PRACTICAL JESTER
DOES A LEOPOLD"
ON FRANKS FRIEND

CHICAGO, June 19.-Police guards
hEere removed today from the home
of Irwin H Hartman, millionaire fur
niture dealer, who yesterday received
a special delivery letter demanding
$4,000 under threat of kipnaplng
and injury or death of his SIN, Irwin,
Jr.. ten years old.
The letter, apparently written by
an uneducated person, was signed
The Big Ten" and was character
lied by Chief Of Detectives Michael
Hughes as the work of some fool.
The boy is one OF several rich
mems sons who were selected by
Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard
Loeb, in Jail awaiting trial for the
kidnapping and Staying ot 1S-year-
old Robert Franks, as possible sub
jects for kidnapping.
A short time after the threat was
received, a mans voice repeated the
demand over the telephone and said
further communications would tell
how the money was to be delivered.
The method of the threats followed
closely that employed in making a
similar demand of Robert Franks
family after he had been killed. The
Hartman home is within a block Of
the Franks residence.

TWO SAVANNAH|ANS I
ARE DROWNED As
BATTEAU CAPS|zES

SAVANNAH, Ga, June 1S.-The
body of Miss Marjorie Jones, who
was drowned when batteau cap
sized in Warsaw sound shortly after
last midnight, was found this after
noon in the Wilmington river, sew
eral miles from the scene of the
accident. The body of Manuel Cou-
couIas, also believed to have been
drowned, has not been recovered.
Boats are searching for the body.
Last night a party, composed of
six couples, went for a moonlight
ride on prawn boat of the fleet of
Maggioni, the vessel being in charge
of Charles C'Pat') Griffin and John
Kelly.
Following a ride the party arrived
in Warsaw Sound off the north end
of Warsaw, about eighteen miles
from Thunderbolt, from where the
party embarked. 1t was suggested
that the party go on Warsaw Beach
to look for turtle eggs. The first
batteau load landed Misses Leo Love,
Louise Boushell, : Myrtle Anderson
and John Kelly and Clifford Goette
on the beach. The remaining seven
people got into the second batteau.
They were Miss Jones, MIR. Coucou-
las, Miss Eulian Douberly, Mr.. Grit
fin, Malcolm CohenN and Mr.. and
Mrs. w. A. Carter. The last of the
party had just got into the boat, ac
cording to Mr.. Carter, when a wave
caused one of the women who was
standing in the batteau to lose her
balance and fall. AS she fell she
GRABBED one of the men and they
both fell out, capsizing the boat ac-
cording to Carter.
There was a heavy sea and the
batteau drifted away from the motor
boat Cohen and Carter started to
swim to the motor boat to throw a
line to the batteau, which was rapid
ly being carried TO sea, according
to Carter. The sea was running SO
strong, Carter says, he became ex-
hauSted.
Another fishing boat early this
morning found the upturned batteau

MAJORITY OF COMMITTEES
NEW YORK, June 19.-William
G.. McAdoo today took active charge
Of his own campaign for the Demo
cratic presidential nomination, and
at his headquarters in the Wander
bilt hotel began a series of confer
ences.
Among those with whom he talked
we're Senator Carter Glass, Of Vir-
ginia: Homer Cummings, Bruce
Kremer, of Montana, vice chairman
of the Democratic national commit
tee; Thomas 3. Love, of Texas, a
national committeeman, and Frank
H. Harris, Missouri state chairman.
David Ladd Rockwell, who has
been managing Mr. McAdoo's cam
paign, said that work had already
started on framing planks accept
able to Mr.. McAdoo; Mr.. Rockwell
said that the McAdoo forces expect
ed to control most of the convention
committees, including that on resolu'
tons
After saying Mr.. Mcdoo stood for
dry" plank in the Democratic
! platform, Mr.. Rockwell said the can
didate was not debating the planks,
but added:
"Mr. McAdoo believes that the
Volstead act can be enforced"
/ Anti-McAdoo leaders began confer
ences today seeking to select posi-
bile opponents. Senator Pat Harrison
of Mississippi, already selected fol
temporary chairman of the conven

