The Lindbergh Murders
HAUPTMANN WAS INNOCENT
The Prosecution And Defense Combined To Frame Him
By Eustace Mullins
Why did Charles Lindbergh perjure himself to send an
innocent man to the electric chair ? Would the arrest of the murderers of
the Lindbergh child have prevented the entry of the
These questions are raised, but not
answered by a painstaking examination of the Lindbergh kidnapping in "Scapegoat" by Anthony Scaduto. Published two years ago, it proves that Hauptmann was innocent and that he was convicted solely by
suborned perjury from the Jewish prosecutor, David Wilentz.
Scaduto found the paybook
of Reliance Property Management and photographed the page showing that Hauptmann was working in
When J. Edgar Hoover learned that the
Jewish prosecutor Wilentz was manufacturing evidence
and preparing a horde of perjured witnesses to testify in the Hauptmann trial, he hastily withdrew the cooperation of the
FBI in the prosecution. Foreseeing a complete debacle, he remarked to his
associate, Clyde Tolson, "Goddamit,
I don’t know if Hauptmann is going to jail, but
I’m sure Wilentz will." Governor
Hoffman of
Historians tell us that the First World
War was triggered by the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand. It was not
until the Scaduto book appeared that this writer
realized that the Second World War actually began on March 1, 1932, when the
Lindbergh child was kidnapped and ritually murdered. It was a year and a
half later that the Jewish leader Samuel Untermyer
formally declared war on
For more than two years, the Scaduto revelations have ticked away like a time bomb,
threatening to topple the unholy combine of Jewish officialdom and the
Jewish-controlled press which holds power in the
It becomes the task of this writer to
answer the questions raised by the Scaduto
book. Why did the world’s most famous hero, Charles Lindbergh,
cooperate with the murderers of his child and perjure himself to send an
innocent victim to death ? A typical gentile, he was putty in the hands
of the wily Jew, Wilentz, who quickly converted him
into a robot-like shabez goy, repeating only what he
had been told to say. The facts are a matter of record. On the
night of April 2, 1932, Lindbergh had accompanied his go-between, Dr. Condon,
known as Jafsie, to St. Raymond’s Cemetery in
To understand Wilentz’
predicament, we should realize that he was a typical Jewish fraud and
loudmouth. Although he was prosecuting the most publicized case in
American history, Wilentz had never before tried a
criminal case of any case ! Like most Jewish officials, he had not been
elected to the office of Attorney General of the State of
Seeing that the case was going against
him, with the possibility that Hauptmann would be freed
and that investigators might then discover the true murderers, Wilentz was forced to play his last card. He had a
hurried conference with Lindbergh in his office.
"Mistuh
Lintbug," he said hoarsely (a New York
University graduate, Wilentz usually was well spoken,
but like many Jews, when agitated, he reverted to a thick Yiddish accent)
"Mistuh Lintbug,
this monster is going to be set free ... unless," He turned away from
Lindbergh and suddenly whirled back towards him, his outstretched forefinger
almost poking Lindbergh in the eye, "unless you go out there and tell
the jury that Hauptmann’s voice is the man you
heard in the cemetery !"
"But I can’t do that,"
protested Lindbergh. "You know I’ve already testified
before the grand jury that I can’t identify Hauptmann’s
voice."
"That doesn’t matter,"
Wilentz reassured him. "Those grand
jury records are sealed. No one will ever see them. Besides, Reilly
[Hauptmann’s lawyer] doesn’t know
about it."
"It doesn’t seem right,
somehow," said Lindbergh.
"You know that this man
murdered your child," said Wilentz.
"I know it. But that jury still doesn’t believe it.
You’re the only one who can convince them. You must decide
now. Is this man going to pay the penalty for his crime, or not
?"
A typical goy in the hands of the
clever Jew, Lindbergh agreed. Coached by Wilentz,
he returned to the courtroom, and testified, "I heard very clearly a
voice coming from the cemetery ... In a foreign accent, ‘Hey
Doctor’ ... That was Hauptmann’s voice."
