expected the witness to spend his
lunch hour at a task of forgery. De
fense attorneys Harrow and Barh
rach, however, falrlv warbled their
sense of “insults." Then they went
out to lunch.
When both had been swallowed,
(he doctor resumed his testimony, at
the afternoon session, with a quota
tion of Loeb's reaction to the thought
of death on Ihe gallows.
‘‘Well, It's too had a fellow can’t
read about it in the papers."
To the prospect of long Imprison

"I wonder If I could arrange to
have all the newspaper clippings
about me saved until I get out.”
Leopold, said the witness, gave an
swers to the same questions just as
disconcerting, if not quite as flippant:
‘‘I would rather hang than betray
my dignity by revealing the secret of
my life and thoughts.”
Whatever secrets of life and
thought are still Leopold's after a
week of expert vivisection of both,
mf he may keep forever, according to
defense counsel, who announced that
neither defendant will he called to
testify under any circumstances.
Twenty Students Called.
They will plead with many tongues
but not their own. Twenty university
student friends of the pair will he

version of the alienists' final finding
that Loeb— v
"Is suffering from a disordered per

primarily in a profound pathological
discord between his emotional and in

it as a split personality.
And Leopold—
“Is a paranoid personality, suffer

and a profound disorder of judg

These are Hr. Glueck’s terminology,
not very different from that of his
two alienist colleagues of the defense
and the terminology- that has never
failed to bring a foam of remon

word beginning with the consonant
