Leopold, Jr., and Richard Icieb, for the killing of little Bobby Franks, suddenly snapped this after noon and brought the opposing at torneys face to face, brandishing their flats in each others' faces. The flareup came during the cross examination of Dr. Archibald Church, a distinguished Chicago psychiatrist, and second of the state’s alienists to deny that the Franks slayers are mentally diseased. Clarence Darrow, chief of the de fense counsel, was putting Dr. Church through an extremely caustic cross examination when the exhibition of temper occurred. He had Just con fronted Dr. Church with one of his own text books, "Nervous and Mental Diseases," written Jointly by the Chi cago alienist and Dr. Frederick Peter son of New York. Advice to Examiners. The excerpts which Darrow read from thle bulky volume gave advice to examiners as to how to go about Interrogating and investigating a patient whose mental state was in question. This matter should be ap proached from the physician's stand point, the book stated, and particular care devoted to ascertaining the en vironment, history, hereditary and other facts about the patient. "Did you ever talk to members of the Loeb and Leopold family?*’ de manded Darrow sarcastically. Dr. Church admitted he bed not. He said he had not had the oppor tunity. "Besides," said Church, "I didn't writ# that. That was written by Peterson. "Well you have read It?'" "No." "What?" demand Darrow in mock surprise. "Aren't you a little careless with your name, doctor, that you would allow it to go over a book you never read " later Edition Dr. Church explained that thle was a last edition and some ohangea had been made In It from preceding edi tions. "Byt, In the main, you attempt to follow thl* practice recommended tiers ?** "Yes'* Darrow read more "advice” to ex miners of mental patients, to the effect that the examiners should al ways ascertain all facts from rela lives and friends, Inspect letters and writings of the patient, how they should always approach the matter from the standpoint of a physician "Did you go to these boys in the state attorney's office as a physi cian?” demanded Darrow. "Not as their phvslclan, but as a physician." "You went as Mr. Crowes physi cian, so you enujd give evidence to hang these boys?" shouted Darrow. "Darrow, you ‘know better then that," replied Church, brandishing his finger at the attorney. Voire* High Pitched.

The nominee definitely opened his campaign with a recital of the accomplish ments of the administration and a promise of "a govern ment of common sense.” He promised, too, should the Dawes plan be finally adopted as the basis of En ropean recovery, to call a world conference for the fur ther limitation of armament.
