Loeb, in committing his part in the Franks murder, was large ly swayed by motives harbored since early childhood, Dr, Hurt burt said. Altho his education was not ir itself a factor, his outside read ing including the detective stor jes he started reading as © smal child and continued up until the time of the crime, was a factor The fact that his emotions ane his judgment ‘were immature was another factor.

Dr. Hulbert was turned over t¢ the prosecution for cross-examin: ation. State's Attorney Robert EB.

Crowe then shifted his tactles asking the witness what if any: thing he found in the phsyical ex aminations of Loeb and Leopold that would indicate they were men- tally abnormal or had criminals: tic tendencies, The witness said nothing in the physical examination—exclusive of the laboratory test—would indicate” either abnormal mentality or crim- inalistic tendencies. He said, how: ever, that laboratory tests of gland reactions in both boys indicated dis- eased functions of their brains, “Are you sure, doctor, that these two intellectuals didn’t cheat you?” Crowe asked. “I-am sure they didn't,” the witness replied. “Well, couldn't they hhaye cheated you if they had wanted to’ “No.” “Why?” “Because I am brighter than they are.” “Do you mean intellectually or emotionally, doctor?” “Both,” the doctor with a smile at the youthful college graduates, “Does that go for the pre coclous Mr. Leopold as yell as Loeb? : "i s, sir.” Crowe assailed the credibil ity of Dr. Hulbert as a wit. — ness. 9 STORM TOLL Tornado Injures Five More in Colorado Farm House — DENVER, Colo, Aug. 11 .—Nine rn! persons were killed, five injured and considerable property damage done by a tornado which struck’ near — Thurman, Colo., yesterday afternoon.
