By United Preaa CHICAGO. Aug. 14.—Strength in corn was the feature of a higher grain close on the Board of Trade i Thursday. All deliveries of corn went into new high ground. Spirited buying in wheat was induced by possibility of frost in the rorthwestern growing region tonight. The Government report on corn, showing the lowest condition for many years, sent com soaring into new high ground. A brisk cash business brought sharp upturns at the epot counter. A predicted decrease in oats yield, together with strength in other grains, sent oats to a higher finish. Provisions went up with grains, hogs and foreign inquiry.

Bidding was active and the market got away to a good start. All weights were practically at the one price of $10.25 per cwt. Pigs were higher in accord with the general slump market at $8 to $9.75. Sows were higher at $8.75 to $9 for smooths and $8.50 to $8.75 for roughs. Light lights were quoted at $9.73 to $10.25. Several posters were being held to bring an extreme top of $10.30, but until a late hour these had not been sold. There were 614 hold-overs. A strong demand for good killing stock narrowed to the outlet for medium and lower grades of cattle. Few, if any, price changes were reported. Although there were no early steer sales as high as $10.50, dealers thought that if the cattle were good enough they would bring as high as $10.75. Heifers were steady with demand strong for good lights. Cows were steady at $7 top. Receipts, 1,000. Heavy Eastern orders for calves boosted veal prices from 50c to $2 at the start of brisk trading. Receipts were light and bidding was almost frantic at times. Several extra fancy calves sold at sl3. The ordinary top, however, was $12.50. The bulk of good veals brought $11.50 to sl2. Reports show a shortage of veals in all markets. Receipts, 500. Sheep and lamb prices were unchanged at $12.50 lamb top and $6 sheep top. Trading was a little slow on account of rather heavy receipts of 800.

By Times Special PLYMOUTH, Vt, Aug. 14. Colonel John Coolidge, father of the President, has beeu almost put out of bualnes as a farmer by the tourists who visit the birthplace of the President and sign the visitors’ register in the reception room. “The autos stopped at the Coolidge homestead last year at the rate of 100 a day, and on Sunday last 1,500 cars hauled up at the Coolidge house .n Plymouth while the occupants went in and signed the ‘register,’ ” said W. S. Tuttle of Rutland, a member of the Home Town Coolidge Club of Plymouth, which these days is growing apace. “The swarm of tourists may be a matter of casual human interest to the newspaper reader, but it is en economlo menace to Colonel Coolidge, a real dirt farmer, with plenty ! of work to do around the place. Out of a sense of courtesy the father of the President feels that he ought personally to greet each visitor, but they are coming too fast for him these days.”

Energy of Thought When man iworks with his body, he gives off more carbon dioxide than when he sits still and uses his brain. It cannot yet be determined how much energy is required when a man adds up a column of figures, but It Is of Interest to determine, if possible, something of the energy expenditure of nerve tissue in general. Asa step In this direction, Prof. G. H. Parker of Howard University has determined the amount of carbon dioxide excreted by the lateral lino nerve of the dogfish, the sciatic nerve of the frog, and the ventral chain of the lobster. Cattle Ranchers Lose Detailed study by the United States Department of Agriculture of production costs on fifty-five ranges in Colorado, New Mexico and Oklahoma show losses among the ranchmen during 1922.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

POOREST INDIANA CORN CROP FOR VEARSREPORTED Wheat, Oats and Hay Show Improvement During July, The conditioff of corn In Indiana Aug. 1, is two points lower than that reported a month ago and the lowest figure on record. Wheat, oats and hay all show an improvement over last month’s figures. Pastures show a decline. Rainfall was deficient during July and temperatures ranged below normal. Weather was favorable for haying, harvesting and cultivating corn, but toward the close of the month the deficiency In rainfall had begun to show its effect on the growing crops. While corn fields improved some in appearance daring July owing to favorable weather for cultivation, the crop is s*lll at least throe weeks late an. dwill require ideal weather conditions and a late season to mature a very arge portion of it. About 25 per cent is still under two feet in height. Quite a bit of corn is tassel- ; ing at half the normal height. The present condition of 59 per cent forecasts a production of 123.567,000 bushels compared with 192,816,000 bushels, the final estimate for last year.

