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

have called on them. 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.

APPHPS IS ■
Strange Insect Attacks Cotton
Squares and Bolls and Is Im
pervious to Poison
WAYCROSS, July IG.—Now that;
the boll weevil has been reduced to
a trivalty in the section around
Pearson, and when it seemed that
the farmers of that vicinity were
on the verge of making a burnt ■■
<rop, along comes an' u:-'. raided
pest which threatens to wip- out tin
entire cotton crop.
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.

Letters From
the People
Editor Times-Recorder:
From reading the. remarks of Mr
Rylander in the Times-Recorder be
fore the club, I feel constrained to
make a few Remarks, yet I have nev
er done so in my life. 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

my observation has been she men
that start a small business and at

business men that grow big and

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-

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'- ;

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
