How He Did I, The manner in whieh Gilpatric was able to perform the neipal part of the 8262000 extractions from the bank became known today for the st time. As it stands now, the bank's losses are in two parts, those represented by Liberty bonds and other negotiable securities, and funds obtained on ne with straw dorsers, Divectors Were Ignorant, One of the ufficlals of the instity tion which today was in the hands of George W, Coffin of New Haven as receiver la authority for the siate. ment that the directors of the bank never knew of he institution’s respon. | #ibilly for these securities which were ven It for safe keeping, and like. e were in Ignorance of the notes that have cropped up to date, Diverted Many Securities Persons with Liberty bonds brought them to the bank and almost invariably asked for Mr, Gilpatric himeelf to take them over, so great was their confidence in him person- ally, Although record of such funds was kept by the bank, wit' entries made by the official recelving the se- curities, examination of the books has shown that Mr, Glipatric in moat instances failed to note.the receipt that he gave in behalf of the bank, and diverted the s eredit, Examiners Could Not Know. The directors could know nothing of the practice, it was pointed out, and similarly the National Bank ex- aminers on their periodical visits had no meéans of checking the existence of the bank's responsibility for such sccurities which did not appear any- where on its books. The worthless notes that have ap- peared so far represent a compara- tively amaill amount of the $262,000 that is missing, and any further losses of the bank’s funds would be uncov- ered through the checking up of the cutstanding notes, and the security for them, that is now being made.

Benjamin Bachrach of the defense counsel resumed questioning Dr, Pa-| trick about hig examination of Leo. pold in the oMce of Nobert K, Crowe, state's attorney, The question con- | | corned chiefly the subject of the | “psychology of birds” which Dr, Pa-| trick sald had been discussed, Clar- ence 8! Darrow, chief of defense coun- | sel, sald after adjournment yesterday |that Mr, Bachrach's examination | | might or might not be aimed at the ! Intention te show Dr, Patrick formed his conclusions as to lLeopold's mental | condition after a conversation of only | | twenty minutes, | “There was some conversation about the psychology of man, of animals and of human behavior, and the question of where instinct ceused and | reason began, and how each was con- trolled,” said the doctor. “This sort of conversation, of course, would not throw considerable {light on the mental processes, but it was exceedingly well adapted to bring out certain things, It was well adapt- ed to ascertaining his mental concen- tration, his ability to hold a conver- | sation in the presence of other people. It was an excellent opportunity to see how logical his mind was, an oppor- tunity to obtain to a considerable de- gree to learn his use of language and memory. Leopold did not seem at all excited and was Quite cool and col- lected.” Reading from his notes, Dr. Patrick continved: “Leopold was responsive, although | very inaggessible, limotionally nor- mal in discussion. Seemed quite sus- ceptible to flattery."” “Mostly, 1 listened,” said Dr. Pat- rick, in reference to his conversation | with Leopold. The questioning for 10 minutes pur- sued the apparently aimless trend of the last 30 minutes yesterday, finally reaching the statement that more than 15 persons were present, when Dr. Patrick examined Leopold. “Did you ever in your life make an examination as to a mental condition under such conditions?” asked Mr. Bachrach. “I think not,” replied Dr. Patrick. “When they all were assembled, how did ‘the meeting open?" asked Mr. Bachrach. Tell Story of Crime “The story of the crime was told over again, I think, at the request of Mr. Crowe, who made the remark about it being told for our benefit,” Dr. Patrick said. “He suggested that we observe them. At any rate we knew we were there for an examina- tion, We listened in and asked some. questions afterward. Mr, Bachrach asked that Dr. Pat- rick tell him what the youth had said about the crime. “Oh, gee, must I tell all that again,” almost gasped the doctor. “Yes, as minutely as urged Mr. Bachrach, Dr. Patrick again told the story of the kidnapping and murdering of Bobby Franks. The Motive Questioned The motive was one of the first things asked about after the gtory of the crime had been told to him, Dr. Patrick said. “Mr. Crowe asked Leopold {f money had anything to do with it,” eaid the witness, ‘'and both Loeb and Leopold said it was part of the plan.” Dr. Patrick said he did not hear anything said about the ‘“perfect crime,” but that that idea was pres- ent during his conversation with the youths, As to expressions of remorse, Dr. Patrick said, Loeb remarked that he regretted the crime on account of his father, who was ill. “Otherwise there was no display of remorse,” said the doctor. “They both concluded by saying something about not being quitters more counteraet you can,” Prince to Visit is to visit| Prince Olav veached his | will follow L'nil:di | Another royal prince | America.
