CHARGES HURLED AT ATTORNEYS (Continued From Page One) man in th • streets,” Dr. Krohn explained, in defense of his charges. “When a man does something you r Vt possibly conceive of doing, you will naturally expluln it by saying ‘Why, that man must be crazy’.” Reports given wide circulation to tile effect the defense would try to diow that Leopold and Loeb first planned to murder Loeb’s younger brother, then plotted to kidnap Leopold’s father, were denied' vigorously by Clarence Darrow, chief' defense counsel. , - “Those are lies—-nothing but lies,” Harrow said. Pr. Krohn, however, announced every precaution would be taken by the state to “spike” any such testimony should it be offered by the defense during the course of the trial, which opens August 4. “The defense will use every means possible,” Pr. Krohn predicted, “to have these murderers lent to an insane asylum instead of the gallows. They will try to make the jury believe the boys are insatie. They will paint the defendants blacker than they really are. They will try to show that they arc ‘different.’ from ordinary people. "A man may depart a long way fioni the normal conduct of the ’average man’ and still be very sane and! responsible, “Take the so-called human spider who earns his living by scrambling up the steep sides of tall office build-J ings. The average man prefers to be.

a doctor, clerk or baker. He may even consider the ‘human fly’ a bit of a ‘nut.’ "But suppose the spider from his dizzy height pulls a gun and shoots down into the street and kills a baker. He. is just as guilty of murder and Just as responsible as if the baker had pulled the gun and shot the spider. "It is the same with these university students. They departed a long way from the actions of the ‘average man,’ they were remarkable students, and their interests wpre along strange lines, but that cannot possibly excuse them for the murder they committed.” Interest in the sensational murder trial, scheduled to open in criminal court before Justice John R. Cavalry, August 4, is becoming more intense. Both state’s attorneys and counsel for the defense admit it will be a hard fight to obtain 12 men on the jury

Firestone Leads on Speedway with Five Record Breakers When the race driver selects his tires he does so reah. ;ig that his life and chances for success depend apon them. It is significant that all of the ten money winners in the Indianapolis race were Firestone shod. Firestone, using gum-dipping and other special processes, has developed tires to such a high degree of efficiency that at Indianapolis, May 30th, the following drivers broke the world’s record for 500 miles over this brick track, making many rounds at over 100 miles per hour. hJever before were tires put to such gruelling service, where it was necessary for every ounce of rubber and every fibre of fabric to work in perfect unison with every other part.

Firestone -or years has been first to develop tires and nms complete which would meet the heavy trucking loads, great strains and demand for traction. By originating and carrying forward the uhip by Truck movement, and establishing Ship by Truck bureaus in all large cities. Firestone helped to speed up highway transportation and reduce costs. Balloon Tfee Leadership Firestone s latest contribution to motoring is the iow air pressure or Balloon Tire. This, the original full-size Balloon, was made practical by the special Firestone Gum-Dipping process, insulating every fibre of each cord, adding great strength and stamina. Firestone has also simplified the application of full-size Balloon tires t* your present car by designing a special unit consisting of tires, tubes, rims and spokes applied by any dealer at a very low cost. Leadership Ag&inst British Rubber Reserictfcn Act Attacking the unsound and uneconomic character of the British Rubber lie (fiction Act limiting the exportation of rubber from the Far East, Firestone was the one large tire manufacturer to take up the cause for the car owner. _ Soon after the agitation was started for America to produce rubber under its oivn control, the cost of crude rubber wa3 reduced and tire price* brought back to normal.
