Hauptmann Defense Pressed As Fisch Accused Of Lindbergh Ransom
In Flemington New Jersey on February 5 1935 the Hauptmann defense won three legal skirmishes. They accused Isador Fisch of collecting the 50000 Lindbergh ransom and sought to reveal visits by Fisch to a Bayside Long Island woman in 1933 with packages. Court suppressed Schwarzkopf press releases and limited a subpoena to compel release documents. A theater patron was barred from testifying to attack the memory of a state witness who said Hauptmann spent ransom money on November 26 1933. The defense also tried to hint at Dr John Cond on mental condition and questioned taxi driver Phillip Moses about four men near the graveyard on the night of the payment.
