Threat Letter to First Lady Leads to Arrest in Lindbergh Case
A clumsy note threatening harm to President Roosevelt and his grandchildren led to the arrest of Benjamin Franklin Varn, 33, on charges under the Lindbergh law. The letter, sent to Mrs Roosevelt at the White House, demanded $168,000 or the president would be harmed and the president’s grandchildren kidnapped. Secret Service and NY police traced the note to Varn’s address at Willow Sloane House YMHA in New York where he was stopped. Varn, a former machinist in the Naval Aviation corps and Charleston, S.C. resident, was held for arraignment as investigators pursued details of the case.