Reporters in the courtroom noted that
as Lindbergh spoke, the wife of the accused, Anna Hauptmann,
stared directly at him as her lips moved to form the words, "You
lie."
Adela Rogers St. John who was William Randolph Hearst’s
resident sob sister, wrote that afternoon, "Watching Lindbergh today in
this ordeal I cannot believe he would swear away the life of any man unless he
was sure. Automatically, I looked at the jury, even before I looked at Hauptmann. Yes."
Adela Rogers St. John knew that Lindbergh had just condemned Hauptmann to death. She did not know that he had
previously testified the opposite to the grand jury, or that he had been
suborned to commit perjury by Wilentz, as had so many
other witnesses in this case. However, her unusual credentials should
have told her something was wrong. The daughter of a brilliant attorney
named Earl Rogers, she had grown up in the courtroom, and was famous for her
instincts as to whether a witness was telling the truth, and how a jury would
vote. Most importantly here, she did not say that she believed
Lindbergh’s testimony. She said the jury believed it, which they
did.
Wilentz had achieved one vital goal; he had turned the
trial into a circus. Hundreds of reporters and thousands of spectators
had swarmed into the little town of
Hearst himself had abandoned his wife
and children to live with a cheap showgirl. As a result, he was no longer
received in polite society, and he was reduced to entertaining the Jewish offal
of the silver screen in his
Although Hauptmann
knew that all of Wilentz’ witnesses were
perjuring themselves, including Lindbergh, he never had an inkling that he had
been set up with Reilly as his attorney. The $300,000 fee proved to be a
profitable investment for Hearst, as his accountants later found that the
additional revenues generated by the coverage of the trial totalled
more than eight million dollars !
Although Hauptmann’s
entire defense consisted of his story that he had legitimately acquired the
ransom money, not knowing this was the result of a crime, Reilly did nothing to
develop witnesses or evidence which would corroborate this story, nor did any
of the hundreds of reporters who swarmed into Flemington. Yet forty years
later, Scaduto was able to find reams of evidence
corroborating every detail of Hauptmann’s
claims. He had for several years been a partner with a Jew named Isidor Fisch, buying, trading and
selling furs and other commodities in a small way with their very limited
capital. He had no idea that Fisch was a
notorious confidence man. One of Fisch’s
coups had been to take Al Capone for twenty thousand dollars, but instead of winding
up in the bay, he had slick talked Capone until the supposedly vicious thug had
laughed and said, "Oh, hell, forget it." On December 6, 1933, Fisch owed Hauptmann more than
five thousand dollars. On that day, he sailed to
When Fisch
did not return, Hauptmann opened the box. He
saw the ransom money. Not knowing that Fisch
had set him up, he began to spend part of it, offsetting the $5,500 Fisch owed him. However, he did keep meticulous notes
of money taken from the box, indicating that he expected Fisch
to return for an accounting. Unlike Hauptmann, Fisch had been definitely linked to the Lindbergh
household, for he had been seen a number of times with a twenty-eight year old
English girl, Violet Sharpe, who worked there as a maid. After the police
questioned her about the kidnapping, on June 10, 1932, she was found dead at
the Morrow household. A can of potassium cyanide was nearby.
There was no record of its purchase by anyone in the household, and it could
not be traced to any store in
Throughout the trial, the news media
conditioned the American people to accept as a fact Hauptmann’s
guilt. Newsboys screamed on the street corners of the nation.
"Burn Hauptmann". One reporter, Eddie
Mahar, persistently described Hauptmann
in his daily stories as "the Nazi monster", even though he knew that Hauptmann had no connection with any political groups in
either
Convinced by Lindbergh’s
testimony, the jury brought in a unanimous verdict of "Guilty".
Hauptmann was sentenced to die in the electric
chair. Throughout the trial, his wife had been warned to stay out of the
hall when Lindbergh was coming into the courtroom, as he dared not face
her. He told the bailiffs he would never enter the courtroom until they
assured him that Anna Hauptmann had already gone in
and was seated.
