Hang Them. Reply

Pleas for Mercy

(Continued from rage One.)
your honor, to let my clients live, to
spare their families the pain and dis
grace that otherwise they must suf
fer."
That was all. The defense had
dosed. It wns Crowe's turn; his time
to argue that the youths pay for their
crime with their lives.
How It differed from the argument
of Harrow! How the cry for blood
struck the fiber of the heart after
PaipaWg patient, eloquent pleading
for hope, for charity, for mercy, for
life Itself.
"Disgrace to Families."
"They come here begging for
mercy,” exclaimed Crowe In thunder
ing voice. "They are about as much
entitled to mercy as a couple of rat
tlesnakes, filled with poison, colled
and ready to strike. They are as
much entitled to mercy from your
honor as two mad dogs. They are a
disgrace to their honored families, and
the only good purpose they can serve
now In life is to go out of It, and as
quickly ns possible.”
And the state's attorney slashes to
destroy the picture of the youth as
painted by the defense:
"When I came Into this case and
learned of Its horrible details, I
thought the playthings of these
youths were chfsels, guns nnd bottles
of acid. But now we are told that
(heir playthings are teddy bears, cow
hoy suits and kiddie kars.
"We have been in the kindergar
tens, we have been in the nurseries
and we have been In psychopathic
laboratories. I think it is now time to
come back to the criminal code. In
the criminal court."
8uper-men? No, thunders the
state's attorney:
"They are not super-men. They’re
a couple of egotistical smart alecks,
spoiled and pampered by their folks.
They repeat, parrot-llke, thqir knowl
edge. One minute one of these wise
men from the east Is coming here to
tell us they still believe In Santa
Clause, the next minute Darrow Is
telling us they don’t believe In God."
Crowe Not Like Darrow.
The courtroom was crowded as
Vrowe argued. The day was wartru
Among the spectators were a score of
theatrical folks—theatrical managers,
their wives and actors and actresses)
But somehow the demand for death
that came from the atate's attorney’s
lips did not grip tho heart as did the
appeal for mercy that Clarenc# Dar
row made.
Darrow, Immaculate English, words
that fit exactly In the plac# they be
long—Crowe, violent, not much atten
tion to English, frequent use of slang.
Darrow told Judge Caverly the
death penalty never reduced crime
Crowe comes before him with figures
to prove to the contrary. He tells
tho court tho law says that in ex
treme cases deat hshall be the pen
alty. He tells the court that a Judge
ha* no right to set aside the law that
the people have made through their
legislatures.
Then he gives his statistics to
prove that hanging does reduce crime.
"Darrow says hanging does not
stop murder." Crowe told the court.
"X ,>111 direct your attention to the
year of 1920. In a period of less than
CO days 15 men were sentenced to
death In the criminal courts of Cook
county. The records of the police de
partment and the records of the crime
commission show that as a result of
those sentences murder fell 61 per
cent In Cook county during the year."
Lurges Penalty.
Enforcement of the criminal laws,
stitt sentences, reduces all crime,
Crow's argued.
"We had a reign of terror Inaug
urated here for years by criminals
who dominated labor unions," he said.
"They were above and beyond the
law. They laughted at it and slopped
Its face. Just the same as these two
poor young sons of millionaires. For
ty-one of them were convicted In the
c ourts of Cook county. The building
Industry, that had been strangled for
ycafs, began to revive and take on
life and we have heard no more of
these criminal leaders.”
There is nothing personal In his
prosecution of the defendants, Crowe
explained. He said:
"If I were not a state's attorney, I
would have absolutely no feeling In
by heart against these two as in
dividuals. When they were In my
custody, where It was a matter of
man to man, I treated them with
kindness and consideration. But when
I bad fastened the crime upon these
defendants, then I had a duty to per
forb, a sworn duty to perform, the
same as your honor has.
“No KIglit to Forgive."
"Tour honor has no right to for
give those who trespass against the
laws of Illinois. You have a right,
and I know you do, forgive those who
trespass against John It. Cavedly,
but, sitting there as the chief justice
of this great court, you have no right
to forgive anybody who violates the
law. And you have got to deal with
him ns the law prescribes.
"And I want to say to you, your
honor, In this case, with the mass of
evidence presented by the state, If a
Jury were sitting In that box and they
returned a verdict and did not fix
the punishment at death, every per
son in this community, Including your
honor and myself, would feel that
that verdict was founded on corrup
tion."
Crowe attacked the philosophy of
Clarence Harrow that would spare
the life of a murderer. He described
it as an "anarchistic philosophy, al
most as dangerous as the crime It
self,“
Just before court recessed this
sfternoon the report of the coroner on
the Franks murder was rend Into tho
record for the first time.
Judge Caverly ordered women to
leave. Home of them were slow to
•bey.
•'Why do you persist In listening to
■ueh rot?" he cried Impatiently.
The official report of the coroner
was substantially the same ns thnt
given out unofficially soon after the
body of the child was recovered from
the railroad culvert where Leopold
• nd Lneb confessed they had hidden

