Description
In 1932, Charles Lindbergh sat in the Flemington New Jersey courtroom in the First Lindbergh Kidnapping trial.
Most people are familiar with Charles Lindbergh vs. Bruno Richard Hauptmann in the famous 1935 "Trial of the Century." But very few people know that there was another trial that preceded the Hauptmann trial.
In the summer of 1932, John Hughes Curtis, a well-known pillar of society in Norfolk, Virginia was approached and asked to serve as an intermediary between the gang who said they kidnapped the Lindbergh baby and Charles Lindbergh.
Thus began an adventure with Curtis and Lindbergh out to sea for three weeks, Curtis being held captive in the basement of Lindbergh's house, culminating in a wild trial in the hot summer of 1932 in the Flemington courthouse.
Many of he same people who show up in the Hauptmann trial are there: Lloyd Fisher, Anthony Hauck, Col.
Lindbergh, Col. Schwarzkopf, Betty Gow, Ollie Whately, etc.
