STATE NEAR END IN MURDER CASE (Continued from Page One) Ideal nerved young collegian who has laughed and joked his way through the most solemn moments of this speech murder trial, utterly broke down after he had relieved himself of the entire story of their kidnap and killing of the boy. Dulry announced that he will be away tomorrow to go ahead with his defense and that the first wicket will be one of the half dozen medical experts employed by the boy's wealthy families in an effort to save them from the gallows. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, July 29.—Any and all efforts by the corps of alliedists employed by the wealthy Leopold and Loeb families to represent "Dicky" Loeb and Nathan Leobid, Jr., to be insane or mentally incompetent—thus furnishing the "mitigating circumstances" for the cold blooded murder of little Bobby Frank—will be not only contested by the state, which is seeking to hang them for the crime. This was reaffirmed in positive language today by State's Atty. Robert E. Growe, as the eighth city of the Leopold-Leob trial got under way in Justice Caverly's court. He was aroused by the report of Dr. William Healy, a Boston psychiatrist, employed by the defense, in which Leopold was said to be "dangerous" and of "paranoid and monomaniac types." The alienists and the medical sharks are swinging into action. Slowly, methodically, like the drop of a trip hammer, the results of their weeks of prodding and punching their X-rays and microscopic examinations are beginning to make themselves felt in the many old courtroom. Yesterday Drs. Hulbert and Bowman, two of the eminent psychiatrists employed by the wealthy families of the young slayers, made public their preliminary report. They found "Babe" and "Dicky," to be legally sane, but moronic, morally queer, with malicious intent. ENDORSE SIX FOR G.O.P. COMMITTEE Endorsement of six out of the 12 candidates in No. Orange-co for the Republican-co central committee will be given at a meeting of the Coolidge-for-President Club tonight in the office of J. S. Howard. The club also will endorse one of the three candidates for assembly, one of the officers said. The club already has endorsed Edward P. Sampee and others. It will not act on candidates for supervisors, according to the officer. FRENCH ANXIOUS FOR AN AGREEMENT PARIS, July 29.—The French delegation is working with a firm desire for agreement among the allies and for peace," said Premier Edouard Herriot, in a report upon the London reparations conference which was read in both the senate and chamber of deputies this afternoon. The statement added: "While seeking to give legitimate security to the subscribers to the proposed German loan, the French delegation is taking precautions against attacks upon the Versailles treaty and the rights of France." LAUNCH PROBE IN FAKE DEATH PLOT LOS ANGELES, July 29.—The county grand jury was prepared today to launch a rigid investigation of the alleged fake drowning plot staged off Catalina Island for the purpose of collecting $20,000 life insurance made out to John Dexter Wiley, real estate salesman of Los Angeles. Wiley, his wife, Nelite, W. B: George, an insurance adjuster, and H. J. Hughes, a salesman, are held in county jail without bond on charges of conspiracy to defraud, as a result of charges made by the authorities. The grand jury will be asked to return indictments against the quartet. FULLERTON BRIEF'S Leaving over U. P.: Ed Stark. sharks are swirling into action. Slowly, methodically, like the drop of a trip hammer, the results of their weeks of prodding and punching their X-rays and microscopic examinations are beginning to make themselves felt in the marty old courtroom. Yesterday Drs. Hulbert and Bowman, two of the eminent psychiatrists employed by the wealthy families of the young slayers, made public their preliminary report. They found "Babe" and "Dicky" to be legally safe, but nototic, morally queer, with strange quirks and twists in their horonically developed intellects. Today another defense psychiatrist reported, Dr. William Healy, of Boston. It is his opinion that Nathan Leopold is unusually intellectual, far above the average for his age, but that he is morally a moron and emotionally an iceberg. Allowed to run their natural course, unchecked by ten feet of hemp rope, Dr. Healy believes these tendencies lead straight to unalterated insanity. It is upon these reports of the alienate that counsel for the two national youths are relying to convince Judge John R. Caverly that they should not hang but should be put away for the rest of their natural lives. The state will have none of this. It will contend, with its own array of allenists who have been setting a few feet from the youthful players for a week now, that they are legally sane, that they are morally responsible for one of the strangest and most affrontous crimes in the annals of American criminology, and that the law can not differentiate between those who kill merely for a "thrill" and those who kill for money or some other material profit." Tomorrow will see the opening of the battle of the allenists. It will be hard fought, difficult, and filled with words a yard long and questions of interminable length, in many respects a repetition of allists' battle in the Thaw case, which set a record in American court procedure. This talk of paronia and monomania indicated to the prosecutors that the defense is going to skate dangerously close to the line of pleading insanity for the youthful collegians despite its forfeiture of that right when they pleaded the boys guilty. The defense counsel merely smiled and went ahead with their plans for introducing, as soon as full state finishes, at least a half dozen men of medical science, who will testify to the "twenties" of "Babe" and "Annel Pare" Dicky." Dr. Healy came closer than the other allenists to pronouncing the copper Bake" insane. After describing him as a FULLERTON BRIEF'S Leaving over U.P.: El Stark, Story City, Iowa; and Mrs. A. L.

