says Fisch both collected and wrote parts of the notes, while prosecutors counter that handwriting experts show Hauptmann’s authorship and that Fisch acted only as a conduit. Additional testimony concerns other ransom bills found and whether Hauptmann knew of them before his arrest.
