been duly named by the court of the
consequences of this plea."
May Mean Death.
The degree of punishment may
vary from an indeterminate prison
sentence, through life sentence in tbe
: penitentiary, Incarceration in an asy
lum, to death. -
In entering the plea of guilty. At
torney Darrow said that the defense
admitted the correctness of the facts
"substantially as printed in the news
papers."
Ho asked permission -of the court.
'however, "to offer evidence as to tbe
mental conditions of these young men
and their degree of responsibility.
Tbe defense was willing to submit
the question of mentality to a Joint
conference of alienists employed by
the st"t and the defense, but Itobert
Crowe, state's attorney, objected to
this, aaylngi
Muoh Evldenoe In Hind.
"The atata ia In position to show
that the boys are not only guilty of
' tbe facta which tbey here admit, but
beyond any reasonable doubt, they are
sane and fully cognisant of tbe con-
sequences of those acts."
Judge John H. Caverly agreed with
' the attorneys, therefore, to hear such
evidence, both as to facts and mental
responsibility aa the two sides might
wish to present to him for his com'
, plaint.
Judge Caverly, realising the grave
'.. -responsibility which the sudden turn
in the noted case placed upon him,
told the attorneys he would not in
terfere with as speedy a conclusion
of the hearing aa possible.
Ten minutes before the hour set for
calling of tbe case, emergency police
squads were ordered out to handle
the throngs that massed before the
criminal court building.
Clarence Darrow, and Benjamin
Bachrach, chief of defense counsel,
arrived at the court room In If an
hour before the scheduled starting
time of the proceedings with a group
of relatives and friends of the defen
dants.
Prisoners In Courtroom.
Leopold and Leob, accompanied br
four deputy bailiffs, were in the
, court room when liie proceedings be
gan. Jacob Loeb, wealthy uncle of Rich
ard and former president of the Chi
cago board of oducation, and Alien
, Iocb, younger brother of Richard, ru
. tered the court room with the do
' fense ruunnel. Nathan Lopid, Sr.,
lather of ftatnan, and rorman .Leo
pold, n brother, were at the counsel
table.
Tbe court ruled that tbe state
should be permitted, regardless of the
plea of guilty by the defense, to ore
sent evidence designed to prove the
mental responsibility of the two
souths.
Hearing on the point wss set for
Wednesday morning.
In presenting the defense motion,
Attorney Clarence Darrow ixformed
the court that tbe only move of the
defense would be to present evidence
tending to demonstrate "tbe degree of
responsibility, and also evidence of
irresponsibility and insanity," in the
two defendants.
"Having presented this vidence,"
IJnrrow said, ' we will -throw oursel
ves on the mercy of the court."
At another point Mr. Darrow slid:
"The defense fully reallsoa that the
defendants should be permanently
isolated from society."
. Attorney Darrow in behalf of his
-motion to chsnge the plea addressed
the court as follows: .
Darrow Addresses Court.
"Your honor: Mr. Bachrach and
myself and all of those riscerned in
this case, defence are fully aware of
the responsibilities involved.
"Tbe case has attracted an unusual
mount of attention and the theory
baa been advanced that the defence
wishes to restore the defendants to
society.
"I wish to say frank'y to the court
that we never havo entertained such
' an idea,
"We are of the opinion that these
two young men should be permanently
isolated and it never was our inten
tion to attempt to restore them to
freedom."
"We must consider In this case, the
standpoint of tbe public who are
rightfully interested in the proceed
ings. It would necessarily take a
great deal of time to choose a Jury
eeperislly at this hot season of the
year. We have considered a change of
venue from this county. , '
"It seems plain that It would he
difficult to have fair trial here be
cause of the Intense feeling aroused
by the crime, but in my practice of 37
. years as a lawyer in C'Jilragn, I have
asked but one change of renuc and
that was at I lie advice of rry client
and against my own convictions.
Moreover, the facta in this rass are
as s ell known outside of Cook county
end outside of Illinois as they are in
Chicago,
"It ia our Intention merely to see
that these two defendants are .ifely
Incarcerated for the rent of their
Uvea," Darrow said. Therefore, I
move to withdraw th plea of not
guilty and to enter pleas of guilty for
both defendants."

