Retired Reporter Tells Lindbergh KidnapStory Story Editor's Note: Samuel G. Blackformer General News Editor of man, Associated Press, covered the Lindbergh kidnap case when he was AP reporter. Blackman, now retired, tells the story of that tragedy. NEW YORK (AP) Forty-two years have passed since Col. Charles A.

Lindbergh's son, 19-month-old Charles Jr. was kidnaped from the Lindberghs' Sourland mountain home in Hopewell, N.J. Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a 36- year Jersey's Bronx electric carpenter, chair for died the in child's murder. But the thengovernor, the late Harold G. Hoffman, stirred wide controversy by expressing doubt even on the eve of the execution and many years later that Hauptmann committed the crime -or could have done it alone.

covered the kidnaping that blustery night of March 1, 1932, and the execution of Hauptmann the night of April 3, 1936. The case against him was largely one of circumstantial evidence and Hauptmann continued to insist he was innocent. In the intervening years there has never been a shred of evidence to alter the verdict that Hauptmann acted alone. The kidnaping was one of the nation's most celebrated criminal cases. The baby, first son of the famous flier and the former Anne Morrow, had been tucked early in the evening into his crib because he was suffering from a cold.

Several hours later, nursemaid Betty Gow visited the nursery on the second floor and found the re baby missing. Lindbergh, reading in the downstairs library, searched the nursery in vain. they have stolen our baby," he testified later that he told his wife. He notified the state police, took a rifle from a closet and began a search of the estate. He was accompanied by three state troopers when I came across him.

"I'm Col. said, introducing himself. "I can't say anything now." With flashlights blinking, he and two troopers continued the search. One stayed behind and related what was then known -Miss Gow had found the crib empty, and a $50,000 ransom note, a wooden ladder and a chisel had been found. Much of the case against Hauptmann turned on this ransom note (and on later ones) and on the ladder.

1 The original note, crudely and ungrammatically written, a demanded in $20 bills $15,000 in $10 bills and in bills." The note said: 2-4 days we will inform you where to deliver the money." The "signature" on the note, and promised on future ones, was' two interlapping circles with three square holes. Dr. John F. Condon, a Bronx schoolteacher, was named intermediary and became famous as "Jafsie" (from his iniitals J.F.C.). On the night of Aril 2, 1932, Condon paid the $50,000 to a man who from a hedge in a Bronx cemetery yelled, "hey, doctor" and again, "hey, doctor, over here." In return Condon got a note which said, "The boy is on the Boad Nelly you will find the Boad (cq) between Horseneck Beach and Gay Head near Elizabeth Island." presumably the waters off Martha's Vineyard, Mass.

Lindbergh searched there and in many other places in vain. For two months by land, sea and air he pursued flimsy clues and phantom ships and then learned when he returned May 12 from a search off the Virginia Capes that the child's body had been found in a shallow grave five miles from the Lindbergh home. Lindbergh had gone with Condon to the Bronx cemetery and had waited in a car. He was asked at Hauptman's arrest. The government had voice since?" "I have." "Whose voice was it?" "It was the voice of Bruno Richard Hauptmann." The ransom money led to Hauptmann's arrest.

The government had distributed 250,000 circulars giving the serial numbers of the notes $35,000 in gold certificates, $15,000 in other paper currency. On April 5, 1933, President Roosevelt, in a measure born of the depression, ordered that all persons possessing more than $100 of gold certificates ex change them by May for other currency at banks of the Federal Reserve System. On a central map at state police headquarters in Trenton, N.J., Col. H. Norman Schwarzkopf, the superintendent, stuck locator pin where each note was found.

Most of them were in the 'Bronx It was there that Walter Lyle, a gas station attendant, received a $10 gold note on September 15, 1934, and wrote on it the license number of the car whose driver bought five gallons gas. Hauptmann was arrested four days later. He had a $20 gold note on his person and in his garage they found $14,600 more. Hauptmann's been explanation him was in that the money had given shoe box by a friend and business Isidor Fisch, when Fisch left partner, for Germany. He died there before When Hauptmann this money was offered was arrested.

