Means Testifies on Lindbergh Kidnapping Details
Gaston B. Means, on trial for extortion in the Lindbergh case, testified he knew who kidnapped Lindbergh and what happened to the $50,000 ransom. He named two underworld figures Irvin Lenton and Wellington Henderson as planners and described a scheme to seize Lindbergh rather than the baby, aiming for a $500,000 payoff. The baby was said to have been taken to a long-used whiskey cave.
