The law had no application to him." Marshall likened Leopold's atti- tude toward the law to the Spies . case of about thirty-five years ago l when seven Anarchists set of! a , huge bomb on the west side here, killing several people. Two of the conspirators were hanged. He point- ed out that the two men had sub- as Leopold. Marshall then dwelt at great length on*Leopold's phil- osophy and the philosophy of the Anarchists. pointing out a similarity of thought and reasoning. After reading more precedents of criminal cases involving Anarchisto' views and views similar to those of Leopold. Marshall said: "Leopold has gone further than merely opinion; he committed a. crime. The punishment should be meted out for the overt act—Aha crime itself itself-and not to: his opinions." Marshall then developed the State contention that the ransom was the prime motive in the kidnapping and killing. Marshall pointed out that the youths had written a , "form letter" demanding ransom. This letter, Marshall said. was to be mailed when needed. whenever they had picked out their victim. “They had to kill to carry out the ransom program." Marshall de- clared. "They were known by young Franks and they knew that he would expose them if he escaped." Youth must not be considered in mitigation of punishment under the law, Marshall said. and he cited nu- merous precedents to show that the full penalty of the law has been meted out in many cases of boys under the age of twenty-one. "The defense has asked for miti- gation of punishment on the :grounds of near mental disease. .but nowhere does the evidence show this condition", Marshall said. , MrLMarshall ridiculed the defense attempt to show mitigation of pun- ishment by the testimony of mental experts. "No philosophy is an excuse for crime." was his text on that point. and lrc worked it out by drawing parallels between Leopold's and Loeb’s belief in their own powers and the philosophies of Anarchists.

Policeman Charles J. Balkle was sent to investigate a tip that a man was strolling about on roofs near Washington Market and , finally found Levy oaths roof of’No. 12 Warren Street. Levy surrendered at the skin 1 the policeman’s revolVer and handed over a tape wound in- strument police said might; be used as a jimmy a blackjack, or a window smasher. "What is your name ?" asked Ser- geant Wendell when the prisoner was arraigned before him at the station. "Samuel Levy." "Occupation ?" The prisoner drew from his pocket a. badge inscribed.'.'Deputy Sheriff of the New Haven Police Depart- ment." "Never heard of such anoffice." commented Sergt. Wendell. Any- way. it's no good here. What was the idea. of snooping around on the roof?" The prisoner reached into another pocket and drew forth a badge of the "Union Hose Cgmpany. Mcriden. Conn. Again the Sergeant shook his head and began to sit up and take notice when Levy fished around and pro- duced a badge as a. "News reporter, Buffalo. " "Go to it " Wendell then told the prisoner. "Don t mind us. See if you can't find another." He could. It was a badge of the fire department of Interlaken, Pa. Next came a fire department badge of Johnstown, Pa. “Probably about the time of the flood" commented the s ant as he inspected it. "Have they he! a, flood there?” asked the prisoner in surprise as he explored another pocket and pro- duced a badg of the Board of Elec- tions of New rk, following it with one of Lieutenant of the Fire De- partment of Baldwin, L.

Suzanne Leng- len. before the withdrawal of the French girl from the British cham- pionships. and you have the several elements of a neat problem in rank- ing. Just why Miss Ryan. although for several years she has lived in England. should not have played for A‘meriea, as Mrs. Mallory played for her native country in spite of her long residence and her marriage in the United States. is a question. The one disagreeable fact of the Olympic tennis is that the specta- tors were not always generous and Just in their applause. Miss Wills in her doubles matchagainst Miss McKane and Mrs. Coven was the target of jeers and the object of biases and booing: which she did not at all deserve. It is greatly to the credit of so young a player that she never lost. her poise nor'her nerve. and all followers of the game know that her behavior on the courts always is beyond re- proach. , The incident, however. raises a question of large moment and one that will not down. A writer in The London Times brings the matter up in a. long and elaborate article on the general plan of the Olym- pics. Do the games as new con- ducted promote good feeling ahong the contending nations or create bad fecllng. Recently in the finals of the rugby football tournament between France and the United states ‘an American spectator had to be carried to a hospital 'on a stretcher because he had ventured to applaud the team representing his own country. The British writ- er brings forward the unfortunate incident at London in 1908 “when the British competitor, was badly fouled in the final of the comma. whose representatives were involv- e.d " Other instances of ill- feeling are cited. There are sports writer- not a few in this country who have fol- lowed the Olympics closely from their revival at Athens in 1896. who hold with this British observq. that the games by no means have been as conducive to friendly riv- alries as they ought to have been. and thatias'ays and-means should be considered with serious atten- tion the coming four years to bring about the idealistic gains which were in the contemplitlon in.” Baa-oil .Pierre de Coubertin when in m: be melted the modern revival :of ‘1, these ancient sports.- am TEE HOBEIHOOB. .
