T1EN years ago today
the city of Belgrade
was shelled by Austrian
guns. This was the first real
fighting of the world war.
The British feet sailed for

Censorship was clamped
on all over Europe.
The Kaiser and the Car of

situation.
The only effect in Amer

almost as much attention to

Word of Delay Until Election
Passed Out,

There may be no further steps to
GUST Bert Morgan as Federal Pro
hibition Director for Indiana until
after election.
This was the word given out at
Republican headquarters today on
the ground further stirring up Of
the Watson-New political feud AT
this time will only tend to muddy
Republican waters in Indiana on
the eve Of a presidential election.
1t is not the intention Of Senator
Watson, however, to let Morgan
stay in office longer than political
expediency permits. 1t was stated.
Because Of the publicity and
turmoil which has surrounded the
attempted busting Of Morgan, much
sympathy has been worked up in
Morgan's favor and observers view
Watson's attempt as political
hiunder.

E. NJ. Allen, court stenographer,
read Leopolds statement from his
notes. beginning where he had end
ed when court adjourned yesterday.
Leopold attempted to cover up the
disappearance of his glasses, Allen
read-the glasses We're found near
the spot where Roberts body was
jammed into the culvert and led TO
the arrest of the slayers. Later Leo
pold explained that he might have
dropped the glasses out of his pocket
at one of the particular times when
he had a class in ornithology around
the scene of the hiding of the body,
the witness read.
Leopold afterwards admitted he
had probably lost the spectacles
when he stumbled while carrying
the body to the culvert.
Slayers Laugh
Leopold and Loeb laughed heartily
as the witness read of Leopold s
tricky devices in building up an
alibi Leopold said that he was
surprised and shocked" when he
learned that his spectacles were
found on the scene.
Leopold said he expressed these
emotions to his brother. his aunt
and the maid at the Leopold home.
To his brother, Leopold said he ex-
claimed: Isn't it the - -
thing you ever heard?"
Leopold also expressed surprise
and amazement at the crime to vari-
Gus persons in about the same lam
guage, Allen read. Leopold also ex-
pressed innocence in connection with
the writing of the $4,000 ransom
letter to Jacob Franks, father of
the victim.
The witness said Leopold gave a
critical analysis of the punctuation,
grammar and euphony Of the letter
and expressed the belief that he
could have written one just as good,
if not better.
Leopold said he owned a Ham
mond typewriter and had rented a
Corona but no mention was made
of a portable Underwood such as
that used in tipping the ransome
letter
Further revelations made by Leo
pold were that his father owned
four automobiles and his two older
brothers also owned cars kept in
his fathers garage and that he was
very fond of liquor, particularly gin.
AS the witness came to the words
of Groves question have you ever
made a study of the works Of"
attorneys stopped him and this por-
ton Of Leopold's statement was
deleged from open court. 1t was
read in q whisper to the court re-
porter so that it might be entered in
the records.
This portion obviously dealt with
