New Panel to Be Asked in Kidnap Case
Modern legal wrangle over Hauptmann trial prompts bid for a new jury panel after charges that a satirical pamphlet mailed to jurors tampered with the process. Chicago lawyer Mary Belle Spencer defends the work as fiction aimed at mocking the legal system. Prosecution links the pamphlet to an alleged attempt to bias the Lindbergh kidnapping jury. Col Lindbergh and Col Schwarzkopf named in the pamphlet are cited in the case context.
