Church and Club News LARGE CLASS RECEIVED INTO YEOMAN LODGE A LOEMAN meeting of importance and greatest pleasure was held in the new quarters of the fine Knights of Pythias building last night when a class of 22 candidates was taken thru the initiatory degrees, the Belvedere Progressive homestead putting on the work for the three lodges, Orange, Fullerton and Anaheim. The candidates were received into these several lodges, as the custom prevails of holding the joint initiation once each quarter. The visiting degree team was repleendent in full regalia and the work was artistically and impressively done. The evening opened with a cafetoria supper served at 7 o'clock. Following the ritualistic work the banquet room was again visited and light refreshments served. Dancing was featured after this with the Llewellyn orchestra providing the music. Among the notables in lodge were W. J. Elliott of Manteca, state manager and Mrs. Charlotte Hawluga, past supreme chaplain, who directed the initiation. The next quarterly meeting will be held in Orange with the Anaheim team conferring the initiation. At one time this team had the reputation of being the best in the state and nothing less than that distinction will satisfy in the lodge now again under J. S. Freeman, district manager. The meeting last night held considerable of the home-coming spirit as many of the old members who had dropped out during the inactivity of the lodge, were again in their places and everyone had a fine evening.

Plans were discussed for a progressive missionary social to be held in the near future. Mrs. Emma Luhring, Mrs. Jessie Messermith, Mrs. W. C. Mauerhna composed the committee in charge.

Interesting games were played thru the social hour, being interrupted with music. The merger company was then invited to march to the pergola at the Ballroom, which is almost like a fair bower, with the many beautified poted plants and blooms so carefully and successfully grown by Mrs. Ballou.

DEMAND HANGING FOR BOY KILLERS (Continued from Page One) And while these two argued over the lives of the defendants the two youths, Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, sat like unconcerned spectators, supermen outwardly, even into the shadow of the gallows. Except for an occasional half-involuntary clutching at his collar by Loeb, neither defendant exhibited any emotion and neither looked at Jacob Franks as the aged man, his face lined with grief and his eyes glazed with starting tears, sat in the witness chair, duly identifying the clothing worn by his little boy the day he was murdered. As exhibit after exhibit was handed to him, shoes, a stocking, a bolt buckle, a clasp pin—his control visibly left him. He coughed awkwardly several times before replying to prosecution's questions; his fingers clasped and unclasped nervously as he occasionally looked straight out into the little courtroom to where an elderly woman, dressed all in black, her mother face showing traces of recent tears, looked blankly ahead. She was Mrs. Franks, mother of the slain boy, who at the last moment had decided to attend today's court session. The addresses of the opposing counsel brot out but three salient points: That the slaying had been committee because the defendants were desperately in need of funds with which to settle large gambling debts. That there has been account affected as the questioning concerning his son and the first time he saw the body. He gave his answers, however, in a clear tone. After establishing his identity and place of residence, the prosecution took about the condition of his son on May 21, the day before the murder. This finished, the prosecution next asked: "And where did you next see your son?" Mr. Franks faltered—coughed and said slowly, but clearly: "At the morgue." Mr. Franks then identified shoes and a stocking which his son had worn the day of the murder. He held the state's exhibits lovingly and seemed reluctant to hand them back. At 12:30, while Mr. Franks was still on the stand, court was adjourned until this afternoon. CRIMINAL COURT ROOM. CHICAGO, July 23.—The need of large sums with which to satisfy gambling debts was the motive in the slaying of Robert Franks by Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb. It was charged here today in the opening address of State Attorney Cruwe, at the hearing which may send the boys to the gallows for the killing. Prosecutor Crowe did not dwell on this supplying of a motive in the "crime for a thrill," but continued on tracking the developments of the case and outlining the evidence in the hands of the prosecution. Prosecutor Crowe told of their visit to the Harvard school, where he charged Loeb went to look over the pupils, all sons of wealthy parents, with a view of determining the whose father could best pay the $10,000 on the following day. They had virtually determined criminal courts, and the unique got under way here when Nathan Leopold, Jr., and bosom companion, Richard L. both sons of millionaires, summoned before the bar o'tice to answer for the kidnake and slaying of 13-year-old R Frankis in most brutal fashions. The trial is stripped of liminaries because no jury hear the evidence and States torney Robert E. Crowe prompt to hold his opening statement within two hours. Judge John R. Caverly, justice of the Cook county final court, was both judge Jury. The trial is most unique that respect. Court was called to order 10:50.

