FINE EDIFIC DEDICATED SUNDAY Youthful Criminals Hear Sentence With Ever Present Smile EACH BOXER "Home Coming" to Feature First Services in New Building Youthful Criminals Hear Sentence With Ever Present Smile By CARL W. HARRIS (ILS. Stuff Correspondent) CHICAGO, Sept. 10—"Of course I am satisfied with the sentence," said Attorney Clarence Darrow, chief counsel for the defense, whose eloquent plea is credited with blocking the state's demand for a hanging penalty for Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb. "It was the only one considering the youth and mental condition of the boys." Darrow continued. "But they have nothing to look forward to. The life imprisonment sentence will be more of a punishment to Loeb and Leopold than the death penalty would have been." CHICAGO, Sept. 10—Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., and Richard A. Loeb, kidnappers and slayers of 14-year-old Robert Franke, today were sentenced by Judge John R. Cavlery to life imprisonment in the state penitentiary at Jolist—saved from the gallows by their youth. It was the verdict which the defense had hoped for and from which the state has no appeal. And the gay young defendants heard it with a smile, a smile they had worn from the time they first glanced into the courtroom crowded with newspaper men, bailiffs and photographers today. The brief decision which their Judge and jury—Judge Caverly—headed down traced the causes of the case thru all details. He did not revie testimony, dismissing that with the statement that it was a "crime of singular atrocity" executed with event feature of a callousness and cruelty. And in his decision, Judge Caverly urged that no parole be granted. "In the case of such introcious crimes it is entirely within the discretion of the department of public welfare never to admit these defendants to parole. To such a policy the court urges them strictly to adhere. If this course is adhered to the punishment of those defendants will both satisfy the ends of justice and safeguard the interests of society." Nathan Leopold, Sr., Jacob EACH BOXER CONFIDENT HE'LL WIN By DAVIS J. WALSH (L.N.S. Sports Editor) NEW YORK, Sept. 10—The writer never has seen two men more supremely confident of one and the same issue than are Harry Willis and Luis Firpo, principals in tomorrow's merry evening of flirt-ups under the auspices of our Mr. Rickard. With less than 36 hours remaining before the business at hand begins, Firpo this morning looked to the immediate future with vast serenity. He could not conceive of defeat and seemed concerned only with plans for further affairs of the fists hereabouts, immigration officials permitting. Willis was just as confident but a bit more conservative. He seemed willing to admit that there was a vague possibility of losing. The admission, however, was made with the air of a man who observes that randpaper might be used as a bath towel. "This is my first shot at the big money and you can bet I'm not going to muff it." Willis said. "This baby can hit, but I'll be in there hitting too and I think I know more about the game than Firpo. Those rushing, aggressive fellows have always been my meat. I see Firpo says he is going to end the fight in a hurry. I hope he tries to; if he does, I figure I'll give him the surprise of his life. The fight gives me my chance to work up to a bout with Dempsey. That's enough for me." The Senator was in his habitual mood of deep gloom, but it was not because he was concerned with the outcome of the fight. Luis is just naturally lugubrious. Having virtually nothing to say, he said it and then went into silence. Conversing via the handicap of an interpreter, the great man inti- "Home Coming" to Feature First Services in New Building The splendid new edifice of the First Christian church will dedicated Sunday, when "Home Coming Day" with a speaker national prominence will be served. The speaker is Dr. G.L. Sniveley of Lewiston, I.Evangelist and church dedication. The building, one of the largest church structures in Anaheim represents the last word in modern construction, the separate rooms for meetings of the Sunday school classes and church organizations being especially numerous and commodious. A long list of events detail below will feature Sunday's celebration. The First Christian church in Anaheim was organized April 1894, when a small group of met in a tent here. The director chosen were John Coates, E.Kellogg, J.W. Keith, Daniel Riley and Theodore Staley. During the first year of the church life H.E. Ward was the past Succeeding ministers were Messiah Hawkins, Keith, Burr, Rilke Markle, Harlow, Moore, Daniel Swindler, Howe and the presse pastor, Rev. Leon L. Myers. 17 charter members include these seven who have passed away: Messiah Perry, J.W. Keith Wymram Knowlton, L.A.Eva and Irvan Kellogg and Mrs.M.Chesney and Mrs.Knowlton. The charter members still living are Mrs.Nannie Perry, Mrs.Kell Elmer Knowlton, Mrs.Elm Knowlton, Mrs.Eula Dyer, M.Minnie McAchren, Mrs.L.Evavens, Mr.MCheeseven, Mr.aMrs.Daniel S.Rilley, John Coatl and Theodore Staley. The complete program of the day is: At 10:30 a.m., there will be an overflow meeting at the Knights of Pythias temple for children. An interesting program with story, song readings and entertainment. A well-known speaker and entertainer will be present to assist. At 10:30 a.m., Evangelist Sniveley will deliver the "Home Coming Day" sermon. "The Faith that Saves the Church, the School, the State and the Home," at the church. It is anticipated that the church will be taxed to its utmost capacity. At the noon hour the beautifi- And in his decision, Judge Cavarly urged that no parole be granted. "In the case of such intolerable crimes it is entirely within the discretion of the department of public welfare never to admit these defendants to parole. To such a policy the court urges them strictly to adhere. If this course is adhered to the punishment of these defendants will both satisfy the ends of justice and safeguard the interests of society." Nathan Leopold, Sr., Jacob Loeb, an uncle, and Allon Loeb, a brother, were the only members of the defendants' families who were in court when the verdict was read. "The court is moved chiefly by the consideration of the age of the defendants, boys of 18 and 19 years," he said. Age as a factor in the penalty for crimes, he held, is in accordance with the progress of criminal law all over the world and with humanity. "Life imprisonment," the decision reads, "may not at the moment strike the public imagination as foreboding as would death by hanging, but to the offenders, particularly of the type they are, the prolonged suffering of years of confinement may well be the severest form of retribution and explication." He then pronounced sentence, his words almost lost in the confusion of the courtroom. Thruout the reading, the young slayers listened with rapt attention, but without exhibiting the slightest concern. If they feared their lives would be forfeited, they did not show it, and when the life imprisonment verdict was read, they gave no outward sign of relief. They were enticed the was still died out. "Super solves." Almost nounce spread in the criminal was no. The sentence fended against (Correct) Marvattractive boxes. New California Dates, packages or 10-pound 28 Riverside. Firpo says he is going to end the fight in a hurry. I hope he tries to; if he does, I figure I'll give him the surprise of his life. The fight gives me my chance to work up to a bout with Dempsey. That's enough for me." The Senior was in his habitual mood of deep gloom, but it was not because he was concerned with the outcome of the fight. Luis is just naturally lugubrious. Having virtually nothing to say, he said it and then went into silence. Conversing via the handicap of an interpreter, the great man intimated that Willis was just an incident in his crowded gay young life and that he had weightier matters upon which he wished to concentrate. Asked if he expected to win, he replied simply: "Of course. I wouldn't be fighting this man if I didn't expect to beat him." Firpo apparently thinks that the Dempsey knockout was a mistake of some kind, but whether he assumes the blame for himself or places it upon his handlers, he declined to state. The only mistake the writer saw made that particular evening was that Firpo persisted in leading with his chin. He was like the face on the barroom floor; he couldn't get it off. The betting odds in Wall Street, however, continued to say that Firpo is right as far as the Willis matter is concerned. They rested today at 6 to 5 on the caveman in spite of the fact that Broadway sharpshooters think highly of Willis and have made him a slight favorite.
