Aug. 1.—Judge John Caverly overrufed objections by tettae to alienist testimony offered in mitigation as to punishment by the attorneya for Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb. The result which came after more than two court days of argument was a decided victory for the defense as 1t established the right to give testi- mony on mental disease short of legal insanity, “not as a defense, but in mitigation of punishment.” Decision is Momentous The decision was momentous In legal annals of this state as no exactly similar situation could be found by attorneys for either side in Hlinois racords. The fleld opened by today's finding was more extensive than In cases which bordered it. “It is the court’s duty to hear this evidence,” sald Judge Caverly. “It is not his duty to reject it before he had an opportunity to hear it. “The objection bw the state is over- rul+4."” Dr. White' on Stand. Immedias:ly Dr. Willlam A. White, R. the alienist from Washington, D. C., took | the stand and stated his professional connections, the stage where his tes- timony was interrupted Wednesday morning. Farly in Dr. White’s testimony Mr. Crowe blocked efforts to bring in speculative opinions as to the influ- ence of home environment. Judge Caverly ruled that the witness might answer only as to what he had learned about the defendants but al- lowed him to state the relative im- portance of Buch conditions. Today’s Activitiues More arguments on the admissibil- ity of the testimony of allenists in the proceedinga which are to deter- mine the punishment of Nathan Leo- pold, Jr.,, and Richard Loeb for the murder of 14-year-old Robert Franks were in prospect when court opened today. ‘Walter Bachrach of defense coun- sel was due to finish his analysis of cases offered by the state in its effort to bar from the record reference to the mental state of the defendants. He had a dozen or more much cases to discuss, Robert B. Crowe, state’s attorney, said this morning that the prosecu- tion would certainly reply to Mr. Rachrach’s argument and also to the impassioned plea with which Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the de- fense, stirred the court yesterday. The prospect of more vocal pyrotch- nics, with perhaps a momentous legal ruling by Judge Gaffney, at their con- cluslon, proved a magnet for court fans. The prolongation of the pro- ceedings has served only to increase the interest of the curlosity seekers and this morning the queue of would- be spectators formed on the floor be- low the court room hours before the doors were opened. Those who had arrived later than 8:30 were out of Tuek. “We have made an analysis of all the cases cited by the state,” said Mr. Bachrach. “Except in one or two in- consequentlal instances, none of them related to Instances in which mental disease was offered as mitigation of punishment. All were inapplicable to this case. o "As this argument has progressed I have wondered what function there wae in the office of state's attorney that allowed him to fix the punish- | ment of these defendants.,” “What right has he as an officer of the law, to demand what form of punishment should be meted out? “It is, in fact, none of his business. Whether a defendant pleads gullty or | is convicted by a jury, his function is to inform the court by laving hfllore} it all facts in the case. | “That 18 his real duty, whether the | facts are favorable or unfaverable to | the defendante, | Consclence A< a Guide “Were 1 in his place T would, In- | stead let my conscience be my galde and were 1 a judge T would want to know everv fact that could he pre- ' sented from either viewpoint of both state and defense: would weigh the ponderable as well as the imponder- able."” thas been completed for 1024, The {necessary amount has been reached and the natural momentum which will carry along for a short time will take {care of the additional children which can be accommodated by the added housing facilities, so that everybody Is satisfied and all fs well, Tt 18 with pleasure that the Fresh Alr Editor of the Herald and Treasur- er L. W. Young are enabled to report today that the fund has reached its |goal and gone slightly beyond the amount set. The last day's reports hroyght in $281, which, added to the $232 proceeds of the golf tournament, brings the total up to $5,563.80, Early in the year the directors de. clded to ask for $5,500 for mainte- nence expenses this year. which developed to take care of more children by adding to the facilities came along later in the sum- {mer and produced $880.57 in addl- tional funds, The success of the new movement provided for additional children and increased the mainte- nance costs somewhat. This amount will be absorbed in the total received. In the maintenance fund contribu- |tions wers generous, prominent among them being a number of sniall but welcome contributions from children, who earned the money in various ways.
