Nathan Leo pold Jr. and Richard Loeb, sons of millionaires and confessed slayers of 1 4-year-old Robert Franks, were vic ti:us of an "intellectual complex" which made them irresponsible for their crime, brillant scientists who have been retained by the defense are ready to testify. A complete volume, the result of exhaustive research and medical ex amination of the two "super-intellec -Is" in the ' prison laboratory," is being prepared. It now runs more than 2,000,000 words and the doctors are at work cutting it down to a eompreb naive analysis of the boys' case so that it can be used by de fense attorneys in their attempt to establish Ioeb and Ieopold insane. Lv.e Sensitive Ir.rtmments. Dr. H. S. Hulbert and Dr. Karl Murdoch: Bowman are the two psychiart rists making the tests. They have been examining the two ad mitted murderers for two weeks. Highly sensitive instruments used in ti." tests have been strewn about the medical ward of the county jail where the examinations were con ducted. Now the tests are about completed. All that remains to be done is to make reports that will convey to twelve jurors their belief that the boys are insane. Both boys were college graduates and wer- working at the University of Chicago for higher scholastic hon ors. Leopold, son of the millionaire head of the Morris Paper Box com pany, hrd received a Chicago uni versity degree and was studying law. Loth, whose father is Alfred H. Loeb. vice president of Sears-Roebuck ft C o.. was the youngest grad uate of the University of Michigan and also was studying law. Both are scarcely 19 years old. That the boys were precocious and therefore unbalanced mentally, will be the piea of the defense. Attorneys for the prosecution mi anwhile arc preparing a counter case. Tiny wfll use every means at their command to break down the insanity plea. Dozens of the students who were,to iDOk after some intimate s ith Leopold and Loeb i merchants here. and were familiar w.th tr.ir habits, will be called upon to testify that the slayers were normal in every! respect. The trial is scheduled to open Au gust 4. T HE Rig-Six Touring is a seven-passenger car not merely a seven-passenger body mounted on a five-passenger chassis. It was designed and built for seven-passenger service with a motor of ample power and stamina for seven-passenger satisfaction. Then, too, with the auxili ary seats folded away, the Big-Six becomes the most desirable five-passenger car in which you have ridden, with room enough for all the luggage you will ever need. Eig-Six appearance is at tractive, distinctive, and in good taste. Its performance, acceleration, flexibility and dependability are known and respected the world over. No car, regardless of price, surpasses it in quality or com pleteness of equipment. If a smaller manufacturer or assembler were to build the Big-Six of equal quality and workmanship his price would be $3,500 perhaps more. But Big-Six overhead is distributed over six times as many units as are built by any Big-Six competitor, hence Big-Six cost and sell ing price arc; surprisingly low. Don't buy blindfolded. Examine, ride in and drive the Big-Six before you buy any other car. if J, F. WOLFF, GARAGE Plattamouth, Nebr. TEAR OFF THIS COUPON and mail to STUDE3AKER, South Bend.

M: j Adoo tonight, at a rally of delegates supporting him. asserted that "when ever special privilege is threatened ; by a popular outburst of public In ;dignation, it sets up a straw man issue to divert the people's attention ! from the real problems of the day." "That deceit." he added, "is be ing attempted now." From some of the things which have been printed here about the forward-looking men and women who make up the progressive democracy of America." declared Mr. McAdoo, : "it would appear that some editors have the idea, that the people who came from the south and west and from smaller cities than New York ! are easily fooled. They are wholly wrong. We may look less sophis ticated than New York editors be ' cause we live in far away and smaller places, but we haven't lost the facul ty of thinking for ourselves and knowing, when we see it, tbe genu ine from the feme. I am ctmfident that these attempts to becloud the issue and reflect upon the intelligence of the great mass of delegates is quite futile." Mr. McAdoo summed up the real issues of the 1924 campaign as fol lows: "To rid the federal government of special privileges, corruption and graft, and to prosecute all persons, whether civilians or officials, guilty of conspiracy to defraud or cheat the government." "To remove the influence of in visible government from the treas ury and the federal reserve system. "To repeal the Fordney-McOumber tariff bill, which taxes the common people for the benefit of special in terest, and to substitute a tariff bill which will help reduce the cost of living and do Justice to all Interests. "To repeal the obnoxious features of the Esch-Cummins railroad act and to set up in lis stead a measuie for railroad reform which will climate waste, reduce transportation costs.
