on Way to Kill Leaders Wife Also Plan to Murder a Couple of Cops Felon Dislikes One of Five Convicts Retaken in Cleveland CLEVELAND, Jan. 2 (A.P,) Four escaped insane criminals plan to go to Chicago to kill their leader's wife and "a couple of cops," Russell Nuckles, their twenty five year old deserting partner, said after his capture to day by an alert Cleveland detec tive.

Nuckles and four others overpowered a quartet of attendants and stole an auto mobile to make their escape yes terday from the State Hospital for the Criminally Insane at Lima, o. McDonald quoted Nuckles as having said that Frank Haines, of Chicago, was leader of the break, and that Nuckles left the four at- Fort Wayne, on a pretext and rode a freight car to Cleveland. "Haines said he was going to Chicago first to kill his wife and a couple of cops he didn't like, and then they were going into big-time robbery," Nuckles said, according to McDonald. (In Chicago, police were guard ing the homes of Mrs.

Haines and her sister.) Not In Robbing Plot Only Marlon Pierce, Indianapolis. Negro, did not figure in the "big-time robbery" plans, Nuckles said. Pierce intended to flee to Denver, said the captured fugitive Haines is under a sentence of 10 to 25 years for robbing a filling station, and Pierce was serving an identical term for shooting to wound. William Brocks, Ohio slayer, and William Blatz, of Maine, who was serving a robbery term of 10 to 25 years, are the others still at large. All were barefooted when they escaped.

When he was captured, Nuckles wore an oversize pair of shoes which he said he obtained in Fort Wayne.

Police found the boys in a dark recess, thoroughly frightened and helpless. After the police had untied them, the boys explained that they had been playing with two other boys, Ralph Gazis, 9, of 440 Conner and Douglas Vasich, 11, of 448 Conner Ave.

The Curtis boys had tied the others up tightly and the boys had managed to wriggle out of the knots.

The subject is taken into a darkened room and told to keep his eyes closed and his mind blank. Small electrodes are attached to the lobe of one ear, which serves as the ground, and to the occipital area of the brain.

If the subject preserves a mental blankness, the line waves on the paper are somewhat regular. If a thought obtrudes, the recording lines become shorter and irregular. depending on the nature of the thought. Dr. Travis, who started his ex periments at the University of Iowa, emphasized that the process had nothing to do with intelligence or mental ability.

Schoenegge 41, shot through the left not seriously. Schoenegge asserted that Mrs. Lebow did the shooting with his gun but his superior officers and detectives investigating the case gathered heavy evidence against him. Victim Accuses Him Mrs Lebow told Detective Sergt Harold Branton and Detective Delbert Raymond, they said, that Schoenegge shot her after a bitter quarrel and that he had beaten her several hours before the shooting. Schoenegge had the pistol In his hand when fellow-officers arrived on the scene to arrest him, according to Patrolman Harry Chambers.

Detective James Payne, of the police scientific laboratory, said after making tests at Receiving Hospital that Schoenegge's gun hand was powder stained, indicating that he had fired a pistol recently, and that Mrs. Lebow's hand was not powder-stained. The wounded woman's sister said she saw him with the pistol in his hand and that he threatened her with it.

Branton, and said: "I'm going to kill you," then nieri.

Mrs. Lebow lost consciousness upon being shot and knew nothing, she said, of Schoenegge being wounded. Schoenegge shot himself, police believed, when fellow officers arrived at the house. Tells of Phone Calls The sister, Mrs. Emma Venier, with whom Mrs.

Lebow lived, said that Schoenegge telephoned the house several times Monday evening and that Mrs. Lebow told him she wanted nothing to do with him. "A little after 8 p. m. he came to the house," Mrs.

Venier said. "He walked in without knocking saying anything and went upstairs to my sister's room, Then I heard shooting. "I ran up and saw Schoenegge with a gun in his hand. I couldn't we my sister and before I could into the room he turned toward me. "I said, 'Don't shoot any Ht pointed the gun at me and 'You get out of here or you'll get some of this too."

A University of Southern California psychology professor announced tonight that thought waves soon might supplement fingerprinting as an Infallible method of identification. Dr.

Lee E. Travis said that he had proved by a series of experiments that individual thought waves of the brain could be recorded, and that, as in the case of fingerprinting, no two persons radiated identical thought waves. He has spent five years in his laboratory testing his theory, and from his findings has drawn these conclusions: 1 That the brain has 'potential activity within itself and does not depend upon external stimuli to function. 2 That every person has individual thought waves as characteristic and identifiable as fingerprints. Dr.

Travis found that electrical pulsation from the brain related to thoughts varied from 20 to 200-minir-nths cf a volt. Through a.
