LEOPOLD AND LOEB
COMMITTED OTHER
CRIMES SAYS ATTY.
ATTORNEY MARSHALL CLAIMS
EITHER OF THREE PUNISH
ABLE BY DEATH
CHICAGO, August 27—Attorney
Marshall, tor the State in the murder
trials in Chicago this week, argued
that Leopold and Loeb committed two
extra crimes punishable by death in
Illinois, that of rape and kidnapping.
In reading the lawr out loud govern
ing these two offenses, he brought
out emphatically that they should suf
fer the penalty of death. The de
fendants gave no visible sign that the
phrase wTas heard. Marshall ridicul
ed the defense’s attempt to show mit
igation of punishment by the testi
mony of mental experts. They said
there was “no philisophical excuse
for the crime.”
B’arried for Anothei Death
T \It:S. III., Aug. 27—Joseph Tract
father of Norman Tracy, University
of Chicago student whose body was
found on the school campus Novem
ber 23 of last year, left today for
Chicago where he will confer with
States Attorney Robert E. Crowe of
Cook county. Tracy has secured in
formation which he says leads him to
believe that t was Loeb and Leopold
who murdered his son. The state
today continued its summary of tes
timony on which it hopes to obtain
death senence lor the two boys.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—The eager
crowd which gathered hours before
the Daverlis court opened was kept
out of the court room when Attor
ney Darrow for the defense began
his closing chapter of arguments for
Leopold and Loeb. Friends, attorneys
and court attaches only obtained the
275 seats.
CRIMINAL COURT ROOM, Aug.
27.—Attorney Darrow pictured the
enormous amount of wealth which
had closed all doors leading to deni
al of the tragedy as “terible misfor
tune this terrible case.” He also
said that Congressmen, Judges, Law
yers and even State’s attorney have,
in their youth, done something wrong
but it had been their fortune not to
get caught.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27.—Attorney
Darrow concluded his three-day plea
for mercy today to save the state of
Illinois from “shame and disgrace’’
in the hanging of nineteen and eigh
teen years old boys. “Hang boys of
such tender age this day and age
takes us back to barbarism—and, if
your Honor hangs a boy at the age
of eighteen it is violation of the pol
icy of law, violation of the spirit of
humanity. Some day, another judge
may hang one seventeen, fifteen or
even fourteen.”
CRIMINAL COURT ROOM, Chi
cago, 111., Aug. 28.—The final battle
to save Nathan Leopold and Richard
Loeb, scions of wealthy Chicago par
ents from the extreme penalty end

tice displayed by State Attorney
Crowe once more took up the offen
sive before Justice Caverly ,in whose
court the darkest crime in the an
nals of Illinois have hadd all its hear
ings.
Attorney Crowe for the state ex
pressed his views strongly in an en
deavor to obtain a death sentence
for the brutal murder of the youth

Prominent Missionary
Here From The Yukon
B. W, Gayther, a prominent mis

the Yukon for a number of year, ar
rived in Seward on a recent train,
with his family, en route to Alex
andria, Va., where Mr. Gayther will
enter the Virginia Theological Sem
inary for a two-year course of study.
Mr. Gayther has been stationed at

His mission is known as St. Paul
White and Indian Mission, and is un

erend Peter T. Rowe, well known
missionary, and bishop of the Episco
pal church for Alaska.
Mr. Gayther states that conditions
are good at Eagle, the camp being
prosperous. The Indians have a
large cabin for clubroom purposes,

are held. Since Indian Charley, chief

there has been no head to the tribe,
but Mr. Gayther is trying t6 have
one appointed, believing it is better
for them to work under organized
direction.

night in the M. E. church to a large
audience. He will leave with his fam

Ethnologists Puzzled
By Peel River Indians
Ethnologists throughout the world
are puzzled over the origin of the
Peel river Indians, a tribe in the
Yukon teritory, the river being a
tributary to the Mackenzie. These
Indians are as black as negroes, but
have long, straight hair, and aquiline
features. They are said to be proud
of their blood and have no mixed
marriages. Whether they are an off
shoot of the Hindoo race, or are des
cendents of some tribe coming up
from the far south has never been
settled by the few ethnoloigsts who
have studied these Indians.
At the present time there are three
villages of them, all prosperous and
in good circumstances. Like the Se
ra inoles .however, they are vanishing
because of their antipathy to inter
mary with other tribes.
Suker Says Seward
Is Fine Alaska Town

is one of the finest towns in Alaska.
“I met many old friends here, and
I made a few new ones . These old

Pioneers! Some day a Kipling will
write their epic, and it will be a
bright page in American history.
“The slogan of the people in this
part of Alaska should be: ‘Watch
Seward Grow.’ You are only on the
threshold of your coming glory, and
geratness, and material prosperity.
“Good luck to Seward, in Alas
ka, or out of Alaska, anything I can
do to promote her progress will al
way be cheerfully done.”

EXAMPLE—TAKES PLACE
ON THE ALTAR

FAMOUS MALAMUTES
PASS WITH PROGRESS
NENANA, Alaska, Aug. 28.—The
malamute dog, tor many years 1%
famed steed of the north, apparently
is destined to go.
With the coming of the railroads,
dog teams were driven farther into
the interior. And now the preval
ence of reindeer herds and the
growth of the market garden ar^l
the town-lot garden have caused re
strictions to be drawn around the
malamute until he is coming to be
classed a nuisance in the more set
tled parts of southeastern Alaska.
The malamute had his genesis in
the wolves and wild dogs of the
north. All fowls and quadrupe^
were his common prey. But when,
in more modern days, a malamute
began pulling down reindeer and
the livestock of farmers, he was
treated as a wolf and hunted down.
Owing to the light demand for
dogs, it is difficult to procure pure
bred specimens south of the Yukon,
and the one-time aristocrat of the
Arctic is becoming mixed with the
blood of so many mongrels that
he has almost lost his identitv.
