et News of the World TABLISHED 1870 GIRL FRIEND, TESTIFYING FOR LOEB, IS ACCUSED OF PERJURY BY PROSECUTION Crowe Declares Miss Lorraine Nathan's Story On Stand Dif- fers From What She Previously Told Him. He Also Positively Declines to Curtail Witnesses or Evidence in Hastening Trial, The Associated Press, Chicago, Aug. 7.~~Introduction lay witnesses by the defense in seek- ing mitigation of punishment for Na- than F. Leopold, Jr, and Richard Loeb, confessed murderer of Bobby Franks, whom they had kidnapped, brought from Robert E. Crowe, state’s attorney the shouted charge that one of them had ‘“committed deliberate perjury.”’ Miss Lorraine Nathan, a "school friend of Loeb, was on the wit- ness stand when Mr, Crowe, in seek- ing to impeach her testimony, charged hat she was changing her remarks | ‘rom statements she had made in his office soon after Loeb was arrested ‘or the Franks murder. Girl's Testimony Miss Nathan just had testified that | 1t one time she was tond of Loeb, | 18 he was of her, but that she did 10t feel “that way now,” and that seing a lady, would not lie to- aid .0eb. Mr. Crowe's denial of the de- ense's right to have Miss Nathan zad her earlier statement led to an arly recess of court. The defense and state were direct- d to bring in authorities on the de- ense's contention that Miss Nathan hould see the record of earlier s re- narks before proceeding as a wit- ress. Miss Nathan, the first girl witness | 0 appear for the defendants, made a iomewhat nervous piclu* on the stand. She testified . in & cool, but somewhat catchy voice, and her con- slysions as to Loeb’s ‘eonduct, so slosely paralleled that of three fam- sug mental experts who had preceded 28, that the slate's attorney ironical- 'y started his cross-examination by 1ddressing her as “doctor.” On the witness stand she avoided Loeb's glances, but when she passed 1im a she left the court room, she slutched hie arm whispered in his jar, and still was talking when a oailiff jerked LoeL away from her grasp. Crowe Dyrlines “Our answer was a blanket ‘no’,” tald Robert E. Crowe, state's attor- ney, who indicated that the defense's ldea was to dispense with lay - wit- nesses If the state would accept a blanket statement of what their testi- mony would be, and would also stop ralling more lay witnesses. After a thirty minute recess, in which the state's attorney and his ‘hree assistants considered the pro- posal, the hearing was resumed with Max Schrayer, student of the Univer- sty of Michigan, as the defense's first lay witness. Today's Testimony The defense, having temporarily laid aside its professional testimony, today called school companions and friends of Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, kidnapers-slayers of Robert Franks, to give Judge John R. Caverly other evidence on which is based hope of mitigation when he pro- nounces sentence. Max Schrayer, University of Michi- gan student, was to be the first wite ness called today, Clarence 8. Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, said, and a gir] friend of Loeb would be the next. The defense counsel stated the wit- nesses would be used in an effort to show that the defendants were ab- normal at the time they had planned and put into effect the kidnaping and murder of Bobby Franks, When Judge Caverly resumed the hearing he immediately announced a thirty minute recess. The judge said that the defense and state had informed him that a con- ference at his time probably would save from two to five days of the hearing. . Frat Brother on Stand Bchrayer identified himself as 21 years old and . Chicago jobber of household goods since graduation from the University of Michigan, where he was a fraternity brother of Loeb. Schrayer's first answers to question- iag by Mr. Darrow met repeated ob- jections by Mr. Crowe, who Insisted the witness was drawing conclusions. Bchrayer said he had observed Loeb to be very nervous, to which the state objected and was sustained. Mr. Dar. row asked the question in other phrases and brought this reply: “T observed he had a twitching of the mouth, was nervous in his gesture with his hands, dragged his ankle and on special occasions drank 4 great deal.. He fainted several times at Michigan. He smoked a great deal and showed nervousness in doing it.” Repeated efforts on the part of Mr. Darrow to have the witness give his observations as to the responsibility of Leeb brought as many objections from Mr. Crwe, Loeb was known as a reader of dime novels and detectives stories, the witness continued, replying to a ques- tion by Mr. Darrow at to Loeb's read- (Continued on ‘Pm L of | NEW BRITAIN HERALD NEW, BRITAIN, CONNE HARTFORD PEOPLE CITY BROILS WHILE ADVICE FOR PARENTS GIVEN BY ALIENIST| | Create Home Atmosphere of Confidence, Says j Dr. Glueck Chicage., Aug.

Once the ehild is given an opportunity for un- burdening his mind, he becomes free and natural in his general relations, the scientist continued, adding: “This tragedy occurred because no one ever knew these boys as ‘persona.’ There was never at any time an un- derstanding of the whole child but merely certain phases. and a child isn't a ‘phase.’ Their parents knew | each in the conventional relation, and thelr teachers knew each in the pupil phase——merely as intellectual recep- tacles.” “The teacher had much better ask herself—and so had the parent—‘how closely am I in touch with the lives of my children; how much do I know of what is going on in their minds; to what extent do they fgel free to come to me with intimate personal problems’ 2" | phere WILLIMANTIC WILL BOY WATER FOR CITY USAGE | Prolonged Drouth Has Yowered Reg- | ular Supply And Council Takes Action Willimantic, Aug. 7. — Threatened shortage of city water here, due to the drouth of five weeks' duration with only light rainfall, will be taken care of by the purchase of water from ad- ditional sources of supply In Westfield and Chaplin, which was authorized last night in a resolution which was | passed by the city couneil. | Pumps at the large supply reser- voir in Mansfield which force the water into ge city supply reservoir at | Hosmer mountain have been working | for 20 hours a day for the past five weeks, The streams which supply the storage reservolr are drying up, how- ever, and on Friday the city took over the supply from the Buck pond in Westfield, which has been held as a reserve, Owners of the Hall pond in Chap- lin have offered to give the supply of water to the city if any damages re-,| sulting therefrom are guaranteed and similar arrangements are to be made with owners of a second pond fin| Westfleld provided the drouth contin- | ues long enough to exhaust the supply from the Hall pond.
