Joe, it was Joyce Milton in "Loss of Eden" who wrote that Baker succeeded Ellerson at Armour. If Ellerson omitted Armour from his employment history in a statement to Inspector Walsh, it might have been an oversight...or very possibly a deliberate evasion (assuming only that Ellerson feared Walsh was on the right track regarding Baker.

Re: Thank you for the NJPD Duane Baker Report — Joe for Ronelle and Bob Mills, Tue Aug 8 13:10

And thanks again Ronelle, for placing the Baker Investigation Reports on your site. This guy obviously had a load of street smarts and I believe he was able to direct and deflect any attention which... more

    Bob, I've previously read that Ellerson was involved in some position on the "inside" at Armour and I'm wondering if perhaps it was a subsidiary or parent company to Armour, and just under a... more

  Joe, I don't have Joyce Milton's book at hand. But I'm quite sure she identified Baker (Bacon) as having replaced Ellerson at Armour. I have no other source for this information. It can't be... more

    Bob, while I've always thought of Baker as a good suspect, I'm afraid I don't share any of your enthusiasm at all for a Capone connection. Capone had nothing more than a mistaken belief someone he... more

      Well, Joe...if Capone couldn't validate his promise to return the Eaglet to his parents, then he'd have been guilty of obstruction of justice or some similar offense. And if Hauptmann had been a lone ... more

        You might be right after all, Bob (insert LOL) as to Capone's involvement in the LKC. How's about phrasing somewhat differently? Such as: Capone was musing and talking with people who worked for/with ... more
      - contract law and omertà — bob mills for joe and forum, Thu Aug 10 04:55
        
        That's about the way I see it, Joe. Let's remember that in 1932 we (the public) knew relatively little about how the Mafia functions. All that changed in the 1960s and afterward, with the Valachi... more

        Bob, it's hard to know where to start in rebuttal. Perhaps Capone admitting to knowing nothing, but of course offering to altruistically help out for a get out of jail free card, (nothing to lose)... more
        somebody would have talked — bob mills for joe and forum, Sat Aug 12 12:03
        
        Joe, I have in fact written a book about this. "Conscience of a Conspiracy Theorist" dealt specifically with your belief that "too many people would have (talked)..." which you advanced in a recent... more
        Re: somebody would have talked — Joe for Bob Mills, Sun Aug 13 07:19
        
        Bob, it wasn't my point specifically that someone would have talked. Please read my post again for the reasons I stated. I actually disagree with Jack. Anyone directly involved in a case of this... more
        capone and the lindberghs — bob mills for joe, jack and forum, Mon Aug 14 09:48
        
        I wish Capone would come back to Earth for a few minutes, so we could question him about his offer to return the Eaglet to the Lindberghs. If Capone had been DIRECTLY involved with the kidnapping,... more
        Talked — Jack, Sun Aug 13 22:54
        
        If Capone, or anyone besides simply Hauptmann would have been the perpetrator, there would have been people who simply knew about the crime or were lightly involved such as being a messenger who... more
        Capone — Jack, Sat Aug 12 00:09
        
        If Capone had anything to do with TLC, especially orchestrating something from jail, too many people would have had to have known about it to have kept it quiet. Silence among criminals probably... more
        Bodies — Jack, Sat Aug 12 05:28
        
        That may well be. I just think that the Capone theory, the Lindbergh did it theory, the Baker "connection" and whatever else people can dream up should more clearly be labeled as speculation instead... more
        the code of omertà — bob mills for jack and forum, Sat Aug 12 04:40
        
        Jack, all I can say is that for every rat that talked about a mob escapade, there's a dead body at the bottom of a river somewhere.
        Baker - Smart? — Jack, Fri Aug 18 13:11
        
        Regarding all that Baker stuff, I can't see anyone smart enough to know what omerta meant leaving his own address at a place where he exchanged ransom bills which could have gotten him executed. It... more
