BOULEVARD HALT NEAR END; WAY ORDERED CLEAR Park Board Passes Resolution for Sale of City Houses, The end of the long delay in construction of Pleasant Run Blvd., appeared near today following an order of the city park board to sell the 170 houses along the boulevard site at public auction and clear ground for the boulevard between Prospect and Shelby Sts. The move to authorize the sale was made by Emsley \V. Johnson, after several south aiders- had appeared to protest against the delay. Recent surveys of The Times revealed that the city was repairing the houses it purchased and rent in„ them out to new tenants. Pail; board officials, however, explained that this arrangement was only temporary until property abstracts were in. No Opposition in Council The resolution passed by the board authorizes an ordinance to be introduced in the city council approving the sale. Little opposition Is expected in the council, since delay in building the boulevard has already been criticized by councilmen. Houses will be sold by the block to lumber companies who must wreck them and remove all material. Mayor Shank will be asked to reenter his profession as an auctioneer to cry the sale. Following the removal of the houses, the sanitary board will construct the Pleasant Run interceptor sewer system which will drain the district from Irvington to White River. Land Purchase. Urged Anew resolution for purchase of land at Broad Ripple was introduced after Park Commissioner Johnson said the city was being “he’d up” by appraisers’ prices. The new resolution calls for purchase of only forty acres of land bordering on the river north of the amusement features. On recommendation of R. Walter Jarvis, park superintendent, the board issued an order prohibiting Children on city tennnis cdurts afte--6 p. m.. giving that time to adults for recreation after working hours. ‘PEREECTCRIi INSPIRED MING (Continued From Page 1) ness must confine himself to this case.” Crowe was sustained. "What la the condition of those boys,” the judge cried. “If there ia anything wrong with the boys, let us hear about it.” Fighting every step of the way, Crowe again objected to a hypothetical question not dealing with the boys but the court overruled it. Dr. White went into technical explanation of how alienists arrive at their conclusions, through the medium of constant observation, questioning, noting the reactions and other forms. Crowe’s next objection was that the examination of Dr. White dealt with Insanity and that It should therefore be stricken from the records and he should not be allowed to testify further. , “Overruled:” the judge spoke sharply and ordered the examination of the witness to continue. Drm. William O. Krehm and William D. Singer, State alienlßts, sat next to Crowe, prompting him and interrupting answers made by the witness. “Did you examine the defendants,

Children Grow Strong at Camp Ida Wineman

Jewish children of Indianapolis who are suffering from malnutrition, and mothers who need a rest, find a pleasant home at the Camp Ida Wineman, north of Broad Ripple on White River, conducted by the Indianapolis Jewish Federation. The camp, which has six cottages and a kitchen, is delightfully located and affords splendid outdoor living conditio*y. Camp attendants are kept on the alert from early morning to late

Leopold and Loeb?" Walter Bachrach asked. “Yes. on July 1.” the doctor replied, pointing out he had made numerous examinations from July 1 on. “Where did you make these examinations?" “At the county jail,” he replied. Dr. White said that several other alienists were present, except for a few times when he made the examinations alone. Dr. White replied, in answer to a question, that he thought "prison laboratory" facilities were favorable to his examinations. Again Crows broke in with an objection to the doctor’s explanation of how he conducted his examination on the ground that the doctor was lecturing, but Justice Caverly overruled. The witness had uttered a half-dozen words when Crowe again broke in and demanded he hold directly to conclusions he reached on the boys and not the method of arriving at them. “Lecture* on Medicine” “All of the doctor s answers, your honor, are lectures on medicine — something neither you nor I know much about,” Crowe said. “That is exactly the reason I want to hear this—overruled,” the court replied. The intellectual and emotional development of a person do not always go hand in hand with the physical development. Dr. White said. The doctor said that one must consider the “inner life” of the in dividual In making such Investigations. The Inner mental life, he said, fulfills a very definite function. Here Crowe broke in with another objection. Leopold and Loeb were highly amused at the battle of • wits between Bachrach and Crowe and laughed highly at some of the points made by Crowe. “There are many desires that do not come true In reality,” Dr. White said, “but are part of the inner life.” “We are interested in the inner life of the patient because we know that in this inner life the patient has hopes, aspirations and desires which do not exist in reality, but which are none the less real,” Dr. White

