| COMMENTS: Subject: Excellent Site!
I have always thought that there was something fishy about you
Grandpa's conviction.
Another thing that is odd is that from reading about him, he had the
type of drive and the type of mind that wanted to solve the case. As
if the......mystery drove him. I believe that he was a brilliant man.
And every single item I have ever read about him references what a
brilliant detective he was. Not the type of person likely to "beat" a
confession out of a person. There would have been no challenge in
that. Any good ol' boy cop could do that. Ellis was too smart to do
that. It would not have SOLVED anything. And I believe that he
was....driven to solve crime. That is why he had such an outstanding
reputation. You do not build a reputation such as he did with
beating people. It would not hold up. And logically, why would he do
that on what probably would have turned out to be the most famous
case of his career? No, it is just not logical.
I do know this: I am a regular poster on the Lindy hoax board. And I
do, and will always believe, that Charles Lindbergh was involved. But
I also believe that if your Grandpa said Wendel was involved, then
Wendel was involved.
I am going to keep visiting your site. Keep up the great work! |

| COMMENTS: I would like to extend to the family
of Eillis Parker my great appreciation and respect for Ellis Parker.
From what everything that I read about Ellis, I find that he was an
extraordinary personality. He dedicated his life in the pursuit of
truth and justice, even though it cost him personally and his family
personally.
Specifically, I would like to thank him personally, if that was
possible for his pursuit of justice in the Lindbergh kidnapping case.
As a retired NYC police officer, and a medical legal investigator, I
have followed this case closely. It is my personal opinion that Ellis
Parker was right all along. However, justice not being blind, he also
became a victim. What most people fail to realize is that there are
many victims to the Lindbergh kidnapping, and ---- Ellis Parker was
one of them.
Please, again accept my profound and deep respect and admiration for
the contribution that Ellis Parker made. He is certainly NOT fogotten.

Lindbergh kidnapping. The problem I have is how did they identify
that this WAS the baby's body? I don't think Bruno Hauptman was the
man. It had to be someone they knew or they knew more than they said.
There seems to have been a rush decision on the courts behalf or even
before then. |

school and for extra credit for the midterms I have to write about
what I think happened. I think the police totally twisted things
around. They were a bunch of egomaniacs. They built a whole case
out of nothing. I can't believe that these men were willing to have
something like that on their conscience. How could a man like
Hauptmann, who himself had a child and a wife that he loved commit
such a crime?...He didn't do it. He is innocent. I think Paul
Wendell did it. He wrote out a whole confession. |

| COMMENTS: I feel that there are many unanswered
questions about the Lindberg affair. I read that recently Hauptmans
missing chisel was found at the NJ State Police Archives. It does
appear that witnesses were bought, or cajoled into identifying
Hauptman.
Only 1/3 of the money was recovered, where is the rest? It is
reported that Fisch paid his boat ticket with gold backs. NJ could
not find the missing people, so they claimed Hauptman acted alone.
Perhaps Hauptman, acting with Fisch & another person concocted the
randsom demand after the child disappeared. I doubt Hauptman killed
the child, or abducted him.

Why does this matter so very much..equal justice and we cannot as a
people live with a history based on lies. The danger of placing a man
above the law and making him the super Nordic hero was a Nazi ideal
and yet this was done with Lindbergh..the most likely truth is that
he dropped the fragile, and low bone density [due to the mother's
poor state of nutrition..fashionable Ivy League girl who got the
paper doll
man of her dreams] on his head while trying to strenghthen the child
through what he thought of as exercises. Mrs. Roosevelt hung her
baby outside the window in a cage following a fad doctors advice
until the neighbors noticed. The insecure Eagle believed his own
publicity and was cautioned by Will Rogers on the rough handling of
the child. Because kiddnapping was all the news, the cover-up
began...the deaths that followed, of the maid who was a devote
Catholic and could not bear to talk to the police, and Richard
Hauptmann are the evil consequence of the failure of Linbergh to take
responsibility..he would not be able to be a hero any longer..his
wife was in love with the famous hero, not the man..a man who had a
very troubled past including another kidnapping hoax involving his
wife's sister. I just saw footage on Fox taken of the baby in his
crib from the window and yet the ladder was supposed to have been
brought by the kidnapper. Also Hauptmann was paid to work as a
carpenter and the ladder was unsound and crude..was a ladder made by
the police from wood at the Hauptmann's at a later time .there was a
shocking lack of chain of evidence but clearly there had to have been
a ladder there to take those movies..why were people so eager to kill
someone..like in the work To Kill A Mockingbird nobody wanted to
think that the Lindbergh were disturbed people. Can we learn from
this and try to compensate the surviving son for this injustice....

