SLAYER'S SWEETIE LOOKS IN ON TRIAL CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—Classmates of Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb who knew them when they were debonaire young students long before they conceived and executed the plot to commit a "perfect crime" by murdering little Bobbie Franka, as an intellectual experiment, passed thru the witness box by Judge Caverly's courtroom today and testified to many so-called oddities and eccentricities of the two young slayers. They and childhood sweetheart of Loeb were put on by the defense to back up and substantiate the conclusions drawn by the allenists that both Leopold and Loeb are abnormal, mentally diseased and of paranoid personalities. Everything from the fact that Dickie Loeb "ran upstairs two steps at a time," to the fact that "Babe" Leopold was considered by his college mates as an individual hedonist" was put into the records by the succession of witnesses. When court adjourned at 4 p.m. until tomorrow, the defense had hardly made a dent in the number of these "lay" witnesses it plans to call before the extent of the punishment of Leopold and Loeb is put up to Judge Caverly for decision. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 7.—A breath of romance came into Judge John K. Cavetly's sombre old court room today to lighten the cordiness of the trial of Nathan F. Leopold Jr., and Richard A. Loeb for the murder of little Robert Franka. It came in the person of Miss Lorraine Nathan, a pretty 18 year old girl who was "Diskie's" girl before he conceived and executed the plan of committing the "perfect crime" by the kidnapping and laying of the Franka boy. A material effort to shorten the trial of Nathan F. Leopold Jr. "Stony" Judge Held To Original Bond Gus Terwillinger of Placentia was given a preliminary hearing this morning before Judge Hart in Fullerton on the charge of driving a car while intoxicated and was held to answer to the Superior Court in Santa Ana on a ball of $500. Two bottles of wine were on exhibition in the courtroom as part evidence in the case. Unavailing efforts were made by the attorney for the defense to have the abil reduced to $100. By JOHN T. LEWING, JR. (WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.)—The inexorable hand of fat which has elevated four of the last clever vice presidents to the highest of face in the land, may, by a new twist, make a president of Charles W. Bryan, Charles G. Dawes, or Burton K. Wheeler, the major vice presidential candidates. Death has put into the White House more than 36 per cent of the vice presidents in the last two generations, none of whom were outstanding national figures when selected. This year the advent of a third major party into the political field, with the possibility Aug. 7 — A breath of romance came into Judge John K. Cavetty's sombre old court room today to lighten the cordiness of the trial of Nathan F. Leopold Jr., and Richard A. Loeb for the murder of little Robert Franka. It came in the person of Miss Lorraine Nathan, a pretty 18 year old girl who was "Diskie's" girl before he conceived and executed the plan of committing the "perfect crime" by the kidnapping and laying of the Franka boy. A material effort to shorten the trial of Nathan F. Leopold Jr., and Richard A. Loeb for the killing of 14 year-old Bobbie Franka was made today by the attorneys on both sides. Clarence Darrow, chief of the defense counsel, offered to dispense with more than a score of witnesses, summoned from among the young slayers' friends and relatives, if State's Attorney Crowe would agree to similarly dispense with some of the state's long list of witnesses. After weighing the proposition behind closed doors for half an hour, Crowe turned it down and announced that the trial of the young slayers would go on along the lines originally laid down. Within a few minutes after Crowe rejected the defense's offer, counsel for the two boys put on the stand the first of a long list of these witnesses to testify to the peculiarities and eccentricities that marked the college careers of Loeb and Leopold.

After looking for the cats every where, the girls came back to the front of the house and sat down by the empty doll carriage, scolding and telling each other what they would do when they laid hands on those two cats again. Presently one of the little girls threw herself back on the grass her head on her hands, too angry to talk any more. Lo and behold! What did she see but those two cats she had been talking about sitting quietly side by side on a limb over her head looking down on her. Yes, and from the expression on their faces she knew they were laughing at her! "Nellie, Nellie, look up in the tree over your head and see what you will see!" "Oh, you naughty, miserable cats! Come right straight down out of that tree this minute!" "Oh, yes, we will be right down when we get good and ready," meowed Button. "Better wait until you DO get hold of us before you tell what you will do to us," meowed back Button. "Let us throw green apples up at them and make them come down," suggested Kittle. "All right. Let's do!" "They make me laugh," said Button. "Neither one of them could hit the side of a barn even if they aimed at it. To try to hit us up here is perfectly ridiculous." "I bet they they themselves," meowed Bella. "Here they come with their aprons full of apples." The girls began to throw the apples up in the tree but they could not even throw high enough to hit the limb on which the cats sat. And presently an apple came down and hit Kittle on the head. "There! Didn't I tell-you they would hit themselves?" said Bella. Just then Nellie let out a cry and the cats laughed so they nearly fell off the limb; for Kittle in her endeavor to throw high enough had whirled half way around, and To Original Bond Gus Terwillinger of Placeia was given a preliminary hearing this morning before Judge Hartin in Fullerton on the charge of driving a car while intoxicated and was held to answer to the Superior Court in Santa Ana on a ball of $500.

THE PRESIDENTS OF THE UNITED STATES are not as long lived as they used to be. The average age at death of the first ten Presidents: Washington to Tyler—was 75 years, while the average age at death of the last ten Presidents—Grant to Harding, exclusive to Taft who is still living—was only 62 years. The ages of the first ten Presidents at their respective deaths were: Washington, 67; John Adams, 91; Thomas Jefferson, 83; James Madison, 85; James Monroe, 73; John Quincy Adams, 81; Andrew Jackson, 78; Martin Van Buren, 80; William H. Harrison 68; and John Tyler, 72. The ages of the last ten (excluding Taft) were: Grant, 63; Rutherford B. Hayes, 71; James A. Garfield, 50; Chester A. Arthur What did she see but those two cats she had been talking about sitting quietly side by side on a limb over her head looking down on her.

Just then Nellie let out a cry and the cats laughed so they nearly fell off the limb, for Kittie in her endeavor to throw high enough had whirled half way around, and as she turned the apple flew out of her hand before she was ready and it hit Nellie squarely in the back. Let's not try to hit them any more," proposed Nellie wisely. (But tomorrow they think up a new way to get the cats down.) Grant to Harding, exclusive to Taft who is still living—was on 62 years. The ages of the first ten Presidents at their respective deaths were: Washigpton 67; John Adams 91; Thomas Jefferson 83; James Madison 85; James Monroe 73; John Quincy Adams 81; Andrew Jackson 78; Martin Van Buren 80; William H. Harrison 68; and John Tyler 72. The ages of the last ten (excluding Taft) were: Grant 63; Rutherford B. Hayes 71; James A. Garfield 50; Chester A. Arthur 66; Grover Cleveland 71; Benjamin Harrison 68; William McKinley 61; Woodrow Wilson 67. A President nowadays may have a life expectancy of only 62 years, which is 16 years less than he would have had a century ago. This while the life-span of the average citizen, due to better personal hygiene, improved public sanitation and the change in the cultural attitude toward old age has increased.