The statement of Wale's Attorney
Robert E. Cowe sfter the morning's
proceedings ft Hows:
"There waa nothing left for Loch
sod Leopold to do but plead guilty.
The proof was so overwhelming that
no jury could return any verdict ex
cept one of guilty.
"The crime waa ao cold-blooded,

Case In Chicago
CHICAGO, July 21. Nathan- Leo
pold, Jr.. and Richard Loeb, confessed
slayers of 14-year-old Itobert r ranks
are both minors, sons of millionaires
of standing end graduate students,
distinguished by their attainments. At
the time of the slaying Leopold was
20 and Loeb 10.
Probably none of Leopold's acquaint
ances except Loeb, connected the slay
ing May 21 which shocked the coun
try, and which according to the boy a
confession was prcmcditntcdj with the
precocious ornithologist, woo had; en
gaged the confidence of the little
Kirtland warbler, a bird so shy as to
bave been supposed extinct, so suc
cessfully that It perched on his shoul
der and ate from his band while
thousand feet of moving picture film
were unrolled.
According to Loeb, though thla de
tail' Leopold disputed, from the some
hand that struck Frnnks from he-
hind with a- chisel, bound with tape
afterward strangling him.
The grandfathers of both Nathan
and Itichnrd were among those, who,
like Carl Scliurs, came to this conn
try from Germany because of the
failure of the revolution of 1848. The
Leopold family has been in Chicago
since 1807. Albert Loeb, father of
Richard, was born in Chicago in
1808. Nathan Leopold, 8r. whose for
tune grew jib the city grew, wnsfor
merly engaged In lnke transportation
and is now a paper manufacturer. AI.
bert Loob, son of a small Bhow mer
chant even taught school, practiced
lnw and eventually became vice-presl
dent of the Rears Roebuck mnll order
company, of which Julius Rosenwnld
is president. Tils brother, Jacob Loeb,
was president of the Chlcngo bonrd of
education from 1010 until 1010. His
wife, Richard's mother, who was An

family of the hoy's victim, Robert
Frnnks, is of Hebrew descent, al
though holding to the Jewish faith.
Robert failed to rench home after
achool May 21. The next day n letter
and messages by telephone called up
on his father, Jacob Franks, presi
dent of the Rockford "Watch comr
pany, a neighbor of Loeb nnd Leo
pold, for $10,000 ransom. The mes
sages stated that tho boy had been

Tho fnthor virtually decided to com

morgue to seo the body of a dond boy

The two hoys were taken Into cus

days. Their adroitness and assurance
baffled their examiners until IOeb
learned that their attempted alibi was
refuted by tho testimony of a chauf

CORVALLIS, July 21. Irrigation
highly feasible - in the Willam
ette valley for such crops as corn,
potatoes, truck crops, and certain
forage crops which make their
growth during the summer months.
The Oregon experiment station.
t Corvallis. has been carrying on
experiments since 1909 which
proves this conclusively. '
The average rainfall for the
Willamette valley, is from 40 to
45 Inches, and most of this is be
tween the first of October and
the first of June. Thla Is decid-
(ledly advantageous for certain
of the hay crops as they can be
cured in the early summer with
out danger of getting wet, while
mo crops tnai grow in the sum
mer months suffer for want of
moisture.
Moisture Needed
suppllmentary Irrigation In
creases the yield appreciably. The
results obtained are - naturally
more apparent in a dry season
than In a wet season, but for a
soven year avornge the Increase
from all orops at the station has
eon better than 65 per cent.
The coarser textured bottom and
loamy soils are better suited to
irrigation tnan tno heavier soils.
The experiments at the station
have been carried on "old valley
uiung- son oi a rainy fine tex
ture. These experiments show
that even soils of this texture can
be Irrigated to advantage.
- Some Exceptions
This does nob mean that Irriga
tion is the proper remedy for the
heavier types of soils where
drainage is necessary, the station
has found. Irrigation although
these soils are dry .in the sum
mer, will not take the place of
drainage.
Crop rotation and the keeping
up of organic matter Is absolutely
necessary where Irrigation Is prac
ticed, growers have learned. Since
irrigation often makes it possible
to grow two different crops in one
season it "Is practical. A large
number of rotations can be used
to. advantage.
