Hauptmann Charged With Lindbergh Baby Killing
The New Jersey grand jury charged Bruno Richard Hauptmann with killing Baby Charles Lindbergh and with kidnapping the child two years ten months earlier. Prosecutor William M. Wirz described the kidnapping and murder in lurid detail before a court that included Col. Charles A Lindbergh and Anne Morrow Lindbergh. The defense requested a mistrial, which was denied, as Wirz detailed the ladder seizure, the ripped sleeping garment, and a grave the killer prepared before continuing with the ransom plot.