Scale, and Mr. and Mrs. Martin Reager will attend the Egyptian theatre this evening in Hollywood. Mrs. Martin Clark of Norwalk is a patient today at the Fullerton hospital. "dreamer" and as a "fantasy worshipper" the Boston psychiatrist had this to say about the boy who knows the Lord's Prayer in fifteen languages and who translates and reads in all of them: "On account of his disintegrated and diseased mental life in the realms of judgment and emotions, which leads to his showing an abnormal lack of foresight and care even for his abnormally cherished and delusionally developed ego, suggest that he has almost been bent on self-destruction. I see no other conclusion possible but that Leopold is a thoroughly unbalanced individual in his mental life, really mentally diseased, if the paranoiac and moronic type, which has produced so many criminals. "He is a socially dangerous person, suffering from a psychosis. "As is not uncommon with his type, he has been generally unrecognized, and continues to be unrecognized as mentally diseased as his ordinary behavior does not reveal his mental life." Dr. Healy's report concerned only Leopold. It did not touch upon his partner in the Franka crime, "Angel Face Dickle" Loeh, who has already been described by Drs. Hulbert & Bowman as the "master mind" of the diabolical plot that caused them to smash Bobble Franks' boytown head in with a cold clenis, and then stuff his body down a drain pipe.

ARMY OF BANDITS SURROUNDS TOWN MINNEAPOLIS, July 23—A bandit army moving in a fleet of motor cars surrounded Dover, Minn., near St. Charles, early today, flew the safe in the First State Bank, terrorized the town for nearly two hours and made off with only a few hundred dollars in lot when one of their number was injured by a premature blast which failed to open the inner vault. Two women entered the bank with the safeblowers and are believed to have assisted in the bungled job of cracking the strong box. Lieut. George Hillstrom, of the Minnesota police commanded a gun squad which started in the direction of Dover this morning to head off the bandit party. At the time his car left it was not known that more than a score of bandits participated in the holdup and the police squad faces the probability of being outnumbered and outofguidance, should it encounter the army. Three or four persons living in Dover were aroused by the explosion of the charge which wrecked the outer doors of the safe and left the floor stained with the blood of one of the robbers. H. Tubbs, depot agent at Dover stepped out of the front door of his house with a revolver in his hand to investigate the explosion. He was met with a fusillade of shots. Citizens who went to the telephone to call St. Charles and give the alarm, discovered that all lines had been cut and Tubbs going to his telegraph key at the depot later, found that even the telegraph wires had been severed. Telephone operators were still unable to call Dover today, and further details of the robbery were not learned, except that a trail of blood led from the safe to the street. Daily Fashion Hint Prepared Especially For This Newspaper KIWANIS STANDS ON RESOLUTION The Kiwanis club of Anakeim, through a motion regularly made, seconded and carried, has authorized its president and secretary to make the following statement: Our committee on Americanism brought in the following resolution addressed to the president of the United States, for our consideration and adoption, July 8th, which is as follows: "Mr. President: While we wish to assure you of our fullest loyalty to the Republic and all its great interests, we wish also to respectfully call your attention to what seems to us the entire unwildness of making Sept. 12th a Mobilization Day with various military celebrations and war-like gestures. We believe that the need of the world now is a will to peace and that nothing should be done to inflame the passions of our own people or to arouse the fears and suspicions of other nations. Hence, we hope that you may use your great powers to prevent the consumption of the plans now being formulated by the war department for the al-ove date." The resolution passed with marked unanimity as expressing the feelings not only of an overwhelming majority of this club but of the American people and a second motion to wry the resolution was carried with like enthusiasm. Our standing committee had given the whole subject careful consideration but when, July 15th, several members of Kiwanis assured us that no such celebration was contemplated, but that all was intended was that the reservists should telegraph their military superiors that they were ready for duty; two members of our committee asked us to refer the report back to it, even though our action had already been sent to the president. This they did to be as fair by the facts to all concerned, tho. even had the content been backed by the facts that there could be no harm done by our communication to the preside- Citizens who went to the telephone to call St. Charles and give the alarm, discovered that all lines had been cut and Tubbs going to his telegraph key at the depot later, found that even the telegraph wires had been severed. Telephone operators were still unable to call Dover today, and further details of the robbery were not learned, except that a trail of blood led from the safe to the street. WOOLWINE REFUSES BLOOD TRANSFUSION PARIS, July 29 — Thomas Lee Woolwine, former district attorney of Los Angeles county, who has been seriously ill here, this afternoon refused to undergo a fifth blood transfusion operation to restore blood lost by hemorrhages.

