Wow! Your grandfather covered the Lindbergh Baby case! I read the Journal-American as a little kid in it’s last few years before it went under. Great paper. Anything else your grandfather said about the case?

Some interesting stories. The nursery’s 2nd story window was open so they couldn’t get Bruno on breaking in. But he had to un-clip some safety pins holding the blanket over the baby. That got him him a breaking and entering charge. My parents had some (business) contact with Hauptman’s widow, years later. She swore her husband was innocent. The story was they had a German visitor who grabbed the child, dropped him by accident, killing him and burying the body, getting the ransom money and leaving the country before things got too hot.
