NEW YORK, November 26.-The
chief investigator for Bruno Richard
Hauptmann declared today that he
had learned on ''unimpeachable au-
thority" that Lindbergh ransom bills
have turned up recently in Boston
and Worcester, Mass.
The Department of Justice in New
York said I'VE have no information
on this matter"
II have been informed" the in
vestigator said, that almost $700 in
Lindbergh ransom money has been
received by the Boston Federal Re-
serve Bank since Hauptmann'S arrest.
1t is continuing to show up. My au-
thority is unimpeachable, despite the
denials Of police"
Letter Is Disclosed.
The investigator, who requested
that his name be withheld, said he
had recently found in a house near
Ashby, Mass, letter dated March 10,
1892, 10 days after the Lindbergh
baby was kidnapped, which read, in
part:
Why don't you return that poor
little Lindbergh baby? You have had
it long enough"
He said the writer and recipient OF
the letter were known and that he
would soon have "a full accounting
from them"
In the same house, the investigator
said, he found wood similar" to that
used in the ladder believed to have
been used in gaining access to the
Endbergh nursery.
"It's the same type" he remarked
"and I'm having it examined by ex-
perts"
He cited reports that the same
house yielded ransom bills as "abso-
lutely wrong" and added, Il wish 1t
had, however"
Fisher Receives Report.
c. Lloyd Fisher, Pennington, N. J.,
chief of counsel for Hauptmann, has
received copy Of the report of the
Massachusetts, investigation, the in
vestigator said.
Fisher did not reveal what new
evidence" the defense was developing
but it was known a defense attorney
recently received a telegram from a
special investigator" in Tacoma,
Wash, saying he had evidence the
Lindbergh baby still lives.
Hauptmann, meanwhile, passed his
37th birthday anniversary in his cell
in the death house at State prison.
He awaited a visit from his wife.
Anna.
Besides handwriting and wood, the
investigator said, several articles used
by baby were found in the house, as
well as newspaper clippings of other
kidnapings executed, in some respects,
similar to that of the Lindbergh baby.
The investigator said that the ran
som bills not traced to Hauptmann
were all peculiarly folded, twice across
and once down.
The investigator said that while he
was not adequately versed in chirog-
raphy to ascertain the handwriting on
the ransom notes was the same as that
on the letter found near Ashby, he
had discovered several characteristics
identical in both scripts.
These, he said, were curlecues and
dots that had been found by at least
one handwriting expert, but never
introduced as evidence.
