Evening star., 1935-01-03

Anybody that knew the child, any
member of the family, would know
right away that was the Little Eagle"
and so, of course, they took the child
and cremated the body and the ashes
were delivered to Col. Lindbergh.
The Lord moves in a mysterious
way His wonders to perform, as you
well know, and the first thing you
know a little gas station attendant in
the Bronx found the man that mur-
dered the Lindbergh child. He came
there with a $40 bill. He had to get
rid of the money.
He came there with $40 bill, 1t
was gold note, and the station at
tendant who was taking money all day
long hadn't seen much of that lately,
because the President of the United
States had called that gold in and
it was against the law to have 1t
and to hoard it. He said to Haupt-
mann: What about this, where did
you get this?" Oh. then. Hauptmann
knew he was in for little trouble.
What do you think he said? He said:
oh, have got a hundred of those"
just nonchalantly, "Oh, I have a
hundred of those" And of he drove.
And SO they finally arrested him.
They arrested him, and what do you
think he said when they found on his
person another Lindbergh bill?
Where did you get this?" they said.
Now, If he had gotten it honestly
he would have told them right then.
But what did he do? He said, this
is one of $500 that have saved up.
because I thought gold would be more
valuable, and got it from my friends
and from the banks, and had $500.
but this is the last; so they took him
to his home and they started a search.
Carpenter Found Money.
He knew they would not find 1t in
his home He had prepared for that.
They took him to the police station
| and they pleaded with him and they
| talked to him And then what?
Carpenters dug up l3 thousand some
hundred dollars Of United States
money-Lindbergh money. ransom
money And he was confronted with
that and he said, Yes, l buried that
away"
Where did you get it?" why,
partner of mine, an associate of mine
| friend of mine, now dead. gave 1t
| to me-" Is that all that you have
| got?" 'Yes. that is all
And at that very minute, when he
was again saying that that was all
he had and that the story which he
first told about the $40 bill. when he
admitted that that was untrue, and
then he gave his story. at that very
minute the police had more money.
| but he insisted that was all. and
when he finished that statement, Dis
trict Attorney Samuel Foley said to
him, How about this eight hundred
and some dollars?"
And he said. yes. didn't tell you
the truth. That is Lindbergh money,
too" That is Lindbergh money. too.
And there. right in the house, hidden
on an inside closet wall in his own
admitted handwriting, there was the
address and telephone number of Dr.
John F. Condor, in his baby's closet,
on the inside. A little closet. You
would have to get in on the inside apd
be-well, you would have to be the
type of man of Hauptmann to get in
there.
Asked About Condon's Name.
In his own handwriting. and he is
/ asked: why did you write Condon's
name on there?"
| Why did you write Condons name
on there?"
why. you know. I had funny
habit liked to write telephone num-
bers or addresses"
He didn't have anything else in the
whole house. And in that search, in
that search we found the answer to
the ladder.
Now, one year about. before Haupt-
mann was arrested. one year before
! any of us knew that there was such
person in existence. the United
| States Government had traced to the
Bronx Lumber Yard Co., or the Bronx
Lumber Corp, they had traced some
Of the lumber, they knew that ladder
had been made of lumber, some parts
of which came from the Bronx
Lumber yards.
When Hauptmann was arrested.
what do you suppose We find? We
| find he worked at the Bronx Lumber
Yards. he bought lumber there, but
not only that, he has got this ladder
right around his neck; he took part
of that attic of his and built the lad
der with it-and we will prove that
to you beyond any doubt.
Ladder from Attic.
One rung of that ladder, one side
OF that ladder, comes right from his
attic, put on there with his tools.
| We will prove 1t to you, no matter
how difficult it may sound-we will
prove it to you so that there will be
no doubt about 1t.
Now, of course, this is like most
crimes.
There has to be motive for it,
and you probably know it by this time.
You can be sure Charles A. Lindbergh,
jr.. did not attack Hauptmann; it
was not in self-defense; it was not
because of any provocation or any
thing that he had against Col.
Lindbergh.
He committed this crime, he had
| planned it for months, because he
wanted money-money-mo
of money he wanted, and ne got II.
What do you suppose he wanted 1t
for. and what do you suppose he did
with it? He wanted that money so
| he could do as he did: Live life
of luxury and ease so he would not
have to work.
Quit Job Day He Got Money.
He quit his job the day he collected
the 1000, the very day; they had to
replace him; so that he could do as
he did: Live life of luxury and ease.
So he could go to Florida, so he could
have a boat on Hunters Island and
| other places, SO he could have a radio,
in the midst of the worst depression
of this land, in May, 1892. He spends
S4O0 for a radio.
Not only that: So that he could as
| he did gamble and speculate with
