If Fred hauled bootleg he had to come in contact with my Uncle who lived at the Drake Hotel in Chicago, as he was connected to Detroit and Chicago overseer of bootleg commerce you might say.   The gold certificates were safely hidden until the late  sixties when they were traded for real gold.

I like to hear from people who have such information, as what we are told by the Lindberg story tellers doesn't make sense, and believe they contrived it so in order to make the case un-solveable.   If we don't listen to the story tellers the case events may actualy fit together.   The gold certifices, if your story matches mine, may have been traded for a load of whiskey.

My husbands father came from Sicily with Frank Nitti on same ship.
