Judge Holds Tet Mon y on Bills Invalid
In Flemington New Jersey on February 6, Richard Hauptmann's defense sought to prove Lindbergh kidnap victim’s ransom money and Fisch wealth. The court allowed testimony on Fisch's wealth and notes linked to Lindbergh funds to show possible ransom connections despite objections. The defense argued the money shown by Fisch to Hauptmann and subsequent notes formed part of the Lindbergh ransom. The trial focus moved to whether the money displayed by Fisch was ransom money, with the judge proceeding as the defense pressed to prove a chain of possession and concealment.
