MONEY LUST ONLY
MOTIVE FOR CRIME
(Continued From Pan One.l
street and stopped the demonstra
tion.
It was a scene that rivalled those
in the time of Louis XIV in the days
of the French revolution.
The defense alienists were bitterly
excoriated by State’s Attorney Crowe
and he charged the defense had im
posed upon the court all the way
through. The "dream world" of the
defense was an Invention, to save
the necks of the slayerB—to bring
It out of the category of ordinary
murder. The real motive was money.
He said:
"They gambled for such high stakes
that not even their millionaire com
panions could stand the pace. They
had to have money; they conceived
the Idea of this crime, not for a
j thrill, but for money.
"Money, money, money! It is all
through this case. Yet Darrow says
It was only a case of two poor little
rich boys wandering in the dark, look
ing for a teddy bear.”
And he called for hanging to pro
tect society.
"My God, judge, how the mothers
of Chicago would shudder If their
children were on the streets with
these two mad dogs at large," he
shouted.
Tells of Cunning.
He told of their cunning and de
clared It was only by "an act of God”
that they were apprehended.
“When the glasses that Leopold
had not used in three months dropped
In that lonely stretch of country near
where these two defendants had
stuffed the naked body of Bobby
Franks—It was the hand of the just
God,” he said.
And the prosecutor told of the cun
ning of the defendants after they
were lodged In jail, or their plot to
escape by the use of a “few thousand
dollars for guards and guns.v
"Was that so unreasonable; did that
show mental sickness?” he asked.
Sarcastically he referred to the re
ports of the defense alienists:

Gale May Delay
U. S. Army Fliers
Favorable Weather Conditions
Needed for Long Hop to
Indian Harbor.
By DAVIS WALSH.
By International News Service Staff
Correspondent.
On Board U. S. Cruiser Richmond,
Aug. 27. —(By Wireless.)—Forecasts
of a northeast gale today made It
unlikely that tho United States round
the-world fliers would he able to hop
off tomorrow morning on the 585
mile leg of their historic air Journey
from Ivigtut to Indian Harbor. Labra
dor.
If the weather forecast proves true,
the American aviators—Lieut. Lowell
Smith and Lieut. Erik Nelson—would
he compelled to buck a gale, whereas
they need every advantage In their
favor to make the long jump back
to the mainland of the North Ameri
can continent.
The leg of the Journey to Indian
Harbor Is the second longest open
water hop of the world flight.
“I regard the completion of this
next Jump as a surety of success for
the entire^ undertaking If success Is
not already assured,” said Lieut.
Commander Leighton, aviation officer.
"This Jump Is not particularly diffi
cult. although a fog is prevalent. I
do not blame the tilers for not tak
ing any chances. They have already
accomplished too much to do that.”
Lieutenant Nelson's machine has
developed feed valve trouble, making
it necessary to install new motors.
The trouble began on the jump from
Hornafjord to Reykjavik.

Deputy Brodauf, a democrat, op

socialists elected as deputies, but who
were In jail when elected and who

The communists made a rush at
Brodauf and one of them struck the
deputy In the eye, whereupon the so

rescue of Brodauf. General fisticuffs
ensued, lasting for several minutes.
There were bloody noses, black eyes
and bruised faces.
President Wallrnff, his calls for or

the house in dlsgURt, thereby closing
the session.
