MENTAL ILLNESS
" WAS SHAMMED
SAYS CROWE
Prosecutor T r i e s to
Show That Slayers
Tricked Experts. ——
Assails Gland Theory
CHICAGO, Aug 12.—A gruelling
croas examination of, Dr. Harold S.
Hurlbert, defence alienist, was con-
duytcd by State's Attorney Robert
E. Crowe hero in an effort to show
that Nathan Leopold, Jr., and
Richard Loeb were shammlng the
"mental illness" under which Dr.
Ilurlbert testified they were suffer-
ing on the day they killed Robert
Franks.
Under a. hot cross-tire of hues-
tlons, Dr. Hurlbert insisted he had
not been deluded by the two stu-
dents. They could not have cheat-
ed him if they had wanted to do
so, he said, because he was brighter
than they were.
Mr. Crows sought to impeach the
testimony of Dr. Hurlbert by bring-
ing out that the mental pathologist
had been "too busy" to make home
of his numerous tests ,and had re-
lied on the words of others. The
,wilness testified that he never had
in "many" murder cases made such
extensive examinations and tests
as in the present one.
Gland Theory Attacked
The State also attacked the the—
ory of functional disorders of the
endocrine or ductless glands set up
Saturday by the defence in its plea.
for mitigation of, punishment.
The idea. of functional disorders
of the endocrine glands was built up
by direct testimony of Dr. I—lulbert
who used X-ray pictures to illus-
trate what. he termed various gland-
ular disorders, noting the thyroid.
pineal, pituitary and ardenals.
State's Attorney Crowe, upon
cross-examination. asked Dr. l-Iul-
bert for information as to the func-
tion of the pineal gland, and, told it
regulated the balance of the other
endocrine glands. asked if it were
not a. fact that medical men as a
group know practically nothing of
the function of the pineal gland.
and that. there was some question of
it being called a gland at. all. He
received an mirmaiive reply.
Allan Loch and Foreman Leopold.
brothers respectively of Richard
Loeb and Nathan F. Leopold, Jr.,
the kidnappers-murderers of young
Robert Franks. "were among the
three or four lay witnesses the de-
fence had in reserve to offer after
completion of testimony by Dr. Hul-
bert, fourth and last of the defence' s
allentsts.
Huge crowds swarmed about the
Criminal Courts building here.
Mentally III at Crime.
Taking the stand as the first wit-
ness 'here, Dr. Hurlbert testified, un-
der questioning by Walter Bachrach
of the defence. that on the day Bob-
by Franks was kidnaped and mur-
dered. Nathan Leopold was “mental-
ly diseased": that “due to his consti-
tution and habit of life, because he
was intellectually 'over-developed.
his body was not well balanced nor
in a. healthy state. and his judgment
immature. I conclude he was men-
tally diseased. "
“His emotions were so slight in
relation to the ordinary things of
life that in relation to judgment
they permitted him to act in an ab-
normal way.
"These conditions had a great ef-
fect in causing the homicide. He
Was susceptible to suggestions of
anything. proper or otherwise, from
associates. It caused him to co-op-
crate with his associate. The men-
tal disease alone would not have
caused him to carry out the homi-
cide. It caused him to igsou the
ordinary restraint that ordinary in-
dividuals impose on themselves be-
cause of duty to society. It caused
him to justify his own actionl 80
that he was not critical of them.
"Without this mental diseased
condition he could not have commit-
ted the homicide.

STAMFORD, Aug.
Fire, believed to have been caused
by burnt-out telephone wires cross-

es with faulty insulation. yesterday
afternoon gutted the maln building
on the estate of George B. Lester on
River Bank Road and spread to an
adjoining structure. doing between
$15, 000 and $20, 000 damage. Fire-
men arrived in time to prevent the
destruction of the smaller buildlhg,
which is built on in L- fashion to the
main structure. The house was un-
occupied.
A telephone alarm was turned in
at 1: 30 o'clock by a neighbor. fol-
lowing the discovery of the fire by
Patrick J. O'Neil, caretaker of the
estate. Valuable time was lost in reg-
istering the alarm because of the
neighboring telephones disabled by
the severe electrical and wind storm
Saturday. The nearest telephone was
located about a quarter of a mile
from the burning building. Communi
cation was attempted by the Stain.

Miaus River, from which 600 feet
of hose were laid to the burning
building. Flames playing about the
ruins of the larger building were
subdued and the blaze was prevented
from damaging the addition to any
great extent after a two hour battle.
The damage sustained by the small-
er structure was caused mostly by
water. The remains of the house and
the entire smaller structure were
wet down to prevent flames breaking
out again.
The first indications of the fire
were seen by the caretaker, who no-
ticed smoke pouring from a. cellar
window, and then from windows on
the first floor. He was working on
the estate at the time.
The house was the summer, resi-
dence of Mr. Lester. It had remain-
ed unoccupied during the summer.
Mr. Lester. it is said, visited his es-
tate recently and was planning to
open the house and move in with his
family for the remainder of the sum

almost thirteen miles to make the

Senator "Walsh said the "head and
front" of Mr. Davis' "offending" had
been nothing more or less than that
since retiring to private life. He
had been employed professionally
by "gigantic business interests"
whose policy had aroused “quite gen-

"It is not advanced." he said “that

“It is an unjustifiable inference

rendered them service. They aid

discovered you until your fame as a

Senator Walsh gave Mr. Davis, as
