Dick Loeb Agrees
With "Kid" McCoy
CHICAGO, Aug. 19—Dickie Loeb agrees with "Kid" McCoy, that "there is nothing in common between us."
Since the "Kid" has been residing in a Los Angeles jail, he and Dickie have been exchanging opinions thru the newspapers.
"So, the "Kid" calls me an upstart and callow youth," Loeb told reporters in the county jail today. "I'm afraid I will have to plead guilty to being a young upstart, because I certainly have not been mellowed by nine matrimonial experiences."

Battle of Alienists Ends and Week of Oratory Starts Tomorrow
CRIMINAL COURT, CHIOAGO.
Aug. 19.—Formal demand for the lives of Nathan P. Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb at the end of a hangman's rope, in return for the life they took when they kidnapped little Robert Franka and beat his head in which a cold chisel, rang, thrud Judge John R. Caverly's court this afternoon, signalising the beginning of the end of the most sensational criminal case in American jurisprudence.
Marshal was still talking when court adjourned at 4:18 p.m. until tomorrow.
The battle of the alienists is ended.
It was concluded shortly before 2 o'clock when Dr. William O. Krohn, fourth of the state's psychiatrist, left the witness stand in Judge Caverly's court with his testimony unshaken that neither Nathan E. Leopold, Jr., nor Richard A. Loeb were mentally diseased when they killed Bobbie Franka.
The closing efforts of the defense attorneys who were trying to save the necks of the young e-legians was devoted to attacking Dr. Krohn's conclusions and "showing him up" as a frequent witness in cases involving mental diseases.
"You frequently testify in industrial cases, in street car cases, in railway cases and in will cases, do you not" auriculously demanded Benjamin Bachrach, attorney for the defense in conclusion.
"Yes," admitted Dr. Krohn, "altho 'frequently' is a relative term."
"You have kept this up for many years?"
"I haven't kept it up, the lawyers have kept calling me," said Krohn.
Immediately after Dr. Krohn stepped down from the stand both sides informed Judge Caverly they had no more witnesses to call and the court instructed the lawyers to begin their final arguments immediately.
A short recess was granted for the lawyers to get ready for the summing up, which is expected to set a new record in American jurisprudence for length at least.
There will be a full week of argument, if the predictions of the lawyers are borne out.
Judge Caverly told the attorneys he will allow three to a side in the summing up and the state immediately announced that its case in finale would be presented by Thomas Marshall and Joseph J. Savage, assistant state's attorneys, and by State's attorney Crowe himself, the latter closing.
For the defense, Walter Bachrach will present the first argument and will be followed by his
I certainly have not been mellowed by nine matrimonial experiences."
FIRPO WINS FIRST FIGHT IN COURT
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Luis Firpo, won the decision in his first battle in a court room today.
The South American heavyweight pugilist, thru his lawyer, Hyman Bushel, obtained a postponement of the hearing of the perjury charges against Firpo until Sept. 20, which is nine days after the gate on which Firpo is scheduled to battle Harry Wills, negro heavyweight, at Boyle's Thirty Acres in Jersey City.
Firpo appeared in the court room of U.S. Commissioner Hitchcock in answer to an affidavit filed by Rev. Wm. S. Chase of New York, charging Firpo with perjury in connection with his recent entry into the United States and asking a warrant for Firpo's arrest.
The commissioner first set the hearing for tomorrow but Bushel objected asking the hearing be set for Sept. 20 on the ground that Firpo's rights would be infringed by setting the date so early.
NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—Luis Firpo, wearing a thoughtful expression, hastened to New York today from his training quarters in Saratoga Springs to fight back at a charge of perjury and a movement to deport him.
The famous fighter from South America will step into court before U.S. Commissioner Hitchcock today, Firpo's lawyer, Hyman Bushel, announced.
Firpo, appraisal that Rev. William Sheape Case, president of the New York Civil League, had contained a warrant for his arrest charging perjury in gaining admission to the United States July 21, took the first train for New York to answer the charges.
A woman, a lark eyed, buxom girl of Spanish origin, is the cause of Firpo's trouble on the eve of his "million dollar fight" with Harry Wills, the negro heavyweight challenger of Jack Dempsey. She is Miss Bianca Lourdes, deported following her arrival in this country on the same ship with the Firpo party.

YOUNG WINS FIRST ROUND IN COURT
HERRIN, Ill., Aug. 19.—Glenn Young, notorious Ku Klan liquor raider, whose attests in Williamson-co precipitate the riot of Feb. 8, won the fifth round in the Herrin city course here today when State's Attorney Delos nolle pressed the first dietment against Young in case where Young, Harry Walk and Carl Neilson were charged with robbery.