would lie altogether without u mind.
After g tea-minute let-up, the
state began the introduction of re-
bujtai testimony, with ten or more
witnesses TO be heard.
AIieniSts Testify
DR.. Spier, last witness yesterday
for the defense, was recalled to the
stand today for further croSs-eXami
nation. He stated that dementia
praecox is usually hereditary, but
that it was necessary to have a per-
sons family history in order to def
n'tely determine this. History of the
Mcdowell family was in his posses
sion when he examined Frank. The
physician described the boy as hebe-
phrenic type of dementia praecoX, a
disease from which none recover.
Replying to a question, DR.. Spiel
said it was not possible for 4 person
TO assume insanity and mislead him
in his diagnosis of a case.
Verbal tits that marked cross-eX-
animation late yesterday continued
today, defense counsel Directing to
the manner in which special Assist
ant States Attorney Bird handled
witnesses.

sane, followed DR.. Spier. He exam
ined Mcdowell in February. he ties
titled, finding the boy suffering from
a mental disease and that he was
insane. Another examination was
made last week, the physician stated,
both as to physical and mental con-
dition.
Physically and mentally the youth
was in poor condition. There was
marked deterioration IN McDoweu's
mental condition between the Feb
ruary examination and that Of last
week, DR.. Smith declared. He testi-
fled that lack of emotions. a charac-
teristic displayed by Mcdowell. was
the predominant feature of a suf-
ferer from dementia praecoX.
From his experience, DR.. Smith
said, that if the defendants condi-
ton continues he will not live more
than three or four years, and that
H. finally will reach q stage where
he will have no mind. DIR. Spier, Or
lando physician, had testified that
( in his belief the boy would not live
more than five or six years.
Mcdowell sat with his head bowed
and a slight grin passed over his
1 face as the doctor testified as TO the
probable length of his life.

Both on Ground in Fighting
Mood MCAdoo's Presence
a Blow to ''Hon1e- own"
Advantage of Smith
BY ROBERT T. SMALL

Copyright. 1924
NEW YORK, June 19.-For the
first time that delegates can remem-
Der the two leading figures in a
fight for the Democratic presiden-
tial nomination are ION the ground"
and prepared to go the limit in their
personal struggle for the highest
honors of the party.
1T probably was the fact that the
convention is being held here in the
home town Of Governor AL Smith
that convinced Mr.. William Gibbs
McAdoo and his supporters that he
should lose no time in getting to
New York himself, cutting from I'M
der the governor any advantage he
might have by his own smiling con-
tact with the delegates.
In an event the ayre both here
and both in a militant frame of
mind. Governor smith would not
admit himself a candidate until the
state convention was held some two
months ago and unanimously in
dorsed him for the presidency. From
that time on, however, the Smith
fight became an organized effort to
gain the nomination, and Franklin
D. Roosevelt has been leading the
Smith forces. The governor him
self is now in charge and his
Handlers" as they say in prize
ring parlance, are certain that his
admitted personal magnetism will
stand him in good stead as he
mingles with the convention Wis
itors and delegates.
McAdoo's Personality Strong
Mr. McAdoo has made an aggres,
sive fight for the nomination, and it
is fitting that at the elimination OF
this fight he should be present in
person. The former secretary OF
the treasury has more of a persona
following, more of a personal organ
ization, than any Democrat in re
cent years. The McAdoo clubs
which have been organized by his
friends are nationwide. They have
been looking after the interests OF
| Mr.. McAdoo ever since he moved
to California three years ago, anC
| bv that move became a real presi
Dental possibility.
There is no denying the real en-
| thusiasm of the loyal McAdoo sup
| porters. They simply cannot see
any other outcome of the conven
ton than the selection of theil
choice. Mr. McAdoo came into towr
amid the wild cheers of his adher
ents. They call their plans a ,"cam
paign of increasing enthusiasm"
Lively Time for Radio Fans

the Democratic convention are go
ing to have a far more hectic time
than they had when the broadcast

bugs had better put on the loud
speaker and keep the head phones
away from their ears. Otherwise an
epidemic of deafness is likely to
sweep the country.
Fortunately the radio broadcasters
have been apprised of the habits
and temperaments of the Democrats
and arrangements have been made
to "cut out" the cheering and APP
