Comparison With Leopold-Loeb Case Arouses Public Opinion for Condemned Chicago Youths
Bernard Grant Puts Hope in Mother’s Visit to Governor, By GEORGE BRITT NEA Service Writer IHICAGO, Sept. 18—Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard i__j Loeb, their lives saved, in' Joliet penitentiary; Bernard Grant and Walter Krauser, under sentence of death on the gallows, awaiting their fate... This is the spectacle in Cook County today which has caused not only a cynical nodding of heads but a State-wide investigation of the judicial scales and a rumbling, increasing appeal for clemency-. In his plea for mercy- for Leopold and Loeb before Judge Caverly. Attorney Clarence Harrow made the assertion; “If we fail in this defense, it will not be for lack of money. It will be on account of money. Money has heen the most serious handicap we have met. There are times when poverty is fortunate, and this is one of the times.'’ Consider now the difference in stories of Harrow's young clients, whose parents are estimated to possess an aggregate of $15,000,000 or more, and of Grant, son of a carpenter who lost both legs in a railroad accident, and Krauser. son of a street car crossing Ragman. No High-Priced Counsel On Dec. 21, 1921, Policeman Ralph Souders was killed while trying to prevent the robbery of a small grocery. Krauser and Grant were arrested. Krauser admitting participation In the crime and Grant denying it. They fought the case on a plea of “not guilty.” Leopold and Loeb kidnaped and slew little “Bobby” Franks last May, were detected, pleaded guilty and fought the death penalty. Leopold and Loeb were each 10 when sentenced. Grant was 20 and Krauser 19 when they were sentenced. Motive of the robbery, according to Krauser, was to get some money for Christmas. The motive for the murder of “Bobby” Franks was a desire for a thrill and for the SIO,OOO the two plotters hoped to extort from the boy's millionaire father. Grant and Krauser each had less than the eight grades of common school education, while Leopold and Loeb were university graduates. Grant and Krauser lived in rented frame houses “back o' the yards;” Leopold and Loeb. in fashionable Hyde Park mansions. Krauser “Queer,” Say Folks Krauser was represented at the trial by a lawyer serving without pay by appointment of the court. Grant had a lawyer retained at a cost of $1,700, all the family could scrape together. Leopold and Loeb had Clarence Harrow and the Baehrach brothers. Krauser's family testified he was “queer.” following a blow on his head from a brick when he was 8 years old, but the evidence carried little weight. Expert alienists at $250 a day built up for Leopold and Loeb their elaborate psyciatrical mitigation theory of "emotional de-

‘SOLOMON’ THREA T MA Y UNITE FAMILY Judge Suggests Child Be Put in Institution When ‘Follies Girl,’ Wife and Publisher Admit Sordid Stories,
By FRANK GETTY, UnitS. l Prcfs Staff L'orrcsi/on'lrnt NEW YORK, Sept. 18. —When the wise King Solomon proposed to cut the baby into two pieces and give half to each claimant, the rightful mother was speedily established. In a drab New York courtroom. Supreme Court Justice Aaron J. Levy, by a threat not quite so dras tic. was believed today to have paved the way for reconciliation between husband and wife In one of the most sordid and sensational legal battles for possession of a little child in the city's legal history. Court land H. Young, magazine publisher, and his “Follies girl” wife may be forced back to domestic felicity by the', judge's threat to

the action of the Supreme Court upon his verdict, which imposed likewise a death sentence. Such are the facts, if one cares to arrange them side by side. “My mother is going down to pop the Governor,” says young Grant, contemplating a future which at present promises less than one month of life “I am ready for anything, hut I hope some good may come of her visit.”
take their toddling daughter. Rosebud, away from both and put the 2Vi-year old girl In a Catholic institution. Mother Screams The woman screamed when Justice Levy made his suggestion and was carted half fainting from the courtroom to a corridor, where she clutched the bewildered child to her breast, crying over and over: "Take away my baby—no’ no! never!” And forthwith she offered to try life anew with the publisher, who had presented proof of infidelity or. her part which shocked the court room, while admitting on his part a iife in which the moral standard was not set too high. The legal fight begun by Young to have his once beautiful wife declared incompetent to retain custody of their child was brought out unpleasant details of their life since their separation, in which cocktails, pajamas, kisses and hotel register.} were jumbled In sordid array. Against this background, while lawyers drew startling stories from negro witnesses and accusations and tears flowed freely, little Rosebelle, called “Rosebud.” prattled about the courtroom. Once Zf4gfe!(J Beauty Mrs. Young, who was once a beauty of the Zeigfeld show, admitted many things, and her husband, under cross-examination, did likewise. Among the latter's confessions was that ho had been convicted of being the father of a nameless child born to a woman he had “picked up.” When the case was adjourned until Saturday it was to permit counsel to present petitions alleging misconduct by Mrs. Young in Asbury Park, N. J. The attorney explained this would prove the wife was not a proper person to have charge of Rosebud. “I am afraid,” said Justice Levy, "that both parties have proved their cases." Then he made the suggestion that the Youngs might welcome having their daughter sent to an institution pending the outcome of court proceedings.

