CATHOLIC PRIEST SAYS
HE KNEW HAUPTMANN
BEFORE THE KIDNAPING
(By The Associated Press)
MILWAUKEE, April 3 — Federal authorities today
considered a new chapter in the life of Bruno Richard Haupt
mann, convicted of the kidnaping of the Lindbergh child.
This new chapter to be disclosed is purported to blast
much of the carpenter’s defense alibi in the kidnaping case.
Rev. Michael Kallok. aged forty-eight, Catholic priest,
told government agents that Hauptmann had studied the
plans of the Lindbergh Hopewell estate, even before it had
been constructed. He said he had seen him often riding
on horseback around that vicinity, when he was pastor of a
church on the outskirts of Trenton.
He became asquainted with Hauptmann as a frequenter
of the stable owned by Leroy Thompson. Father Kallok
described Hauptmann as a “slick” guy. The priest said
that Robert Scumann, Trenton architect had a small office
on Thompson’s place where he poured over the plans of the
estate, hoping for contracts on the work.
The clergyman said he saw Hauptmann there studying
the blueprints. “My moral duty,” he said “spurred me to
reveal without fear of notoriety or harm, according to the
federal agents, who will turn the story over to the New Jer
sey State Police.
