I would like to try and connect two reports:
1)"I saw him (eg Schippel) referred to on more then one occasion as "mad" which leads me to believe this is who Waxey Gorden was referring to when he told George Clarke that a local "mad-man" had murdered the baby.....and he told Clarke this before the child was found." MM
2) May 21, 1932; Mills, Arthur -- Identification expert Maryland House Corrections. Connects to mysterious rumrunner from NJ who said that the Lindbergh babe was dead before it was found? Mills said. Mills declined to- give the name of the man, but said he had sent it to The New Jersey State Police officials- in- vestigating the kidnaping. SEARCH INTENSIFIED N. J., May was intensified today for the mysterious gangster, believed to be connected with the Lindbergh baby kidnap case.
3) Even if its not a matching person--the prediction is?

Hard to say Rick....lots of "rum runners" (and Gangsters) from NJ at the time. I found Waxey's statements interesting in light of the totality of the circumstances and the fact I hadn't seen much about him in the investigations from the NJSP. According to Agent Sisk's report (summer of '34): Lieutenant Keaton stated that his organization was perfectly satisfied that Morris Rosner, Spitale, Bitz, Madden and all the other underworld characters who had anything to do with the case, knew absolutely nothing that would help; that they were all inter-meddlers and the State Police had no intention of investigation them any further. Now one must consider that the NJSP may have been misleading the FBI. Unfortunately that is a real possibility. Next one must also consider the NJSP were simply wrong about these conclusions they made here. Finally, they could have been completely right. Anyway, thought I'd provide a little insight concerning this as it may apply to your post above.

Hello Michael--thanks for the reply. I just thought it was interesting that all these gangsters claimed to know Charlie was dead before Allen, CAL and the cops? - Arthur Mills claimed to have recognized the rumrunner from a previous encounter in December 1929 in Ocean City MD (or NJ )whereas Mills was guarding a large confiscated shipment of booze. His buddy the mystery gangster was bailing out those arrested on the scene. See NYTimes for 22 May 1932/
- We should surmise that Waxey Gordon, beer baron of Elizabeth NJ, was hooked up with Max Hassel and Max Greenberg--two of the four gangsters named by Gaston Bud Means as the kidnappers. Waxy was in the Carteret Hotel in Elizabeth when the two Max's were shot and killed in 1933. He ran off just in time.
- Do you have any additional insights into Gordon Clarke? Why did Waxey admit to knowledge about the LKC?
