Letter from Hauptmann found hidden in prison papers
A German letter written by Bruno Hauptmann to his mother, stored for decades by Col. Mart. Kimberling, hints at possible doubt about Hauptmann’s guilt in the Lindbergh baby murder. The letter was not mailed, citing press concerns, and copies surfaced through The Associated Press and The New York Daily News. Hauptmann, executed in 1936 after 14 months on death row, asserts no direct knowledge of the crime and criticizes his trial counsel.
