‘Ace in Hole’
Secret Report of Chicago
Alienist Will Offset Testi
mony of State’s Expert
Witnesses.
Quotes Their Own Book
By CHARLES V. SLATTERY.
Universal Service staff Correspondent.
Chicago. Aug. 10.—The strategem
that dictated the course of the de
fense of Nathan Leopold, Jr., and
Richard A. Loeh, through the legally
uncharted seas of near-insanity and
nearf-responsibllity, was disclosed to
day in the secret report of a defense
alienist.
The alienist is Dr. James Whitney
Hall, president of the Iroquois club,
prominent Chicago neuro-psychiatrist,
and a representative of science in
numerous Chicago criminal cases.
It Is apparent that It was upon the
basis of this report that attorneys
for the defense decided to enter a plea
of guilty for the two killers. For
the report, made on July 2. before
the plea was entered, showed that a
defense of insanity could not be sus
tained.
The report came Into the possession
of the Universal Service, which has
been peculiarly fortuntte In this
epochal trial In obtaining the reports
of the defense alienists.
This report is the defense "act in
the hole.” It is the answer to the
query as to what wily Clarence S.
Harrow had in mind when he built
his defense about Teddy Bears, baby
dtearns and a "lessened"—but not lost
—responsibility.
Report Not Technical.
For In this report, Dr. Hall quotes
at length from a book entitled "In
sanity and Law,” written by Dr. H.
Douglas Singer and Dr. William O.
Krohn, alienists for the state in this
trial.
The book describes as "psychopathic
Inferiors" types of persons that cor
respond in the most minute detail to
Leopold and Loeh.
And this report, on which the plea
or guilty was apparently based, Is
expected to make Doceors Krohn and
Singer helpless to attack the testi
mony of defense alienists.
If the state alienists say, as State’s
Attorney Crowe expects, that the de
ft nse of a "split personality," Teddy
Dears and phantasies, is a lot of
piffle, the defense is holding in re
serve Dr. James Whitney Hall and
his report, to show that the defense
theory is identically the same as that
evolved by the state alienists them
selves.
Dr. Hall’s report is not technical.
V was written, apparently, for tho
guidance of the lawyers.
It pronounces the two moys "psy
( bo-pathatic inferiors.”
Both havp "emotional defects” and
"defective judgment,” it says, and the
killers are "only relatively respon
sible for their arts.”
"Leopold's and Doeb’s makeup un
fit them entirely for any part In so
ciety,” the report shows. "They are
both antisocial and un social in all
their conclusions.
"Ships Without Anchors.”
They would not be satisfied In
Heaven and they would probably
wreck Hell.
"They are ships with snils hut no
anchor."
The conception of either as to re
sponsibility, be says, is practically
*•> nil.
A picture of the mind of oLeb is af
forded. through the eyes of Dr. Hall,
when the latter, in the rounty jail,
asks l oeh what he would do if he
could have a chance lo plate himself
bark at the time he started planning
the murder—November 12, 1923.
Did he say that he would not mur
der young Robert Franks, If that soul
could be recalled, and Loeb could
atart all over?
Oh, no. He Just said he would
commit the murder more perfectly.
"He said he could not nuderstand
why Tie did not search his own per
son and pockets and have Leopold
search his, so that nothing could have
possibly dropped out of their pockets.

