Six ZVtlatila SruWtMa Btmrmil VOL. XXVI. NO. 145 THREE NEW GEORGIA CONGRESSMEN APPARENTLY NOMINATED CROWE'S CRITICISM OF JUDGE CAVERLY IS THINLY VEILED “Statement of Facts” in the Franks Murder Deplores Life Sentence " CHICAGO, Sept. 11—In a lengthy “statement of facts’’ on the Leopold- Loeb case made public alte this aft ernoon, State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe criticized Justice John R. Caverly for failing to sen tence Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb to death for their murder of Robert Franks. It was the work on this statement and the preparation of air-tight data to prevent possible attempts to se cure a parole for the boys that has delayed their transfer to Joliet state prison to begin to serve their sen tences of life imprisonment. Crowe addressed his “statement of facts" to the clerk of the criminal court of this county, and to depart ment of public welfare of Illinois. Crowe indicated he would not fur ther hold up the start of the youths to Joliet, and it was believed they would get undef’ way later’ in the evening. Crowe’s statement reads in part: “In malice, premeditation and de liberation, the crime these defend ants committed is unequalled in the criminal history of this state. It is an atrocious and cold blooded mur der, perpetrated to extort a ransom of SIO,OOO for return of this 14-year old school boy after the defendants knew that they had kiledl this school boy in order to hide their crime. Unfit for Society “As to habits of these defendants, evidence indicated acts of perversion between Leopold and Loeb extending over a long period of time. There is no possibility of these defendants ever becoming eligible for a return to society. “The evidence shows both defend ants are atheists and followers of the Nietzscean doctrines, and im pressed with the idea that they are supermen and what they did was right because they did it; that they are above the law, both the law of God and the law of man; that they had a right to commit murder or any other crime, and that the law had no application to them. “The state’s attorney of Cook county felt it to be his duty to de mand from the court the extreme penalty of the law, punishment of death, and he is still of the opinion that that is the only punishment that fits the crime. "Murder and kidnaping for ransom of 14-year-old Robert Franks struck terror to the hearts of every fathei’ and mother throughout the commu nity, and without a doubt is the most 'terrible criminal offense that was perpetrated in this generation. “It is unfortunate for the welfare of the county and the court that they were not sentenced to death.” Jail Is Threatened After a night in which a new threat to blow up the' county jail brought SherJCf Peter M. Hoffman speeding into Chicago at midnight, Loeb and L«A’pold amused them selves by playing cards pending the •tart for Joliet. Sheriff Hoffman disclosed the lat est threat, a petition of many others made by cranks, he said. It was about 11:30 p. m., when he received the anonymous telephone call telling him that the jail was to be blown up. “I jumped into my car and came miles an hour to the jail, ar riving about midnight, just to make sure that nothing had happened,” he said. “After a thorough inspection, everything appeared all right and I returned home.” Heavy Guarci Planned The sheriff said he expected to make the trip to the Joliet prison with three automobiles in the of ficial party, all guarded by heavily armed deputies. The advance car, he said, would be filled with officers armed with shotguns loaded with buckshot. In the second car Loeb and Leopold would ride with four armed guards. Another contingent of guards with buckshot charged guns would bring up the rear. In the meantime the sheriff had the guards doubled in the alley at the rear of the jail yard. A crowd of about 500 curious persons gather ed outside the entrance to the jaii but police details kept them moving. Judge John R. Caverly, in one of the most spectacular scenes in an American court room, yesterday pro nounced the sentence upon the two boys whoje kidnaping and murder of the Franks boy last May, and later confession and the W rial that follow ed attracted world-wide notice as a case unparalleled in all jurispru dence records. Their First Manual Toil Both boys, the sons of wealthy and prominent Chicago business men and reared in the lap of luxury, must now beco: enrolled as life prisoners and turn their activities to long hours of hard labor, despite the fact they have never known what it is to toil with their hands. The two young intellectuals were sentenced to life imprisonment on the n’ -rder charge and to terms of ninety-nine years imprisonment for kidnaping for ransom. Under the latter sentence they cannot be re ?ed on parole until they have served thirty-seven yea:.- in the Joileu penitentiary. The life term alone would have permitted such release aft’r about twenty years. However, Judge Caverly urged that a parole never be granted Leo pold and Loeb. He declared he found no mitigating circumstance in the crime itself, its motive or lack of motive or in the personalities and antecedents of the boys. But he ex plained that he chose lif imprison ment instead of death because of the age of the defendants. Leopold Is 19 and Loeb IS. Clarence S.

Harris into the renomina tion for the United States senate. In the Georgia Democratic pri mary Wednesday with Thomas W. Hardwick as his opponent. Senator Harris ran away with the nomina tion. Returns late Thursday gave Sena tor Harf-is 135 counties with 354 unit votes to eight counties for former Senator Hardwick with twenty unit votes. There are only 412 unit votes in all. Later returns Thursday chang ed one county from the Hardwick to the Harris column and vice versa, without affecting the result as each has two unit votes. Heard county transferred on later returns from the Hardwick to the Harris table while Miller went froki the Harris into the Hardwick column. Representatives R. Lee Moore, in the First congressional district, and Frank Park, in the Second, appear to have been defeated. Close Race in First With Mr. Moore and his opponent, former Representative Charles G. Edwards, of Savannah, tied for the county unit votes on the face of returns, the present representative conceded the nomination of Mr. Ed i wards if he carries Tattnall county,* in which he is now leading. In I this event the issue would be de cided by the popular vote in which the former congressman has a ma jority. Judge E. E. Cox, of Camilla, Ga., carried ten of the thirteen counties in the Second district, and today was leading Representative Park by an estimated majority of 2,000 in the popular vote, which governs in this district. Representative Wise in the Sixth district did not stand fop another term, and Sam Rutherford was lead ing for this nomination by a good majority over Ben Fowler. Both are members of the Georgia house of . representatives. Represent a t i v e Charles Brand, in the Eighth; Thomas M. Bell, in the Ninth, and W. D. Upshaw, in the Fifth, appear ed assured of renomination. The other six congressmen were unop posed. J. J. Brown, commissioner of agri culture, was increasing his lead over George F. Hunnicutt. With returns reported Mr. Brown had 220 unit votes in 82 counties, to 96 unit votes for Mr. Hunnicutt in 38 counties. Land’s Lead Grows 1 The lead of F. E. Land over N. H. Ballard, state school superintendent, continued to grow. Mr. Land had carried 86 counties with 218 unit votes to 29 for Mr. Ballard with 74 unit votes. Major John W. Clark increased the distance from his opponent, Charles E. McGregor, present pen sion commissioner having 170 unit votes from 12 counties to 126 unit votes for Mr. McGregor from 50 counties. O. K. Bennett, for public service commissioner, had twice as many unit votes as • his opponent, John T. Eoifeuillet, the Incumbent, on the face of returns tabulated for this office. Mr. Bennett had car ried 80 counties with 206 unit votes to 33 counties with 90 unit votes for Mr. Boilfeuillet. James D. Price, seeking renomi nation as public service commission er, maintained his lead over A. J. Woodruff. With 69 counties in hjp column, Mr. Price had 194 unit votes to 112 from 48 counties for Mr. Woodruff. Five of the “Big Six” counties approved changing from the fee to the salary system by big majorities. This referendum, provided for by the last legislature, was acted on favorably by the voters of Richmond, Chatham, DeKalb, Muscogee and i Bibb. Fulton county voted over ' whelmingly for a similar change lin the presidential primary last April and this was put through bj i the last legislature.