Several Christians, aware that Hauptmann had been railroaded, now began a desperate
struggle to save his life. At their own expense, and with no personal
involvement in the case, they sought only to work for justice. One of
these men was Ellis Parker, former chief of detectives of Burlington, New
Jersey, and considered one of the most brilliant and incorruptible detectives
in America. Having known Lindbergh’s father-in-law, Dwight Morrow,
for some years, he went to Morrow and told him how Wilentz
had faked the evidence. He asked only that Morrow persuade Lindbergh to
ask for a commuted sentence to life imprisonment while he gathered evidence on
the real killers. Morrow’s health was failing rapidly, as he had
been overcome by the horrible death of his grandson and the resulting
publicity. Nevertheless, in June of 1935, he summoned Lindbergh for a
confidential talk. "Charles," he said, "you must ask the
Governor to commute Hauptmann’s sentence, at
least for the time being."
"Never," replied Lindbergh,
"he must pay the full penalty for his crime." "I
didn’t want to tell you this," said Morrow, "but Hauptmann is innocent." "I heard the
evidence against him," said Lindbergh.
"It was all faked," said
Dwight Morrow. "I know that from an unimpeachable source."
"But the money!" exclaimed
Lindbergh.
"The money was real," said Dwight
Morrow, "but Hauptmann was set up.
Can’t you understand ? He wasn’t the man in the
cemetery."
"But I identified him," said
Lindbergh.
"Any lawyer knows your testimony
was worthless," said Dwight Morrow. "Reilly should have invoked
the doctrine of familiarity. In a capital crime, you can’t identify
a voice you have heard on only one occasion. Yet Reilly didn’t
challenge your testimony. Do you know why ?"
"No," said Lindbergh.
"I do," said Dwight Morrow.
"He was paid to see that Hauptmann would be
convicted. Any competent attorney would have had your testimony stricken,
and the jury would have been told to disregard it."
"Even if that’s true,"
said Lindbergh, "I can’t take back my testimony."
"You don’t have to,"
said Dwight Morrow. "Just ask for a commutation of the death
penalty. I’ve never asked you for anything, Charles, but I must ask
you, in the name of Heaven, to do this. I don’t have much time
left, and I don’t want to see another death added to those of young
Charles and Violet Sharpe. Call the Governor today."
"I won’t do it,"
exclaimed Lindbergh. "Why, I’d look like a fool !"
"Please," said Dwight Morrow,
half rising from his bed.
"Never!" exclaimed Lindbergh.
Dwight Morrow fell back in complete
collapse, and died. Lindbergh never mentioned this conversation to his
wife, claiming that his father-in-law died without speaking.
[and this
death-bed conversation was related to us how ?]
Ellis Parker now enlisted the aid of
the newly elected Governor of New Jersey, Harold Hoffman. When he was
shown the evidence of Wilentz’ perfidy, Hoffman
began a frenetic campaign to have Hauptmann
freed. Schwartzkopf and Wilentz
blocked every move he made. J. Edgar Hoover admitted to him that he had
withdrawn from the case, but refused to let Hoffman use the FBI files which
showed that the evidence against Hauptmann had been
faked by the New Jersey State Police. The press launched a nationwide
campaign of ridicule against him. The condemned man wrote a despairing
letter which was printed in Liberty Magazine. Hauptmann
said of those who had framed him, "their suffering, their agony, will be
greater than mine. Mine will be over in a moment. Theirs will last
as long as life itself."
Governor Hoffman told Wilentz that if he ever dared to run for public office, he
would expose his handling of the Lindbergh trial. Wilentz
settled down to practice corporation law; soon, he was earning five
hundred thousand dollars a year. Much of his work consisted of handling
business matters for the Mafia. He represented the Mafia leader Anthony Rosso in a series of multi-million dollar deals.