Harrop Objects
to La Follette’s
Name on Ballot
Head of “People’s Progressive
Party*’ Also Opposed to
Butler—Insist Ford
Real Nominee.
By Associated Trees.
Detroit, Mich., Aug. 10.—Roy M.
Harrop, vice presidential nominee of
the People’s Progressive party, an
nounced here today that he would de
mand that the name of Henry Ford
be placed on the ballot in Nebraska
as the presidential candidate of the
progressive party. He declared he
would protest against the placing of
Senator La Follette's name on the
ballot as the party's presidential can
didate and would also object to the
certification of Dan C. Butler as the
progressive party’s candidate for gov.
ernor.
Harrop declared Henry Ford had
received the pre*identlal endorsement
in the Nebraska primaries. Ills ob
jection to Senator La Follette. he said,
was based upon the senator's stand
against the Ku KIux Klan. "Senator
La Follette." he said, “has raised a
religious question in his stand against
the Ku KIux Klan which I do not be
lieve Is brought In good faith.”
Says Butler Not Progressive.
"My objection to Dan Butler,” he
added, "is that he Is a democrat and
not a progressive.”
Harrop gave out a copy of a tele
gram he wired today to C. W. Pool,
secretary of state at Lincoln, Neb.
The telegram read ns follows:
“Have noticed in the press objec
tions to the nomination of Dan Butler
of Omaha as candidate for governor
on the progressive party ticket In
Nebraska. As chairman of the Doug
las county progressive party central
committee, I wish to file an objection
to Butler's candidacy and also to the
filing of the name of Robert M. La
Follette as the candidate for presi
dent on the ballot of the progressive
party in Nebraska.
Insists on Ford.
”1 shall demand that the name of
Henry Ford for president lie placed
upon the ballot In accordance with
the wishes of the majority of th"
votprs in the presidential primary
election.
"I ask that the time for the hear
Ing of objections he extended to Sep
tember i, at whlrh time T will he
free from my eastern campaign snd
will present objections to both of
these candidates and ask that the
name of Robert M. Iji Follette and
Dan C. Butler be kept off the progres
sive party ballot in Nebraska.”
Lincoln, Aug. 10.—C’harles W. Tool,
secretary of state, said he had not
received a telegram from Hoy M.
Harrop, vlee presidential candidate of
the people's progressive party, say
ing that he would demand that Henry
Ford he placed on the ballot In Ne
braska as the presidential candidate
of the progressives.
Mr. Bool said that the records show
that Henry Ford was the choice of
the party, but he was not prepared
to discuss the question as to whether
he would he compelled to place Mr.
Ford's name on the ballot. Mr. Bool
did not care to discuss the Ford mat
ter nor the matter of Dan Butler's
tiling.

Galesburg, 111., Aug. 10.—Fear that
his son, Lester, 17, realizing the ser
iousness of his act In leaving the citl
Zens’ military training camp at Des
Moines last Sunday without notifying
his parents, might commit suicide in
a fit of despondency was expressed by
the father, Harry lapidus, here to
night.
Lapidus vigorously denied his son
had hinted at suicide in a letter ad
dressed to his mother from Galesburg
last Thursday and made public the
contents of the letter to prove his
statement.
In It the boy declare* that he
has become tired of ’’long study" and
wants to do something new, find some
new vocation.
May Turn Up In Chicago.
Belief that the hoy might turn up
at a f'hlcagtj~newspaper office was
expressed by searchers here. It is
pointed out that young Lapidus has
always displayed an interest In news
papers and ha* had an opportunity
to write for his high school paper, of
which he is editor-in-chief.
Fearful for the safety of his son
and dazed by the failure to date of
his hard prosecuted search, the elder
Lapidus sat In his room at a hotel
here throughout the day while four
parties seaiehed the countryside for
clues that might lead to the missing
boy.
Citizens of Galesburg placed four
ears at the disposal of Oinahans, who

Deauville, Aug. 10.—The comedy,
"Lady Luck,'’ continues here with
all the tragic-comic energy of other
jears. Americans form BO per cent
of the gamblers end 90 per cent of
the losers. The only exceptions from
the latter class among the Americans
are a few oldtimers who are seen at
the tables every year.
Pearl White, who has quit the
Duke Du Vallambrosa for the Marquis
de la Failaise, a young, handsome and
wealthy nobleman, has Just had an
exciting experience. Pearl Is said to
take henna baths, to give herself the
appearance of violent sunburn. After
keeping dinner guests waltin for over
ar. hour, while performing her ablu
tions, the answer finally came when
it wns learned that she had made a
too strong mixture of henna and as a
result, came out of her bath a crim

