Widow of Lindbergh kidnap case backs Swedish tale
Mrs Anna Hauptmann, widow of Bruno Hauptmann, denounces a Swedish account of the Lindbergh kidnapping as a fabrication. Gunnar Svedberg, a Swedish painter, allegedly told the American consul in Stockholm that a five-man gang and a woman staged the crime and Hauptmann was not involved. The story sparked renewed claims of exoneration as officials warn the tale is fanciful.
