Who is the guy who wrote "The Untimely Death of Warren Harding" with some help, and later was imprisoned for his life for a scam related to the Lindbergh kidnapping?

McGruff

Gaston Bullock Means Means had stolen the diaries of Nan Britton, mistress of the married (and by then deceased) President Warren G. Harding. He helped Britton write a scandalous book, The President's Daughter, which claimed that Harding had sired an illegitimate daughter through his liaison with Britton. The outlandish Means went further, writing another book, The Strange Death of President Harding, in which he claimed that, after learning about her husband's affair with Miss Britton, Mrs. Harding murdered him by poisoning. http://www.angelfire.com/dc/1spy/Means.html Hoax Two: Gaston B. Means The third day after the kidnapping, March 4, Gaston Bullock Means, a former FBI agent, fired by J. Edgar Hoover in 1924, and a swindler who had served time, contacted several influential people in New York and Washington, reporting that the kidnappers had asked him to participate in the crime, but that he had refused. Thus, he had special insights into the kidnappers, and could locate the baby and negotiate for his release. One of the people he contacted was Evalyn Walsh McLean, the former wife of the publisher of the Washington Post. http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/famous/lindbergh/hoaxes_4.html?sect=7">http://www.crimelibrary.com/notorious_murders/famous/lindbergh/hoaxes_4.html?sect=7 Jun 15 04, 2:15 AM
