INPROVENENTS AT SEQUIN GOLF CLUB Orri B, Smith Engaged to S1- pervise New Work on Course The Sequin Golf club of Newing- ton has announced that it has en- | gaged the services of Orrin B, Smith, golf courge engineer, to su« Jpervise work soon to be started on the course, Mr. Bmith, for the past several years, has been connected as golf course builder with Donald J. Ross, America's premier links archi- tect. ‘The. Sequin program is to further \mprove its course and brihg it up to -standard specifications with re- sard to traps pnd other hazards, The contour of several of the greens will be changed, traps are o be cut to protect them and mounds and bunkers generously placed along the fairways to catch shots off the line. These improve~ ments are designed and culcuinled t0 bring about added beauty to the ‘opography of the layout at Sequin, While the layout will be made stiffer the remodeling of some of the greens and, approaches will make several of the holes more fair, The incoming nine holes, as at present arranged, do not require much trapping as this side is now a good tést of golf. Mr. 8mith had charge of the construction at Shuttle Meadow, when that course was built under Willle Park and shortly after that joined Ross, While with the Ross assoclates he has been in close touch with the development and construction of the HRdgewood Country club, Pittsburgh, Pa.; J. 8. Jones' private course, Granville, Ohio; another course in Silver Springs, Maryland, going from there to develop a golf course for Henry Ford at Dearborn, Mich.

Chicago, Sept. 10.~The full text of Judge John R. Caverly's decislon in the Franks case follows: “In view of the profound and unusual interest that this case has aroused, not only in this community but in the entire country and even beyond its boundaries, the court feels it his duty to state the reasons which have led him to the determination he has reached. “It is not an uncommon thing that pleas of guilty are entered in criminal cases, but almost without exception in the past, such pleas have been the result of a virtual agreemnt between the defendant and the state's attorney, whereby, in consideration of the plea, the state's attorney consents to recom- mend to the court a sentence deemed appropriate by him, and, in the absence of special reasons to the contrary, it is the practice of the gourt to follow such recom- mendations. Plea Without Understanding. “In the present case, the situation is a different one A plea of gullty has been entered by the defense without a previous understanding with the prosecution and without any knowledge whatever on its part. Moreover, the plea of guilty did not in this particular case, as it usually does, render the task of the prose- cution easier by substituting admis- sion of guilt tor a possibly difficult and uncertain chain of proof. Here the state was in possession, not only of the essential, substantiating facts, but also of voluntary confessions on the part of the defendants. The make a special case in favor of the defendants. “Since both of the cases, that, namely of murder ¢nd that of kid- napping for ransora, were of a character whicl invested the court with discretion as to the ext2nt of the psnishmens, it brcame his duty under the statute to examine wit- nesses as to the aggravation and mitigation of the offense. This duty has been fully met. By con- scnt of counsel ter the state and tor the defeujants. the tesiimony in the murde: casc has been ac- cepted as equally ayplicable to the case of kidnapping rer ransom. In addition a prima facie case was made out fur the kidnapping case as well. “The testiraony introduced, both by the prosecution and the de- fcnse, has been ce detailed and elaborate as though the case had been tried before a jury. It has been given the widest publicity, and the public is so fully familiar with all its phases that it would serve no useful purpose to restate or analyzg | the evidence. “By pleading gullty, the dafen- | dants have admitted legal responsi- billty for their acts. The testimony has satisfled the court that the case | is now one in which it would have heen possible to set up unsuccess- | fully the defense of insanity as in- | sanity is defined and understood by the established law of this state for the purpose ‘of the administration of criminal justice. Calls Defendants Abnormal “The court, however, feels im- pelled to dwell briefly on the mass | of data produced as to the physi-| cal, mental and moral condition of | the two defendants. They have | been shown in essential respects to | be abnormal; had they been normal | they would not have committed the crime. It is beyond the province of this court, as it s beyond: the capacity of human science in its present state of development, to predicate ultimate responsibility for human acts. At the same time, the court Is willing to recognize that the, care- fu! analysis made of the life his- And Friday . Lb. 18¢ 20¢ 28¢ 359 FANCY WHITEFISH ..s.. Lb. FRESH BUTTERFISH ... Lb.