There will be a full week of argument, if the predictions of the lawyers are borne out.
Judge Caverly told the attorneys he will allow three to a side in the summing up and the state immediately announced that its case in final would be presented by Thomas Marshall and Joseph P. Savage, assistant state's attorneys, and by State's attorney Crowe binseh, the latter closing.
For the defense, Walter Buchrach will present the first argument and will be followed by his brother, Benjamin Bachrach, with Clarence Darrow, the Leopold-Leeb "ace", being held for the final cratical effort to save the boys from the gallows.
CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—A slashing finish was supplied today for the 18 days' battle that science and scientists have waged in Judge John R. Caverly's courtroom as to whether Nathan F. Loeb, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, 19-year-old college prodigies, were or were not mentally "diseased" when they attempted to commit the world's "perfect crime" by kidnapping and killing little Bobble Franks.
With Dr. William Krohn, the last of the great array of alienists, on the stand, defense attorneys launched a particularly savage cross-examination, designed to break down the doctor's positive statement that Leopold and Loeb are mentally sound.
SKULL AND BONES
FACE LOEB HOME
CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—"If the art don't hang them we wear K. K."
This cryptic warning, propped up against a grewsome skull and bones, was found by the police last night on the veranda of Frank Harris, in Ellis-aye, just across the street from the hand-some home of the family of Richard A. Loeb, now on trial with Nathan Leopold for murdering Bobble Franks.
The skull and bones were not paper mache—they were real. The symbol consisted of a leering human skull, a pair of bleached arm bones and a leg.
Police removed the grisly symbols which they said probably had been secured from some medical college.
FIRPO'S lawyer, Bushel, characterized the action of Rev. Chase as a "publicity stunt".
Commissioner of Immigration Curran took the effort of Canon Chase rather lightly too, asserting the pastor "has his name in the newspapers again."
"How does he know Firpo committed perjury on Ellis Island?" asked Curran.
Firpo, a defiant expression on his stern countenance, rang the door bell of his lawyer's home shortly after 9 o'clock this morning. He was accompanied by his South American friend, Juan Holmes.
Asked concerning Rev. Chase's charge, Firpo glowered, rubbed his hand through his tousled hair, crossed his arms and talked rapidly in Spanish. As interpreted by Holmes, Firpo said:
"I am absolutely innocent. I did not commit perjury. I told the immigration authorities all I knew. I am getting a raw deal."
Firpo, Bushel and Holmes went immidiately to the lawyer's office, after which they were to go to Commissioner Hitchcock's office.
SAYS HE TRIED TO KEEP TWO HOUSES
The mere fact that Jesus Ock is now living with another woman didn't deter him from trying to maintain two households, he testified in justice court at San Ana when Justice Jack Landon held him to answer to the superior court on failing to provide for his wife and child at Stanton. He admitted that he was living with another woman at San Diego when he was arrested and declared that if the officers had let him alone he would have gone along alright.

FOR 28 years Riverside-co has kept faith with Orange-co in alternating on the state senatorship. Kline clubs are springing up all over Orange-co in protest to the move by Tom Talbert and few of the old machine politicians to put Orange-co in the position of violating the compact.
SHORTTRIDGE ADDRESSES SHRINERS
About 300 shriners, many of them from Anaheim, last night attended the steak bake of the Orange-co Shine club at Orange-co park. The steaks were furnished by William E. Bush, Los Angeles, whose home is at Covina, and carne catees were furnished by the Anaheim Beef Co.

Committeemen Deny they Were Consulted on Talbert Candidacy
“Reports from over the district clearly prove that the high-handled attempt to swipe a senator out of turn was hatched in the fertile brains of the ‘little group’ in Orange-co headed by Tom Talbert,” says a statement issued today by the Kline-for-Senate club.
“No more crushing argument is needed to leave at home a member of the party who so disregards its compact and the central committee which composes the party organization.”
“The Kline club has received letters from a number of Republican county central committeemen. All deny they were consulted in the move to put Orange-co in the position of violating a 28-year agreement with Riverside-co to alternate on the state senatorship. Among the letters are the following:
“Hemet, Calif., Aug. 14, 1924.
‘My George M. Varnum et al.’
Anaheim, Calif.’
Dear Sir: Your letter addressed to Rep. county central committeemen and other Republicans received and are heartily in sympathy with the sentiments you express. We feel that the right thinking Republicans of Orange-co will stand by the agreement and thereby promote the good feeling and harmony that has heretofore existed between the Republics of this district. This is the first time I have been consulted in regard to the matter and I know of no others of our central committee who have been consulted. We hope Orange-co has enough Republicans like yourselves who believe in doing the right thing regardless of what they might be able to put over by reason of greater numbers.
“Hoping that the party will regard honor and the chance for cooperation with the rest of the district as of greater value than to try nominate one from your county in opposition to the previous understanding. I am, yours sincerely, J.A. McBURNEY, member county central committee.”
“Niland, Calif., Aug. 15, 1924.

Anahiem, Calif.’
Dear Sir: Your letter of Aug. 14 received and will state the Republican central committee of Imperial-co hasn’t met for two years to my knowledge and I don’t believe it knows anything about the matter you have written me about; at least, I do not. Hoping this is information you desire, yours most respectfully, CHAS. NOFFSINGER, Republican central committeeman for Imperial-co.”

TOKIO, Aug. 19—Saghaillon oil concessions proved the rock on which Russo-Japanese negotiations have broken up for the fourth time.
With envoyes Yoshisawa and Karahan deadlocked on this issue an early breakup of the Pemking conference is expected here.
See Dr. Neth, 110 N. Rush—Chiropractic and Electric Treatments.

