CHICAGO, Aug. 15. (By the
AP.) -Grim determination per
vading the proceedings, the prose
cution today , produced two stern-
faced, unsmiling experts who!tea-
titled in diametric opposition' to
conclusions seti forth j by four
alienists for the defense that
Richard Loeb and Nathan F. Leo
pold; Jr., were "mentally sick"
when they kidnaped and murder
ed Robert Franks last May 21.
Doctor Challenges Theory
Dr. Rollin T. Woodyatt of Chi
cago, who qualified as an expert
on endocrineology, challenged the
report of findings of functional
disorders of the endocrine system
of Leopold and Loeb and Dr. H.
Douglas . Singer, a mental path
ologist, testified that phantasies
are normal and that he had re
marked displays of normal emo
tions on the part of the two youth
ful defendants.
Dr. Woodyatt refused to be
budged from' his statements on
cross , examination. The defense
got no opportunity to attempt to
prove, error in mjt. singer con-

sane and the hearing was ad
journed upon conclusion of his di
rect examination. He will un
dergo cross questioning by Clar
ence S. Darrow, chief of defense
counsel, at the two-hour holiday
session tomorrow. ,

Dr. Singer was permitted to
take into consideration all the evi
dence previously presented, ex
cepting persons of opinion, in
stating his conclusions. ,
;.s f'No evidence of mental dis
ease," ended his replies to hypo
thetical questions Involving each
defendant. - I
The court room demeanor of
Loeb and Leopold was turned
against them Jn Dr. Singer's analy
sis of what he termed their nor
mal emotional lives.
He - asserted that the carefree
laughing-attitudes borne at the
inception of the 22-day-old hear
ing lately had been dropped for
a serious, -worried appearance,
Leopold particularly displaying
conscience. ' i
Examples of Emotion Cited
As an example of the youths'
Amotion -and Intellect, Dr. Singer
cited the refusal to answer ques
tionswhile they were in the cus
tody of tho state's attorney. He
sa)d that to all interrogations they
replied:. !"i respectfully decline to
answer on the advice of counsel."
He also quoted a statement by
Leopold to Robert E. Crowe, the
state's attorney, that "I am In
your power, but I protest at these
proceedings." .

the defense in its efforts to save

Fruit farmers on the Dallas road are aroused over the
repeated thieving expeditions which are pillaging their peach
orchards every night. The Statesman received a call last
night from John Crawford reporting that he had driven off
four parties attempting; to steal his fruit.
Reports from other neighbors indicate that the same
offenses are being committed nightly. In one case a potato
patch was robbed of its tubers while acts of vandalism in
orchards and corn patches have also been perpetrated. Some
of the farmers are placing armed guards in the orchards to
prevent future raids and if possible catch the marauders red
handed. j . . . ,

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 15. Pro

Japanese land owners and famil

when the city council' granted a

demnation proceedings for a pub

The protestants, who included

petition was a direct attempt to
remove the orientals from the dis

national and state campaign is

Former Governor Samuel V.
Stewart presided.

"Honesty In government, the
revenue law, the tariff, and the
policy of isolation are the four
leading issues of the campaign,"
he said. ; "The democratic revenue
law, now in operation, contrasted
with the proposed Mellon "plan,
points to the essential difference
between the two major parties,
perhaps more clearly than any oth
er measure."
The senator scored the republl
can tariff as a measure that had
"robbed the farmer," and criti
cized the foreign policy as con
tributing nothing to the recon
struction of Europe and little to
stabilization of trade. The for
elgn policy was marred, he de
clared, by sending abroad a species
of "eavesdroppers" to watch the
developments in Europe. ; :

Although the senator made no

LOS ANGELES; Aug. 15.
Without expressing an' opinion as
to whether it was a case of suicide
or homicide, a coroner's jury In
vestigating the dath of Mrs.
Theresa- Mors : in ' Connection with
which Kid McCoy, former idol of
the prize ring.' is being held on a
charge of suspicion of murder,
held late today, that the woman,
died, as a result : of a gunsho
wound inflicted by a person ot
persons unknown, j .
A dejected Kid McCoy, widely
different from the loquacious prize
ring idol of other times, sat in his
cell here today. j
Police Seont Suicide
McCoy contends the woman,
with whom he had been living un
der an assumed name, committed
suicide. .
Police investigators declare that
tk -in ui jeaiuusy ur.rige.
McCoy today received some sup
port for his suicide story from the
lips of the county autopsy sur
geon. Dr. Wagner, who, on the
witness stand at the inquest, de
clared that his investigations led
ft - i i
him to believe the gun used on
Mrs. 'Mors "had been" fired "when
close to or against" the woman's
head. .
Smokeless Powder Used
The doctor explained the ab
sence ot powder burns by saying
that undoubtedly the cartridge
had been charged with smokeless
powder. - '
F. -M. Andreani, attorney for
Mors, testified that on Huesday,
the night of which day Mrs. Mor
died, she had met Mors in his of
fice for a business discussion and
that she had displayed consider
able friendliness for. her. divorced
husband.
District Attorney: Asa Keyes,
reiterated his previous statement
that despite Dr. Wagner's testi
mony he expected the county
grand jury: to Indict McCoy for
the murder of Mrs. Mors.
Shot and Scream Heard
The first evidence of any per-"
son ; having heard the shot that
ended Mrs. Mors' life came when
Mrs. A. E. Avery, a tenant of the
same anartment house, where the
killing took place, went on the
witness stand. . '-
. She said she had retired about
10c 3a o'clock Tuesday night, had
fallen asleep and awakened to
hear two screams, apparently a
nrnman'a thn a hnt anH then si
lence.
Detective C. II. Jarvis, who
questioned McCoy after the lat
ter's arrest, detailed the first of
ficial version of the ex-pugilist's
statement, the substance of which
was: -
Gun Beloneg to McCoy
The gun which killed Mrs. Mors
had been given to McCoy by Hu
bert Kittle, ex-special police officer,-
daredevil aviator and bandit
suspect, who committed suicide
here recently. McCoy carried it
with him and put it on the table
in Mrs. Mors' apartment when he
went there Tuesday night.
Mrs. Mors asked McCoy if he in
tended to leave: her. He replied
that he did. and she declaring she
"would end it all!' seized a
butcher knife and attempted to
stab herself. McCoy wrestled
with her, but she grabbed his pis
tol from the table with her left
hand and shot herself in the tem
ple, f Jarvis pointed out that
Mors told him his wife was right
handed).
McCoy's Memory Poor
McCoy attempted to revive her,
failed, covered the body, stralght-
kened up the apartment aad left
about midnight.
He had a "haty recollection" of
having visited his sister and say
ing that "he just had to kill Mrs.
