America was obsessed with the Lindbergh Baby for years after the case was decided and the kindapper executed. Decided or not, the crime captivated many, and people continued to debate the case; and as time progressed, the conspiracy theories regarding the kidnapping seemed to reach out to explanations further and deeper into the Deep and Far.  

This four-page pamphlet, published in 1944 by “The Lindbergh Witnesses”, a conspiracy group evidently stationed on hapless Staten Island, pushes the barriers a little further, contending that the Japanese Empire and the German Nazis and a secret church and even the Republicans orchestrated the crime.  

The “friends” of Japan turn out to be co-conspirators in the case to what becomes the “barbarian Japs” and their Berlin counterparts.  This was easy stuff to believe, I guess, what with the world at war, even when most of their evidence seems to be exceptionally flimsy and invisible.
