Satisfaction for Assassination Sought and Assurance of Protection for Americans in That Country | By. A. L. BRADFORD (United Press Staff Correspondent.) WASHINGTON, July 26.—The American government jtoday took formal action to obtain satisfaction for the brutal murder of Robert W.

Kornfeld, Teheran murder to Saul at Joseph American minister Kornfeld is expected to present the |note to the Persian government early next week, probably on Mon- day, State department officials would not comm on the note, but it was believed the communication is a strong protest and that it de- mands isfaction for the murder of this government's representative, and insists the Persian government take immediate steps to afford bet ter pr American citizens to |in that country Whether this government makes | specific demands for a formal} The state department dispatched a note regarding the apology from Persia and indemnities for the family of Imbrie is not yet known, but such steps are expected. Reports since the killing of Imbrie have indicated the powers are not satisfied at the efforts of the Persian authorities to save Imbrie nor the steps taken by the Persian govern- ment later to afford protection to foreigners. Dispatches from Persia that na- tives insulted Mrs. Imbrie, widow of the murdered consul, gave great concern to officials here. There were indications that this development has caused the Wash- ington government to lose no time in seeing that the fullest protection is given Americans in Persia, (Continued trom Page One) ness {s simply an indication of a ps3 chopathic condition, his alienists j hold. Their open amustment at tra- | ele details of the case as revealed in| court; their lack of remorse; their | feeling against their victim, as ex Pressed by Leopold, when he told a detéctive that if he were planning to murder anyone he would “murder just such a cocky little—as Bobby Franks,” and the other seeming ab- normal reactions all indicate the p: sence of “frrationality,” the allenists claim. “But this irrationality is not pres- ent in sufficient degree to pronounce * the youths insane enough to merit placing them in an asylum,” one of the alienists said. “But yet the de- gree of irrationality is such as to place them beyond the pale of full | responsibility... In other words they jare only responsible to a limited de. gree. Therefore their accountability for the’érime is limited.” Darrow reiterated to the United Press tonight that he would’ not place Leopold or Loeb on the stand in their own defense. Reports were that he might do so to refute certain testimony given by Sergeant James J. Gortland, an important state wit- ness, Darrow enlivened proceedings to-| day when for the first time since the juidic hearings started, he strucie back s evidence. Gortland was one’of the officers who arrested Leo- pold. Gortland testified that Leo- pold told him he felt he could get off with life in prison if his case was heard by a “friendly judge." “If I should, plead not guilty and » tried by a jury, they'd hang me,” id said, according to Gortland I shoutd plead guilty and were heard before a friendly judge, I think I « life imprl ment, Non't you know that this story of yours of a friendly judge is a pure fabrication given for the purpose of Intimidating this court?’ ' Darrow cried. “No, it is not,” Gortland replied. Darrow took the attitude that his statement would prejudice the de- fendants in the eyes of the fustice, who is acting as judge and jury, and who wil impose sentence, The brilliant defense attorney at tacked the credibility. of much of Gortland’s testimony. Darrow forc- ed Gortland to admit that much of the conversation he reported having with Leopold was not written down at the time of the alleged con versation, but was dug from his memory Gortland had a mass of notes, in shorthand and longhand, on his talks with Leopold, but nowhere could he find a note on the “friendly judge" incident. Darrow also brought out that the incident was not included in Gortland’s official! report of his in vestigations, and also that he made first mention of it to Prosecutor Crowe only last Thursday. Darrow battered away at Gortland more than hour, consuming most of the day's short session.

Even those who live in luxury have them. Self preservation is marked down from times antediluvian as the first law for all things that live, yet the true mother in, any division of the animal kingdom never concedes it its place when her offsprings are threatened. ~ Neither did the “Old Kid" yester- day morning when at 9:30 o'clock a plug in the ammonia line of the Cas- per Provision company's refigerat- ing system. blew out under evcessive pressure, the pungent fumes forcing every employe and patron out of the store. Gasping at the doorways of the Place while an expert wearing a gas mask borrowed from the fire de- partment by Fred W. Hufsmith, crawled through the dense, destruc- tive atmosphere to repair the dam- age, the crowd was astonished to see “Old Kid" come blindly weaving and staggering out of the building, She wobbled across the street and underneath a parked car slowly re- cuperated, An hour late when the store had been cleared of its burting, nauseat- ing fumes four tiny kittens were found in a corner in the basement, purring feebly under a gurny sack. Immediately after the ammonia had poured its gas into the buflding, “Old Kid" had leaped to the barrel where she and her four little ones had their nest. One by one she had grabbed them by the necks, leaping out of the deep, dark hole. When all were in clawed a sack across the floor care- fully covering the family. She was barely able to save hereself. That's the story.

FRANCISCO, July 26.— (United Press.}—Northern California and Oregon bore the brunt tonight of the second determined outburst of forest fire on the Pacific coast this season. In California the fires centered in the old fire area of the Forest Hill divide, Tahoe National forest, and in Siskiyou county, on state land and to some extent in the Klamath National forest. Oregon fires were scattered. Be- tween Portland and Oregon City numerous brush fires were being fought to prevent damage to ranches and small towns. Many acres of maturing crops have been burned over in. this area. ‘een timber was being destroyed {n {Polk colnty. Fires in the coastal area for the most part have been controlled. On the Cascade divide, north of the Town of Sisters a serious fire was burning over private timb nds, Sunday morning regular army troops will be sent from ‘here and from Monterey in small detachments to patrol forests in Lake Bernardino and Newhall forest areas of South- ern California.