continued. “The ‘organs and mechanisms of the *mind‘ can be examined by the alienists in the same way a physician examines the heart, kidney or other organs,” he said. Bachrach asked Dr. White whether he had made an examination of Loeb and what his conclusions were. Crowe objected. Bachrach then changed his question and asked that the witness describe in detail what he found In the cases of both boys. Loeb V' - Vi Weakling \ “I found that Richard Loeb was not very well —was a weakling physically until he was 4 or 5 years old,” Dr. White said. ‘‘l got much of this Information

at night. The daily program includes setting-up exercises, games, contests, swimming and a twohour rest period in the afternoon, when they are supposed to sleep. Milk twice a day and medical attention keep them in good physical condition. Every Wednesday night an original song contest is held around a big bonfire. The public library furnishes 400 books for the children. “Ann T. Dirt” is the name of the shower house, where they receive a good “scrubbing” three

from Loeb himself. He told me of his governess, a Miss Struthers, who was a very rigid disciplinarian. This nurse was very critical of him and was very careful watching his asso--1 ciations and the companions that he , kept,” Dr. White continued. "Dickie said that his governess was exceedingly foolish in her attitude toward certain things and that he did not get any information of these things until later in life. She pushed him tremendously in his school work. In general she took the place of Dickie’s mother. “Dickie expressed himself, in the word, that he never really grew up until the age of 14, and then he grew up overnight. He felt that he had been held down by the rigid discipline of his governess. He also | said she was also very jealous of his i association with others. “I found that Dickie, in order to escape the rigid discipline of his governess. fell Into the habit of telling lies. At the age of 15 he suffered a cerebral contussion caused by an automobile accident. “In college, Dickie had a rather unusual career. He was a brilliant student and it is particularly interesting to know that he was interested especially in the history of the South. He followed closely the career of John C. Calhoun and looked upon him as an orator and a defender of a lost cause.” Dr. White said that in a discussion of morals with Loeb, Loeb told him that he believed that when a man was not making enough money at his occupation to properly support himself, he had a perfect right to get more money In any way that hs could. “Least Resistance” “I found that in his course of study he followed the lines of least resistance,” White continued. “He ! took things as they came. He | had no definite plan for his life and I had no concern for what he would ; do when his college days were over. “During this period he says that j his drinking helped to dull his self criticism. He had no interest in life and felt a distinct inferiority. Even | as a child he felt he was not wanted |in his home. There was no one to i whom he could go with his childish questions and problems.”

“During his college days, his lying continued. Whereas he lied negatively as a child, he now lied positively, getting out of all sorts of scrapes by- lies." I>oeb had developed a habit of lying to a point where it no'longer came within the province of lying but developed into a patheological case, the witness said. “Dickie," the Doctor said, “built up all sorts of impossible situations in his mind and he lived in these situations. He did this so long and bo frequently that toward the and he could not distinguish between truth and falsehood.” Phantasy Life “He developed a phantasy life, Dickie himself called It picturization.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

times a week. * Sixteen boys live at “Ruff House” cottage, and attendants say the place lives up to its name. The cottage, which houses twen-ty-two girls is called “Chicken Coop.” Camp personnel: Miss Lucille Goldstlne, camp director; Alan Cleve, recreational director: Miss Hattie Feldman, assistant, and Dr. Harry Jacobs, chairman camp committee. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Smith, who prepare three wholesome meals a day, are popular.

