By The Asseciated Chicage, Aug ~That Nathan Leopold, Jr, and Richard Loeb have paranoid personalities was the direct statement made today to Judge John R, Caverly by Walter Bachrach, one of the attorneys who are trying to save from the gallows the admitted murderers of Kobert Franks Mr. Bachrach devoted much of his argument to an analysis of the meds ical testimony, asserting that the alienists had taken insufficient oppors tunity to study the youths. He also Intimated that those obs survations had been made with the idea of stopping a defense based upon legal Insanity and therefore failed to take into consideration symptoms which would show a mental discase short of insanity, Mr, Bachrach quoted testimony given by Dr, Hugh T, Patrick, a state alienist, on cross-cxamination to prove his point as to the character of the stute's investigatign. He followed with quotations fromga book written by Doctors H. Douglas Singer and Willlam 0. Krohn, state alienists, From this volume he read symptoms of paranoia and pointed out that these had all been found in the de- fendants by the lengthy examinations of the defense allenists. “We do not claim that these boys are stupid or do not realize where they are,” said Mr. (Bachrach, “but the fact they are ‘of high intelligence and do realize it are, taken in con- nection with the .cirenmstance, evi- dence that they are paranoiacs.' Mr. Bachrach named Loeb's use of wrong premises in his logie and Leo- pold’s delusions of grandeur and hold- ing himself as a superman, as the chief corollary facts, “A paranolac may consider himself equal to a king, to Napoleon, to Christ, or even God Almighty,” said Mr. Bachrach. ‘“He need not say ha is equal, but if he acts as if he be- Heved himself in that exalted sphere it 18 evidence of a paranoiac person- ality.” Mr. Bachrach, picking up This thread or argument stopped yesterday at adjournment, began with a discus- sion of the alienists’ testimony for the state, pointing out that they did not have the proper surroundings to make a scientific or inclusive exam- ination.

Foster of Chicago, presidential nom- inee of the workers' party, fn an ad- dress here last night, declared that “the democracy we live under is a fake and a pretense” and invited his audience to “join the workers party and become a member of the interna- tional communistic organization of the world on the eve of the greatest rev- olution in history.” Ioster referred to the present gov- ernment in Russia as an “ideal work- ers’ government” declaring that “the soviet system is the next step in the social evolution of America.” He characterized Senator La Fol- lette's presidential candidacy as *“cat- ering to the small capitalists, the small business men, merchants and some farmers” and declared that “when the workers become more powerful in this country La Follette, Gompers and the small capitalists will rise with the big capitalists to squelch us.” Referring to national defense day as ‘‘mobilization day” Ifoster said it was “another step toward another great war.” He said there would continue to be wars as long as the workers do not get all that they produce, dand “so long as huge surpluses of the world's products are piled up.” The speaker declared the govern- ment “is run by capitalists” and that the Coolidge and Davis campaigns are financed by Wall street. “Ninety per cent of the funds used in their campaigns come from that source,” he added. Foster said that hile the other parties are advancing as the main {s- sues of the campaign such things as the tariff, taxation and the world court, we are putting our finger on the source of trouble. That is the cancer on society and we propose to remove that cancer by a surgical oper- ation and that operatiom will be a so- cial revolution.” Ocean Beach, New Tondon, Scene of Tragedy.

There was but little water in the boy's lungs, which led physicians at first to believe that gome physical incapacity might have been the cause of death. Medical Fx- aminer Charles Kaufman, however, pronounced death due to drowning. DIES OF BLOOD POISONING. Torrington, Aug. 22.—Catherine V.
