NEW YORK, October 6.-District
Attorney Samuel J. Foley declared to-
day that his case against Bruno Rich
ard Hauptmann, alleged Lindbergh
extortionist, was complete with the
exception of some slight details"
Foley said he was ready to 60 to
trial and expressed his conviction that
Hauptmann would be found guilty of
the extortion charge.
The district attorneys announce
ment followed shortly after a meeting
between the German carpenter and his
, wife in Foley's ONCE.
Wishes She Could Remember.
Hauptmann and his wife, who has
consistently declared her husband
could not have been connected in any
way with either the kidnapping Of the
Lindbergh baby or the extortion, were
together for about IS minutes. Haupt-
mann was led to the courthouse from
the Bronx County Jail by four sher-
IFS deputies.
Following the meeting Mrs Haupt-
mann was asked what her husband
had said.
He talked just like anybody else"
she replied.
Asked If she could remember what
Hauptmann did the night of April 2,
1892, when DR.. John F. "Jafsie"
Condor tossed $4,000 ransom money
to an emissary Of the kidnapers over
the wall of a Bronx cemetery, Mrs.
Hauptmann exclaimed:
IF only I could remember three
years back it would be such a help"
She placed this evaluation on the
evidence brought out thus far by the
district attorney:
If people would only tell the truth"
she said. everything will be all right"
Declare Suspect Sane.
-Four of the five alienists who ex-
amined Hauptmann yesterday say
that he is sane.
Not only is the German carpenter
sane. but he shows no sign Of ever
having suffered any mental ailment,
the experts declared in report which
they submitted to District Attorney
Samuel J. Foley of Bronx County.
The report was signed by Drs.
James B. Spradley and James A. Con-
nelly Of New Jersey. and Drs. s.
Philip Goodhart and Richard H Hoff-
man of the Bronx.
The fifth psychiatrist, Dr. James H.
Huddelson, retained by the defense, is
preparing an Independent report tor
submission to Hauptmannis counsel.
He declined to discuss his findings
viii Seek Access to Records.
Legal activity Monday is also sched-
uled in the Bronx. The prisoners at
torney, James M. Fawcett, will ask
for a court order permitting him to
inspect grand jury records. This
move is preliminary to a motion to
dismiss the indictment.
John Perrone, the taxicab driver
who delivered ransom note to Dr.
Condor, revealed last night what he
described as an attempt on his life,
and said he could recognize an ac-
complice of Hauptmann as we'll as
identify Hauptmann as the man who
gave him the note.
An automobile swerved in a delib-
crate attempt to run him down nearly
a year ago, Perrone told investigators.
He leaped to safety on the running
board of his cab.
The accomplice, the taxi man as
serted, had stepped from his cab just
before Hauptmann approached and
gave him a dollar to deliver the note.
Davis May Be Prosecutor.
The Philadelphia Inquirer said to-
day that it had learned from an '.un-
official but unimpeachable source in
New York City, that New Jersey had
retained John w. Davis one-time
presidential candidate, to assist in its
prosecution of Hauptmann.
The newspaper said Gov. A. Harry
Moore and Attorney General David T.
Wilentz of the Garden State refused
to discuss the matter. Davis was un-
available for comment. The Inquirer's
informant said he would serve as spe-
cial counsel without being sworn in as
deputy attorney general.
Another development was the an
nouncement of Alexander Simpson,
special prosecutor in the Hall-Mills
murder trial, that friends Of Haupt-
mann had asked him to defend the
wartime German machine gunner If
he is extradited to New Jersey. No
decision has been reached, Simpson
said.