Two maids scrubbed for an hour in

casino anyway, looking like a red

the general line* of the program for

Aboard . U. 8. 8. Richmond, via
Reykjavik. Iceland, Aug. 10.—The
round-the-world flying situation Is
complicated today by a new trouble.
The Danish steamer Gertrude Rask,
which has been trying to reach Ang
magsallk, Greenland, to establish the
next base for the fliers on ,*jelr way
from Iceland, is running out of coal.
The Gertrude Rask reports by way
of the cruiser Raleigh that It needs
150 tone of coal. The Rask reports
that the Ice is bad and that during
the eight days It has been stuck in
the frozen sea it haa drifted 75 miles
south from Angmagsallk. It hopes to
reach the open sea In two more days.
The Raleigh, which Is an oil
burner, Is unable to supply the Dan
ish boat with the needed fuel.
The Raleigh, which la 90 miles off
Angmagsallk, has not seen any Ice,
but a sudden drop In the tempera

Future Fliers to Chart
New Course Around Globe
By GEORGE M. PATTEY, JR.,
T’nlTtcsal A#r*1c# Maff Correspondent.
Washington, Aug. 10.—Never again
will globe-glrdlers choose the North
Atlantic and North Pacific routes.
They will hop to Hawaii In the
Pacific and to the Azores In the At
lantic. Eventually they may man
planes with sufficient flying radius to
cross the poles, but Iceland, Green
land, Labrador. Alaska and th# Aleu
tian Islands will be omitted. -
Such ie the view taken by MaJ. Gen.
Mason M. Patrick, chief of the army
air service, a* expressed today to
Universal Service In reviewing the
accomplishments thus far of the
army world fliers.
General Patrick said:
"As there was no precedent for the
venture we undertook, we had to
learn as we blazed our trail. We
made every calculation that was pos
sible short of the actual experience,
and with th# exception of the delay
In Iceland due to Ice conditions in
Greenland, we have been vindicated.
"Nobody could foretell the unex
pectedly severe weather around Ang
magsallk, nor that the Danish steam
er Gertrude Rask. the pluck little
Ice boat that always makes that port,
would be unable to get in.
"The air service has every confi
dence In its fliers and predicts that
they will And a way out of their dif
ficulties. (t means everything to
them to know that the army, the
navy and the American people to a
man are pulilng for their success.
Records Are Valuable.
"We hare already learned much
from the flight and we shall learn
more aa we carefully go over the
diaries and records telling the de
tails of the hops. The recommenda
tions of the fliers will guide ua to a
degree In attempting future con
quests.
"After the fllgTht Is over It will be
much easier to plan another, which
will get around quicker and with
l*wer difficulties Undoubtedly we
shal rearrange the achcdule so aa to
Include the Asnres as our principal
stepping stone across the Atlantic
and the Hawaiian Islands and the
Philippines aa our main bases In the
Pacific.
"I think our hops In Alaska and
the Aleutian Islands, varying from
1S5 to BS5 miles, were too long, con
sidering the severity of the weather.
More steps of 100 miles distance
would probably be recommended for
any other flight taken over that curse
“Our Douglas world cruisers were
built to hop safely 500 to 750 miles
without alighting or 90 to 75 mile*
an hour during 10 hours The plane
of the future must have a consider
ably greater radius.
"A non stop flight from Ran Fran
cisco to Honolulu, S.SOO miles, is a
thing of the near future. Kelly and
Maereadv travelled that far in a non
stop flight from New York to Ran
Diego. Wnke Island and others west
ward form a natural hrldge to the
Philippines
"In the Atlantic, the navy’s fliers
tn 1919 demonstrated the practicabil
ity of flying without a stop from
New Foundland to the Azores, some
1.S00 miles, and thence to Portugal
900 miles farther.
"We expect to see the leading na
lions establish regular air service for
passengers and mall around the world
In the near future, and the magnlfl
