Was Hauptman guilty?

He claimed that he was storing the money for a friend (Isidor Fish) who died in Europe, since Isidor had borowed money from Hauptman, He feelt it was right to use the money he found.
The rail of the ladder is proven to be a part of the attic floor in Hauptmans home.
Even if the floorboard connected the ladder from the crimescene to Hauptmanshouse there is no evidence that Hauptman was around the Lindbergh estate nor that he knew his ladder where there.
Condons name, number and adress was written by a journalist, he confessed to it several years later.
Condon pointed out Hauptman as ”Cemetary John” who had recived the ransom, and Charles Lindbergh claimed that the voice of Hauptman was the one of ”Cemetary John”.
But Condon didn´t point Hauptman out during a lineup, hesaid he would wait for the trial to make a statement.
Experts have studied the ransomnotes and come to the conclusion that Hauptman wrote them, but that may not be entire true.
Hauptmans writing matched the ransom notes, but stil the points they points to is something every german in Haputmans generation was learned to write.
Its more likely that the letters where written by a scandinavian or a german.
Of course there is a big chanse Hauptman wrote the notes.