Relatives at Leopold-Loeb Hearing

RELATIVES OF RICHARD LOEB AND NATHAN LEOPOLD JR. ARE REMAINING LOYAL TO THE SLAYERS OF BOBBY FRANKS. THEY aRE IN COURT EVERY DAY. AND THE EXPRESSIONS TO BE SEEN IN THE PICTURE ABOVE SHOWS THE STRAIN THEY ARE UNDERGOING. FROM LEFT TO RIGHT ARE NATHAN LEOPOLD SR., FOREMAN LEOPOLD, BROTHER OF NATHAN JR., AND JACOB LOEB, UNCLE OF ‘DICKIE’

TOY INSISTS HE IS INNOCENT (Continued From Page 1) bert Mors a few days ago in answer to the latter’s request that an officer be sent to “throw Kid McCoy out of my house.” “Where’s Officer Puisseger?” MoCoy asked Desk Sergeant Joseph Page. “Not working tonight,” the sergeant replied. “Lucky for him,” Page says MoCoy mumbled. < “Why?” asked Page. “Read the papers tordorrow and find out,” McCoy snapped as ho walked out of the station. Breakdown Near Detective Captain George Horne and Captain Herman Cline of the homicide squad announced today that McCoy seemed on the verge of a breakdown and confession several times during the night. “I expect him to confess the slaying before another sundown,” Home said. Albert Mors, recently divorced husband of the dead woman, does not believe his wife committed suicide. “I want ’Kid McCoy' to hang and I’ll pull the rope,” he shouted during an interview, in which he wept. ”1 knew from the beginning tha* nothing good would ever come from my wife's association with McCoy." Mors said. “I protested to her ntany times and my fears have come true. I think it was nothing short of an' act of God that, I. too, am not dead. Brands Story Lie “McCoy's story that I drove Theresa to suicide Is a He. She and 1 were friendly when we last saw each other, so I could not have been the cause of her death.” Mors was scheduled to visit District Attorney Keyes today and tell what he knows of the case. Mrs Mary E. Selby, the mother believes in the Kid’s innocence. "Surely he couldn’t havve done it. He loved her too dearly. She loved him. too,” she said. “He came to see me Wednesday morning, very early. I heard his voice outside under the window—l know his voice so well. He said Mother.’ I had been expecting him all day. He came in and put his arms around me and said ’how’s my mother?’ He didn’t say anything about any trouble. He Just wanted to know how I was and asked what time It was. It was ten minutes to i >vo. “He loved her so much. He used to tell me ebout it.” Mrs. Selby said she woulo visit her : on as soon as the authorities would let her. Says She Killed Self During a two-hour grilling last night. McCoy stuck to his statement that Mrs. Mors committed suicide by slashing herself with a butcher knife and then shooting herself through the mouth. McCoy was taken back to his cell at 10 p. m., and announcement made that he would not be questioned again until today. “Whose gun is this?” was the first question Detective Lieut. Jarvis asked McCoy. “That gun was given to me by Hubert Kittle some months before he blew out his brains,” McGpy asserted. (Kittle, a former policeman, committed suicide recently after confessing that he was involved in a bartk robbry for which three Innocent Mexicans had been sent to San Quentin penitentiary). Talk About Troubles Asked to explain the cuts and bruises on Mrs. Mors’ body, McCoy said: "Well, you see, It was this way. We had been out all afternoon. After we got home, I cooked a leg of lamb’and a lot of other stuff. You know I am a pretty good cook. Then we sat down to eat. ’’All during the afternoon Theresa and I had. been talking about her troubles and she was pretty sad. We quarreled a little, too. The butcher knife was on the table. We had been using it to cut bread. “Without warning Theresa leaped to her feet and said she was going to end it all. She grabbed the J>utcher knife and attempted to Stab hersslf in the breast.? I saw the blood spurt out and then I grabbed her. We struggled about the room and she cut herself on the left wrist and also slashed her upper lip. She was holding the knife in her right hand and I was trying to get it away from her. Gun Placed on Table “Some time before she had got hold of the knife, I had taken the gun from my pocket and put It on the table. During the struggle for the knife we bumped into the table, and : with her left hand she seized the revolver and shot herself. That’s all there is to it.” Asked where he went after the shooting, McCoy said: “Well, I remember getting Into Theresa’s automobile, and after driving around for a while, calling

