Experts Say Impossibile in Fourteen Notes in Hauptmann Trial
In Flemington New Jersey January 16 experts testified Hauptmann’s handwriting matched the Lindbergh ransom notes. Defense cross examined on whether a skilled imitator could forge the writing, with Cassidy and Souders asserting possible but unlikely imitation for fourteen letters. The debate centers on who authored both the ransom notes and related writings, with the potential shift of guilt toward Fisch if a forgery is established.
