Listening in silence on the platform and in reserved seats below, sat a phalanx of Roosevelt I's descendants, good Republicans all. including Alice Longworth. But the only rebuke offered by the children of Roosevelt I to Roosevelt II was made by Theodore Roosevelt Jr. who, in the course of personal anecdotes, smilingly remarked...
Threatened with impeachment by politicians, denounced by the Press and reviled by a vengeful public. Governor Hoffman directed the State Police "to continue their search for any other person or persons involved in the crime"; explained his action thus: "I ... share with hundreds of thousands of our people the doubt as to the value of the evidence that placed [Hauptmann] in the Lindbergh nursery on the night of the crime...
