‘LOEB ALSO HAS DISEASED MIND’ (Continued From Page 1) ney Robert E. Crowe demanded an explanation of the "childish pact from Dr. Healy. Crowe asked point blank whether this “childish pact" concerned acts of perversion. They were childish practices, the doctor said. At this point Benjamin Baohraeh, defense attorney, leaped to his fee* and objected to revealing nature of the fact in open court. Chief Justice Caverly then ruled that the cross-examination on that point be followed in the same manner as the defense —in secret. \Vhereup4n the justice and the attorneys grouped themselves about the witness and he whispered the nature of the compart. Df. Healy said he had not aeko-1 either of the boys which one orig InateVi the idea for the crime. Dr. Healy also said he did not ask which of the boys struck the fatal blows. Not Warned Crow© asked the witness whether he had been warned to stay away from these two questions The witness answered no.
Crowe aftked the witness whether he would hot think it an Indication of insanity If a young man of good i habits and well to do Committed ft I crime of the nature of the Franks j murder. The witness replied he * would not think anything until he J had made Inquiries. "Doctor, are you of the opinion i that these boys are insane?” dej manded Crowe. The defense ob- ; jected and was sustained. The defense also raised objections to Crowe's reading a definition of insanity. bu twas overruled. Crowe read from a medical journal the following definition of In sanity: "Insanity is a disorder of the mind due to a disease of the brain manifesting itself more or less by a departure from the normal course of life.” This definition was given by Dr. William A. White of Washington, who was the first medical expert to testify for the defense. The definition was given in 1909. Crowe Overruled "Does the condition you fouhd in the minds of Loeb and Leopold come within the definition just read?” Crowe asked. The defense objected to the question and was sustained, Crowe brought out in a series of questions that murder is prompted by the intellect, that all the details are conceived by the intellect and not prompted by emotion. "In other words, doctor, a supernormal intellect and a normal intellect were responsible for all the details of this crime? Is tha tright?” Crowe asked. "Yes,” the doctor replied. "Then, you believe, don't you, that all these Teddy Bear stories and childhood phantasy is only an alibi for the defense?” “Os course I don’t believe that.” Crowe tried to bring out that /he emotion of fear operated with the intellect of the slayers. Crowe pointed out that Leopold cried out “my God, it can’t be true” when he was told his spectacles were found near body. Crowe said Leopold became faint. Dr. Healy replied that If the case,, was as Crowe stated it. did experience the emotion of fear. Then Crowe told how Loeb fainted and cried out he would tell all when he was confronted with certain evidence by the police. The witness admitted this showed the presence of fear. Chief Justice Walker of the Missouri Supreme Court occupied a seat on Judge Caverly's bench during the morning session of court. Medical |estimony Introduced by the defense by State’s Attorney Crowe, it was learned today, will be used against the youthful slayers. • Crowe believes he can turn the defense evidence to advantage of the prosecution and force question of sanity of Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb before a jury. The State has been given what Crowe terms a “solid grip” by the statement of Dr. William Healy, Boston psychiatrist, that the boys are mentally diseased and mentally unbalanced. “Legal Insanity*’ This analysis of the mental condition of the slayers ♦‘means nothing more or’ less than legal insanity,” Crowe told the United Press. If he can’t send the boys to the gallows, Crowe hopes to send them to an asylum for the criminal Insane. Crowe believes Dr. Healy's assertion shows beyond a doubt the need for a jury to pass on the men-

tal condition of the boys. He also believes evidence of the defense alienists will convince a jury the youths are insane. Crowe was Jubilant at Dr. Healy's statement the boys were unbalanced. Clarence Harrow, chief defense attorney, however, showed little concern. "If he thinks he can turn that against us, let him try it'." Darrow said. “He won’t get very far.” Dr. Healy's analysis of the youths’ mental condition was very much along the lines of the first defense alienist, the chief difference being in the Introduction of a letter touch! ig on the pathological relations between the youths. Justice Caverly is much disturb-di by the flow of letters from all parts of the country. Some of the letters demand hanging, others urge the insane asylum for the boys and stil! others ask for mercy. Justice Caverly holds the letter writers are open to charges of attempted intimidation of the court. "Anybody who trys to influence the court is a violator of the law," Justice Caverly declared.
