MAKES DESPERATE MOVE NEW YORK, Sept. 28.—Bruno Richard Hauptmann stole a spoon at breakfast this morning and broke it into four pleces, sharpened the bowl and hid them in his wash room equipment. The handle of the spoon was curved into a book. District Attorney Foley said the sharpened piece might have been planned to be used as a defensive weapon or one to do violence to hims self. Hauptmann has been removed to another cell and the guards are changed hourly. Another Move Made Meanwhile defense attorney James Fawcett planned to have Haupte mann examined by a psychiatrist. Asked if he meant to base his de= fense on insanity or mental con=- dition. Fawcett replied: “Draw your own, conclusions.” Extradition J A visit to New York by a New Jersey official gave rise to the lief that final steps might be ta= ken to extradite Hauptmann to that state where Baby Lindbergh was kidnaped and slain. More Evidence Col. J. Norman Schwarzkoff, Su- perintendent of the New Jersey State Police, revealed that a jour- nal in which Hauptmann kept the | account of his finances, had beem | found in a gymnasium shoe which {was found in his garage. This is being held as evidence. It is also disclosed that Bromx authorities have in their posses- sion the sleeping suit and thumb guard of the slain baby.
