Scope and content

London. These articles, except the bullet-holed diary, were found by police in the possession of Ian Ball, 26, who pleaded guilty at the Old Bailey today to attempting to kidnap Princess Anne, the attempted murder of two police officers and wounding two civilians. The diary belonged to shot PC Michael Hills; the bullet which pierced it is still in his liver. The keys are for the handcuffs, two pairs of which are locked together to provide leg shackles. The guns, of Spanish make, are a .22 Astra (left), with six spent rounds, three live rounds and 39 spares; and a .38 Astra with five spent rounds and 19 spares. The gloves were worn by Ball during the incident. See PA story "Ball" timed 1234
