Defense In Franks
Case Nearing End
CHICAGO, Aug. 22—The defense
todity neared the end of its plea
before Judge R. Coverly for mitiga
tion in the punishment of Nathan F.
Leopold, jr., and Richard ‘Loeb, sci
ons of millionaire families, for the
kidnapping and murdering of young
Robert Franks.
The last of four eminent special
ists through whom the defense has
attempted to prove the youths are
“mentally sick,” spent the entire
two hour session of court on the
witness stand today. He dissected
Leopold’s personality as he had that
of Ix>eb yesterday. Leopold, he said,
was fit mentally to fall in with
Loeb’s plan to “commit the perfect
crime.” Because of the mental state
to which he had been reduced
through physical deficiencies , fail
ure of certain glands to function
normally and a strange “king-slave”
phantasy which had persisted from
childhood.
Having put Loeb’s personality to
vivisection yesterday the mental
pathologist, Dr. H. S. Hulbert of
Chicago, dealt almost solely with Le
opold today.
“The jpsychiartric ca^se of the
Franks crime is not to be fcrtind in
either boy alone, but in an inter
play of their friendship,” he said.
Leopold was described as by nature
kind and almost unwilling partner
in the murder of the 14-year-old
Franks boy. Only Leopold’s obedi
ence necessary of his “dream king”
kept him a partner even after his
intellect told him commission of a
“perfect crime” was impossible, tes
tified Dr. Hulbert. Leopold wanted
to postpone the kidnapping and mur
der and go to Europe, he added .
Illuustrating to Judge Coverly by
use of large x-ray photographs . of
Leopold’s anatomy, Dr .Hubert
pointed out what he said were
glandular irregularities. He men- ■
tioned the pineal, pituitary, adrenal j
and thyroid glands. He described
the functional {regularities as res
ponsible for Leopold’s admittedly far
advanced intellect and the stilling of
his emotional growth after the age
of seven or eight years.
Dr. Hulbert said that the x-ray
disclosed that the cartilage between
the plates of Leopold’s skull had be
come bone, unusual in one of 19
years as the process generally devel
ops after the age of 30.
The youth’s intimate association
was not always a pleasure to them
asserted the witness, but he declar
ed “each boy felt inadequate to
carry on the life most desired some
one else in life was found to comple
ment him.’’
Leopold wanted a superior for a
companion, and Loeb wanted some
one to emulate him, said the doctor,
as he analyzed the alliance that
led to the murder of the Franks boy. |
Dr. Hulbert still was on the stand |
when the hearing was adjourned at
noon until 10:30 a. m. Monday .
Clarence S. Darrow, chief of de
fense counsel, stated after adjourn
ment that possibly four additional
witnesses would be called and the
defense rest its plea for mitigation
of punishment Monday afternoon.
Allan and Jacob Loeb, brother
and uncle, respectively* of Richard
Loeb, and Foreman Leopold broth
er of Nathan and the Loeb family
chauffeur, would be the last defense
witnesses, Mr. Darrow indicated.
He said that they would be called
upon to identify certain exhibits
and not to give extensive testimoiy.
Immediately upon the defense
resting, Robert E. Crowe, state’s at
torney, will launch a vigorous re
buttal in furthering his demand %for
the death penalty.
Former friends, university in
structors .servants in the Leopold
and Loeb families and prominent
\gomen, some of whom were pupils
of Leopold in his ornithological
class, are named on a list of fifty
prospective witnesses, announced by
Mr. Crowe as having been summoned
to testify that the youths are Sane
and constitute normal actors in what
he has called “a perfect hanging
case.’’
Rebuttal will require possibly
four days, the (prosecutor indicated.
Prospective time needed for the
state Mas reduced today M’hen Mr.
CroWe agreed Math Mr. Darrow not
to call more than four alienists if
the defense would cut off expei't
testimony with that of Dr. Hulbert.
CANADIAN LOSES MACHINE
WHEN HE TELLS CUSTOMS
OFFICE!? HE IS A TOURIST
BELLINGHAM, Wn, Aug. 23.—
William Katzmark, American Cus
toms officer at Blaine, yesterday
through the aid of the local sheriff’s
office, seized a new Oldsmobile car
purchased by a Canadian when the
latter was accused of obtaining the
machine by misrepresenting his trip
into the United States.
According to information given out
by Ben Roush, state highway pa
trolman, the Canadian citizen cleared
through the Blaine office, saying lie
was going to tour in the United
States. Instead, hewas said to have
driven here in his old Ford car and
traded it in as part payment on a
new Oldsmobile.
Roush’s suspicion's were aroused
when he noticed that the American
Oldsmobile, bearing a British Colum
bia license, with a What county
sticker on the windshield.
