Prosecutors asked for a week’s delay in a court hearing for confessed New York subway gunman Bernhard H. Goetz so they can present additional evidence to a grand jury. Goetz, 37, said nothing during his brief appearance in Manhattan Criminal Court. A grand jury is considering an indictment against Goetz on charges of attempted murder and illegal weapons possession. He is charged with shooting four teen-agers who harassed him on a subway train Dec. 22 and asked him for $5. One of the four has slipped into a coma and was listed in critical condition.