He conceded that all the ransom gold notes were never detected, saying that "several billions" of dollars worth of gold certificates had been exchanged and it had been impossible to detect every one. Wilentz could not be reached Monday, but he has told me in many interviews that nothing has ever been developed to change any of the testimony.

an interview on the 40th anniversary of the kidnaping he said: "Not one thing that I know of has developed since the trial that could cast doubt on the positive proof that the defendant wrote the ransom notes; nothing has developed to disprove that he hid the ransom money in his garage or that lumber from his attic was used in the construction of the ladder." Wilentz did say that "one thing that has nothing to do with the crime but has never been explained is that a man named Faulkner passed some of the ransom' A man who signed Faulkner" on a deposit slip ex changed $2,980 of the ransom gold notes at the Federal Reserve Bank in New York the day the gold embargo became effective. During subsequent investigation, the state said it checked "about 500 Faulkners." Defense counsel asked agent Wilson during crossex amination: Q. Don't you know that J.J. Faulkner of New York committed suicide shortly after knowledge that this ransom money had been turned into the Federal Reserve Bank? A. No sir.

Q. You never heard of a man J.J. Faulkner committing suicide in New York? A. I heard of a man named Faulkner but I don't remember if that were his initials. Q.

Were you informed that (a deposit slip) had been given a handwriting ex pert to compare with the handwriting of Mr. Hauptmann? A. Yes sir. Q. And were you informed what the result was? A.

That it was not in the same handwriting. Seven handwriting experts for the state compared the handwriting on the ransom notes with Hauptmann's handwriting and testified that Hauptmann wrote them all." Arthur Koehler, a wood technologist of the United States Forest Products Laboratory of Madison, one of the state's star witnesses, traced the wood in the kidnap ladder from a mill in McCormick, S.C., to boards from Hauptmann's attic. Koehler said a ladder rail had once been part of a floor board in the attic. Koehler said he laid the board on a joist in the attic and found the nail holes in the board matched those in the joist. "In my opinion it wouldn't be possible that there would have been another board somewhere with cut nail holes in them, spaced ex like these nail holes are in the joist, the same distance apart, the same direction from each other," he said.

One nail hole and a nail hole in the joist had the same slant, he said. Koehler said that knives with plane lumber at a mill often leave tell-tale markings on the wood. He said he detected a tiny groove which he knew had been made by a knife of a certain type. He spent 18 months checking 1,598 planing mills to trace the origin of the wood. Russell D.

The Rev. Martin J. Connolly will officiate. Burial will be in St: Joachim's Cemetery. One with markings spaced like those on the ladder rail led to the South Carolina firm, Koehler said.

He traced 45 carloads of lumber from the mill to 25 firms and in November 1933, 10 months before Hauptmann's arrest found a lumber company in the Bronx which had lumber with markings matching those on the ladder rail. Hauptmann had bought $10 worth of lumber there in 1931. "He has got this ladder right around his neck," Wilentz told the jury. Wilentz argued the ladder broke as Hauptmann was leaving the nursery "and down he went with this child." He said the child died instantly and then said of Hauptmann: "Knowing the child was dead he yanked and ripped that sleeping garment of that child off his body he didn't need the child he needed the sleeping garment some few miles away he scooped up a hastily improvised and shallow grave and put this child in it face downwards." Condon received the sleeping garment in the mail as proof that he was dealing with the right man. Hoffman, who had granted Hauptmann one 30-day reprieve the day before he was scheduled to die, said he shared "with hundreds of thousands of our people the doubt as to the value of the evidence that placed him in the Lindbergh nursery on the night of the crime I do doubt that this crime could have been committed by one man Hauptmann's appeal from the death sentence was carried to New Jersey's highest court which said: "Our conclusion is that the verdict is not only not contrary to the evidence but one to which the evidence inescapably led."
