THE LINDBERGH KIDNAPPING CASE The True Story Of The Crime That Shocked The World

Paperback. From the beginning, the Lindbergh kidnapping case was different from any other. Violet Sharpe, a maid, was never really involved, yet she committed suicide. Gaston B. Means, bagman for the corrupt forces in the Harding administration, forced his way into the picture as an unofficial g0-between. Salvatore Spitale and Irving Bitz, nationally known as gangsters, were brought in as ambassadors to and from the underworld. John F. Condon, a mild, retired teacher acted as the ransom pay-off man, catapulting himself into prominence under his code name "Jafsie." Even the Purple Gang and the Al Capone mob were thought to be involved, but only one man - a lone wolf - was ever implicated...the infamous Bruno Hauptmann. 144pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. With the usual browned pp., small red label to fr. cover. Vg.
