Letter written by Gasten Bud Means to his Attorney Hartman 26 May 1933. Ref--Search for the Lindbergh Baby--Chapter 5 pg 56/ Theon Wright......never introduced at the BRH trial: pg 58-68.
"From Feb 16 1932 to Feb 26, 1932 I was in the NYC registered at the Imperial Hotel......I had gone from NYC from Wash Dc for the purpose of locating Welllington Henderson .for the purpose of investigation that had been assigned to me. (this account also summarized in American Astrology)
"In my efforts to locate Wellington Henderson I contacted James Feldman, alias Irving Fenton, and learned from him that Henderson was in Jersey City? I requested Fenton/Feldman to contact Henderson and tell him to come to NYC Imperial Hotel. [keep in mind that Waxey Gordon is aka Irving Wexler AND on page 122 of The Purple Gang by Paul R. Kavieff Irving Feldman is described at a Young Purple Gang member]
" Feldman/Fenton called my attention in my first interview with him that HE KNEW of a kidnapping that was going to take place and tried to interrst me in this matter"" end quote
(cont)...Shortly afterwards Means met Fenton/Feldman with a well-known member of the bootlegging buisness, Max Greenberg. Feldman told Means, according to his story, that he wanted to discuss the matter of the kidnaping in great detail...but Means told Feldman and Greenberg he was not interested? "pg 58
[letter continues on page 65}...."The kidnapping was carreid out by Max Hassel's connections who were selling beer to Lindbergh's servants. ....when they came to the house, seeing none of the servants, they just picked up the baby and left some notes to make out he had been kidnapped" end quote
"In the closing page of Means letter to Hartman, atty, he mentions "certain mystic or symbolic" identification used by rum runners to spot thier customers, apparently referring to the bizarre "signature". Means added "investigate Max Hassell and Max Greenberg's records--which will prove they were the kidnappers, and they enginneered more than one kidnap for ransom"> pg 68

Excuse me. There is one thing. I located the records that Means had in a warehouse up at 14th and U Streets. From the amount of information that he wrote through, and we kept him writing all the time, through a process of elimination and deduction I was able to figure that they were in a warehouse somewhere in the immediate vicinity of Washington, and then I went to all the different ones and I found the one up on U Street that the rent was due on it and I paid the rent and they allowed me to go in there and I did find secret massages, and through cryptography I was able to take and decipher them and they pertained to the explosive that I worked on.

Thanks for the document references ! I haven't had any luck trying to find any secondary coding system at work in the Means/Whitaker operation. But I ran across a strange connection between Al Capone and Whitaker that raises even more questions.
Al's involvement with the Lindbergh case is covered in some detail in the moumental 1994 revisionist biography " Capone: The Man And His Era " by Laurence Bergreen (pgs. 503-5 ). On March 10, 1932 Al contacted journalist Arthur Brisbane to offer to work with Thomas Callahan, the head of the United States Secret Service, to locate Charlie jr. in exchange for a reduction in jail time. Brisbane leaked this to the Hearst papers where the offer made big headlines. Lindbergh discussed Capone's offer with Elmery Irey and Frank Wilson who advised Lindbergh to ignore Capone's offer as Lucky Luciano, and not Capone, was the only one who had the power to help via mob control. In 1934, Capone was moved from the Federal Pen in Atlanta to Alcatraz, just as Gaston Means was arriving in the Atlanta pen. Whitaker arrived in Alcatraz in 1935. In January, 1936 a prisoner named J.W. Allen mysteriously died. Whitaker became the ringleader of a mass prisoner strike and riot based on the charges of medical neglect of Allen by the prison authorities ( Hilbert pg. 135-6 ). Capone refused to participate and was threatened with death by Whitaker and company - Al spent the riot hiding under blankets locked in his cell ( Bergreen pg. 550 ). Allen's mysterious death resembles another poisoning, which Whitaker coincidently keeps running into in his career. And the riot looks like a pretext to kill Capone which got foiled only by accident.

Noso looks like a key figure connecting the kidnapping to the Means-Whitaker operation. As Bergreen fairly well documents in his book, Al Capone really didn't have much mob clout outside of Chicago proper - he took orders from the emerging crime families even at the height of his power. If Al knew something about the bootleggers connections to the kidnapping, it would explain why Whitaker appears to have murdered Allen in order to foment an anti-Capone riot in Alcatraz: perhaps Capone was being sent a message about ratting out the operation !

