Plattsmouth, Neb., Aug. 1.—For the second time In two weeks Sheriff E. P. Stewart of Caea county has routed former Sheriff C. B. Quinton and his friends In court here. Two weeks ago Judge Carroll O. Stauffer of Omaha ordered Quinton to vacate the living quarters In the county Jail and enjoined him from further claim ing that he la sheriff of Case county or that Stewart Is not sheriff. Today Judge StaufTer permanently enjoined A. L. Tidd. Ralph Haynie. A. F. Sturm and Quinton, at well as all other taxpayers and citlxens of Cass county, from filing a protest against the payment of salary and tees allowed Stewart by the county ;ommleslonert. SI,000 Still Due Him. Stewart was granted a temporary Injunction some time ago which per mitted him to collect his salary for June and. today, after the permanent Injunction had been granted, he filed claim for his July salary. He still has a claim of $1,000 against Cast county outstanding which Is being held up by suits (lied by Haynie, Sturm and Quinton's sis ter, Mrs. Palmer. This fight will go to district court befo/e Stewart can get his money and. It was said Ijere today, will be decided In September it a special session of court. Hemring Takes Day. On the witness stand today Haynie and Sturm declared that they had brought suit against Stewart, which prevents his getting his $1,000, at the request of Quinton. Frank P. Shel don, another witness, told the court that he had been asked to (lie a pro test, but had refused. The hearing today consumed the better part of the day. The defend ants urged that to grant the perma nent Injunction sought by Stewart would be tantamount to preventing the filing of an appeal against the payment of any claims that Stewart might put In, no matter how exorbi tant it might be. The plaintiff main tained that he did not seek to bar any taxpayer from his constitutional rights of appealing claims, but only the claims contested on the ground that Stewart Is not the legnl sheriff.

The governor sent the first telegram July 30. A reply from the president was received July 31. The president in his telegram stated the governor was at liberty to make public the two telegrams. The govern or’s telegram follows: “Associated Press dispatches from Washington quotes War department as saying In effect that there was nothing in thqjr plans for national test day from which the governor of Nebraska could draw inferences that the War department desired or ex pected a mobilization of the civil or Industrial forces of the country on September 12. The newspapers of July 27 carried a letter from you to Frederick J. Libby, executive for the national council for the prevention of war, quoting you as saying anent the controversy over the governor's proposal, for observance of September 12, as test day as follows: 'In some unofficial and entirely unauthorized way the defense test has b£fcn denom inated mobilization day. The govern ment did not do this. It would be proper to call It Inspection day but It Is not a mobilization and the gov ernment Is not responsible for any such designation.’ Approved Suggestions. “As governor of Nebraska I ap proved the suggestions for national test day when It was first brought to my attention and have authorized the mobilization of all of the military units of the state; have appointed the adjutant general of Nebraska to represent me and advised him that proclamation and other encourage ment would be given to all patriotic societies In Nebraska to have suit able programs for defense test day. I am still co-operating and approve my original understanding of what the plans for test day were to be, but on July 26 there came to my at tentlon for the first time suggestions sent out by the eommand*r of the Seventh army corps area a different meaning from thoee expressed In your letter to Mr. Libby end those expressed by the Wsr department In Washington.

Thinks Loeb Real Killer Bt AeMx-lated Free*. Chicago. Aug. 1,—The dual person ality composed of Nathart Leopold and Richard Loeb. worked 'almost devilish Ingenuity" to produce the kidnaping and murder of Robert Franks, according to Dr W. A. White, who testified for the defense today before Judge John R. Caverly. "Loeb considered the crime as an Intellectual feat,” said the witness. Leopold fell into the plan for the em otional premium this relationship of fered. "I cannot see how "Babe" would have entered the plot alone He had no criminalistic tendencies 'Dickie' had these tendencies, but would not have functioned to this extent by him self." The witness pictured the two youths as victims of phantasies, with Loeb still under their Influence and sinking lower all the time, but with Leopold battling them behind a self imposed barrier of Intellectuality. Considered Killing Each Other He said all had not been happy in the relationship, as each had consi dered killing the other. He was per mitted to testify to the mentality of the student defendants after the court had definitely overruled ob jections by Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney, to the consideration of any such subject as a mitigation to pun ishment. The decision was farreachlng. In that it admitted alienist observations for that purpose for probably the first time in Illinois courts. It per mitted the defense to show, after a plea of guilty, "mental disease short of legal insanity" as a circumstance to be considered in fixing the penalty for a crime. Dr, White was questioned all day and was being cross examined when adjournment came. NeJft on the de fense list Is Dr. William Healey, a Chicago expert. Chanlbter Analysis Allowed. An exhaustive analysis of charac ter was permitted by Dr. White for the information of the court. At the outset, Mr Crowe interjected nu merous objections. But the few ex ceptlons. the Judge allowed the de fense to proceed along its own lines, stopping the witness only when he thought Dr White was straying from the circumstance* of the present case into the realm of academic discussion j The witness reached his observe tlons on the dual personality of the, defendants after a long review of the life history of each. He referred to l/oeb *" "Dickie " andeto lyeopold as "Babe," explaining that he fell into J the habit of applying the diminutive to the former and that Leopold hnd 1 then Insisted upon being called by his college nickname "Emotionally the hoys were In an ! infantile state.” said Dr. White. "Loeb . Is about four or five years old In that \ respect and Leopold not more than from five to seven. Rlc Riddle 1'nsolved. "Both, too, Started with a feeling of Inferiority, but while Dickie suc cumbed to this snd developed anti social tendencies. Babe defended him self by consciously building up a feel ing of Intellectual superiority forth fled by a philosophy of mechanism In which there was no God and emotion waa stifled " The big riddle of fh* case as to which boy actually stunned and atrangled Young Franka waa not solved by the doctor. Mr. Crowe asked him about It on cross examina tion hut the witness said h* had not taken up that aspect of the crime with the subject. "It really made no difference aa to their guilt," he anld. "Who do you think killed Franka?" peralsted Mr. Crowe “It muat have been Dickie." said Dr White. Loeb visibly gulped when this came i out He leaned forward and appeared to grip himself. Leopold looked thoughtful snd stroked h1s chin Ths doctor said the homicide "could not he underatood unless the two were examined Jn the light of their relations with each other."