Your filial devotion is commendable. It would be good to see a
complete new biography of your grandfather as Pratt's book was
already rare when I was a boy in the fifties. I met Pratt once at the
SciCon in Philadelphia, or possibly Cleveland a few years later.
Either way it was the first time I personally heard your
grandfather's name mentioned, and I found a copy of "The Cunning
Mulatto " in the Mansfield, Ohio, Public Library. I have not seen one
on the bookstalls since. Pratt was generally a great believer in the
status quo but he definitely, by the time I talked to him at
least,and perhaps always,that Hauptmann and your grandfather had been
set up.
So far as Hauptmann was concerned,I had long heard the same thing
from my own father who knew Betty Gow in Ritman, Ohio, where she had
close friends, and where my father met her on several occasions in
his late bachelor days. He was married,or at least engaged, to my
mother when he met her for the last time prior to what she believed
to be a final return to Scotland.As on previous occasions she was
extremely troubled by the evidence she had been required to give in
the case. She adored Mrs.Lindbergh and would never say a word against
her. But the Colonel? I heard that story of the "joke "that he
played once before and Miss Gow's immediate suspicions the second
time around years before they were common knowledge. Miss Gow said
there was no way she could have identified that baby's body. But she
could not go against the father. As she made her identification a
considerable time before Lindbergh physically arrived on the scene,
the inference is plain that she had been instructed by long distance
phone to identify a body the father could never have seen. My father
was quite convinced that is exactly what she intended to convey. The
thought the baby had not been murdered was the only thing which made
the series of false identifications which she had been compelled to
make bearable.
Sincerely yours,
Roger Parris

COMMENTS: WEBMASTER'S Note: This is a composite of 3 emails
from the same person over a 5 day period.)
My name is Ron Reed, I've lived in Mt. Holly all my 52 years and I
remember hearing my Grandmother and Mother talking about Mr. Ellis
Parker and they always felt that Lindy knew more about the kidnapping
than he let on. I've also talked to a lot of the old timer's around
town and not a one had a bad word or anything else wrong, for that
matter, to say about Mr. Parker. Most everyone thinks that
Mr.lindbergh seems to know more than he let out. I believe that he
did also. In fact they seem to feel that he was RAILROADED. After
reading several articles on this matter I have to agree with them
that Mr. Parker was framed. I hope that the Parker family keeps going
and will be able to clear Mr. Ellis Parker's name.
As for me I became interested in Mr. Parker as a result of doing
tours at the old county jail museum on High Street in Mt. Holly. In
this one room (The Old Warden's Office) we have Mr. Parker's safe
where he kept all his important papers on a lot of his cases.
After reading the Questions and Answers section of this website I
feel that it's a sad situation that Prosecutor Wilentz could believe
that Mr. Parker or anyone for that matter would think that they could
kidnap and beat a confession from a onetime Lawyer then turn him in
and get away with it. This in itself is harder to believe than all
the CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE that convicted Mr. Bruno Richard
Hauptmann.

| COMMENTS: I have been reading about the
Hauptmann case for over 10 years, having digested about 8 books on
the subject. Hauptmann was, of course, innocent of the crime. I found
this web page searching for information about Ellis Parker because of
his involvement in the case. I wish there was more information about
this man. I also would like to see the "confession" Mr. Parker
elicited from Paul Wendell. Many books speak of the confession, but I
have never found a copy of it.
Mr. Parker's expertise speaks for itself. He must have had
something, and his instincts told him that they had the wrong man.
And that was something he was seldom wrong about. Even books that
dismiss his involvement in the case (i.e. George Waller's
"Kidnap")honor him and his detective abilities. I think in this case
he just ran out of time. His involvement into the case was very late.
The entire country was convinced of Hauptmann's guilt, and the
bloodthirsty mob wanted the execution to take place quickly. To many,
this is reason enough to abolish the death penalty. While I still
believe in capitol punishment for some, it is obvious that no one
should be put to death based on circumstantial evidence.

