EXPERT TESTIMONY
Alienists Who Appeared for
Leopold and Loeb Are
Summoned to Give
Testimony.
CHICAGO, July 25. Cell mad
ness will be the plea of Russell T.
Scott In his effort to escape the
gallows from which he has been
saved twice within a few hours of
the death march.
Alienists who testified for .Na
than Leopold, Jr.. and Richard
Loeb. kidnappers-slayers of Robert
Franks, will be called upon in the
effort to prove Scott Is suffering
from prison physhocs. The defense
theory will b3 that his mind has
become affected by his fifteen
months confinement and the har
rowing experience of two death
watches in the shadow of the
noose.
During tho ten days allowed
them before the sanity hearing
set by Judge Joseph David for Au
gust ,3, Witylam Scott Stewart
Scott'a attorney will assembe
psychiatrists for a desperate legal
battle to have Scott committed to
an asvlum.
That the fight will be bitter has
been indicated by prosecutors who
believe Scott Is as sans now as
when the killing of Joseph Maur
er, drug o'erk. In a holdup for
which Scott was condemned, oc
curred. They will not relent In
their efforts to have the death
sentence carried out. Robert B.
Crowe, state's attorney, has been
summoned from his vacation In
Northern Wisconsin to lead the
states efforts.
It was Scott himself, said the
attorney, who thought out the In
sanity plea, when the lawyer at
first started to confer with him,
Scott insisted that he was sane,
letter he said he believed he was
"stir crazy." Previously Scott
told newspapermen that he
thought "there must be something
wrong with me to go and do the
things I did. Perhaps the liquor
affected my brain. I was drunk
a'l the time, and then the months
in here."
An offer to take Scott's place
was made to Governor Small by O.
P. McGraws of Washington. D. C,
who said be made an effort to
bring about abolition of capital
punishment.
