(By the Associated PressJu Testimony of Dr. : H. Douglas Singer, alienist for the prosecution, that Richard Loeb" and Nathan Leopold, "Jr., were normal when they kidnaped and killed 14 -year old Robert Franks last May 21, was subject ed today to the expert vivisection of Clarence S. Darow, cfiief coun sel. The bearing to. determine whether Judge John R. Caverly shall inflict the death penalty on the youths on their plea of guilty, or shall impose penitentiary sen tences was enlivened by frequent clashes of Mr. Darrow with the witness and with Robert E. Crowe, state's attorney. Net Gains Cited At adjournment ' the defense claimed these were net gains: Admission' hy ' Dr. ' Singer that he had reached conclusions by observation and not examination; that a split personality, described by the defense alienists as exist ing in both boys, "might be evi dence towards a mental disorder," that tbe present ages of both Loeb and Leopold is the critical time for developing "mental sickness;' and that a dream life might in fluence personality, j ; The other leg" of ibe" triangular plea of" the defense functional disorders of the endocrine gland systems was not touched upon. Itccords Are Quoted Mr. Darrow was gratified by getting into J the ; record a state ment by James Quinlan of Joliet, once an official of the state peni tentiary bat now a; lawyer,, that 340 persons had pleaded guilty to murder In Illinois in the last 10 years and that only one' of them, Thomas Fitzgerald, a man nearly 40 years old, had beei hanged. Mr, Darrow's point- was to bring out that no youths of the ages of Leopold and Loeb had paid the supreme penalty upon pleas of guilty and that Mr. Crowe,, who has termed the Franks' case a "perfect hanging case," sentenced Fitzgerald. -"Schizochrinic perens" was a new comer in the hearing. He was in troduced by Singer In a book in which he had sought to define more definitely persons with split personalities, Mr. Darrow reading extensively from the work. Boys Mirthful It was in that connection de fense counsel obtained the admis sion from Dr. Singer that schizo phrenia, the inclination of parts of the personality to split off,, is more likely to develop into insan ity in intelligent persons of the approximate ages of Leopold and Loeb than In others. Attorneys estimated that arguments in the bearing would be ftarted possibly Wednesday morning. : Loeb and Leopold found much cause for merriment in the heated exchanges today and their faces frequently were? - wreathed in smiles. . - New Quotations From , , California Packers Additional boost of prune prices has been given by the California Packing corporation which is now quoting 30s at 10 3-4 cents; 40s at 8 3-4 cents; 50s at 7 cents and 60s at 6 cents. -Information received here yes terday was to the effect that the Mason-Ehrman company was in the market and offering 30s at 9 cents; 40s at 7 3-4 cents and 50s at 6 1-4 cents.

Signed By All But Amer- i ican Secretary GERMANS DISAPPOINTED OVER CERTAIN PHASES Reichstag Will Read Meas ure Saturday Prior to ' General Debate LONDON, Aug. 16. (By the AP.) The agreements concluded tonight by the London conference take the form of a protocol with four annexes. (The final protocol Is a brief document in French and ' English. It Is signed by Ramsay MacDonald as president, by Secre- : tary General Slri Maurice Hankey, the allied secretaries, the German ;' secretary and a, representative of f the reparations commisBion. The ' American secretary does not sign. " The protocol states that the president informed the represen tatives of the "powers and of the . reparations commission assembled at the foreign ? office that all the governments concerned and the reparations commission have con firmed their acceptance of , h& Dawes plan anil 'that hy means of the conference -certain agreements annexed to- the protocol have been signed or initiated by the parties concerned. - Agreements Intcr.Dependent These agreements are mutually inter-dependent , and cannot ' be varied except that the dates will be advanced, as the original dates pre-supposed that the first steps would be taken' August 15. The parties concerned rwill. meet later in London to attach formal signa tures to the documents which have not been signed, and a" certified copy of the agreements as con cluded between the allies will be communicated to Germany. Annex 1 of the protocal is th agreement of August 9, between the reparations commission and Germany, whereby Germany agrees to take necessary measures to promulgate and enforce the laws required to ;arry out the Dawes plan in the form approved by the reparations commission es- : pecially relating to the bank issue, the railways and industrial de bentures, and to apply certain pro- ' visions regarding control of the' revenues assigned as security for the annuities.

Despite-widespread disap pointment over the government's failure to obtain a more concili atory concession on the Question of the Ruhr evacuation, there is a very definite impression cur rent in political circles that the Marz-Stresemanh cabinet will com mand a sufficient majority in the relchstag both for approval of legislation having to do with the Dawes report and on the general question ot confidence respecting; the government's procedure in London. Will Read Measure , "While the nationalists are al ready doing considerable talking ln opposition to the government's yielding on the Ruhr issue, their present protests are not viewed reflecting the party's ultimate at titude on the floor of the reich stag, and there is a strong sus picion that the party will refrain. from casting active oppositional ballots. jj Foreign Minister Stresemann will discuss the London protocol with the foreign relations commit tee Wednesday. The Reichstag will enter upon the first reading of the Dawes measures Saturday, concluding with a general debate about the middle of the following week. "With the return of the Ger man delegates it is believed that much misapprehension under which the German public Is now laboring respecting the general settlement reached In London will be cleared up and that the par-.. llamentary situation will be madg more secure for the ministers, .
