Hauptmann Grilled in Kidnap for Ransom Case
Bruno Hauptmann, 35, sat emotionless in a Bronx courtroom as he was held without bail on a formal extortion charge linked to the Lindbergh kidnapping. New Jersey moved to extradite him on homicide charges, and detectives traced the $50,090 ransom, finding $13,750 in Hauptmann’s garage and noting past thefts in Germany. He appeared tired, answered in German-accented English, and claimed he entered the U.S. as a stowaway thirteen years ago.

Capone Reasons Amateur Kidnapper Likely Capone Belief
New York, Sept 21. Al Capone argued the Lindbergh kidnapping was the work of an amateur, not a major crime syndicate, and offered to aid a deal with federal officials for leniency. Federal authorities later echoed the amateur theory, noting most ransom money was found in New York City and suggesting organized crime had little role. The case had previously focused on Verne Sankey and Stewart Donnelly, but officials found no solid links to them.
