CITY EDITION —---— Justice Not Baffled by Arguments Discussion Pro and Con Over Insanity in Franks Case Does Not Change Ideas of Court About It. Jury Motion» Overruled By JAMES WHITTAKER, t'nlvrrsal Service staff Correspondent. Chicago, Aug. 5.—In this trial of Leopold and Loeb, which has become as twisted and contradictory as the brains which conceived the murder of Robert Franks, there was today the spectacle of the defense fighting des perately to avoid an official declara tion that their clients are not guilty. They won as Dr. Healy, defense alienist left the stand to make place for Dr. Bernard A. Glueck, New York psychaltrist. Justice Caverly, on a motion by the state to call a jury, ruled that Leo pold and Loeb are as sane and as guilty as they were yesterday and on the day of the murder. "I don't care,” said the Justice, “what Dr. White, or Dr. Healy or any of the experts may call insanity. The term is clearly settled by the supreme :-ourt of this state. Motion overruled. 3o on, please.” One Sane Element. Lest the forces In conflict In the courtroom should finish their work with nothing but a universal head ache and a unanimous finding that this is a mad. mad world, it was im perative that Justice Caverly should make his ruling, the one sane pro nouncement in a day which sum moned all the lunacies. He waited until State’s Attorney } Crowe and Defense Attorney Bach rach had got themselves thoroughly mired in amateur psycopathy and then interfered, with a warning note of disgust in his voice. The trouble started with Dr. Healy’s final summarized statement under direct examination, of his medi cal findings, when he said: “I am forced to conclude, that. Rich ard Loeb has a thoroughly diseased m*-ntal life." He repeated the diagnosis for Na than Leopold, jr. Crowe Argues Long. Here was the basis for Crowe's charge that the defense at last snd unequivocally, had introduced ihe forbidden topic of insanity into the record, were, in fact, establishing cir cumstances of irresponsibility rather than in mitigation. He did his best and his loudest. For a long and perspiring hour he teased Dr. Healy on the stand for a definition, any definition, of Insanity. That he failed and that Justice Cav erly ruled on his demand for a Jury against him was due, not to any pov erty of his plea, but to the one elo quent fact which this trial has estab lished. No group of informed scientists has agreed on a definition of insanity and a group of uninformed Illinois legis lators has. While the lawyers and alienists arc battling over the responses of Leo pold and Loeb to questionnaire and test tube, Justice Caverly haR continu ously in mind his lunatic under the law, nothing more or less than the “crazy nut" of popular Imagination.

Virtually the entire population of the quaint hamlet of Reykjavik as sembled on the pier to watch the two great planes as they circled above the harbor Inside the seawall, searching for their buoys.

By Robert J. Prew, rnlrer«al Service Staff (orre* pen dent. London, Aug. 5.—Today's proceed ings at the allied conference, though not marked by any sensational Inci dent, may yet prove to be of even more historic importance than the Versailles conference as a beginning of better feeling between the allies and their associates and Germany. The handshakes which terminated the sitting today at which Germany’s delegation received from the British premier the protocol outlining the program for making the Dawes re port effective, were really sympto matic of a new spirit. Germany responded to the aided move, omitting all effort to raise in any form the question of war guilt, and promising to cooperate for a successful issue of the work of the conference. Premier MacDonald’s hope that the work of the council would end before the close of this week, however, is not shared by the French and <5«r mans, who think that at least a week will elapse l>efore their task is com pleted The Germans were gratified at their reception, both privately and by the conference, where the horseshoe table was lengthened to accommodate the Germans on a perfect quality with the other delegations. Prior to the sitting, while the con ference was awaiting the arrival of the French and Belgian delegations, the Germans chatted with the British and American delegates. They after 'vtid expressed delight at their re ception, esi>ecia!ly by the Americans. The Germans are concentrating on an endeavor to obtain the evacuation of the Ruhr militarily before the end of the rear and the abandonment by the French and Belgians of the ' dilution" with French and Belgian workers of the railway staffs on the left bank of the Rhine.
