Just what "frameup" of Hauptmann occurred and why was Gen. Schwartzkopf's father responsible? Hauptmann was arrested in possession of the certificates paid out as ransom money; the ladder used to steal the infant was made from wood in his attic; he had been arrested previously for kidnapping children in Germany; he could not account for his whereabouts on the night of the kidnapping. I could go on and on; Hauptmann was convicted of kidnapping and murder by 12 honest citizens and was rightly put to death by the State of New Jersey for it -- where is the frameup, sir?

There are many strange things about this case. One is that a leading politician wanted to re-open the case. The Lindberg family got in a huff and left the country at the thought of it. It ended the career of the politician because everyone identified with the parents.

In my opinion, leaving the country was a definite sign of unease over a new investigation. If someone murdered my child, I would want all the information. I would not leave the country in a snit.