Eventually, he had his revenge on Governor Hoffman. He and other Jews
framed Hoffman for income tax evasion. Hoffman had been wont to entertain
groups of politicians and journalists at a night spot in
Meanwhile, Ellis Parker had located the
real kidnapper of the Lindbergh child, a man named Paul Wendel. Wendel had been Isidor Fisch’s lawyer, and
had regularly dated Violet Sharpe, who set up the kidnapping. Wendel’s sister lived behind St. Raymond’s
Cemetery. This was the reason this spot had been chosen for the delivery
of the ransom money. Parker had Wendel sign a
full confession. When he turned Wendel over to
the police, Wendel immediately repudiated the
confession and accused Parker of kidnapping him ! Parker and his son were
convicted under the new Lindbergh kidnapping law, and sent to Lewisburg
prison. A few months later, Parker died in prison. His gallant
effort to aid Hauptmann had cost him his life.
On March 31, 1936, Richard Hauptmann was electrocuted for a crime he had not
committed. To the end, the press, showing its consistent bias, referred
to him as "Bruno" Hauptmann. Although
his first name was Bruno, he had never liked it, and had been known as Richard Hauptmann throughout his stay in
As this writer has spent thirty years investigating
Jewish ritual murder, the entire handling of the Lindbergh investigation shows
the typical reactions of Jews to this crime ... the furious activity of Jewish
officials such as Wilentz to cover up all traces of
the true murderers, and to find a gentile victim who can be accused of the
crime. Was it a coincidence that Richard Hauptmann
shared his home in the
The attack of the agents on their home
left a permanent scar on the young Charles Lindbergh. This fear was
aggravated by the insecurities he developed when his parents separated during
his adolescence. Overcompensating for this, he threw himself into the study
of mechanics, and resolved to devote his life to flying. Soon he had his
own plane. One of his first assignments was to fly his father around the
state on a new campaign to regain his seat in Congress. The Jews
sabotaged his plane, and he crashed, but due to his great skill, he brought the
plane down without injuring himself or his father. The crash put an end
to his father’s hopes of a successful campaign, and he died a broken
man. It was then that Divine Providence selected the young Lindbergh as
the new champion of
Nothing less can explain the hysterical
outpouring of joy which greeted him when he landed at Le Bourget
field. He had already been given up for dead, and for the rest of his
life he would be known as "Lucky Lindy". Others nicknamed him
the "Lone Eagle". Instantaneously, he became the most famous
hero in the world. Because Movietime News
filmed his takeoff, his flight also inaugurated the era of sound in films.
All of Lindbergh’s predecessors
who had attempted to fly the
Dwight Morrow, Lindbergh’s
father-in-law to be, had been a member of the famous Wall Street law firm of
Simpson, Thacher and Bartlett, when the great J.P.
Morgan himself, struck by Morrow’s burgeoning reputation, asked him to
draft the legal provisos of the Panama Canal treaties. Morrow’s
work on these treaties was superb. For many years, the Communists have
sought to abrogate these treaties, but to the present day they have been
unsuccessful. Convinced of Morrow’s capabilities, Morgan summoned
him to his office and informed him that he was to be a full partner in J.P.
Morgan Co., with an assured income of one million dollars a year. After
several years with J.P. Morgan, he amassed a fortune and went into public life,
becoming a candidate for the Senate, and was later appointed Ambassador to
Lindbergh’s marriage to the
daughter of one of the world’s leading international bankers is one of
the keys to the mystery of his life. It explains his lifelong silence
about the Federal Reserve System, despite his father’s courageous
opposition to it, an achievement of which any son should be proud.