Robert Buckingham, son of Everett
Buckingham, head of the Union Stock
yards company and veteran leader of
Ak-Sar-Ben, has been promoted to
assistant to the general manager of
the Armour A Co. packing plant in
Omaha, It was learned Tuesday.
Buckingham will be next to E. 8.
Waterbury, general manager, in af
fairs of the Omaha plant from now
on. He has been in the employ of
the Armour company for three years,
since his graduation from Amherst
college and return to Omaha.
Ills Chief Ambition.
Interviewed concerning his promo
tion, Bob proved a bit bashful.
"What was your Job before?” he
was asked.
“Oh, nothing much.” he replied.
"Well, what Is your job now?”
"Oh, nothing much.”
But finally he admitted the promo
tion given him by Mr. W'aterbury.
He refused to comment on any pos
sible change in the amount of his re
muneration. Nor has he any inten
tion of quitting his Job as leader of
the I.akoma Country club orchestra.
"But my chief ambition still re
mains," said Buckingham with a
smile, "and that is to be known In
Omaha as Robert Buckingham, ar.d
not ‘the son of Everett Buckingham.’
"I realize that being a son of my
father is some distinction In Itself,
but I have that 20th century desire
to make a few tracks of my own.”
Young Buckingham has taken an
active part in the den shows of Ak
Sar-Ben this year and Is prominent
in club activities of the younger club
men of the city.
He recently eloped to Harlan. la.,
with Frances Linderholm, former
princess of Ak-Sar-Ben.

enforcement department and with the
added power given him by the last
lgelslature has made a dismal failure
In enforcing the law or removing
derelict local officers.
“Complaint after complaint has
come to this office concerning failure
on the part of county attorneya and
sheriffs to do their duty. There Is
not a question btu that there are a
number of officers In the state who
are not only neglecting to enforce
these laws but are more or less 'In
cahoots' with the bootlegger.
"During the administration of the
governor preceding the present ad
ministration a half dozen, or more,
officers were removed because they
failed to enforce liquor laws of the
state. However, under the present ad
ministration there Is only one in
stance of this sort, It may sound
harsh, but It Is true, that the pres
ent governor has failed to exercise
his authority and show his good
faith In the matter of law enforce
ment by removing officers who fall
to enforce the law.
Hacked Hy Business Men.
"We have, right now, a case where
a certain county officer, supported
by the strongest kind of evidence, is
absolutely out of sympathy with the
prohibition law and will not pfoeecuto
th# bootleggers unless hs Is compelled
to do so. When he does prosecute
them It Is In a half hearted manner
and he usually pleads the part of the
bootlegger Instead of trying to obtain
his conviction snd proper punishment.
“We are being barked by gome of
the strongest business and profes
sions! men In the community and
they Insist that for the good of (he
cause this man must be removed.
"Any former governor would have
acted Immediately under our present
statutes. Whst our present governor
will do Is a puzzle."

Retribution.
Do not be afraid of that big word—
retribution. It means simply that
those those who do wrong or get Into
mischief have to pay for it. Perhape
you will understand better Just what
It means when you read about what
happened to Reddy Fox.
You remember how Reddy wanted
to drive Buster Bear out of the Old
Pasture, and how cleverly he planned
to get Buster Into trouble with the

air and yelped.
wasps, who had their great, gray pa
per castle In a certain blueberry bush.
Everything had worked out as he
hoped it would. By chasing his
tall he had aroused Buster Bear's
curiosity and gradually led him over
to the bush in which was the caetle
of the wasps. Then he had hidden
close by to watch what would happen.
Reddy had felt like hugging him
self as he saw Busier Bear walk up
to that blueberry bush and begin to
strip off the berries. He had all he
could do to keep from laughing right
out when Buster had felt the first
sting and slapped at his smarting ear.
Then things had happened so fast,
just as Reddy had hoped they would
happen, that he rolled on the ground
for joy. Y'es, sir, he had done just
that.
When at last Buster Bear had tak
■n to his heels to get away from
those angry wasps. Reddy had come
out from his hiding place with a
broad grin on his sly face. "I guess
hat from now on Buster Bear will
keep away from the Old Pasture,"
thought Reddy happily. "That was a
clever trick of mine. Y'es, Bir, that
was a clever trick of mine. My,
but those wasps were mad!"
He stood still with one paw raised,
to listen to the sound of crashing
brush growing fainter and fainter as
Buster got farther and farther away.
He was still grinning. Suddenly he
Jumped right up In the air and yelp
ed. It seemed as if a red hot needle
had been thrust Into one of his black
ears. Before he fully realized what
had happened he felt another sharp,
stinging pain and another and an
other. Those stings were in his face
and head. First with one black paw
and then with the other he rubbed his
Face. Then his paws seemed to be full
)f red hot needles.
That was no place for Reddy Fox.
With a bound he took to hl« heels.
You should have seen him go. Per
haps he could have run faster, but I
ioubt It. All the time he was whim
pering and yelping, and every now
and then he felt a new pain to maite
him yelp a little louder.
Now what happened was this:
Most of the wasps had taken after
Buster Bear, but not all of them.
Some of them had been flying about
looking for any one who might be
about there. They were so angry over

the destruction of their home that
they were ready to blamo any one
whom they might see. They had seen
Iteddy the moment he came out from
hi* hiding place. Then those who
had followed Buster Bear began to re
turn. They fairly ached with desire
to use their sharp little lances on
some one. They flew at Reddy Fox
as angrily as they had flown at Bus
ter Bear.
Reddy Fox didn’t leave his home
again that day. One eye was swollen
shut. His tongue was swollen, for one
of those wasps had stung him on the
tongue. He ached all over. Long after
he had reached home he had yelped
more than once because of a fresh
sting. Some of those wasps had work
ed their way down through the long
fur of hts coat. Never In his life had
he felt so wholly miserable, and It
was all because of the trick he had
played on Buster Bear. Now 1 guess
you know what retribution Is.