MORE MILEAGE DN BENZOL GAS I University Tests Show it * 4 Superior to Gasoline, ' By .VEA Sm ice COLUMBUS, Aug. 5. Recent tests of a benzol fluid made by automotive experts at Ohio Btate University here, point to tho superiority of this kind of fuel for motoring. According to the experimenters, benzol gas runs cooler in an engine than gasoline. Excessive heat, they point out, has a tendency to break down motor oil and retard proper lubrication. After checking up on temperatures of the crankcase, oil and radiator, they found that the benzol fluid they used was the coolest of all with which they had experimented. The tests also revealed more mileage with benzol. Tested with some of the "anti-knock" ““fuels now on 'he market, the benzol solution ihowed as great power and antiknock results as the others. In fact, the experimenters say benzol creates a soft carbon, which easily blows out by way of the exhaust.
CRETANS BEAT US ID MODERN FADS Excavators Uncover Hotel With Plumbing, Bu Times Special LONDON, Aug. 5. The oldest hotel in the world has been uncovered by excavators in Crete. It Is far older than the inns mentioned in the New Testament, where it is related that the Roman Christians came to meet Paul near “the t.iree taverns.”, It Is iaV older, too, than the rude inns that had such a bad name among the ancient Greeks. ■For tie Cretan civilization was probably as old as the Egyptian in its crude beginnings and It came to an end in the year 1000 B. C., long before Greece and Rome came out of barbarism. In gorgeousness the Cret< n excavations have not yielded anything to compare with those of Egypt, but in anticipating the fads and foibles of the modern world, they have been sensational. The Cretans were addicted to hull-fights and the women wore corsets and flounced dresses. And they anlicipated other more useful triumphs of later ages. They had bathrooms and waterpipes and complete plumbing systems, as good as anything known to E iropeans, or Americans even, less than a century ag p. It was in Crete, too, that Daedalus lived, who Is said to have made the first flying machine.
OLD MEN EIGHT ID DEATH OVER ELDERLY WOMEN
Romance of Twilight Years Comes to Tragic BY PHILIP -I. SINNOTT, NKA Service Writer SAN FRANCISCO. Aug. s.—Who says we are total losses at 70? And romance and vixenness are only for the younger generations? Ida Hubbell, 70-year-old Inmate of the County Relief Home. Is all the refutation one needs: Ida, for whose favor two other inmates, post 70, fought to the death, and Ida, who. with Carmenesque coquetry, casts aside the survivor, Henry Mueller, 75, as he *walts here for possible manslaughter trial. The relief home inmates are all stirred up about it. On the garden henches, on the porches or in the easychairs inside, where these senile bits of flotsam from a busy, practical world are cast to die, cracked voices shrill in high treble, heads nod vigorously and canes pound on floors and walks, so Interesting and muitlslded Is the case to them. Smiles for Both For Ida still bears a youthful, firm look, despite her threescore and ten years of misfortune. And they do say that her smile and looks has made the heart of many an old Inmate speed up alarmingly. Not the least of those so affected were Hugh McCloskey and Henry Mueller. They were so keen for milady’s glances that they eliminated all others In pursuit of her favor. Then came Green-Eyed Jealousy, to stalk Romance in its trip through the home for the aged, and by bitterness and recrimination, slay Romance with tragedy. The old ladies used to giggle at the rivalry between 71-year-old Hugh and 75-year-old Mueller. It was worth dropping their knittng for any day. and It was the subject for childlike Jests among themselves. The old men, too, were quick to note how the field had narrowed to two. and they also speculated on which would win. Ida, as much the coquette as in her early days—she had four husbands in her time, she’ll tell you—was equally nice to both of her swains. Rut jealousy was there, anil between their rivalry, and the teasing of their almshouse companions, Henry and Hugh ceased to be pals and became antagonistic. And Jealousy Slew
Then one day they bumped Into each other on a stairway. A quarrel followed, with their quavering voices swelling into a crescendo of the hatred of doting rivals. Their canes thumped the stair rail, and then were flailed about as the argument grew warmer. “You leave that woman alone,” piped one. Then McCloskey tripped on one of the canes and, too old to regain his poise, fell down the stairway. He was dead. Mueller was held in prison one day, then returned to the relief home while authorities pondered over the case. And Ida—she's through with I Mueller, too! The idea, men becom- : Ing angry and fighting about her! "I saw them quarreling and I turned my back on them," she says, with some asperity. “I never could abide fighting, and I don’t want anything to do with such crankiness. At any rate, the almshouse inmates’ drab lives now have anew light—something all can discuss on an equal plane after they’ve tired of hearing the life stories of the veteran, the improvident and the plain out-of-luck.
