is SWELLED TO $11,500
tuberculosis Hospital Campaign Is
Continued.

hospital campaign continued today,
following the announcement of a
total of S11.5O0 in funds yesterday
by Frank B. Flanner, campaign

The announcement said the
spoon was sharpened on the
bowl end and that the other
end was bent, apparently so
that it formed a crude weapon.
The spoon was broken into four
parts when found. The bowl Of the
spoon had been flattened out and
sharpened 1t was in two parts.
The handle. also in two parts,
had been bent into a hook.
Jailers would not discuss either
the possibility of suicide or a jail
break attempt However, it was an
nounced that Hauptmann hence
forth would eat with paper plates
and utensils. He also was moved
to another cell.
In Dangerous Mood
One report quoted jailer as say-
ing the prisoner appeared to be in
a mood which would make suicide
likely He seldom talks, seldom asks
for anything and spends most of his
time pacing his cell or just standing
and staring at the floor.
Meanwhile, investigation OF
friends of Hauptmann and of in
dications that several persons were
involved in the Lindbergh kidnap-
ing proceeded rapidly with federal
agents and police rounding W all
possible witnesses for questioning.
One man, friend of Heuptmann,
was taken by federal agents and
police to Mr.. Foley's Office shortly
after noon.
Federal agents emphasized that
he was not under arrest and that
he-like various others-was ques-
toned as to the possibility that they
had acquired some of the ransom
money from Hauptmann and had,
unwittingly, passed it.
German, Say U. S. Agents
Federal agents, who we're accom-
panied by New York and New Jer-
sey police, said the mans n$=s
would come from Mr. Foley. He is
a German.
All of the persons rounded up
were to be taken before various
tradespeople in the Bronx who have.
at one time or another, taken in
some of the ransom money.
These persons were to try to iden-
tify Hauptmann's friends as SONS
who posed ransom money.
The informal appearance Of the
witnesses at Mr.. Foley's off1ce as
sumed greater proportions during
the afternoon and it was considered
an important stage of the search
for possible accomplices.
Condor to View Witnesses
Dr. J. F. Condor, the ransom m
termediary, was expected to be one
of those to view the witnesses, and
it was said that Colonel Lindbergh
also might participate.
The Investigators best hints as to
a possible accomplish have been
given in their search for a stoop-
shouldered man and a woman, de-
scribed as Latin" both of whom
were supposed to have been at the
ransom scene.
Other developments today:
l. Announcement that a psychia-
trist and a doctor would examine
Hauptmann tomorrow, the first in
dication that the defense might plan

2. Announcement by defense
