Baby Kidnap Victim Found Dead (Universal Newsreel, Aug 1956)

Description

The original release sheet reads: 1. BABY KIDNAP VICTIM FOUND DEAD - The kidnapping of the Weinberger baby is solved, 52 days after the crime, when Angelo LaMarca, trapped after F.B.I. agents sifted 2 million signatures on public records to match the ransom note, leads police to the roadside spot where he abandoned the infant to die. All hope ends for the parents, and the Long Island crime that shocked the nation is closed with tragic, brutal finality. 2. IKE VISITS CALIFORNIA MISSION - President and Mrs. Eisenhower add sight-seeing to their post-convention West Coast holiday, with a visit to the historic Catholic Carmel Mission at Carmel, California. 3A/B/C. OLD TIMERS' BASEBALL - Lengendary figures of diamond history return to uniform at Yankee Stadium in New York. Good baseball and hearty laughs as past Yankee greats field a team against past stars of the White Sox–with baseball clown Al Schacht umpiring! / NATIONAL WATER-SKIING CHAMPIONSHIPS - At LaPorte, Indiana, aqua-thrills are the order of the day as water-skiiers from all parts of the U.S., and a few foreign competitors vie for the National Crown. An airborne exhibition is added to a fast-paced round of competition that puts the emphasis on skill and thrills. / ICE-CAPADES OPENS 17th SEASON - At Atlantic City, N.J., the 17th edition of the Ice-Capades debuts, an all-new show that's tops in glitter and glamor. Poetry and pageant are blended with the hilarious antics of Labreque and Gray, and the spectacular style that won Ronnie Robertson the 1956 World's and Olympic Free Style Championship.
