Hauptmann Arrest Signals Lindbergh Case Breakthrough
The arrest of Bruno Richard Hauptmann in New York City marks a move toward solving the Lindbergh baby kidnapping and murder. Authorities say Hauptmann, a 35-year-old German alien, admitted employment as a carpenter near the Lindbergh home and linked ransom payments to him. Evidence includes a $10 gold certificate, $13,750 found in his Bronx garage, matching ransom notes, handwriting ties, and access to the lumber yard with a distinctive mark. The case involves multiple agencies and the Lindberghs, who were in Los Angeles.