This is good stuff. I suppose it exposes my lack of knowledge concerning this angle because I was never aware of such a riot until you posted about it. I am shocked to learn about Capone's lack of power while at Alcatraz, and along the same lines - Whitaker having that amount. (Looks like I need to pick up a couple of new books). Here's something I thought interesting as it relates to this angle: The man known as 'Heine' was located at Ellis Island where he is being held pending trial and deportation;
His name is Henry Logemann and his record shows numerous arrest; Upon being questioned by my Investigator, Logemann stated that there had been a blonde woman, her husband and small baby stopping at #7 Burnett St; that they had been there only three days; and that they had departed either the day before or the day after the Newark Police search all such dwellings for the Lindburg baby;
He further advised, unsolicited, that on the day prior to my Investigatior's call, he had been questioned about the Lindburg matter by a man who had a letter from Governor Hoffman;
Concerning his present incarceration, he said that he was in some way connected with the Gaston Means case, and, my Investigator not being familiar with the facts in this particular case, did not press the issue. Logemann referred to himself as the man "Means was pointing his finger at."(W. Wachenfeld, Essex County Prosecutor, 2-4-36)

More bizarre connections from the document crates of the Whitaker estate: on September 6, 1950 Whitaker sent a letter to ex-governor Harold Hoffman, an old Whitaker acquaintance, telling Hoffman of correspondence with Perle Mesta, Minister to Luxembourg . Whitaker hopes to spy on the Soviets, on behalf of the USA and its allies, if Whitaker becomes US Chess Champion by defeating the then current title holder, Herman Steiner, in a match. " With my flair for intrigue I could well serve my country if I became chess champion. I would be invited to tournaments in eastern Europe. " ( Hilbert " Shady Side " pg. 188 )
Hoffman responded on January 15th, 1951:
" I know absolutely nothing about chess and have no particular friends who play the game. If you can get to Russia, more power to you, but there is no way in which I can help in this matter. " ( Hilbert pg. 189 )
So nearly two decades after the event, we find the ex-governor, who supposedly tried to keep Bruno from being executed, corresponding with the convicted scam-meister on the possibilities of Norman Whitaker becoming a free-world spy ! One finds this extremely strange to say the least !!!

It is strange but consider that Hoffman utilized all that wrote to him. He had a way of making everyone think they were his "friend" or "worked for him" etc. I am by no means an Expert of Gov. Hoffman but I have been reading his correspondence for years now. He answered everyone who wrote him, save for a very few who were completely nutz, and encouraged them to send him anything they found. It's quite possible that over the years a friendship did indeed develop, I don't know, but consider that I have read many a interdepartmental memos between him & Conklin joking about the very people who were calling him a "friend" simply because of the friendly nature of their correspondence.
I was reading where the riot you mention took place without several key prisoners who were labeled "rats" for not being involved. Then there's mention of a plot to kill Capone by those associates of massacre victims who they attributed the deaths to Capone. Finally, Capone was attacked and stabbed by James Lucas. Is this stabbing tied into any of your theories?

The stabbing of Capone by James C. Lucas on June 23, 1936 ( Bergreen pgs. 550-551 ) looks directly linked to Whitaker's operation. The San Francisco Examiner of Feb. 8. 1935 covered the events during the riot ( Hilbert pg.137 ) and named the following ringleaders: John Paul Chase - former Sausalito, California bootlegger and a member of the " Babyface " Nelson gang; Harmon Waley - kidnapper of George Wayerhaeuser ( a child ); James C. Lucas of the so-called Texas gang - life sentence for murder in connection with a bank robbery; and Norman T. Whitaker - called the Brains of The Mutiny Plot. It is interesting to note the possible connections between the bootlegger, the kidnapper, the Texas gang leader, and Whitaker. Recall, for instance , the wild goose chase to El Paso, Texas by Gaston Means, Mrs. McLean, and nurse, Elizabeth Nelson to try to " recover the baby from the kidnappers " - why Texas ? And how does Lucas become one of the ring leaders of the Mutiny after being in Alcatraz less than a month ( arrived in early Jan. 1935 - Bergreen pg. 513 ) ? A possible hypothesis is that all the other " ringleaders " were earlier associates of both Means and Whitaker - perhaps involved in the Lindbergh kidnapping on the edges - and the riot was aimed at Capone for the earlier offer to " solve " the case. This possible earlier connection between Whitaker and the others would explain why Whitaker had so much internal power in Alcatraz while Capone had none. And the Lucas stabbing of Capone over a year later was another way of trying to keep Al Capone quiet. The reason why none of this has been discussed together is that Bergreen didn't have the Whitaker material available and Hilbert is primarily focused on Whitaker's chess career - with the criminal activities thrown in for spicey reading. I think the evidence points to primary linkages between the Lindbergh kidnapping, the Means-Whitaker operations, the Alcatraz riot, and the stabbing of Capone. But more documentary evidence would be more than useful here !!

