Jersey Expects to
Beat New York to
Legal Punch.
State Feels Conviction on
Minor Charge Barrier
to Second Trial.
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Oct. 1.—Extradition
of Bruno Richard Hauptmann to New
Jersey to stand trial for the killing of
Baby Charles Lindbergh before the
alien ex-convict is tried in the Bronx
for allegedly extorting $50,000 ransom was looked for by Governor A.
Harry Moore tonight.
This announcement followed the
disclosure by Attorney General David
T. Wilentz of New Jersey that new
evidence found since Saturday has
strengthened the case against Hauptmann. He would not discuss it.
"We shall probably move for extradition before Hauptmann goes on trial
in New York," Governor Moore said,
"but much depends on our position."
Fears Legal Brawl.
After a conference with Wilentz and
Superintendent of State Police Norman Schwarzkopf, Governor Moore
said that New Jersey, if its evidence is,
ready, would prefer to extradite before the extortion trial—now set tentatively for October 10—to avoid any
possible difficulties in the event of
conviction in the Bronx.
Jersey prosecutors would have tc
prove only that the stolid, tight-lipped
Hauptmann had a share in the kidnaping to convict him of murder.
Attorney General Wilentz, announcing before the conference with Moore
that extradition in all probability]
would not be sought this week, was
"Has New Jersey completed the
preparation of its case against Haupt-
"Nn." he renlioH
Foley Brooks No Delay.
In the Bronx, however, there was
every indication District Attorney
Samuel Foley is prepared to go to^
trial on the extortion indictment with
the evidence already amassed.
The further questioning of persons,
mostly friends of Hauptmann who
voluntarily came to the courthouse,
was termed "unimportant" by Foley.
The district attorney emphatically
stated the trial would proceed without the further indictment of any one
as "John Doe" or "Jane Doe."
Although the request for a psychiatric examination was made originally
only by Defense Attorney James M.
Fawcett—supposedly to study the possibility of an insanity defense—Foley
said New Jersey officials wanted at
least three psychiatrists to examine
Hauptmann and that he wanted sev-.
eral physicians to represent him at
the test.
He said one of the psychiatrists
would be Dr. S. Philip Goodhart, a!
professor of clinical neurology at New
York university. Dr. Goodhart has",
aided Foley in several other cases. j
Still Work on House.
As the thorough digging and search
at the Hauptmann home in the Bronx
was renewed, three old automobile
license plates were found imbedded in
oncrete foundations of a lily pool
in the yard. This gave impetus to the '
work of the searchers, who were de- '
termined to dig up the entire yard
and dissect the house from top to bot-
if necessary to account for all the
$50,000 ransom money.
