Capone Offers Bond and Hostage to Seek Lindbergh Baby
Washington officials show little enthusiasm for Al Capone's offer to post any bond and substitute his brother as a hostage to aid the Lindbergh baby search. Mitchell says the proposal is not official and would go to the circuit court if raised. Internal Revenue seeks Capone assets to cover $336,000 back taxes, doubting he has funds to post a bond. In Florida, Miami police question John Norman Brett as an associate of Lindbergh household servants, while a New Jersey case remains unresolved amid a curtain of mystery over the kidnapping.
