At 9 A.M. on September 19th, a man left the front entrance of Hauptmann’s residence at 1279 East 222nd Street and went to the rear of the house in the direction of the garage and a short time later the blue Dodge Sedan, which had been parked in Hauptmann’s yard, left the driveway turned left on East 222nd Street and continued on to the Boston Road. Detective William Wallace was notified by the undersigned and he immediately got in the car and followed the Dodge Seda/. The Dodge Sedan made a right turn on the Boston Road and traveled in a southerly direction.
The Troop Buick being driven by Corporal Horn followed Detective Wallace’s car and after our arrival on the Boston Road we noticed that Lieutenant Keaten, Agent Sisk and Detective Cronin were also following the Dodge Sedan 4U-13-41 NY. Detective Wallace overtook Agent Sisk’s car and got directly behind Hauptmann’s car which was traveling at a fast rate of speed and passed several red lights. The undersigned noticed that Hauptamnn was glancing up into his mirror on several occasion after beating the red lights. The chase continued on until we were on Park Avenue between 178th Street and East Tremont Avenue, Bronx, when the Dodge Sedan slowed up due to a municipal sprinkler blocking the right of way. Hauptmann attempted to get around the truck and at this time Detective William Wallace brought the up in the rear of the Dodge Sedan at which time Trooper Dore got out and hollered for Hauptmann to pull over to the curb.
The undersigned went to the passenger side of Hauptmann’s car opened the door and slid in alongside of Hauptmann whose attention was attracted by Trooper Dore’s voice. The undersigned made an immediate search of his person for weapons and then seized his wrist and Hauptmann at that time asked what the trouble was. I informed him that he had passed several red lights and at that time Lieutenant Keaten, Lieutenant Finn, Detective William Wallace, Detective Cronin, Agent Seery arrived and Lieutenant Keaten removed a wallet from Hauptmann’s rear trouser pocket which contained a twenty dollar gold certificate A-3551785, a five dollar bill and 4 one dollar bills. The gold certificate was checked by Lieutenant Keaten and Agent Seery and it was found to be a Lindbergh ransom note.
(excepted from report by Det. Sgt. John Wallace, Subject: Dismounted patrol at Fordham Road and 3rd Avenue “L”, Bronx, N.Y. for the purpose of trying to locate a suspect who has been passing Lindbergh Ransom Gold Certificates)
