ALIENISTS OF STATE ARE UNSHAKEN One of Bitterest Clashs of Long Murder Trial Occurs Today CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO Aug. 14—The tension that h marked the medico-legal battin the trial of Nathan F. LeopoJr., and Richard Loeb, for t killing of little Bobbie Frank suddenly snapped this afternoon Dist. Atty. Keyes Says He Has Enough to Convict Selby LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14—"Kid" McCoy, motion picture eva-ron and former pugilistic chandon, must stand trial for the murder of the woman he says he loved. Announcement that McCoy will be indicted Tuesday for the murder of Mrs. Theresa Mors, weal-ty antique dealer, was made today by District Attorney Keyes. Faced by the failure to open McCoy's sealed lips, and balked by McCoy's sister, Mrs. Jennie Thomas, to make her repeat the alleged confession she told the police her brother made. Keyes moved swiftly to bring the accused man to trial. Announcement of the indictment was met by attorneys for McCoy, who accompanied the former pristefighter to Keyes' office and there told him to refuse to talk, by declaring they will interpose an insanity defense. "McCoy will be indicted for the murder of Mrs. Mors," said Keyes. "We have enough evidence to convict him of the crime now. His lawyers, apparently fearful of the consequences of a grilling have sealed his lips." "We will not permit McCoy to talk," said his attorneys. "An insanity defense will be interposed in his behalf regardless of what charge he is tried on. My friends have been worried about him for two weeks, and were planning to have him confined on an insanity complaint when this happened." Albert E. Mors, the dead wo-man's divorced husband, was the first witness questioned by Keyes when the district attorney's investigation of the killing of Mrs. Mors was started. Mors appeared at the district attorney's office with his lawyer and answered all questions freely. "Mors knows nothing of the murder of his wife." Keyes said. "There is no reason why he should be held in connection with the investigation. He told me he believed McCoy had killed Mrs. Mors." Mrs. Jennie Thomas, McCoy's sister, to whom McCoy is said to have confessed he murdered Mrs. Mors, failed to keep an agreement to appear at the district attorney's office for questioning. Early in the day she had gone to the office, but later she disappeared. Keyes said he would take Mrs. Thomas and her attorney directly before the grand jury. George Varnum, president of the "Kline for Senate Clubs" of Orange-co., is highly elated at the response to the call for enrollment. The preliminary membership list today contained over 500 names and more continually coming in. It is quite evident that Orange-co. intends to "keep faith with riverside, because Riverside kept faith with Orange," the slogan of the club, says Varnum. The roster heading announces that it is "A club to promote Political Good Faith" and goes on to say that the members "believe that above political and personal ambitions should stand political morality." "He never, the enthusiasm for Kline is due not alone to the right of Riverside to have her agreed 'turn' for the senatorship this year," says Varnum. "But far more because of his long legislative experience of eight years in the assembly, his absolute honor and integrity, his tested and proven high ideals of law enforcement and his unbroken adherence to the moral side of every moral issue." The club roster is too long to print but contains the names of prominent citizens from every city and town in the county. Varnum expressed belief that Kline will carry Orange-co., which added to the almost unanimous vote he is sure to have in Riverside and Imperial-co., will assure his return to Sacramento by a record vote. Because of the interest that has been aroused here in the Kline campaign it was declared probably today that the Riverside candidate would be given an opportunity to address a mass meeting here soon. Councilman Denn Hasson today expressed keen regret that Orange-co. had been put in the embarrassing situation of attempt-burdened boy has signified his sincere intent to take up prize fighting as a career, but dad says no. One of Bitterest Clashes of Long Murder Trial Occurs Today CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO Aug. 14—The tension that harked the medico-legal battle in the trial of Nathan F. Leopold Jr., and Richard Loeb, for the killing of little Bobbie Frank suddenly snapped this afternoon and brot the opposing attorney face to face, brandishing the fists in each other's faces. The flare-up came during the cross examination of Dr. Archbold Church, a distinguished Chicago psychiatrist, and second in the state's allenists to deny that the Franks slayers are mental diseased. Clarence Darrow, chief of the defense counsel, was putting Dr. Church thru an extremely cautious cross examination when the exhibition of temper occurred. He had just confronted Dr. Church with one of his own textbooks, "Nervous and Mental Disease," written jointly by the Chicago allenist and Dr. Frederick Peterson, of New York. The excerpts which Darrow read from this bulky volume gave advice to examiners as to how to go about interrogating and investigating a patient whose mental state was in question. This matter should be approached from the physician's standpoint, the book stated, and pairedicular care devoted to ascertain ing the environment, history hereditary and other facts about the patient. "Did you ever talk to members of the Loob and Leopold families?" demanded Darrow sarcastically. Dr. Church admitted he had not. He said he had not had the opportunity. "Besides," said Church, "I didn't write that. That was written by Peterson." Well, you have read it." No. What? demanded Darrow in mock surprise. "Aren't you a little careless with your name doctor, that you would allow it to go over a book you never read?" Dr. Church explained that this was the last edition and some changes had been made in it from preceding editions. Darrow read more "advice" to examiners of mental patients. "Did you go to these boys in the state's attorney's office as a physician," demanded Darrow. Not as their physician, but as a physician." You went as Mr. Crowe's physician, so you could give evil LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.