Hauptmann Defense Seeks Fisch Handwritings Link
In Flemington New Jersey on January 12 1935 the Hauptmann defense pressed handwriting experts to prove the ransom notes were written by Isador Fisch not Bruno Hauptmann. They argued Fisch collected and possibly authored the notes while prosecutors countered noting experts found the notes similar to Fischs script. The case centers on the Lindbergh kidnapping and ransom payment in 1932.
