Hauptmann Evidence to Be Used in Lindbergh Trial
Hauptmann notebooks on expenses will be used to link the 50000 dollar ransom to the Lindbergh case. A prosecution witness will testify to money hidden in a cabinet in the Hauptmann home and Betty Gow will say the Lindbergh baby was dead as he passed the scene. The state aims to rebut Hauptmann’s claim the ransom money came from Isadore Fisch and was not known until the box was opened after rainwater leaked in.