COMMENTS: Thank you for a very professional
presentation of the case against Hauptmann being the Lindbergh baby
kidnapper.
The Questions that are presented, however, are given a certain
"spin" in advance. For example, it is claimed that a reporter
"admitted writing the address and phone number of John Condon" on the
closet board.
This is not correct. Forty years later, three OTHER reporters made
this claim, long after Cassidy was dead. The man in question, Tom
Cassidy, was never asked himself, nor made any documented admission.
This is strictly a rumor - of which there were quite a few.
It is more useful to read what Hauptmann himself said on 3 separate
occasions: On Sept 25 and 26, 1934, he admitted doing the writing
himself - at the Bronx Courthouse. He went into remarkable detail of
how he did it - far beyond "yes" or "no". He said he was relining his
shelves with newspaper and copied the info from that source. However,
Condon's phone # was never published since his role was unknown
during the negotiations. Afterwards, the # was unlisted. On Oct 24,
1934, at the Flemington jail, he again admitted writing Condon
address and phone - to none other than Condon himself! He said that
carpenters frequently had this habit of writing on wood.
Only at the Trial, did Hauptmann reverse gear and deny that he did.
It was very incriminating to have made the admission 3 times - even
the Court stenographer was called to testify as to its accuracy.
Unlike the Cassidy claim, these 3 instances of Hauptmann's admission
are fully documented and can still be perused today. If one digs
further, one learns that Cassidy didn't even write the story in the
Daily News - so his supposed "motive" is not valid either.
Accurate information is very important in analyzing any crime case -
I am sure that Ellis Parker would be the first to agree?

Editor's Note: Allen certainly makes good points and
those who would like to investigate further should try his web site
cited above. It is one of the best. I think though that perhaps too
much is taken in today's context instead of the context of the
1930's. Hauptmann, after being beaten, may have admitted writing
something that he did or didn't do in the belief that he would be
cleared of the kidnapping charge and only convicted of the extortion
crime. I still believe, as did Ellis Parker, that there were two
crimes, the kidnapping, which Hauptmann had nothing to do with and
the extortion, in which he might have been guilty of conspiring with
others.

| COMMENTS: Great site, and thanks for the
information on such a great man.
Ellis Parker was the best investigator involved in this case.
Whenever I am at the NJSP archives and I come across one of his
reports made to either Gov. Moore or Gov. Hoffman, I immediately hand
it over to Mark Falzini (Archivist) to be copied. These reports
truely show the intelligence, skill, and insight Ellis possessed. No
wonder he was so famous!
As for Allen's post concerning Condon's number on the closet board.
Allen is wrong, as are many of his assertions concerning this case.
Condon's phone number was SEdgwick 3-7154 which was listed in the
Bronx Telephone Directory at the time of the kidnapping and BEFORE
Condon obtained a private listing. I have source documentation to
prove it and Condon himself admits this in his own book. Hauptmann
had a habit of writing things on the wall. So when the police showed
him the writing, Hauptmann said it "may be his". Why would Hauptmann
write that number there when he didn't have a phone in his apartment
and it was easily looked up in any directory where there actually WAS
a phone?
As far as who wrote it. Through tireless hours of research, I have
found the author and can prove it wasn't Hauptmann.
Thank you Bill for bringing up the beating Hauptmann suffered at the
hands (and feet) of the police. They even used Hauptmann's own
hammer by smashing him on the head and back several times with it.
They tried sleep deprivation, refused to give him food, and water.
Still even with that torture...no confession.
Its ironic isn't it? The authorities had no problem going after
those who were falsely accused of the bogus "kidnapping" and
"beating" of Wendel...What's even worse is they knew it.

