evidence developed by the de

sway them as they developed into
manhood, Loeb dreaming of com
mitting the perfect crime and
'Leopold blindly following because
of a. "king-slave" dream that had
persisted for years, Robert E.
Crowe, state's attorney, forced
from Dr. Hulbert the admission
that it Was .possible 'the youths
had been rehearsed by attorneys
and doctors interested in building
their defense. , - '
Hammering no less relentlessly,
the prosecutor gained the admis
sion that the effect of the endoc

the withheld information, might

Loeb's plan of selecting a male

for Alleged Breach
; Tractor Agency - -
Business in Three Cities Claimed
A suit for $292,250 damages against Henry Ford & Son
and the ora Motor company
cuit, court by the Vick Brothers Motor company. Alleired
oreacn oi a contract which granted the Oregon sales agency
01 me t orason tractors to the
Abrogation ofthe contract for
the state sales agency made with
Vick Brothers by Henry Ford &
Son when the - latter firm was
merged with the Ford Motor com
pany of Detroit in 1919 deprived
the local - firm of its sales rights,
it is averred, and caused other
general damages amounting to the
sums named in the suit. Vick
Brothers were in local retail auto
mobile businesses in, Salem, Eu
gene and Medford prior to enter
ing into the agreement to handle
the Fordson agency. The loss of
these j businesses together with
-various sums spent to promote the
sale of the tractors is named as
the- basis for the claim of .dam
ages. ;
The contract was entered into
between Henry Ford & Son, manu
facturers of the Fordson tractor.
and Vick Brothers in 1918 and
granted to the local firm the ter-,
ritorial sales rights in Oregon for
the tractor,, the complaint says.
The contract was to run for a
minimum of 10 years. During
that period it was agreed that the
sales agency of the Henry Ford
& Son products should remain
separate from the sales agency of
the Ford Motor,, company. In
both 'OX . these respects, the con
tract was violated, according to
Vick Brothers, by the merging of
the two corporations and agencies
and the abrogation of the con
tract after Only one year's opera
tion. ;;
In" carrying out the stipula
tions; of the contract Vick Broth
ers claim they disposed of their
businesses in Salem, Eugene and
Medford and established bead
quarters in Portland. A building
for agency purposes was built in
Portland at-the ost of $75,000,
and-an agency service was "estab
lished throughout the state, at a
cost of $30,000. When the con
tract was abrogated these expen
ditures are said to have been prac
tically lost, and in addition the
income from their former busi
nesses amounting to $100,000
over i the period of: the term of
the contract was cut off. An
amount of farm machinery suit
able for sale with the tractor was
also left , on their hands.
Demands for reimbursement for
these losses and the loss of the
agency have been repeatedly re
fused by the Ford Motor com
pany, the complaint aserts,- and
the suit for $292,250 has been
found necessary by the local firm
to secure payment. i j
, Since the termination of their
contract the Vick Brothers have
engaged in another Salem retail
automobile enterprise.

Undaunted by the weather, Mr.
