ALIENISTS CALL
NEW PARAN0IAC
Question in Murder Case
Whether Prisoner Is In
sane or Stupid.

Los Angeles. Jan. 3.-Whether Harry
S. New had crossed the line between
dullncss and insanity is the issue on
which he will or will not face punish
ment for the murder OF F'rieda Lesser,
attorneys said tonight.
After two weeks of evidence in
which News life was revealed and
the story Of his birth. his alleged
relationship to Senator New ~-I Inn
story OF Frieda Lesser's death were
told, all these points were laid aside
for study of the defendants mem
tally.
II New is sane and only dull the
jury can convict him if it feels his
gull is proved, attorneys for the State
said.
But If on the night he is charged
with having murdered Frieda Les
ser he had lost his intellect and
crossed the line from stupidity to in
sanity. then he will face the asylum.
We believe New is insane" John
l.. Richardson. one OF his attorneys,
said. IF he is found insane by the
jury we propose to cooperate in
every way with the district attor-
ney in having him confined in a
proper institution"
The defense alienists differed hut
little in their diagnoses. Three ex-
perts described News case as fol-
lows:
DR.. RossmoOr, former major in the
Army Medical Corps. who passed o.
the mental fitness of 10000 soldiers:
"A moron: high-class imbeciIe, with
the mentality of a boy slightly under
L years of age; psychopathic person.
ality unable to adjust himself to the
ordinary stresses of life; a feeble
minded person, physically and sexu-
ally developed. but not mentally, a
dangerous person to be at liberty. He
was insane when Frieda Lesser was
killed"
DIR. Z. B. HOag, University of Cali
fornia lecturer and a witness in the
Warren Billings Preparedness day
bomb case in San Francisco: "A con-
stitutiOnaIly inferior person: a psvcho-
pathlc personality; paranoiac; af-
fiicted with dementia praecox; n dam
Eerous person to be at liberty: is

SAYSCECIL
British Lord Declares u. S.
Has Right to Say How
Far She Will Go.

London, Jan. g. - The proposed
reservations of the United States
Senate to the league of nations
were defended by Lord Robert c.
Gil. former minister of blockade,
and British authority on the league,
in an address at the Leeds Univer-
sity today. Lord Robert described
the league as an iIIiance and not a
super state"
The league OF nations is an aIIi-
ance OF sovereign and independent
States coming together for the COM
mon purpose of preserving peace"
said Lord Robert. Many of the
Misunderstanding that have arisen
In reference to the league OF nations
are rooted in the fact that the peo-
pie have regarded it as a super
state rather than an alliance. The
United States Senate is considering
whether it will attach certain reser-
vations to the ratification of the
league.
"As understand 1t, the reserva-
tions are nothing more than a pub
lie statement of the sense of the
government making the reserva-
lions. which it proposes to attach
to its ratification of the treaty.
None can complain of a govern
men making such q public state
ment if it desires to do so. Whether
in this case it is necessary might
he question, but after all it is a
