for we all have day dreams. But these dreams were abnormal.
 At this point Dr. Healy discussed Leopold's strange torture complex, which clearly was reflected in his inner mental life through series of fan tasies.
 "This life developed early. Why, even last year his aunt noticed that he frequently would lie down and dream. He was having these peculiar fantasies during this period, he told me. These fantasies of both Leopold and Loeb had an enormous influence on their lives" Dr. Healy continued. "The normal fan tasies of people are carried out in their effort to express their ambitions.
 Any boy who was good looking would appeal to Leopold and he imme- diately would embody the boy in his dreams" the witness continued. '"The boy would be eligible for the slave role in his fantasy he would plan capturing the boy and branding him. For this operation Leopold had dreamed of a special kind of brand, a peculiar de- sign, highly significant of abnormality in itself"
 Darrow at times questioned the wit ness. He asked him when Leopold s dreams first included Loeb as com ponent part.
 Imagined Things
 "Abont year or so ago Leopold be- gan weaving Loeb into his fantasy of life," Dr. Healy said "He commenced to regard him as wonderful, as good looking, as a heroic figure, an ideal man. He knew none of these things to be true, but he imagined them to be facts.
 "Leopold's relatives tell us that for many years he had shown q peculiar and intense energy" Dr. Healy con- tinued. "He continually has been reach ing our for new studies. In his home he has pathological collection that con tained 5000 specimens, many of them rare birds. He has always been seeking new experiences and sensations. He liked to play with languages. to write German in Greek characters" The physician then read letter Leo pold wrote to Loeb last October, at a time when the two had quarreled. The letter was an attempt to effect a recon ciliatiOn. In it Leopold said that su- perman was not liable for-anything that he did, except for one crime, and that was to commit a mistake.
 During his last term at Chicago University Leopold got up in law class and insisted that while laws might be applicable to ordinary people, they were not meant for supermen," Dr. Healy said. Even when it comes to us, Leopold ridicules our work and says that there is no such thing as mental disease. He doesn't show a normal self regard"
 Leopold, ST.. sat with his head in his hands as Dr. Healy described how his son attempted to kill all affection for members of his family. Then Dr. Healy made one of bis most astonishing revelations.
 Easy As Pie
 Leopold told us he had considerable interest in observing himself as a mur- derer" the witness said. When I asked him how he felt while he was planning to murder the Franks boy, he replied !: Making up my mind to commit mur- der was practically the same as making up my mind to eat pie for supper; the question was whether it would give me pleasure or not"

LIKE A SIREN,
 MOTH LURES ],
 MAN TO DEATH.

D OSTON, Aug. IA brilliant ID butterfly, tatooed on. the shape
 ly, sunburnt shoulder of an unknown bathing beauty, lured Manuel Silva to. his death. Silva. along with hundreds of other bathers at the World war memorial park, East Boston, was captivated by the rythmic antics of the lone mermaid with the beautiful butterfly on her shoulder. Not un- like a sailor off the bewitching Isle of Circe, Manuel watched her dive and frolic well off shore.
 But the butterfly? Was it really tatooed, or just painted on her we'll tanned shoulder?
 Finally Manuel called out to the butterfly girl and asked her, where upon she jokingly suggested that he "come out and see. for himself. 7
 Then she dove and swan toward the breakwater.
 It was a challenge, and soon the two were seen talking together.
 Exactly what followed probably will never be known, for the last seen of Silva was when he. dove off the breakwater with the girl.
 Several minutes later Silva's brother, who had seen the two take the dive, noticed i, Manuel's body floating just beneath the surface of the water. He had drowned fol- lowing cramps.
 The butterfly girl had vanished.

CAPPER IN FIGHT TO KEEP SEAT;' WALTON FAVORED
Southwest Turns Political Eye Toward Kansas
 And Oklahoma
By ARTHUR F. DE GREvE { By Laased Wire To Age-HeraId.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-. Aug. 4.-The southwest has turned it's political eye toward Missouri, Kansas and Okla homa, as voters in those three states prepare to go to the polls and cast their ballot in Tuesdays primaries.
 In. two. of the states bitter fights, which have attracted nationwide inter est, have been brewing for weeks. Senator Arthur Capper, republican leader of the farm bloc in Congress, up for renomination in Kansas, returned from Washington to find a well-or- ganized movement afoot to dethrone him. The fight on the junior senator has been waged on his record as a re- publican. His opponents, Tofri D. Smith of Hiawatha, and Sheffield In- gals of Atchison, have criticized Cap per's failure to support. President Coolidge in his stand on the bonus and other national measures.
 N Pledged To Coolidge
 As the zero hours hears, however, political observers predict that Capper will win. His recent statement that he would support the Coolidge ticket if re elected, broadcast through his many farm journals and other publications, has gone far to win him back place in the hearts of dubious republicans, they point out.
 In Oklahoma, J. c. Jack" Walton, the fighting governor, who was inn peached in office, has waged a hard fight for the democratic nomination as United States senator. Walton has made the race on a strictly anti-klan platform, condemning the masked or ganization for his removal from office and branding it as a menace to so- ciety." Walton's chief opponent of the four seeking the nomination is Charles J. Wrightman, a millionaire oil op- orator of Tulsa, who has been publicity endorsed by the klan.
 A Heavy FavOrite
 The deposed governor was reported to be a heavy favorite in the betting Sunday. The general belief is, how ever, that even should he win the nomi- nation he would be defeated in the gem eral election. One man offered to wager $1,000 that Walton would re- ceive the nomination afd be elected. He faund no taker, according to. re- ports from Oklahoma City.
 EX-SenaIOf lOm tore, alSO Seeklng the democratic nomination, has been conducting thorough but unpretenti- ous campaign. Afflicted with blind ness, he has left most of the personal work to his wife.
 Chief interest in the Missouri pri- mary lies in the gubernatorial struggle Lieut.. Gov. Hiram Lloyd of St. Louis and Samuel Baker. of Jefferson City, were reported neck and neck for the republican nomination. Reports reach ing here indicate that one of the heaviest votes in the history of the southwest will be cast in the three prlmarles. ....L =.

 Labor leaders who attempt to make Congressmen and others believe they carry the vote of the membership iu their vest pockets are only kidding themselves, and I have been surprised at the number of public servants and others who seem to believe that labor's vote can be traded to about the same extent as any article of merchandise.
 'sThe membership of the bfothers hood approximately 1S000O at this time is sufficiently intelligent to de- termine how and when to vote and I have never deceived myself into the bee lief that such membership through my influence could be delivered to any DO. litical party at will. The extent to which this organization goes in con- nection with such matteres is to place before the membership in circular form, the labor record of public servants, candidates for office"

 By Washington Orders

NEW YORK, Aug. 4.-Robert J Owens, federal prohibition agent. whG led a raid last@-Eriday on the home of Hugo Gilbert de Ffitsch, whose wife is relative by marriage of Chief Jus tice Taft, last Friday, was dismissed from service by an order issued from Washingtons tonight Owens dismissal followed sooh after the stock of pre- prohibition liquor seized at the time was returned to3the house by two of the other agents who had taken part in the raid