Loeb was called for a lar proceeding. The reading of the indictment finished, preparations for the trial start of proceedings made. Judge Cavely ordered no one else be permitted to the court room. Prosecutor Crowe addressed court and moved a continuum the case but Attorney Back immediately voiced objection any continuance. A discussion followed. M A D In black, her motherly face showing traces of recent tears, looked blankly ahead. She was Mrs. Franks, mother of the shain boy, who at the last moment had decided to attend today's court session. The addresses of the opposing counsel brot out but three salient points: That the slaying had been committee because the defendants were desperately in need of funds with which to settle large gambling debts. That there has been accumulated some secret evidence"which, because of its nature, cannot be offered in open court," and. That the defense may repudiate the confessions and attempt to show that the crime was not committed in the manner which up to this time virtually has been taken for granted. During this recital came the first hint of information in the hands of the prosecution, of which so far no intimation has been made public. Attorney Crowe, interrupting the course of his address, advised the court that "certain evidence will be offered privately, insuch as its nature prevents its recital in open court." This evidence, Attorney Crowe said, will have an important bearing on the case. In concluding his address, Attorney Crowe declared the prosecution would show that all acts in the crime took place in Cook-co., Illinois, and that after the defense had finished the state would demand the death penalty for the defendants. "We will show that this was one of the most dastardly crimes in the history of American jurisprudence and in the name of the motherhood and fatherhood we shall demand that these slayers hang in payment for their crime." Attorney Crowe finished at exactly noon, and Clarence Darrow, chief of defense counsel, immediately took the floor and started his argument. A legal tilt between Mr. Crowe and Mr. Darrow followed almost at once. Mr. Darrow, in opening, referred sarcastically to Mr. Crowe's peroration in which he had declared this case one of the most dastardly crimes in American history. "Dustardly crimes," sneered Mr. Darrow. "These are the back phrases of the profession." Mr. Crowe immediately was on his feet. "I object, your honor," he declared. "It makes no difference what kind of a crime this is." "It made enough difference so that you took occasion to refer to it." Darrow returned. If you believed it was out of place it was your privilege to object. I demand that this hearing Prosecutor Crowe did not dwell on this as supplying of a motive in the "crime for a thrill," but continued on tracking the developments of the case and outlining the evidence in the hands of the prosecution. Prosecutor Crowe told of their visit to the Harvard school, where he charged Loeb went to look over the pupils, all sons of wealthy parents, with a view of determining the one whose father could best pay the $10,000 on the following day. They had virtually determined on Johnny Levinson, son of a prominent Chicago attorney,Crowe said, and retired to Leopold's house to obtain field glasses thru which, from a safe distance, the defendants watched the movements of their intended victim. Only the fact that Levinson failed to leave the school in the way the defendants had expected he would, saved him from death, Crowe declared. The defendants then, he said, turned their attention to other possible victims and finally settled on Frank, who happened to be the last student to leave the school. "They enticed their victim into the car," Crowe continued, "turned their machine into a side street where the boy's cries would not be heard and beat him four times over the head with the chisel. Then he was dragged back from the front seat, a gag showed down his throat and a hand held over his mouth and a nose until left the body. Then fearful that their car would be stopped while the body still was in it, they secured two revolvers, determined to shoot any citizen or police officer who might attempt to halt them. And only because no one did attempt to stop them is the reason we do not have another murder charge against them today." The attorney then traced the disposal of the body, the loss of the glasses and the pouring of the hydrochloric acid over young Frank's face which he said was done by Loeb. Water in the drain into which the body was placed, the attorney said washed away most of the acid and prevented the burning which it had been expected would be accomplished. At 11:15 while Prosecutor Crowe was in the midst of his address, Judge Cavarly ordered a five-minute recess and announced that it would be the custom during the hearing to convene court at 10 a.m. and hold two sessions, the first from 10 to 12:50 and the second from 1:30 to 4 o'clock. Prosecutor Crowe then began his address. He said: "Evidence in this case would show that Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb are sons of wealthy parents who gave them every advantage that money could buy." Evidence further will show DUSTARDLY CRIMES. In American history, "Dustardly crimes," sneered Mr. Darrow. "These are the back phrases of the profession." Mr. Crowe immediately was on his feet. "I object, your honor," he declared. "It makes no difference what kind of a crime this is." "It made enough difference so that you took occasion to refer to it." Darrow returned. If you believed it was out of place it was your privilege to object. I demand that this hearing be conducted like a trial and not like an experiment." Crowe returned. Oh, he read that somewhere in a book," Darrow sneered, and as personalities were threatened, the judge intervened and restored an armed truce. Darrow opened his address by declaring that the defense would show that the crime was not committed in the manner which has been published. "Terrible as this murder is, terrible as is any killing," he continued, "it is no less a crime that two boys of the tender age of these defendants should be hanged by the neck." Mr. Darrow charged that public sentiment was inflamed against the defendants and that the lust for their blood was racing thru the nation. He spoke but ten minutes, a minute raising his voice so that it re-echoed about the court room but mainly speaking in a quiet tone. When he had finished, the prosecution called Jacob Franks, but some delay followed and during the wait, Edward M. Gresher, an uncle of Robert Franks, was called and sworn. He was asked to tell of being taken by two newspapers to the undertakers where Robert Franks' body had been taken. After his visit there had been established, Crowe asked him to describe the body. "It was absolutely unclothed," the witness said. "It had on horn-rimmed spectacles which I removed. I then examined certain marks and established beyond doubt that it was the body of my nephew." Jacob Franks then took the stand. He appeared visibly at Crowe was in the midst of his address, Judge Caverly ordered a five-minute recess and announced that it would be the custom during the hearing to convene court at 10 a.m. and hold two sessions, the first from 10 to 12:50 and the second from 1:30 to 4 o'clock. Prosecutor Crowe then began his address. He said: "Evidence in this case would show that Nathan Leoepold and Richard Loeb are sons of wealthy parents who gave them every advantage that money could buy." Evidence further will show they acted much as other young men in their set except that they gambled for large sums. "The evidence further will show that about last September these two men entered into a conspiracy to kidnap the son of some wealthy man as a means of securing money to meet these obligations." Crowe continued to trace the alleged conspiracy, to the hiring of the automobile used in the crime and the arrangements made for escaping detection. He offered in evidence the "George Johnson" kidnapping letter sent to the father of the Franks boy. Mr. Crowe said he would show that the letter was written by Leoepold and that, as an example of extreme caution and cunning with which the crime had been perpetrated, Leoepold some days previously had bought some writing paper in an out of the way sure on which to write the letters, in order to avoid a possible tracing of the stationary. Attorney Crowe then proceeded to the day of the crime. He charged that by this time the defendants had determined to murder their victim immediately instead of carrying out a kidnapping plan formerly agreed upon. He traced their steps on that day, their buying of the hydrochloric acid which Attorney Crowe charged was to have been used in destroying their victim's features. He told how they had bought rope to tie their victim and how they had obtained the chisel with which they later beat out the life of their little victim." CHICAGO, July 23.—Stripped of the usual boresome preliminaries and bared to its last fighting stages, the greatest criminal trial in the history of Chicago Social and Fraternal which Judge Caverly ruled that the case would go ahead on the murder indictment. Prosecutor Crowe then began his address. He said: BIDS ON GRADING SACRAMENTO, July 23.—The California Highway Commission today advertised for bids for the garding of a section of the Constituted between Corona Del Mar and Laguna Beach, 5.2 miles. Bids will be opened in Sacramento, Aug. 18th. The section to be graded is one of the last ungraded units of the entire Oxnard-San Juan Capistrano state highway. In view of the depleted finances of the highway commission, the Laguna Beach grading contract will be one of the last advertised by the commission for some weeks with the exception of several small cooperative projects where counties already have advanced to the state a part of the necessary funds. Plans and specifications are being prepared for the paving of an uncompleted gap in the state highway between Redlands and Beaumont. This probably will be the next undertaking of consequence in So.