on my sister, Mrs. Jennie Thompson, in Glendale. I don’t remember what I I told her or how long I remained ! In her home. After I left there, I j went to Mor’s house to kill him. He j was not at home, and then I drove ’way out on W. Third St. and went to sleep in the automobile. You know what happened this morning.” “Had you been drinking?" Jarvis asked. Had Lot to Drink "Well. I remember that I did have a lot to drink in the afternoon before the death of Theresa and then after she was dead I tsok a couple of great big drinks. I guess that I didn't know what I was doing in the afternoon." McCoy was then locked up for the night. By tonight officers expect to have in their possession an orderly story of the maze of events, which, much muddled in their relating immediately .after the tragic affair of yesterday were still unclear In several phases today. Original declarations by police that McCoy killed Mrs. Mors were ah, tered by them today and thus far they have produced no actual witnesses to the shooting nor have they wrung a confession from the pugilist. BEGAN CAREER HERE McCoy Attended No. 7 School— Received $7 for First Fight “Kid McCoy,” who broke nearly as many hearts as noses during his varied matrimonial and pugilistic encounters, started on his career at School No. 7 in Indianapolis shortly after he moved hero from Rushvllle, Ind. In 1890. at the age of 19, he first climbed through the ropes in a hall at Capitol Ave. and Merrill St. and after pummejlng his opponent for a few minutes got $7 in cash, his first ring money. Then started the great trek afbund the world, to Chicago. New Orleans, Australia, South Africa, training camps of many great fighters, with many ring victories in between. | Nine times, in the Interim, he wooed and won and divorced. Adonis of the ring, he was often | called. The stage proved a strong attrac- : tlon for the handsome “Kid” and | he spent several years theron, winding up in the movies. He made good as a fake promoter in "April Showers," starring Colleen 'Moore. He is remembered best by local fans in fights here at Tomlinson Hall about five years after he left Indianapolis.

STATE TEST OF SLAYERSSGORED (Continued From Page I) Adaptable to a comprehensive study of the boys. Bachrach brought out that some fifteen persons were in the room and that there was much hurrying about. “Do you consider those surroundings were adaptable for a mental examination?” Bachrach asked. “Oh, well, I consider that they were adaptable to bringing out certain qualities, such as the mental attitude, the ability to hold conversation. the worsting of the mind, the intelligence, the use of language and the memory,” the doctor replied. "Didn’t State's Attorney Crowe direct your examination?” Bachrach asked. “No, he asked me to observe the beys," the witness replied. Before that Bachrach brought out that Crowe was in the room and had asked the boys to tell the story of the crime for the doctor. “Well suppose you tell me the stdry as told by Loeb,” Bachrach said. Doctor Distressed Dr. Patrick brought a laugh from the courtroom when he exclaimed, in distress: “Oh, gee! Do you want me to tell all I remember?” The little doctor placed much emphasis on the word "all” and scratched his partly bald head in dismay as Bachrach replied: "Yes, all.” Dr. Patrick settled himself Into his chair mors comfortably and started a recital of the story which had already been dinned dozens of times into the ears of Chief Justice John R. Caverly, presiding at the hearing. Leopold and Loeb are playing an Increasingly important part in their defense ak the State rebuttal goes on. During Dr. Patrick's recital one or both of the boys were in frequent consultation with their attorneys, checking up on the doctor's story and supplying data of apparently considerable Importance, as the attorneys made copious notes.

At the conclusion of Dr. Patrick’s story he was dismissed from the stand. Harrow Prepares Plea The next "big thrill” at the hearIng will come some time next week when Clarence Darrow, chief defense attorney and brilliant orator, makes his argument in behalf of Leopold and Loeb. Darrow told the United Press today he -is now engaged in preparing what he believes will be the greatest speech of his long career. He expects to take up at least one day with his argument against a sentence of the gallows or insane asylum for-the youths. Darrow estimated the length of his speech at 40,000 words. , v Indications are that three and perhaps four days will be consumed in arguments by the defense and prosecution. State's Attorney Robert E. who is making a supreme effort to have the youths hanged, is expected to match Darrow’s full day of oratory. To the veritable Niagara of oratory by Darrow r and Crow'e there will be added the volume of their assistants. Benjamin and Walter Bachrach, attorneys assisting Darrow, plan to round out the phases of the case not touched by their leader. Three of Crowe’s assistants probably will exercise their argumentative powers. * Nation-wide attention has been attracted by the coming debate. Judges, prosecutors and attorneys from all parts of the country plan to be present. Demand for Seats Chief Justice John R. Caverly, sitting as judge and jury in the case and who will be the central figure for the play of words, is receiving numerous applications for seats. The capacity of the little courtroom is around 300 and Justice Caverly may find it necessary to bar lay spectators in order to make room for the professional observers Dr. Hugh T. Patrick, State alienist, who spent nearly all of Wednesday picking the defense medical case to pieces, was cross-examined by Benjamin Bachrach today. Bachrach tried to show Dr. Patricks conclusions were fallacious. PUT I(iCK IN DRY BEER Youth Goea to Jail After Making Money Fast. By United Pre FT.
