MEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE. MEDFOKD, OREGON, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 6, 1935.
LUMAN
(Continued from Page One.)
' toll a guilty man when I see one,
wu called Into the case by former
Gov. A. Harry Moore, of New Jersey,
and has been working on It since.
Gov. Hoffman disclosed.
Moore was governor when the kid
naping occurred.
The New York Daily News said to
day an anonymous letter indicating
a possibility that Hauptmann la Inno
cent of slaying Charles A. Lindbergh's
kidnaped son is the center of a new
Investigation of the crime.
The letter Is being studied by
Parker, the News said. It reported
that he, too. has visited Hauptmann
In the prison at Trenton. N. J.
Parker, the News says, Is studying
a theory that the baby was not killed
the night of the kidnaping, March 1.
1932, but died later.
Letter One of Many
The letter, one of hundreds mailed
to officials shortly after the kidnap
ing, was postmarked at Buffalo 10
days after the crime. It was delivered
to the police chief at Trenton.
Parker takes the view, the News
says, that the man who wrote It was
the man who stole the child. The
most sifnif leant sentence in it said:
"Follow the Lindbergh telephone
wires and you will find the baby and
three fellows."
The child's body was found May 12,
1932. about 60 feet from temporary
telephone wires installed at Lind
bergh's Hopewell estate two days after
the abduction.
Got Cold Feet
"I got cold feet," the News quoted
from the letter.
"We all thought we could make
some easy money. We got a place
near Elizabeth, N. J., and one of the
fellows who was pretty smart runs a
wire to this place and listened to
everything the Lindbergh people say "
It said the "Lindbergh baby is
taken very good care of and 1b feeling
fine when I left the fellows only It
cries too much and the fellows are
afraid someone will hear it. Nobody
will hurt it because they all like it.
The baby has lots of toys and a am all
black dog."
Parker, the News says, takes the
view that much of the letter waa the
inaccurate raving of a demented man.
but that the reference to the tele
phone wires was a worth-while clue.