| COMMENTS: Once again, my heart is made heavy at
the injustice that occurs in a country that allegedly has the best
justice system in the world. I believe that there is reasonable doubt
as to Hauptmann's guilt. Frankly, I think he was innocent of the
kidnapping/ abduction and ultimate death of baby Lindbergh. As to
the separate crime of ransom I am highly suspicious, but I lean
towards his innocence.
I have only lately been made aware of who Ellis Parker is and his
involvement in the investigation of the Lindbergh case. I am most
anxious to read about more of his cases. I am not at all surprised
that Mr. Parker's investigation was made suspect by the prosecution
and the police or that the truth regarding Wendell's involvement was
covered up.
Too many times prosecutors are led by their ambitions of higher
political office, that integrity becomes a rare attribute. In my own
home town, the county prosecutor was running for state attorney
general. Thank God he didn't make it! Several of his cases were
later reversed or remanded for new trials because of his failure to
disclose evidence favorable to the defense and also his influence to
fabricate evidence. Shameful!
Thank you for maintaining this website. I found it illuminating. I
for one, believe that Mr. Parker had true integrity, a rare trait it
seems, and that he was not one to "beat" a confession out of a
suspect. I think that Wilentz, Schwarkopf, and the other
investigators were doing all the "fine-tuning". They had a suspect,
and they shaped the evidence to fit. Wendell's confession and
Parker's investigation would have destroyed their (Wilentz,
Schwarzkopf, et al.) credibility and, therefore, they tried to
destroy Parker's credibility. Lies begat bigger lies, until who knows
what is the truth.
I am so skeptical of the press/media, investigators, and
prosecutors. I believe in the jury system, but it is an imperfect
system. There is much sensationalism.
But in fairness, it may be that the men involved in the
investigation, reporting, prosecution, etc. of Hauptmann truly
believed they had the culprit. I hope that either they truly
believed in Hauptmann's guilt or that their consciences ate at them
for the rest of their days.

I am inclined to believe there were two crimes; 1. the kidnap and 2.
the extortion.
Hauptmann's role is possibly in the extortion (if any. perhaps the
"Fisch Story" is true!)). At this time I have strong doubts he was
the kidnapper. I base this on the fact that the wood expert demanded
a part of the reward money after his testimony and what appears as
tampering with the time sheet evidence that could have placed
Hauptmann in the Bronx the night of March 1st.
There are many loose ends that point to an "inside" involvement at
some level.

as he able to write any english,,like a ransom note..This story is
all true, and I truly believed what I had heard. This was like a
confession before his death. He had held it all in, since at that
time they and all friends and neighbors were told by the local law
enforcement to forget all they know, or else. There was once a tape
recording of this admission, thatcame up missing 3 yrs ago shortly
after hisdeath.

| COMMENTS: Enjoyed your page. I am particularly
interested in the Hauptmann/Lindbergh case. This is interesting
information. Apparently, there is a new book coming out which
indicates Lindbergh led a double life and had another family in
Germany. The most recent book suggests Lindbergh may have perpetrated
the kidnapping story after a failed prank.

| COMMENTS: I wonder if Ellis Parker had
information on accomplices of Wendell, an if he did might not
someone else have information on such acomplice to solve the case?
This might be an ideal scenario, but i'm affraid the Government and
FBI don't realy want to have this case solved, because of Lindbergh's
position against Roosevelt. I knew of a person in Ohio being
questioned by the FBI, and who's farm they dug up in connection with
a kidnapping. This person had been a salesman for the Mersman
Furniture Company, and I could bet they never made it public. The
salesman in question had served penitentiary time for bank robbery as
well being connected to Purple Gang Members.

| COMMENTS: Comments: I have visited this website off and on for the last several years. It is amazing how it continues to grow. I am also a great granddaughter of Ellis Parker (my father was his late grandson, Craig Parker, and my mother is Stella Parker). I find his history and detective skills fascinating. I also cannot help but admire the terrific work done in compiling all the historical data and articles in this website. This is a great site for historians and family members alike. I will keep my children visiting! Take Care, Bill F! Lynda.

| COMMENTS: What a fine tribute to a great detective. I too am among the many who believe Ellis Parker had the right man for the crime and that the injustice done to him and his son is a tragedy.

| COMMENTS: I don't know whether Ellis Parker was right about the guilt of Paul Wendel in the Lindbergh case, but I am absolutely convinced that Richard Hauptmann was an innocent man, put to death by a corrupt system. I applaud Ellis Parker for his far-sightedness in seeing beyond the official line.
