woods of the Sourland mountains.
While he was pastor of St. Michael
the Archangel church on the out
skirts of Trenton. N. J., he said he
became acquainted with Hauptmann
as a frequenter of a riding stable
owned by LeRoy C. Thompson, who
described Bruno as a "click guy.”
On Thompsons place, said the
priest. Robert A. Schumann, a
Trenton architect, had a small office
where he pored over plans of the
Lindbergh estate, hoping for con
tracts on the work. The clergyman
described a visit to the architect’s
offioe:
“Bruno was looking at some blue
prints. I looked over his shoulder and
saw what they were. -Oh that’s the
Lindbergh home,’ I said. He folded
them over so I couldn't see them.
Schumann looked up and said to
Bruno, 'Oh, never mind, hes all
right*." _
Schumann died Sept. 7. 1932. after
being stricken with heart disease on
a bus. The priest said he had been
informed the architect was myster
iously robbed and slugged shortly
before his death.
“Moral duty” spurred him. he said,
to reveal his acquaintance with the
man under death sentence for kid
naping the Lindbergh baby, despi
the priest’s fear of notoriety and
harm. He was pastor of ihf Tren
ton church trom 1926 to 19.(1. and
since has been pastor of St .7 >ephs
church in Cudahy, Milwaukee sub
