Boys’ Professors

Dean Pound to Be Included in
Prosecution Witnesses in
Trial of Loeb and
Leopold.
By LARRY SM1TS,
International Nuni Staff Correspondent
Chicago, June 10.—University pro
feasors who schooled Nathan Leopold
and Richard Loeb In the law. Includ
ing Prof. Rosrne Pound, dean of the
Harvard law school, will he called by
the state In Its determination to show
the sanity of the confessed slayers of
Robert Franks, it was announced to
day.
Leopold look his entrancp examina
tion for the Harvard law school under
Prof. T. Nell Johnson two days after
the murder and it was sent to Dean
Pound, who will he asked If that ex
amination paper could have been writ
ten by an insane person.
Two detectives will leave today for
Ann Arbor, Mich., where Leopold and
1 ,oeh were students st the University
of Michigan until the Christmas holi
day last year, to take depositions fron*
their fellow students there toward the
same end.
They will seek also to trace the
typewriter on which Leopold con
fessed he wrote the letter designed
to extort front Jacob Franks, million
aire father of the slain boy. The
Underwood Typewriter company of
fices here notified Pierce H. Bitker
of Milwaukee, student st the Uni
versity of Michigan, that the extor
tion letter typewriter recovered from
the lagoon in Jackson park, where
Loeb threw it, was the portable ma
chine he reported stolen from his
room at Ann Arbor last November.
Reports that the state's attorney
had definitely decided to push the
kidnaping charges to trial first were
partly refuted today when State's At
torney Crowe said he had made no
such decision. Not until the date of
the trial will he make up his mind
In that matter, he said, although he
did not deny that, the kidnaping
charge might bo first on the pro
gram. Both kidnaping for ransom and
murder are punishable by death under
Illinois statutes.
Omaha Jazz stirred memories of
college days In Richard Loeb and
.Nathan Leopold, Jr., Chicago's hoy
■ layers, Sunday.
For into the prison walked Royd
Renter, saxophone jazz king from
Omaha, to whose music thousands of
©mahans have tripped many a light
*nd fantastic.
All cares of the future—trial for
murder and kidnaping, maybe even
the noose—faded for the two young
prisoners as Senter and his partner,
Jack Russell, "Jazzed it up" for them.
Sprawled on Floor.
Senter and Russell are playing at
a loop theater in Chicago. And they
Often go to the prison to cheer the
Uhfortunatee.
■ Senter was there with his saxo
^l^pbone, clarinet and banjo, while his
* partner " ragged"'' the old tumble
down piano that leaned against the
■wall of "the bull pen.”
Leopold was sprawled on the dusty
floor in the front row of a hundred
or more prisoners. His black hair
was combed hack in true collegiate
style, and his natty blue suit showed
signs of having been pressed between
layers of mattress on the bunk In his
cell. As lie sat there with his Tegs
crossed in Turkish fashion one might
easily have painted the background
of a fraternity house behind him.
Lneb was perched on a bench in the
rear. Alongside him were a couple
of bandits with whom he has picked
an acquaintance. His expensive blue
shirt was open at the neck and his
light gray trousers were In need of a
“press."
The music started. Russell smashed
his hands against the keys of the
piano; Senter blew out an Impetuous
blast from his instrument. Strains of
“You'll All Be in Kentucky Sure as
You're Born" filled the room. As the
second measure was reached a thin
smile creased the lips of Reopotd. Hts
e\ es closed and any one watching
could see that he was reminiscing.
The music, ceased with the cus
tomary rrash. A course round of ap
plause went up from the crowd of
worldly wise boys and half grown
men. Beopold came to with a start.
"Some hot music.” he whispered to
one who sat alongside.
The musicians started again. At
Imtion was directed toward l.oeb.
The perpetual smile he has worn
through all his trials flashed back,
fils brown eyes were sparkling and
his thin shoulders swayed back and
forth to the rhythm of the music.
When the players stopped he was the
lirst to break out with applause.
A group of church workers rang a
hymn or two. Several men playing
s.ring instruments rendered tw'o num
bers. A soprano sang and a ventrilo
quist performed. They meted out ami
the day's entertainment was over.
T.eopold and l.oeb marched back to
their cells with the others.

Mrs. Oriole discovered some extra

to take possession of It. She had
quite forgotten the piece of string,
which had been the cause of the
trouble In the first place. Mrs. Robin
forgot it also. It wssn t until she

Prayer and Speech Open G. 0. P. Meet;
Democratic Prayer Will Be Speech
By "BtTOS'’ BARR.
Cleveland. June 10.—The republican convention opened up h»re today
with a prayer and a keynote speech.
The democratic convention will economize on party energy by opening
with only a prayer. It will h? only a prayer hot it will also be the keynote
speech of the democratic party.
This Is the very correct idea. There Is ton much vocal power lost in
transmission during these community choruses of expatriated local poli
ticians.
A keynote speech is like the blossoms on a quince tree. It Is a
beautiful, flowery showering of splendid horticultural oratory. Rut
everybody knows that the fruit of the tree is a quince.
If a keynote speech meant anything at all. if it carried any authority
higher ttian the badge of a night watchman In a pie plate factory, what
is there to stop a ventriloquist front coming to a convention and nominat
ing himself?
President Coolldge was the hern of the keynote speech today. He was
not present, as he does not care to dip his ears into a keynote speech, lie
is in Washington attending to his vetoes. Home Is where the heart Is and
Cal Is suffering from an enlargement of the White House ventricles So
he stayed right in Washington knowing that he was in the hands of Ills
convention friends. And years ago, Theodore Roosevelt discovered that
the hands of his friends were all thumbs.
Cal did very right In staving home at the White House and protecting
his interests. There are too many candidates trying to sneak In there
now. If he were to leave that big chair for five minutes he would collie
back and find it full of affable strangers.
Although the keynote charge of the prosecuting attorney may have
become garbled In the acoustics, the general Idea of th» grand old testi
mony seems to he that the republican party will stick to Its past custom
of not being responsible for hats and overcoats unless checked.
Beers and light headaches will be authorized provided that the heavy
checks go to the right party, and republicans do not pledge themselves to
treat back. It Is a breach of radio etiquet to spill the contents of a hag
of static, but it is possible that the man who chattered today's keynote
speerh did too much practicing in front of a mirror.
When he viewed with alarm he seemed to be looking at everybody.
When he pointed with pride he had his thumbs hooked In his own lapels.
The nominating speech will be howled Thursday, making the conven
tion consist of two speeches and a prayer. It might have heen In the
proper ratio of two prayers and a speech. But, somehow, the republicans
seem to be full of that good gulf power.
Thursday night, the delegates will go back to their own homes and
resume their normal tendencies. A delegate Is the only fish that shrinks
when put back Into his own pond.