—I want to see "Kid McCoy hang and I would like to spring the trap. He killed my wife. She couldn't have committed suicide." This was the statement Albert Mora, wealthy former New York manufacturer, who last Thursday divorced Terven Mora, found dead in an apartment here shortly before Norman Selby (Kid McCoy) was captured in a nearby park with a smoking gun, made today as Dist. Atty. Asa Keyes opened his investigation of the woman's death. With Mora at the district attorney's office was Mrs. Jennie Thomas, sister of the accused McCoy, who police say told them her brother had confessed killing Mrs. Mora. That District Attorney Keyes might be prevented from questioning McCoy in an effort to bring from him a confession that he killed the woman he loved, was indicated in announcement of McCoy's lawyers, hastily summoned by the accused man, that the former prize fighter was insane. They said for the past two weeks friends of McCoy have been considering having him arrested on an insanity complaint "for his own protection." McCoy's lawyers stated that if McCoy was formally charged with murder or charged with assault with a deadly weapon for his shooting of Rosa and the Schappa insanity would be his plea. LOS ANGELES, Aug. 14.—Dist. Atty. Asa Keyes today began the investigation of the killing of Mrs. Teresa Mora, wealthy antique dealer, which police assert will result in placing a formal charge (Continued on Page Two) Marcelling. Shingle Robbing by appointment. Phone 25-J. Because of the interest that has been aroused here in the Kline campaign it was declared probably today that the Riverside candidate would be given an opportunity to address a mass meeting here soon. Councilman Denn Hasson today expressed keen regret that Orange-co. had been put in the embarrassing situation of attempting to secure a senator at a term which Riverside is so clearly entitled to. He said: "Chester Kline has been manifestly treated so unfairly in the nominating campaign that the better type of men should rebuke such tactics by giving him heartiest support. He should have in Orange-co. an overwhelming vote in addition to the solid vote of his own county and that of Imperial. "It is gratifying to note the satisfaction created by the prospect of electing W. B Allen assemblyman. He would represent Orange-co. splendidly and his well known independence of thought and action will assure an assemblyman who can be relied on for valent service. I most heartily support his candidacy. Since no one has ever doubted a moment his absolute "dryness" the state will be assured of an unflinching stand on all enforcement questions." There can be nothing but instant selection of Perry Woodward for supervisor for this district. His well proven integrity and undoubted ability to give honest administration to the county government commands itself to good citizen everywhere. "Swing is assured of election by his fearless advocacy of the great questions and careful attention to the needs of his district. I most certainly 'Swing in behind Swing." Like the mayor and counsel a close scrutiny of the line-up of the "wets" who have for so many years dominated Anaheim and years dominated Anaheim and what the lovers of law enforcement should not do. Dr. Church explained that this was the last edition and some changes had been made in it from preceding editions. Darrow read more "advice" to examiners of mental patients. "Did you go to these boys in the state's attorney's office as a physician," demanded Darrow. "Not as their physician, but as a physician." "You went as Mr. Crowe's physician, so you could give evidence to hang these boys." shouted Darrow. "Darrow, you know better than that," replied Church, brandishing his finger at the attorney. Both their voices were high pitched and angry, and both state's attorney Crowe and Judge Caverly broke in with protests. "Well—I shouldn't have said 'could.'" said Darrow. "I'll withdraw that." "You'll withdraw nothing." yelled Crowe, leaping to his feet. "Sit down," ordered Judge Caverly. "Nobody sat down." You'll withdraw nothing." reiterated Crowe. "You got yourself in a hole where the answer is going to hurt you and you want to withdraw it. I demand that the doctor be allowed to reply." Darrow brandished his fist at Crowe. "I don't resort to trickery," he shouted. "No, you don't" jeered the state's attorney. Everybody including Judge Caverly, was trying to talk. Dr. Church was protesting in the witness stand. "Gentlemen, gentlemen" broke in the court. "We will suspend for five minutes." Everybody cooled off in five minutes and the cross examination proceeded in a more dignified plane. CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 14.—Several hours of palmate cross-examination by defense lawyers filled utterly today to break down the opinion of Dr. Hugh T.

Beside him, or in the vernacular of the prize ring—in his corner—stands his aged mother. "He didn't—I know he didn't do it," said the "Kid" McCoy mother today. "Mrs. Mors loved him and he loved her." "Look at this paper. It says some one heard a shot at 2 o'clock in the morning. It couldn't have been him because he was here with me then." Mrs. Selby then related how her son visited her early Wednesday morning. The "Kid," his mother said, did not mention any trouble. She said: "He just put his arms around me and said: 'Dear Mother, how are you?'

Particular danger threatens from the south canal where the water today was continuing to rise steadily. The water in streams flowing thru Tien Tain also has risen to the beams of the bridges. Thousands of extra laborers were working today in an effort to keep open communication between Peking and Tien Tain. Thousands of refugees from the country districts are pouring in on Peking and Tien Tain.