Overnight, the penniless flier had become a worldwide hero and a member of one
of the world’s most influential families. This financial security
was intended to provide a platform from which he could proceed on this Divine
mission and carry on his father’s work against the Jewish monetary
lords. Instead, Lindbergh became moody and irritable, spurning the
adulation of the American people. His wife abetted his reaction by
encouraging him to retreat into the pleasant and secluded lifestyle of the very
rich. Throughout their life together, Anne Lindbergh persisted in leading
the lifestyle of a typical suburbanite, with a large staff to maintain her home
while she wrote lightweight "philosophical" books propounding a
vaporous Junior League attitude towards the real problems of the world, from
which she was comfortably insulated by her inherited fortune. Her
writings which would never have been published for anyone with a less famous
name, were ecstatically received by the Jewish publishing world in

In thirty years study of cases of
Jewish ritual murder, this writer has found that in almost every case, the

The Lindbergh murder was unusual in
that the victim was from a rich and influential family, but pressing
considerations were at stake in this case. The entire Jewish program for
the world was imperilled by the possible candidacy of
Charles Lindbergh for President. Also, Lindbergh himself was a member of
no political group or organization, and stood entirely alone. The money
belonged to his wife’s family. He had no official position or
influence. The very modest ransom demand of $50,000 indicated that this
was no ordinary kidnapping case, as the son of a world-famous hero and the
grandson of a J.P. Morgan partner would have brought a demand for at least
$100,000 !
From the very outset, Lindbergh was
inundated by visits from apparently deranged persons who offered false clues,
improbable stories, fake letters and other maneuvers designed to prevent him from
uncovering any leads to the kidnappers of his child. The Jews Wilentz and Schwartzkopf never
presented a single legitimate clue in the case ! Instead, they
manufactured an impressive array of completely false evidence ! Lindbergh
was so demoralized by this campaign that when he was notified that the
child’s body was in the morgue, he walked in, hastily glanced at it, and
turned away. "Yes," he said, "that is my son."
In fact, he did this solely to spare his wife further grief over the missing
child. The body shown was two inches taller than the Lindbergh child, and
completely decomposed, so that no identification was possible. The
Lindbergh doctor, who had examined the child a few days before the kidnapping,
Dr. Phillip Van Ingen, declared there was no way he
could identify this body !
After the trial, the Lindberghs went to
"Mr. Lindbergh," said the
caller, "you must cancel all of your public appearances immediately."
"Why should I do that ?"
asked Lindbergh. "Who is this ?" "You will do
it," said the caller, "because if you do not, we will kill your wife
and children. There will be evidence that you did it in a fit of
insanity, and you will spend the rest of your life in an institution."
"You’re insane,"
exclaimed Lindbergh.
"No, I’m not," said the
caller, "but you will be, once we have you in an institution for three
days. Don’t hang up, because we want to tell you this ... we killed
your baby and we can kill the rest of your family whenever we wish. There
will be eye witnesses to testify that you did it."
For several moments, Lindbergh was
unable to speak. At last he said, "Then Dwight Morrow was
right."
"Oh, he knew, did he ?" said
the caller. "Good riddance. Now, listen to this. Anyone
who dares to oppose us is diagnosed as a paranoid schizophrenic with extremely
hostile impulses. If you make one more public speech, you will spend the
rest of your life in a mental institution as a madman who slaughtered his
family. You saw what we did to Hauptmann."
"I can’t listen to
this," said Lindbergh. "Can we talk later ?"
"You only have to say yes or
no," said the caller. "Say no and our plan goes into effect
tonight. If you tell anyone what we said, you will be diagnosed as having
extreme paranoia and will be given immediate treatments."
"All right," said Lindbergh,
"I agree. I don’t believe anything you’ve said, but I can’t
risk my family. I can’t take the chance."
"You don’t have a
chance," said the caller. "And remember, if you think you can
change your mind, we will always have someone near you who can carry out our
plan."
[just who exactly
was there to take down the details of this phone-conversation ?]

To the end of his life, Lindbergh never
understood that those who do not seize the power when it is available spend the
rest of their days at the mercy of those who do seize it. Trotsky found
this out when he got an ice axe in his skull in the tropical climate of
In his later years, he dabbled in
airline management, while his wife continued to publish her jejune works of

age, they came more and more to resemble another famous couple of the 1930s,

child takes on special significance for all of us in the Holy Easter season,
