Here is another of many issues surrounded and confounded by clouds and confusion: eg Why Did CAL, Anne and Jon commandeer a ship and sail to England on Dec 22 1935??? It shouldn't be all that complicated to comprehend: - Gov Hoffman went to the Trenton prison and interviewed BRH in October 1935
- The Press did not find out until November 1935
- Based on his beliefs and questions about BRH being the Lone Wolf kidnapper, Hoffman put together an independent investigation as the Gov of NJ.
- This included Dr. Erastus Hudson(fingerprints) , Det. Ellis Parker, Small & Jesse Pelletraue( handwriting), , Robert W Hicks (ballistics)
- All the above had a penchant for skepticism about the NJ Justice and death sentence for BRH on circumstantial evidence.
- CAL (England) and Condon (Panama) bailed for other shores to avoid subpoenas and testimony before a NJ Court of Pardons.
- Hoffman and Parker were blacklisted for life for bucking the System.

It seems the fugitive departure of key witnesses should have been suficient for NJ. to order a new trial, but the deception of justice must go on. Ifind the whole case hard to belive in it's facts, and wonder how a judge could have even given the case any credence.