Hoping this is the information you desire, yours most respectfully, CHAS. NOFFSINGER, Republican central committeeman for Imperial-co."
Atty. P. W. Sweeney of Perris writes that the central committee has the right to enter into agreement and should keep the agreement. He continues that the central committee had nothing to do with the nomination of either candidate. It thus clearly appears that Talbert and the group associated with him are alone guilty of the violation of the compact between the counties."
Mr. Fred Wasson, of Placentia, in giving a review of local political conditions as they appear to him, said today:
"Not only the best interests of Orange co but plain political integrity demand that Orange co place its stamp of approval on the candidacy of Chester M. Kline for the state senate. Mr. Kline commands the unwavering support of every moral element and his record is 100 per cent on every moral issue. It is no wonder that Kline clubs are being organized in so many places thus voicing the resentment at the effort to make Orange co betray her pledge to Riverside co to take turns at the senatorship—a pledge that Riverside kept at the last election and should be kept now by Orange in this one.
If Allen should be elected—and it seems assured—he would be wholly untrammeled by any election combinations or commitments. It would be indeed refreshing to have a man in the assembly who would make up his mind on important matters with all the data before him at the time, rather than to have it scheduled beforehand as a part of a general scheme."—FRED WASSON.

"Vermont is keeping cool with Coolidge." Chilly weather that demands coats and heavy clothing made indoors more attractive than is usual on a vacation.
The presidential party remained close to the old-fashioned parlor, with its stove and stuffed furniture. Secret service agents shivered outside. The little knots of curious tourists that gathered from time to time thinned out considerably after waiting in the chill out of doors.
A touch of sentiment was injected into the day's activities. It was when Mrs. Coolidge appeared outside for a few moments and on the end of a fence mounted a child's cardboard windmill.
It was explained that the toy was made by Calvin Coolidge, Jr., now lying buried just across the road. He made it during his vacation here last year. Shortly before he died he asked his mother to put it back into place should she return to Plymouth before he did.

Alienists Say They Can't Believe He Has Gone Insane Suddenly
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19—"Kid" McCoy is not insane, two of the alienists employed by District Attorney Asa Keyes to examine the former ring idol, declared here today after rushing to the city jail, where McCoy was reported to have suffered a "mental breakdown."
Two of the experts, Dr. Paul Bowers and Dr. Victor Parkin, said McCoy's queer actions in his cell earlier in the day were "more like simulation than genuine insanity."
"We cannot believe McCoy has suddenly gone insane," they said.
Dr. Louis Weber, the third alienist, reserved judgment, asserting McCoy's hallucination that Mrs. Teresa Mors, for whose murder he is held, had visited him in his cell, seemed "real."
The three alienists who Saturday pronounced McCoy sane, said further examination would determine if he was "faking" or actually had lost his mind.
Jailers informed the alienists prior to their hurried observation of the former pugilist, that McCoy has acted "like a caged animal," yelling and beating the bars and terrorizing other prisoners.
"McCoy's trick comes too late," declared District Attorney Keyes, who said he expected the county grand jury to return a first degree murder indictment against McCoy before night.
"That dog Mors came in here last night but I kept him out with these," explained McCoy to Assistant Captain of eDetectives Herman Cline, pointing at long strips of paper interwoven between the bars of his cell.
Cardboard boxes fashioned by McCoy were explained by him as house traps and boxes to "catch the rain," police said.
LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19—As Dist. Atty Asa Keyes went before the county grand jury here today asking an indictment against "Kid McCoy" for the murder of Mrs. Teresa Mors, McCoy went on a rampage in the city jail.
The former ring idol, pronounced sane by alienists yesterday, today created a riot at the jail and according to jailers and police detectives, acted like a demeaned person.
He violently shook the bars of his cell and refused to answer questions as to what he was doing.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.—The department of justice today filed an appeal in the U.S. supreme court from the decision of the district court in Ohio, which held that a special senate committee did not have authority to inquire into the affairs of M.

He violently shook the bars of his cell and refused to answer questions as to what he was doing. Later he told officers who hurried to the jail that he had been put in a padded cell because they were afraid he would win the middleweight championship of the world.
Bits of paper in strange forms were found on the floor of McCoy's cell and when they were taken from him the former guillotist and begged for their return, police said.
McCoy's strange actions were first noticed by the jailers; it was learned shortly after midnight when he woke the entire jail palling and shouting and beating on the bars. He was quieted for a time but later started the noise again and continued it despite the efforts of the jailers.
McCoy will be taken to the receiving hospital for an examination and put under restraint if he becomes more violent, the police stated.

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 19.—The Los Angeles-co grand jury today launched its investigation of the mystery death of Mrs. Teresa Mors, whose body, stabbed and bruised and with a bullet thru the temple, was found last Wednesday in the Nottingham Apts.
An indictment charging Norman Selby (Kid McCoy) with first-degree murder, as demanded by District Attorney Asa Keyes, was expected to be returned during the day.
Keyes appeared before the grand jury armed with a report of alienists showing McCoy to be sane and 30 witnesses were under subpoena to appear before the body.
