Reporters gather outside the courthouse to cover the trial of Bruno Richard Hauptmann. Hundreds of newsmen write thousands of words each day to feed the demands of a voracious public. The account of the trial in the newspapers was seen as “a real-life masterpiece,” surpassing fiction. (Corbis-Bettmann)

 

 

During the final weeks of the trial, Colonel Norman H. Schwarzkopf, Superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, and Anne Lindbergh accompany Mrs. Morrow to testify at Hauptmann’s trial.