And yet the court feels strongly that similar | s made of other persons ac- cused of crime would probably re- veal similar or different abnormali- tice The value of such tests seem | to in their applicabllity to criminals in general. Since they concern the broad ques- ticns of human responsibility and | punishment, and are In’ no wise pecullar to these individual defcndants, they may be deserving of legislative, but not of judicial consideration. For this reason the | court is satisfied that his judgment | in the present case can not be af- fected thereby. Crime Exccuted With Cruelty “The testimony in this case re- veals a crime of singular atrocity. Tt is, in.a sense inexplicable; but it is not thereby rendered less inhuman or repusive. It was deliberately planned and prepared for during a considerable period of time. It was exccuted with every feature of cal- lousness and cruelty. “And here the court will say, not for the purpose of extenuating guilt, | lle spelling a misapprehension that ap- pears to have found lodgment in the | public mind, that he is convinced by conclusive evidence that there was | no abuse offered to the body of the | victim. But it did not need that ele- ment to make the crime abhorrent to every instinct of humanity, and | the court is satisfied that neither in | the act itself, nor in its motive or lack of motive, nor in the antece- dents of the offenders, can he find | any mitigating circumstances. “For both the crime of murder | and kidnapping for ransom the law | prescribes different punishments in | the alternative. “For the crime of murder, the | statute declares: | “‘Whoever is guiity of murder shall suffer the punishment of death or imprisonment in the penitentiary for his natural life, or for a term not less than fourteen years, If the accused is found guilty by a jury, they shall fix the punishment by their verdict upon a plea of guilty, the punishment should be fixed by the court.” “For the crime of kidnapping for ransom, the statute reads: **Whoever is guilty of kidnapping for ransom shall suffer death, or he punished by imprisonment in the penitentiary for life, or any term not less than five years.' “Under the plea of guilty, the duty of determining the punishment de- volves upon the court and the law indicates no rule or policy for the guidance of his discretion. In reach- ing his decision the court would have welcomed the counsel and sup- port of others, Considers Ages of Prisoners “In some states the legislature in its wisdlom has provided for a bench of three judges to determine the pen- alty in cases such as this. Neverthe- less, the court is willing to meet his responsibilities. It would have been the path of least resistance to im- pose the extreme penalty of the law. In choosing imprisonment Instead of death, the court is moved chiefly by the consideration of the age of the defendants, boys of 18 and 19 years. Tt is not for the court to say that he wiil not in any case enforce capital punishment as an alternative, but the court believes that it is within his province to decline to impose the sentence of death on persons who are not of full age. “This determination appears to be in accordance with the progress of criminal law all over, the world and | with the dictates of enlightened hu- manity. More than that, it seems to be in accordance with the prece- dents hitherto observed in this state. The records of Iillnois show only two cases of miuors who were put to death by legal process—to which Successful Executorships are never founded upon guess-work.

Consultations are co have supplied the al Bank with this rdially invited. number the court does not feel in- clined to make an addition, “LAfe imprisonment mafy not, at the moment, strike the public im- agination as forcibly as would death by hanging; but to the offenders, particularly of the type they are, the prolonged suffering of years of con- finement may well be the severer form of retribution and expiation. Opposed To Parole “T'he court feels It proper to add a final word concerning the effect of parole law upon the punishment of these defendants. In the case of such atrocious crimes, it Is entirely within the discretion of the depart- ment of public weifare never to ad- mit these defendants to parole, To such a polley the court urges them strictly to adhere. If this course is persevered in, the punishment of these defendants will both satisfy the ends of justice and safeguard the in- terests of socie “In number indietment for murder, the sentence of the court is that you, Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., be confined In the penitentiary at Joliet for the term of your natural life.