He spent considerable time indulging in these phantasies.” In one of the phantasies Loeb pictured himself as being in jail with men and women looking through and commenting on him as a great criminal. He pictured himself as being abused or beaten. He imagined himself digging a hole in the corner of the yard and laying in it the same as he did in bed. Another of his phantasies was the thought of himself as a great criminal. He considered himself the master criminal mind of the century. He Imagined himeelf controlling large bands of desperate criminals. He Imagined himself a physical weakling, lying in a sick bed, but his great mind so wonderful that criminals came to him for advice and consultation and he directed their underworld activities. “He started to play games that suggested either criminal activities or activities of a great detective. He frequently ‘shadowed’ people on the street. He would often go In the streets and make secret signs to hts criminal band and direct what houses to rob. He enjoyed it very much. Dr. White then told of questioning young Leopold about the Franks case. “I asked him,” the doctor said, 'a number of questions to de\-elop his attitude toward the Franks case. I found it had been in his mind over a period of many months. I found that it was the daily topic of conversation with his friend, Richard Loeb.” Crowe is determined that Leopold and Loeb shall not escape with life imprisonment—the- aim of the defense. Crowe, however, still demands “the full penalty.” But If they escape hanging, he is determined they shall go to a criminal Insane asylum. Since early Wednesday he has been fighting with every bit of strategy at his command to force the question of the youths’ mental condition before a Jury. The prosecutor believes Darrow's alienists cannot go very far in their explanation of the mental vagaries of Leopold and Loeb without trespassing the fine line between "diseases of a functional character” and legal Insanity. He plans to challenge the alienists every step of ‘he way. He still hopes Justice Caverly will order a jury trial of the youths sanity of his own volition when the testimony develops. The court said he would not permit evidence of insanity to he produced, stating he “could and most likely would” order a jury trial If he Is convinced the beys are Insane. Bacliraeh Argues Court was called to order at 10:35 a. m. today. Without prellmlruvr es, Walter Eachrach one of the defense attorneys, plunged i#to a mass of precedents to defense di mand for the introduction of the medical testimony. Bachrach concluded and Crowe rose immediately to answer in behalf of the State. Crowe launched into a hitter attack on the care free atitude of the slayers during the proceedings and charged Darrow with trying to paint them as “hoys wandering around in a dreamland.” “These are not murderers,” Crowe said, with biting sarcasm. "They are mere infants wandering about in a boys’ dreamland. We ought to have a kindly old nurse tell them a bed-time story. “These boys merely broke open a jar of jam. That’s not blood on their hands —it's jam.” Crowe said the slayers had sat in ! court day after day laughing, sneering and mocking the law. “These boys aren’t superior or intellectual who say there is no God. They are boys who still believe there Is a Santa Claus. “Mr. Darrow says he wouldn’t hang any one but, your honor, you and I have the oaths of public office to perform and we must administer justice.” Crowe ended with a demand that the medical testimony be excluded. It was Indicated today Crowe will make a demand that the boys be sent to an asylum for the criminal insane If he is unable to secure a death sentence. He fears the masterly plea of Darrow Thursday has undermined his “perfect hanging case.” FISHER IN DISPUTE Value of 1,600 Acres of Long Island Land Is Involved. Carl G. Fisher, formerly of Indianapolis, founder of the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, and the Lond Island State park commission of New York, are In a dispute of serious proportions over the value of 1,600 acres of Long Island land, according to press dispatches.

Be-e-e-ware! Sh-h-h! Real quiet. The city may on the unsuspecting property owners and take $15,000 from them. Look out I It’s a deep, dark scheme, but it’s under way. Here it is: City officials have been told by real estate men there are 15,000 vacant lots In Indianapolis. Now, the city sometimes remembers to cut weeds for delinquent property owners and charge them $3 a lot.' But it only costs the city $2 to cut thefc. There you are. Receipts, $45,000. Paid out $30,000. Profit, $15,000. But that’s figuring the city will do the work and can collect the money. Both are risky. City officials don’t say what they will do with the $15,000.

PREMATURE OLD AGE OFWOMEN It is no secret* that so many women suffer from ailments peculiar to their sex. Dark circles appear under the eyes, a pale, drawn, haggard expression to the countenance, and the weakness which accompanies such ailments Is evidenced by the lagging step, headaches, backache and nervous conditions. Every woman who is afflicted in this way should rely upon Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound which for half a century has been overcoming some of the most stubborn ailments of women. —Advertisement.
