The state continued piling tip citations until the luncheon re- I cess was reached. Its reading of i excerps from decisions from oth er states had taken the entire court day yesterday and all of to- day s forenoon session. Mr. I Marshall said lv would read no more authorities, but would sub- j mit a list of otiters for the courts. consideration. Leopold and Loch pat iinletly through the rendlnir add argu ment. Once they whispered and smiled when Harrow moved Into a cluiir alongside of them and then handed a newspaper clippia; I to Leopold.

The later time seem ed to serve only to Increase the crowd elamorin.'; for entrance and a possible view of the millionaire youths as they marched In and oi. The early part of tho session promised little more than that to appease the Interest of the visit ors, since Mr. Marshall indict ment and Icjal research expert for lioleTt 1-'. Crowe, slate's at torney left the unfinished yc-ler-dav's session of precedence from other commonwealths to prevent Judge Caverly hearing as a mltl- .giiting circumstances the testl monv of various alienists called by ti e defense. Dr. Win. While of Washington D. C fortably for several sted com- i hours on the! witness stand yesterday while state and defense argued as the admissibility of evidence prosecution thought would called upon. Only n few men were in court room, women predominat-1 Ing in a ratio of about nine to: Judge Caverly told the prose cution Hint all the cas, s cited yesterday were ruses In which a plea of not guilty had been enter ed ntwl the cases tried by Juries, and that therefore they were not upelii'lible to the nresent Instance The court cited Pennsylvania decision which he he'd run along lines similar to the Frank case so far and II indicated that alien 1st testimony in mitigation of punishment had been heard bv that court. Judge ("overly said that in th Pennsylvnii'a ease it was held that a pb'ii of irullty autoimiiie ally made the rrtnie of second de (.-roc murder. He said it was held that the state might then Intro dure testimony to raise the of fense. to rirst degree murder.. "W fit, we have raised the o' fense in this case." Inter lei led H K. Crowe, state's attorney, "and understand It." ' I J'ist wish '.l to make that point clear " said the civirt C!'iron-e S Harrow, chief conn sel for the derense, wanted a time limit put on the arguments as to admissibility of allcn'st testimony, saying that cases the s'nte considered might parallel the nresent cas couM le read "unfit doom's day. wphout to gross." Mr. Marshall Insisted that the state ri'.l not oblect to presenta tion ef slbtilst testimony, ns such "Tih stale does not object te alienist testimony If the proceed lugs are set at the corr- et stag for reception of such testimony." ho explained. I'nder the law. Insanity Is a defense and unless It Is so offer- d, alienl.-t testimony is not ad mlssl jle. ' 'Here ( have on the court recoMs a conlemlnn, ineanlug the highest order o( conviction, a plea of guilty." I nder the offer of testimony . made by counsel," continued Mr. i Marshall, "and accepting It at its ; face value, the estimate by the defense that soinothliiK less than ' insanity will be shown, we find 1 that courts have rejected evidence of wi ak-uiiiidness. where the tvi , denre Is not idiotic, lunatic or In i sane." Mr. Mnrehall r ad further ci:a i tlons In support of his contention : that "depravity of character and j abandoned habits ure not evi dence of Insanity, neither Is the I commission of an nnutural and j atrocious crime. "Well ir such depravity Is not an evidence of insanity then is it I not proper for a court to consider It merely as mitigation of pun I Ishment?" asked Judge Cavr-ly ! Mr. Crowe Jumped Into the ar-1 'unieni. im.vIsk It vui "mil lion of crime peruai"), but j not piini.'.liable." I "Thnt is all nonsense, our j honor," said .Mr. Harrow. "It Is competent to determine the effect up'in tho mind of the defendant and that Is nil, . I there it it v mitigation in the world?" Mr. Dut'Dow ashed Mr. Crowe. "Yes." replied the prosecutor, proceeding to explain that If man killed another because of a fam ily affair there would be a miti gatlon. "That's all bosh," said Mr Harrow. "That Is talklnir about , in unwriiicu law unu nine ir nothing to it here." I The clash was predicted when In reading from the Alabama law Mr. Marshall took up his argu-j ment Into the realm of "Irresis-1 tilde Impulse" holdinir that It was j not recognized In law as an ex-i case for crime if such an impulse was given as evidence of "men- ( tnl disease," he argued. "It be-j came moral insanity," which is not "recognized as an Indcpind-! dent mental state." : "Kveryone who Is non-cqmpos mentis is Irresponsible" he read. "One who Indulges In that con venient form of Insanity whhh lasts Just Ion? enough to permit commission of a crime Is Just as responsible as a drunken man. '.'The law has no vlieorles on in sanity. It holds responsibjp ei ery-one who is compos mentis." He also cited from People VJ Mccarty 115 California, 225, the following: "In law there Is not distinction between moral Insanity and men tal derangment as an excuse for crime." Mr. Marshall finished Ills read- ing of citations when court Teres sen lor iiincneon ni i:. p. Mr. Marshall In summing up thfe case, said he believed that If the court had any doubt about the bearing of alienists he should have gone Into the matter upon the plea of guilty by the yombs and not waited until lifter the state had Its Case In. "I submit that I have shown to your honor that ftorr.! Insan ity has no place at the bar," lie said. "It is n theoretical division of insanity that doctors use. It has no place in a court of justice." Loeb ond Leopold are here on conviction." Marshall said, "the plea of guilty was conviction. "Now. what Is the court going to do faced by this dilemma?" he pursued. "If you proceed without a Jury, the proceedings heroine void and of no effect In the point where evidence of mental disease en ters." "I understand the state's at torney's office feels the universe will crumble unless these two hoys hang." said Mr. Harrow as he rose to reply. . "I never have seen the saint enthusiasm in the death penal ty. There is no question in the state ef Illinois ot what b.--al san ity means such mental disease as makes one unable to understand the difference between right and wrong, or destroys power of will. whatever that Is, to choose bo- t we. -a right and wrong," nssert- the! ed Mr. Harrow. toj "We have not said they are in theisane.
