Talk:Charles Lindbergh Jr.’s Baby Rattle/@comment-1674153-20170206084859/@comment-111.69.160.43-20170207055248

I'm assuming the play itself is titled "Hauptmann", about the man himself during his imprisonment. I found nothing about any visits, but as a military man, Lindbergh was versed in torture techniques, and prisoner torture was common among crooked guards at the time. I found mention of a confession written by a mental institution patient (25 pages long) about his involvement in the crime. It was declared too incredible for court and the individual later admitted the confession had been tortured out of him.

Perhaps the events of the play are mere conjecture based on this. It's not impossible that it happened, of course, but nothing of any truth or rumour from the time appeared in my search.