PAVED ROAD 10 FI. WAYNE ASKED OF COMMISSION Delegations From Huntington and Marion Join iri Request Here, A concrete road from Indianapolis to Ft. Wayne was discussed by the State highway commission and delegations from Huntington. Marion and Ft. Wayne at the commission’s regular monthly meeting Wednesday. The route is on State roads 7 and 11, now surfaced with gravel. The conference was a sounding of the possibilities of the pavement rather than an emergency discussion, according to John D. Williams, director. Construction of such a pavement would depend upon the development of the commission's finances, Williams said. The commission agreed on a tentative 200,mile paving program for 1925, instead of the 400 miles originally planned for each year. About 200 miles are being paved this year. The same revenue is expected in 1925. Advised that the Noblesville Kiwanis Club has adopted a resolution to ask the highway commission to include th concrete Noblesville road in the State system, Williams said that inclusion of the road would depend upon the development of the system and Os course, the money available for maintenance. The commission' would have no objection to taking over the road if money is available and if the development of the whole State system would not be impaired, according to Williams. The road was paved under the county unit system. The road now shows signs of surface disintegration and it is believed that the Noblesville club seeks to place it in the hands oOthe commission before the disintegration is irreparable.

Campaign
DAY BY DAY
Democratic leaders learned with mingled feelings John W. Davis’ open espousal of Woodrow Wilson's policies. The candidate’s declaration in favor of the League of Nations before a group of lovya women cheered a considerable faction of the ! party and disheartened others who bore in mind Cox’s defeat in 1920 on the same issue. Interest in the independent campaign centered on a speech by Senator La Follette at Madison Square Garden in New York tonight. “Fighting Bob” is expected to cite evidences of misrule in the two old parties and generally flay the activities of the present Government. Senator Wheeler, his running mate, continued his attack on Daugherty and the “Ohio gang” in his Ohio tour. T Republican managers were encouraged at first results of the Literary Digest's poll of the Nation’s voters. They pointed out the poll is compared to that of 1920, shows only a slight loss for Coolidge as against the vote for Harding. From Far and Near Jack Edward Griffith, 29, seems <determined to wed Mrs. Sarah Elizabeth Fray, wealthy 72-year-old Portsmouth, Va., woman. The clerk of one court refused to issue him a license unless both parties appeared, so Griffith hied himself to another court, and finally got a license. Griffith rays it is purely a case of love.

LOCAL TOURISTS BACK Four Women Return From Trip Abroad. An audience with Tope Pius XI, a trip through the French battle fields and the formal opening of the Olympic games are the high spots of a three months’ European trip just completed by Miss Helen Trent, Mrs. Josephine Curtis, Mrs. J. V. Stout and her daughter, Miss Josephine Stout, all of Indianapolis. England, France, Belgium, Italy, Monaco and Switzerland were visited. Mrs. A. R. Smith, formerly of Indianapolis, a sister of Mrs. Curtis, was hostess to travelers for three weeks at her home In Paris. On the return trip their steamer was caught in the end of the storm which swept through the Arabic, Causing much damage. MOST PITIFUL SIGHT IN LIFE is a man or woman who has no “will-power” as a result of nerve force exhaustion All the physical suffering which may be caused by nervous irritability, headaches, backaches. Indigestion, heart palpitation, etc., as a result of nerve force exhaustion, arc nothing as compared with its awful effects upon the mind and "will power.” The most pitiful sight in life is a man or woman who has ‘ no will’’—who lias noble impulses and desires, but not enough “will power’’ to carry them through. The memory also fails, the judgment is bad and everything therefore seems to go wrong. In such cases, do not take more stimulating medicines nor narcotic drugs (which only further injure your delicate nervous system), but what you need is something to put more nerve force into your nerves and more iron into your blood to help make new nerve force with which to fe“d your starving nerve cells. This is most effectively accomplished by the free use of Nuxated Iron. This valuable product contains the principal chemical constituent of active living nerve force in a form which most resembles that in the brain and nerve eells of man. It also eontains strength-giving organic iron for the blood and may therefore be said to be both a blood and a nerve food. Millions of people are using it. Satisfactory results are guaranteed to every purchaser or the manufacturers will refund your money. Beware of substitutes. Look for the word “Nuxated” on every package.