I know that Waley didn't like Capone and the feeling was mutual. I've read that Capone teased him for being a "baby" kidnapper. I think this is important because it echoes what Bitz and Spitale were saying about the Lindbergh Crime and how the "underworld" felt about it. [ AP 05/09/1933]

Here's part of a "theory" letter written to Hoover. So many of these letters came flooding in to various people and so many were from cranks and crazies. I have often said that I believe the few important ones had the potential to be overlooked because of the sheer number of them being worthless. Here is a sample as it relates to Means (for what its worth): As written you previously the symbol is Japanese, the markings on the trees is Japanese, I believe that you will also find that the peculiarly shaped chisel as described odd in the papers will be found to be that of the odd appearing Japanese Wood Carvers chisels as shown on page 753 of the Jap and Magazine of the March issue of 1911, therefore there has been a line of Japanese appearances all along of which I have written you much and which now turns very very suspiciously in the direction of one Gaston B. Means because the Fox is also Japanese and the number of the House of Japan using the crest of the double interlinked Circle is the House of Wakizaka whether or not Wakizaka is th member of the Imperial Order of the Rising Sun I do not know but I do know that Baron Kitsukasa of the same strain IS a member of the Imperial Order of the Rising Sun and is entitled to the use of the Red Disc on all of his decoration, crests and etc., therefore the number Eleven appears to be that of the House of Wakizaka. (Wm. J. Taylor, Jr., Newark, N.J., 7-5-32 Letter to Hoover)

Thanks for the citation ! I'll add it to my file of oddball symbol interpretations in this case - besides the 1911 reference given, one wonders if this Japanese material relates to the Imperial Japanese intelligence codes rather than just the apparent hits on " Fox " and the number 11. This kind of research is definitely a specialist's area. And we don't have a Spence (yet ) working on the World War1-pre World War 2 Japanese spying operations in the USA. Capone's attitudes towards kidnappers is also a reaction to the first generation Italian crime operations ( 1890 to Prohibition ) in which the Italian Black Hand gangs kidnapped the children of small Italian businesses for extortion. D.W. Griffith used this " current " crime news in some of the plots of his silent film crime flicks. Capone definitely looked on kidnapping as a " lower class " crime as opposed to the upper middle class " rackets ". I am still trying to track down the miriad connections between Whitaker's group of Alcatraz " ringleaders " and Gaston Means' earlier operations . Somewhere a document or two will shed light on this murky business !

I have been actively pursuing a lead in the form of a man named "John Damann." I first saw his name mentioned in an FBI report and thought there may be more to be found concerning him since he was supposed to be so close to Max Hassel.
In the past couple of days I have been searching for anything related to him at the NJSP Archives and was able to come up with a Statement made by him to Private Investigator Winslow Humphrey. While I am not certain this is the only statement he made to Authorities, its certainly the only one I was able to find. Additionally, for a guy supposedly in the mob, he does a lot of talk and the things he says may be the truth concerning what was told to him, although I doubt it, but all of it can't be true.

Post by Michael on Oct 9, 2008 18:56:42 GMT -5
I wanted to correct the above post... Humphrey did not take this Statement, rather, he came into possession of it then forwarded it to Gov. Hoffman. Here is some of it: Max Hassel told me on several occasions during the several days I was seeing him prior to his murder that the Hundred Thousand Dollars belonging to Mrs. McLean and the Fifty Thousand Dollars belonging to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh had come into his possession from Gaston B. Means in April, 1932, for an investment he was to make, for a quick turnover and that the Hundred Thousand Dollars belonging to Mrs. McLean and Fity Thousand Dollars belonging to Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, was to be handed back to Gaston B. Means on or before May 15th, 1932, to be returned to Mrs. McLean, she retaining her Hundred Thousand Dollars and she to see that Col. Lindbergh received his Fifty Thousand Dollars and the profits from the investment were to be divided equally between himself and Gaston B. Means and then he (Hassel) to divide with his associates.
Max Hassel told me further on these occasions just prior to his murder (death) when I was seeing him just because Gaston B. Means had been arrested prior to May 15th, 1932, circumstances had arisen and conditions were such as to prevent the return to Gaston B. Means of the Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and his share of the profits on the investment of the Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars and that this Hundred and Fifty Thousand Dollars, with first profits on the first investment, had been re-invested with profits several times with the result hat the profits had become very substantial. (John Damann Statement, 9/7/33) Here is a link to more information concerning Max Hassel:

Thank you for the Capone files and the Max Hassel materials: I will be looking through both sets for items of interest in the next few weeks. The cartoon was unique, especially as the Devil is portrayed as having one human leg and one animal leg - perhaps an unconscious acknowledgement that Gaston told the truth on occasion ( LOL ! ) ?
In fact, I think Means told more of the truth than he is currently given credit for. In 1963, historian Francis Russell discovered the 105 Harding to Carrie Phillips love letters ( which were locked away by the Harding family until the next decade - with photostats given to the American Heritage magazine so that the materials wouldn't mysteriously be destroyed ). The letters were written on the same weird blue stationary that Nan Britton, in her 1927 work " The President's Daughter " claimed Harding used to write love letters, with White House intimate " meetings " times, to her. Nan said the letters were stolen from her - and Gaston claimed to be the thief acting on behalf of the First Lady. Nan's letters were regarded as hoaxes, as was Means' claims of taking them, until the Phillips letters were found written on the unique stationary. Nan was put on trial in Ohio in 1931 for libel and found guilty. But the one person who could have convincingly and equivocally refuted Nan Britton's claims of visits to the White House offices resolutely refused to do so. He was Harding's secretary, George Christian. He later stated that the Harding White House kept a dual set of logs concerning visitors - the real log vanished during the mid1920's when Florence Harding burned much of Harding's private correspondence and state papers. ( Anthony pg.531 ) Also in 1931, May Dixon Thacker - who funded Means' book " The Strange Death Of President Harding "- denounced Gaston's book as a hoax. She said it was physically impossible for Means to enter the White House without the knowledge of the guards and no record of Means' visits existed ( Hoyt pg.290 ). But with George Christian keeping dual logs, and Florence Harding covering up Means' operations to steal Britton's letters by destroying the records, it seem reasonable to believe Gaston about the fact of his White House visits even if we doubt the exact content of his " consultations " there. And then there is the possiblity of the log book turning up in some Ohio attic, just as Florence's diary did a few years ago ! As I closely read Gaston's materials, and independently verify what I can, I find he is telling the truth where mainstream historians have supposed him to be lying. And this is what makes his involvement in the Lindbergh kidnapping so murky - and so very interesting !

Here's some more information included in another Report made by "H.P.": He wonders the reason he was whisked away from Atlanta Prison to Alcatraz Prison. However, at the height of the Bruno Hauptmann trial this sudden change from the one prison to the other occurred. Whitaker was charged with being one of the "ring-leaders" during this riot. "Imagine that" Whitaker says. "I, with my short sentence among 'lifers'; I, who never carried a gun in my life, and would there fore hardly know how to use one; I, who never hurt, or injured a single person in my whole life, and certainly never stold as much as a cent from anybody, to be charged as being one of the 'ring-leaders', with such men as 'Machine-gun Kell', Al Capone, and other equally well known, as nervy lifetime bandits, inmates at Alcatraz". But, says Whitaker, "when they charged me with being one of the 'ring-leaders' I made no defense, but just took the medicine they handed out to me. I knew it wold do no good to protest. Those prisoners out there just don't especially care for a person who offer alibis, so I did not offer any. I knew I would be released from the prison at the end of 1936 and no one could stop my investigation of many angles of the Lindbergh and McLean matters, that I never understood myself. Prison officials, and others, have hindered me for a few years to make inquiries and investigation, but now being free, can stop me no longer." ("H.P." Report, p.15, 1-15-37) As I said in the ladder post, part of the fun is the actual research. I enjoy figuring out who wrote what by deciphering the code-names, initials, type-face, and handwriting. In this case I am 100% certain "H.P." is "Harvery Phillips" however, I will never cite the report this way because I feel it would be irresponsible to do so. There's always a chance I could be wrong OR that some other Researcher may have a different opinion and/or doubt about who may have authored it.

I wanted to put some names to the faces for the information contained in the link I posted above (and below this post): Waxey Gordon, believed to be the actual target of the gunmen, was in another bedroom on the eighth floor with his girlfriend, Nancy Presser, a known mob prostitute. Five years later Paul "Frankie" Carbo was arrested and charged with the murders. But prosecution witnesses disappeared and the state's case collapsed. Carbo never went on trial. Authorities believed he also killed Bugsy Siegel and Mickey Duffy. [Irving Wexler aka Waxey Gordon (AP Photo)] Investigators believed hit men hired by Schultz arrived in Hassel's suite in the Cartaret Hotel at mid-afternoon on April 12th. While Max never carried a gun, he did employ protection. Shortly after the Schultz gunmen arrived, Max's bodyguard, Louis Parkowitz, left the office room where a half dozen members of the Gordon-Hassel crowd had gathered. He later said he stayed on the eighth floor but in another room some distance from Max's suite. [Arthur Flegenheimer aka Dutch Schultz]

