The Lindbergh case produced a sequcl at New York with the indictment of four men for kddnapping Paul Wendel, whose ' f conf ession " of murdering the baby gained Hauptmann three days of life after he had been 'seheduled'to die. One of those indicted was Ellis Parker, jun., son of the famous New Jersey detective, whom Governor Hoffman employed in an attempt to prove Hauptmann innoeent. According to the charge, Parker, jun., and his accomplices, assaulted Wendel at New York, kidnapped him, and held him prisoner, while he was transported to New Jersey.
