King g Is Moron
Alienists Say:
Life Is Traced
Theft Of Cheese and Crackers
Crime for Which He Was
Conyicted-Sa Brother
Is Wealthy.

Lincoln, June 3.-(Special)-
James B. King, negro convict,
charged with the murder of Robert
L. Taylor, penitentiary guard, has
been the victim of irresistible NOR
bid impulses" since his youth, ac-
cording to statements of alienists,
called to the witness stand here to-
day by attorneys defending King.
King is a moron, type OF the
criminally insane who grow to the
stature of man, often more than the
ordinary in physical strength, who
have the mind of a child of IL or IS
and who believe that the world is
against them," an alieuist said.
Their morbidness grows and their
impulses for viciousness increase
with age"
Kings lie was traced by the de-
ense. The claim was made that for
years he had contemplated and at
tempted suicide and murder.
Would proper treatment help
him." was the question asked alien
lists time and again by the defense.
The court sustained objections to
the question and it was never an
swered.
The defense does not deny that
King killed Taylor, but has stated
that he should be put in an institu-
ton and cured by the society, which,
originally. the defense claims, was
the cause OF his present state Of
mind.
Theft of crackers and cheese from
a store at Ogallala, Neb., caused
Kings conviction and sentence to
the state penitentiary on burglary
charge, according to testimony
brought out today.
A new story was told today as to
the source of the extra money being
used in Kings defense today. 1t is
to the effect that King has a we'll
to-do brother, who employed Harry
Reese to defend him and keep him
from the electric chair. The other
story is that those opposed to capital
punishment have united and raised a
fund in an endcavor to keep Nc
braska from taking the life OF an
other man in the electric chair.

Develops in House on
Question of National
Armaments.
Democrats Raise Outcry

Chicago Tribune Omaha Rec Iensed Wire.
Washington, June S.--The aues-
ton OF the reduction OF national
armement for war developed today
into a three-cornered contest.
The senate wants the president to
negotiate an agreement with Great
Britain and Japan on the reduction
of navy building. The republican
and democratic leadership in the
house took stand today for the ex-
tension of the proposal TO the re-
duction of military as we'll as naval
armament by all the great powers.
President Harding. while favoring
the movement, is opposed to any
legislation on the subjecs at this
time, preferring free hand to ham
die the matter in the manner most
conducive to the advantage of the
United States in settling certain
pending International controversies,
notably with Japan.
In Difference to the wishes of the
president, the house excluded the
disarmament amendment from the
naval appropriation bill, When the
matter was pressed in the senate the
president yielded and the Borab
amendment was included.
Democrats Start Fight.
When the bill came back to the
house the democrats raised an out
cry over the position OF GOODNESS to
the proposition in which the house
had been placed, Acting Minority
Leader Garrett moved that the
house conferees be instructed to ac-
cept the Borah amendment broad
ened to include all powers on naval
and land disarmament.
Republican Leader Mondel1 op-
posed any instructions to the con-
fcrees, but agreed that the Borah
amendment should be expanded to
include land disarmament and all
powers OH naval disarmament and
was immediately accused of trying
to kill the whole scheme by mixing
it impracticable if not to bring about
the elimination of the amendment
from the bill altogether as the presi-
dent desires. Replying to Represent
ative Garner of Texas, who thought
the Borah amendment better than
none at all Mr.. Mondell said:
II do not think the gentlemen
from Texas himseM is for passing
upon the question of recommending
action to the president on the ques-
ton of disarmament in the narrow
and restricted way that the Boran
amendment does. If we are to act
upon that matter we should act upon
it. not in concert with one or two
nations that may arrogate to them
selves. supremacy in the world, but
after discussion with all the nations
OF the world interested in those mat
ters, and furthermore. when we con-s
slider the question of disarmament
we should consider the ques-
ton of disarmament on land
as we'll as on sea. and when
we consider the question of naval

the shipping board for settlement
of the dispute on wages and work
ing conditions have been broken off,
w. S. Brown. president of the Ma
rine Engineers Beneficial association,

Brown said, was due to the refusal
of the ship owners and the shipping
board to include clause providing
for the reinstatement Of striking en-
gineers.

that would force our men to work

It turned cold that night. A little
before noon of the next day, By Heck
stepped into the Moreland Coal COM
| pany's Office.
Dale looked YEARLY up from his lit
tered desk.
81 am very much obliged to you for
shooting Adam Ball, By"
"It's hi, Bill, amt itT

Heck leaned over and rested his
kpotty hands OH the muzzle of the in
evitable rifle.
"Whatever 1t is you're a-grievjn'
about, O. course. Babe Littleford she
went back to yore home town this
mornn'. Bill. Sort O. quare, thought,
at you never went with her over to

she never rid over on the little ingyne

wouldn't grieve about it. 'Smatter?
Babe?"
Dale rose and glared at BY Heck.
I'm going to have the truth, By;
now get that. Did you, or did you not,
kill Adam Ball to save me?"
BY Heck realized that he would have
to be very cunning If he evaded the
question now. Bill Dale, his god,
would not be put off longer.
So BY Heck answered: II wisht ]
may drap dead this minute and turn
into a cross-eyed mink with green
tail and pink eyes; | wisht the devil
may take me and spend ten thousand
etarnities a-sticking' red-hot, pepper
coated pitchforks in me and not let
me have any tobacker; wisht may
be struck blind and def and dumb
and paralyzed and ha' my tongue cut
out and my ears and toe-nails tore
off-ef killed Adam Ball to save you
or anybody else"
And then, having answered, he fav-
ored Dale with an odd look, took up
his rifle and strobe out of the office
humm'ng:
when die. don't bury rne deep
Put no tombstone at my head and feet
Put a bears jawbone in my right
hand"
But he's the biggest liar in the
state" muttered Dale, turning back
to his desk.
He closed his desk, and he didn't

judge and the jury frowned and smiled
In the same instant. Dale went for
ward and took his place. He pleaded
"Not Guilty" A little later the state
introduced its evidence and rested.
The counsel for the defense, patri-
clan and soldier-like immaculate from
his toes to the crown Of his head
went eagerly to his feet. He had fully
prepared himself, and he delivered his
argument with an eloquent and force
full swing. 1t was plain that the jury
was favorably impressed by the words
of this man who never accepted case
unless he was absolutely sure that his
client was in the right.
Major Bradley hinged his argument
on the mysterious third shot. If Dale's
bullet had killed Adam Ball, would
not Adam Ball have been shot squarely
or at least nearly squarely from the
front? AS 1t was, the Goliath had been
shot straight through the temples!
That third shot had been fred by some
