DARROW AGAIN PLEADS MERCY BEFORE COURT (Continued from page one.; his associates had agreed to take such an amount as the Chicago Bar as- sociation thought proper. Strikes at Crowe He declared that the state’s attor- neys were asking for a death sen- tence in the face of conditions that made it contrary to precedent, as- serting that only one murderer had ever been sentenced to death in this county after a plea of guilty. He took a fling at Mr, Crowe by pointing out that it was the latter, while chief justice of the criminal courts, who had sent that man to the gallows. Then Mr. Darrow frankly admitted that the defense had pleaded guilty because they “were afraid to place their cause before a jury.” He said he an his associates fully realized the heavy responsibility they had placed upon the judge, and add- .ed: “If-responsibility is divided by 12 it is easier to sway it. But if these poys hang there can be no ‘division, ed to pass $9.00 for fairly long-j ing credited with another! Handy-| of responsibility. You can never ex- plain a hanging by saying that other courts overpowered you.” Taking up an analysis of the case itself, Mr. Darrow read from a scrap| of paper the epithets which had been| applied to the crime by Thomas Mar- shall, and Jgseph Savage, ass' | state’s attorneys. “Cowardly, das- turdly, fiendish, cruel, premeditated and cold blooded,” he read, and then| proceeded to argue against the fit- | ness of each of them. | Hanging More Cowardly | Hanging, he said, would be more cowardly and cold blooded than the crime itself. The killing of Franks “was one of the least dastardly and | cruel” he had ever known about, he | said, and justification of this] statement declared that the standard | tobe applied here was the sufferings | of the victim, | “Bobbie Franks suffered very | little,” he said. “He was dead within fifteen utes after entering the automobile. He may not have known | what happened.” Mr. Darrow declared “stupid” the theory of the state that the $10,000 ;Tansom money was the motive for the crime. He pointed out Loeb's} private checking account of $3,000 gnd the testimony of the secretary of | Leopold, Sr., that young Leopold was free to get money from the secretary | for the asking. . “The murder was not for money,” he charged. “It was the sensel t of immature and diseased children, wandering around in the dark, whose lives we can not thoroughly under- stand.” Just before the session ended Mr. Darrow began to discuss the effects of the crime on the families, “I know how easy it is to talk about mothers when you want to do| something cruel, us some men talk | about patriotism when they want to get something,” he s: “I know that any mother might be the mother of a Bobby Franks, as well the moth- er of a Richard Loeb or a Nathan | Leopold. The trouble is this, that if she is the mother of a Richard Loeb or a Nathan Leopold, she has ta ask herself ‘How came my children to be what they are? From what ances- try did they get this strain? How far removed was the poison that de- stroyed their lives? Was I the bear- er of the seed that brings them to death?” Pity All Parents “They are helpless, But when you are pitying the father and the mother of poor Bobby Franks what about the mothers and fathers of these two unfortunate boys and what about the unfortunate boys themselves, and what about all the fathers and all | the mothers and all the boys and all the girls who tread a dangerous maze in darkness from the cradle to the grave? “And do you think you can cure the hatreds and maladjustments of the world by hanging them? You simply show ignorance and hate when you say it, You may here and there cure hatred with love and under- standing, but you can only add fuel | to the flames by hating in return. “For God's sake, if the state in which I live is not kinder, more hu- |man, more considerate, more intel- } ligent than the mad act of these two | mad boys, T am sorry I have lived so long.” Mr. Darrow will resume tomorrow. \'GREAT CROWDS EXPECTED HERE ON ‘AUTO DAY’ (Continued from p page one.) ly done more in diversification the past few years than any other part of the state, The farmers support Bismarck and it is up to us to enter- tain them once in awhile, at least, to | show our appreciation of their efforts to build up the country. “The automobile dealers of the city are going to pull off the biggest entertainment of the series the com- ing week.

Ward county, including two banks, one postoffice and a number of stores. The loot was seized at. a farm home 10 miles southwest of Minot of it has been identified while coun- ty, city and federal officials today continued their activities in the identification of varied assortment of confiscated goods, The men held in custody are James Rilley, Sam Reckewl, Stanley Brown alias S, J. Williams, George Burke, Frank Morrison and Robert Vance. With the exception of Rilley on whose fgrm the loot was found, all the men were arrested in a room at a local hotel. It is the belief of authorities that the following rob- beries have been entirely or at least partly cleared up through these ar- rests: First National bank at Mako- ti, N. D tland State bank at Hartland; Carpio postoffice and Carpio Mercantile company; Doug- las Standard Oil and Pure Oil com- pany, and a garage at Douglas; Saw- yer Hardware store at Sawyer; Rog- ers Lumber company at Foxholm.

Record-Breaking Using Stock Car, Famous Driv- er Cuts More Than Two Minutes From Previous Best Time and Wins Los Angeles Express Trophy. In one of the most spectacular demonstrations of motor car per- formance ever given in the West a Chrysler six-cylinder stock touring car, driven by Ralph de Palma, the famous motor car driver, shat- tered the Mount Wilson (Califor- pia) road record by more than two minutes, covering the nine and a half miles of twisting road in 25 minutes, 48.85 seconds. By its remarkable performance the Chrysler became possessor of the Los Angeles Evening Express chal- lenge trophy for the stock car mak- ing the fastest time up the famous mountain. ~ The Chrysler mark is almost un- believable to anyone familiar with the famous mountain road, with its climb of more than 4600 feet. It was particularly remarkable in that the car was not stripped, but car- = all fenders, and was minus the top glass in the windshield patie top. Even the muffler was removed, than the condition of the road permit him to use.

Wilson road, due to the dry winter, is in by no means as good condi- tion as when former runs were made, in the opinion of Manager Cory of the Mt. Wilson hotel. Not- withstanding,, De Palma reached the top without other mishap than a slight dent on one rear fender where he scraped the rock of the mountain side on one turn. The heat indicator on the Chrysler dash showed less than 200 degrees at the finish, the water in the radiator had not boiled, and the radiator was as full as when the car was started. De Palma’s mark not only set a new stock car record for the moun- tain but likewise demolished the a Chrysler Six, 44 miles an hour. former non-stock record, held by a stripped car, specially prepared for the climb. The non-stock mark was 26 minutes and 56 seconds, more than a minute slower than the Chrysler’s new record. From the summit of Mt. Wilson De Palma, accompanied by the newspaper observers, drove the Chrysler direct to the Culver City track, where he circled the mile track in 59 seconds, and showed a speed of 72 miles an hour in the straightaways, demonstrating con~ clusively that the gear ratio of the Chrysler was strictly standard, The Los Angeles Evening Ex- press challenge trophy was first won by a Dort car, driven by F..E.