Paul " Frankie " Carbo connects the Lindbergh Kidnapping Case with the infamous 1947 " Black Dahlia " murder in Los Angels. According to author Donald H. Wolfe in " The Black Dahlia Files " ( 2005 ), Bugsy Siegel was murdered for his participation in the Dahlia slaying rather than the " official " story that he was killed because of his mismanagement of mob money building the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas ( maybe Gaston Means' money was part of the bankroll for the Flamingo Hotel project ? ). Also I am currently trying to track down the FBI file number for the interview with Evelyn Clay Everett ( the sister of General Lucius Clay who lead the western Allies occupation of Germany after World War 2 ) on November 13th, 1942 ( cited in Hilbert pg.149 ). Everett testified that Norman Whitaker directly informed her that he was " just on the point of proving that Gaston B. Means was behind the Lindbergh kidnapping. " But a full text of the interview might provide items in Whitaker's " proof " which could be investigated !

Very interesting..... This is all new to me. I tend to shy away from things as they lead away from the LKC but that can sometimes prove to be a mistake. I've found so many things as a result of "cross-overs" which is why I have been at this for so many years now. As to Whitaker's claims - they are a different story. He seems to do this a lot - perhaps his knowledge progresses, perhaps he never knew, maybe he is just "blowing smoke," or maybe he's just wrong. Only one way to find out and that is to do what you are doing. To continue putting faces to the names: [Paul "Frankie" Carbo, AP Photo, 1959] ["Benny" Benjamin "Bugsy" Seigel, 1928]

Knowing that I have in the past given some backround on Schindler, I cannot recall exactly when so I wanted to give it again. They may or may not be the same links I've used in the past.... Another resident of the Spratt Estate was Raymond C. Schindler (1882-1959). He was one of America's most noted detectives. He got his start working for the William J. Burns Agency in 1909 and a few years later started the Schindler Bureau of Investigation, which may have been in operation as late as the 1960s. In 1950, a book was written about him and his fascinating cases titled "The Complete Detective." "Who Was Who in America" (Vol. III 1951-1960) gives a short bio of Schindler and lists his (final) home as the Spratt Estate, Tarrytown, NY. Another link concerning Raymond C. Schindler:

I am on the trail of Norman Whitaker's movements in 1931 and would like to know the exact dates and locations of Hauptmann's 1931 trips to California and Florida - the hypothesis I'm working on is that some of Hauptmann's money originated with Whitaker's " organization " and that Hauptmann and Whitaker met during one or the other ( or both ) of these trips. The received view is that Whitaker worked for Gaston Means; the evidence is starting to congeal in the direction that Means was the front man for Whitaker - and perhaps Means and Hauptmann doublecrossed Whitaker. Was any money found in Hauptmann's secret stash that was not part of the initial marked Lindbergh Kidnapping ransom ? And was the McLean money marked in some way ? Of interest along these lines is Mrs. Gaston Means' FBI statement of December 17th, 1936 that she feared Whitaker might harm her son or herself if the missing McLean money's hiding place wasn't disclosed ( Hilbert pg.141 ). And is there a registration date for Whitaker's rather odd New Jersey driver's license ( Whitaker normally used an Alabama driver's license and car plates supposedly to avoid paying parking tickets, as cited in Hilbert pg.320 ) ? Thanks again for the " new " documents !

Happy (belated) birthday!
According to one Hauptmann source....
He took the gun he bought in 1930 with him on this trip. He quit his job and gave up his apartment. They placed their possessions in storage then, on the morning of July 5th 1931, they began in the pouring rain.....
Here is my summary as best as I could do under the circumstances regarding their travels (in order):
New Jersey to Philadelphia to Delaware Water Gap to Niagara Falls then along Lake Erie to Chicago to Davenport to Mississippi River to Yellowstone Park to Nebraska (along the Flatt River to Cheyenne to Spokane along the Columbia River to Portland to San Francisco to Sequoia Park to Yosimite Park to Lake Tahoe to Reno to Death Valley to Beatty to Las Vegas to Zion National Park to Grand Canyon to Flagstaff to El Paso to Carlsbad to New Orleans to Tampa to Miami to Daytona Beach to Savannah to Virginia to Washington D.C. to Philadelphia to New York.
They took up temporary quarters and ultimately rented 222nd street on 10-12-31.
They took another trip, in the Winter of '33, to Florida and back.
I will search my Whitaker file ASAP in order to see if I can date this license for you.
