INSANITY TO BE SLAYERS’ PLEA Battle for Lives of Chicago Youths Set for August 4 BL WILEY S. SCRIBNER, Universal Service Correspondent, Chicago, July 18.—When Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb are brought to trial for murder on Aug ust 4, the first move of their a. torneys Is expected to bo a motion to post pone the case to a later date, it was learned Sunday. The state Is expect ed to demand an Immediate trial. The question will be one for the trial Judge to decide. Insanity, as was predicted when tbe two college youths were arrested for slaying little Robert Franks, will b« the main plea of the defense. Ths state of Illinois will not hang a crazy man for murder. So the trial may b« to determine whether Leopold and Loeb are sane or Insane. Clarence S. Darrow and Benjamin Bachrach, attorneys representing the college youths, began to lay the groundwork for their Insanity de fense almost Immediately after Leo pold and Loeb had confessed. Alienists examine lsdi A dozen alienists, retained by tht defense,, have had the youths under constant observation for more than a month. Most of the alienists have completed their work and submitted their reports to Dr. James Whitney Hall, noted alienist of Chicngo and chief of the sanity investigation for the defense. These reports are said to agree, that the youths are suffering from some form of mental derange ment, probably moral imbecility. State’s Attorney Crowe, Who will personally conduct the prosecution, has had four alienists for the state examine Leopold and Loeb. But It was only a superficial examination, lasting only a few hours. That was while the prisoners were in the hands of detectives, before they were turn ed over to the coroner’s Jurors. Since the prisoners have been in jail, they have refused to submit to an examin ation of state alienists. To have the youths sent to an asylum for a few years appears to be the best the defense can hops for, in spite of unlimited wealth and social prominence, according to opinions of lawyers and laymen. Demands Desth Penalty State’s Attorney Crows has an nounced he will prosecute the case with a view to sending the youths to the gallows. Nothing less than hang ing will mitigate the crime and satis fy the state, he contends. Public sentiment Is divided. The average n an oil the streets will fell you what he thinks will be done with the youths, rather than express an opinion as to what should be done with them. At the county Jail the youths have been the center Interest among other prisoners. They have received their meals from a fashionable restaurant each day, flowers have come to them, pretty girls have called on them. They have taken their imprisonment lightly, never appearing to feel but that they will be free. "They can't keep us here always,’’ ths remark credited to Leopold when he chafes under the confinment. Niiy lhi niiKi The trial may continue for week*. Testimony of each of the experts may require days and it Is estimated that not less than (100,000 will be the cost of prosecution to the state of Ill inois. Unless the youths are set scot free—and nobody expects that— the supreme court will be called upon to pass on the finding of the Jury and the trial judge. A little flaw would mean a new trial, more delay and criminal lawyers can see the case dragged through months and pos sibly years. While the case Is set for August 4, there are few who believe It will be gotten under way on that date. The matter of selecting a Jury will prob ably require many days but before the choosing of a Jury is started a long period of skirmishing for posi tion is expected with possibly a post ponement to another term of court. The defense, It Is said, as in all criminal cases regards every hour of delay beneficial. LOGAN JOINS CONFAB London, July 12.—Col. James A.

CHARGES MAIN ISSUES DODGED -W. D. FOULKE Head of Civil Service Re form League Attacks Major Parties Washington, July 13.—Ones again the major political parties have side stepped -the main issues of better ment of the classified federal service in the platforms, according to Wil liam Dudley Foulke, president of the National Civil Service Reform league. "The politicians of both parties," Koulke declared, "wanted to make us believe that they were in favor of the merit system—the republicans by showing what tremendous services the party had rendered it, and tho democrats by showing how their ad versaries had crippled and degraded it, Rnd by their promising their own account more complete fidelity. The efforts of both sides were laughable.” The republican declaration that im provement in enforcement of the merit system “has been marked and effective under the present admini stration.” Foulke termed "a glgantio whopper." “Not only was there no improve ment,” he continued, "but a distinct degradation of the principle.” While discovering some merit in the democratic plank, Foulke assail ed the doctrine that "every ex-ser vice man, however low, is to be pre ferred to every other competitor, however high, ns meaning the “de struction of the merit system." TOURISTSLAIH; HUNT FOR IOWAN Michigan Man Beaten to Death in Camp at West Liberty Cedar Jtapids, la., July 13. (Spe cial)—Police and sheriffs in all east ern Iowa counties are bending every effort to run down Gabe Simmons of Tipton, la., who is wanted in connec tion with the slaying Saturday night of Orton Ferguson, age 30 years, a tourist of Atlanta Mich., in a tourist camp at West Liberty, la., near here. Ferguson’s brains were beaten out with an Iron bar which the murderer dropped by the body after stripping it of all clothing and leaving his own wornout shoes and trousers behind.

She ran screaming and the man fol lowed her, telling her not to be alarmd that he would find her hue band. He ran from the park. Thir ty feet away Mrs. Ferguson stumbled over the dead body of his husband. Simmons, the man sought, was recognized by Fred Budke of Quincy, 111., he havinp known him at Tipton. Budke said he had been posing as custodian of the camp for two day*. Other tourists said Simmons had been directing campers where to sleep et night, getting them ns far apart «t possible.

PROGRESSIVES TOUT BRANDOS Supreme Court Justice Of fered Second Place on LaFollette Ticket Universal Bervlce. Washington, July 13.—Louis L Brandeis, member of the United States supreme court, has been of fered the progressive indorsement for second place on the LaFollette ticket this fall. This was learned Sunday from sources close enough to the progres sive headquarters to give it every semblance of authenticity. The LaFollette supporters want Brandeis as vice presidential candi date for a number of reasons. First and foremost, they recognize in the eminent member of the supreme bench, one of the most brilliant minds allied with the progressive movement. Brandeis has hosts of friends all over the country among the Intellectual radicals and there friends are ardent admirers of his views and his courage in expressing them. Second, Brandeis Is a democrat and comes from Boston, an eastern state. They hope in this way t« either capture Massachusetts .vr to so cut down the Coolldge vote as to throw the state to the democrats. Third, they think they can capture New York with Brandeis 0(1 the ticket, and this Is the reason *bey would be willing to lose Massa chusetts to the democrats for New York has 45 votes In the electoral college. The LaFollette followers feel that If they can persuade Brandeis to leave the bench and go on the ticket with "Fighting Bob," they can be sure of the electoral vote of Now York state. No word whatever comes from Senator LaFollette as to his views on the matter. It is known that he and Justice Brandeis are close friends and that they and their families have been visitors at each other's homes recently. Justice Brandeis is said to have declared that he can best serve the progressive cause by remaining on the bench. Together with Justice Holmes, he constitutes what pro gressives call the "liberal minority,” of the court. These two usually sign the dissenting views of the minority whenever a question Involving liberal policy is decided by the court.
