Confession Reported in Kidnap Case Pocatello Angle Aired
Police and Governor Horner continued probing a Chicago Bridewell prisoner's claim that Adolph Blaustein and Fred Monk possessed part of the Lindbergh ransom. Spitz, 52, said the pair showed two $5 notes and offered $22,000 of the money at 40 cents on the dollar. The inquiry links Blaustein to a Newark farmhouse stop and to a 1932 case, while other leads trace a separate Blaustein confession in Pocatello files.
