Fisch kinships enter Hauptmann trial in Lindbergh case
In Flemington New Jersey Jan 15 1935 Isador Fisch died in Germany and his brother and two sisters arrived from Germany to bolster the defense against Hauptmann in the Lindbergh baby kidnapping trial. Witnesses included a nurse and a handwriting expert who identified Hauptmann’s hand as the ransom note author. The court heard cross examinations and state actions moved to speed trial rulings and possibly call a Cincinnati witness connected to a metal thumbguard claim.
