Not only is the German carpenter sane, but he shows no sign of over having suffered any mental ailment, the experts declared in a report which they submitted late yesterday to District Attorney iSamuel J. Foley, of Bronx county. The fifth psychiatrist, retained by the defense, is preparing an independent report for submission to Hauptmann's counsel. He declined to discuss his findings. Two of the reporting alienists represented JFoley and twb were from New Jersey, whore the Hunterdon county grand jury will meet Monday to act on indiotments against Hauptmann for the kidnaping and murder of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., in 1982. Legal activity Monday is also scheduled in the Bronx, where Hauptmann is in jail, accused of extorting the $60,000 ransom .from Colonel Lindbergh. The prisoner's attorney, 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 a ransom note to Dr. j John F. (Jafsie) Condon, * revealed last night what he described as an attempt on his life and said he could recognize an accomplice of Hauptmann as well as identify Hauptmann as the man who gave him the note. An automobile swerved in a deIterate 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 asserted, had stepped from his cab just before Hauptmann approached and gave him a dollar to deliver the note. The Philadelphia Inquirer said today that it had learned from an "unofficial 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 Governor A. Harry Moore and Attorney General David T. Wilentz of the Garden State refused to discuss the matter. .Davis was unavailable for comment. The Inquirer's informant said he would serve as special counsel without being sworn in as deputy attorney general. Another development was the announcement of Alexander iSimpson, special prosecutor in the Hall-Mills murder trial, that friends of Hauptmann had asked him to defend the war-time German machine gunner if he is extradited to New Jersey. No decision has been reached, Simpson said. ^ I Do You Know That A murder is committed in the United States every 44 minutes. The area of Turkey is 294,41)2 square miles, reading forward or backward.