BANDITS MAKE HAUL HIGHLAND, Madison-co., Ill., July 29 — Five or six armed bandits this afternoon swooped down on the First National Bank here, held up Earl Malan, assistant cashier, and two girl clerks and escaped in the auto with between $30,000 and $40,000. A number of shots were fired by the bandits as they sped out of town after the robbery, and the whole town was thrown into confusion. As far as could be learned, no one was hit. "The bandits placed all the cash in sight into sacks before looting the vault," Assistant Cashler Malan told authorities. DUNLAP GUARDED LOS ANGELES, July 29 — Harry J. Dunlap, notorious So.

GAVE HUSBAND BIG SUM IN FOUR YEARS ROME, July 29 — Countess Picoia, American wife of General Pierre Roger Picoia, head of the Italian air service, claimed that her husband benefited to the extent of $21,700 in four years through her generosity when the couple's mutual suit for separation began here today. Attorney Delftrage, representing Countess Picoia, charged that General Picoia knocked down his wife in a Paris hotel and then left for Rome, taking with him $50,000 worth of jewelry, including a $25,000 pearl necklace which the countess had bought for himself. In his counter action, General Picoia charged his wife with extravagance. It was in reply to this accusation that the countess claimed to have given her husband $21,400 from her own bank account, offering her cheek book and cancelled cheeks to prove her assertions. SAYS SUGAR TRUST BLOCKS INQUIRY WASHINGTON, July 29 — Charges that sugar interests of several members of Kiwians insured us that no such celebration was contemplated, but that all was intended was that the reservists should telegraph their military superiors that they were ready for duty; two members of our committee asked us to refer the report back to it, even though our action had already been sent to the president. This did to be as fair by the facts to all concerned, tho. even had the contention been backed by the facts that there could be no harm done by our communication to the president.

Barhardt, Jersey City pitcher, also pitched an excellent game, allowing only four hits. Letters From People The Plain Dealer. I have noticed with a great deal of interest and concern, the coming of "Greater Movie Season" which is being heralded here in Anaholm. Now, believe me, I am deeply concerned about this coming "Season" if the producers and theatre owners intend to eclipse and go one better some of the pictures now being shown by making them more daring and sensational. I for one want to register a complaint, for my children's sake at least. Look at the list of a few of the "Great Ones" now being advertised. Take your choice. "The Enemy Sex," "Changing Husbands," "So This Is Marriage," "A Woman Who Sinned." "Manhandled," "Sporting Youth," "Plaming Youth" and many others. Such titles are enough to make parents, teachers and church members arise in arms and protest against the showing of such pictures as these to our children here in Anaholm. I for one would welcome a local board of consorship if our local theatre owners insist on showing pictures of this calibre. I cannot permit my children to attend such pictures, can you? Yours for "Better Pictures." MRS. JAZEL B. MILLER. Hew, 'Anomas H.' Walker is attending daily this week the annual meeting in Glendale of the California-Arizona synod of the Presbyterian Church North, which opened last Friday.
