The Baldwin & Co. robbery occurred in Newark, New Jersey in 1865. The company was owned by Wickliffe Erastus Baldwin. Charles Frederick Lindauer (1836-1921) and Louis Julius Lindauer (1842-1915) were charged with stealing $9,000 in jewelry from Wickliffe Erastus Baldwin (1817-1871). At trial Louis Julius Lindauer was identified by employees as casing the jewelry factory two days earlier. Both were acquitted at trial. $9,000 in 1865 is worth about $160,000 in 2019.
