Hoffman's statement on Parker doubts Hauptmann in Lindbergh case
Governor Harold G. Hoffman said Ellis Parker, Burlington county detective, is under the impression Hauptmann is not the Lindbergh kidnapper. Parker, called into the case by Governor A. Harry Moore, has faced state troopers blocking access to records as private groups probe the crime. If the US Supreme Court acts slowly, Hoffman warned, Hauptmann's case may come before New Jersey’s Court of Pardons as the governor weighs justice.
