PAGE SIX LEOPOLD fflT - PLME FOR Tl«[ Confessed Slayers of Young Franks Boy Seek to Postpone Hearing Before Jury CHICAGO, July 16.—When Na than Leopold and Richard Loeb are brought to trial August 4, for the murder of Robert Franks, the first move of their attorneys is expected to be a motion to postpone the case to a later date, it has just been learned. The state is expected to demand an immidiate trial. Insanity will be the main plea of the defehse. The State of Illinois ■will not hang e crazy man for murder. Clarence S. Darrow and Benja min Bacharach, attorneys represent ing the college youths began to lay the ground work for their insanitv defense almost immediately after Leopold and Loeb had confessed. A dozen alienists, retained by the defense, have had the y.outh under constant observation for more than a month. Most of them have com pleted their work and submitted their reports to Dr. James Whitney Hall, noted alienist, of Chicago and chief of the sanity investigation for the defense. These reports are said to agree that the youths are suffering from some form of mental derangement, probably moral imbecility. State’s Attorney Robert Crowe, who will personally conduct the presecption has had four alienists for the state examine Leopold and Loeb, but it was a superficial ex amination, lasting only a few hours. That was while the prisoners were in the hands of detectives, before they were turned over to the county jail authorities. Since the bo/s have been in jail they have refused to submit to an examination by state alienists, but the state’s at torney believes he will be able to establish that the youths are not insane in the sense that the crim inal law prescribes. To have the youth’s sent to an asylum for a few years appears tft be the best the defense can hope for, in spite of unlimited wealth and social prominence, according to opinions of lawyers and laymen. State’s Attorney Crowe has an nounced he will prosecute the case with a view to sending the youths to the gallows. Nothing less than hanging will mitigate the crime and satisfy the state, he contends. At the county jail the youths have been the center of interest among other prisoners. They have received their meals from a fash ionable restaurant each day, flow ers have come to them, pretty girls I AM DOING ALL KINDS OF ; ELECTRICAL WORK NO JOB TOO SMALL OR TOO LARGE.

They have taken thier imprisonment lightly, never appearing to feel anything but that they will be set free. Clar ence Darrow is a shrewd criminal lawyer. He is ‘‘playing down” the facts that the youths are wealthy. He discourages any display of i money, even in the matter of his own fees. A Quarter of a million I dollars or more may go to the law yers who save the youths from the gallows, but it is indicated that the Bar Association may be asked by the attorneys for the defense to fix the fee. The trial may continue for weeks. Testimony of each of the experts may require days and it is estimated that not less than SIOO,OOO will be the cost of prosecution to the State of Illinois.

He presents no card, and is to- I tally unknown. He leaves hi-- in the form of a large hoc in tin side of the young squares, ::td fre quently in well developed boils. According to W. T. Clary, demon stration agent in Bacon county, the pest is general. Not a ‘cotton patch in the county is free from it. One theory is that the worm, and it is well established that a wftrm is doing the work, is the old-fash ioned corn ear worm. Other the ories support the belief that it is something entirely new. Through a calcium arsenate dust ing process the weevil has been brought under absolute control, and it was anticipated that sevral farmers in Bacon would make a bale to the acre. Unless some reme dy is found for the new pest, how ever, farmers will within the next few days plow their cotton fields under in favor of sweet potatoes.

About 43 years ago I read an article in a New York trade paper, writing on the South’s products and her meth ods of marketing, more especially the cotton crop. I remember the idea, especially, and that was the South would never attain the pros perity she is entitled to until she manufactures her products” at that time the number of factories in the southern states were exceed ingly limited, today they are scat tered all through the south and have paid millions to labor besides stimulating the demand for ths staple. I am not prepared to say, but I am under the impression that they have succeeded and made for more profitable than producing itas well as making it profitable to tl.c investors they have made it profit able to thousands of people and built up cities. Parties come here almost year af ter year buy and can peaches and ship them away. Why not do that ourselves, why ship ' them away when there is no market for them? One grower told me he thinned his orchard six times, I understand he sold his entire crop for a snug for tune. I will call you attention to un article in your columns some time ago of a traveling man eating at a hotel and told of the different fruits and vegetables on the table from all parts of the country and not a one from .Sumter county. The Times-Recorder has worn out more pens on this same subject than the chairman of the Democratic Conven tion wore out gavels, I have noticed the manufacturing states'during depressed conditions of business have in every instance shown better trade than when it is entirely a farming country. A few days ago a man from California was here and being aslyed how he liked Georgia replied, I am delighted with it, but you are years behind > and upon being asked how, he re plied, you make plenty and many | varieties, but what is it worth to | you unless you know how to mar ket it. I say start canning manu facturing, big ones Or small ones, my observation has been she men that start a small business and at ten to and stick are the successful business men that grow big and powerful. Start small factories, learn the business and build them to be big ones. This is a subject of very I great importance to us. I have of- HJLY I' WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON;YULY ■ ten wondered if the canning clubs . would not bring about a soluti m in this line. I was in business a few months four year/ago and al most all of the tomatoes my partm r and I handled were country canned and a superior quality and large'- ; cans than the shipped ones. I would | say to the canning clubs to can ail | kinds of vegetables and fruit. Have j small factories in every -section oi the country, combine if necessary and have larger ones, my suggestion is to can and manufacture our own products—there will be a market with greatly and attractive pro gress—J.

Pulaski farmers ate daily supply ing the consumers 'with all toe fiuii. and vegetables of the sea son. The peach truaks are coming in in large numbers, also watermelons, cantaloupes, tomatoes, butter bears okra and sweet corn. The grapes, figs and other late fruits will be placed on the market later in the month. Just across the Pulaski line a large acreage has been planted in asparagus, and in some instances last year, the crop netted ?200 per acre. The varieties of fruits and vege tables that can be grown in Pulaski covers a large list. Poor little movie stars; several of them havn’t been married again yet.
