Hauptmann Defense Seeks Handwriting Link To Ransom
In Flemington on January 25 the prosecution aimed to show that Bruno Hauptmann would implicate his dead partner Isador Fisch by claiming Fisch trusted him with ransom funds before returning to Germany. The defense cited student Ben Lupica who saw a man with a ladder near the Lindbergh home before the kidnapping, noting Lupica described the man as redfaced and fat while Hauptmann appeared pale and grave on the stand, and Hauptmann denied being at Hopewell or on the Lindbergh estate.
