County Libraries Circulation
Increases Nearly 10000 in Past
Year. Annual Report Reveals

The annual report made by the
librarian of the Imperial county Ii
brary shows that the circulation
of the books for 1924 increased al
most 10000 volumes, while the in
crease in borrowers was over 1000
persons. Regular branches only are
included rs no figures are given
on the increase in borrowers of de
posits in schools. Therefore the
above figures indicate that 10
books were added for each new
member enrolled.
The report reveals that there are
81 distributing places in the local
county library system including 40
schools, nine branches with reading
rooms and five without, and 81 com.
munity branches. There are three
full time assistants at headquarters
and 10 of the larger branches have
paid assistants.
Total circulation of books for 1924
was 6s,95l while only 1910 books
went out in 1923. 4 total of 2ll3
were rebound or repaired, and 223j
volumes were discarded. One June

TO Stage Benefit
Supper, Dance
For Shot we'll S

Plans are on foot to give a bene-
fit supper and dance at Live Oaks
on next Saturday evening for Mrs.
William Shotwell and the four Shot
well children, aged 13, Q, and ,
years, who are at present at that
place. Mesdames j. s. Bridenstine,
j. 5. Rice, X. III. Maddox, Charles f..
Sones, Harry G. Jones and Harris
Nye have been named 4 committee
on arrangements and are busy at
work on the project. The affair
will be staged in the dining hall at
Live Oaks and after the supper,
tables will be cleared for an eve
ming of dancing. Supper will be
served from $3.50 p. m. ON.
A week ago, William Shotwell, the
husband and father of the family,
was taken to prison to serve IN irs
determinate sentence Of from one
to, ten years for embezzling state
funds while acting as head of the
traffic squad in this county. Up to
that time, he had been II hard work.
VI bi't Ntlf III titC
The wife and family, left behind to
shift for themselves as best they
can, are evidently the ones who pay
the biggest penalty in this case, as
in so many others where heads of
families are sent to prison.
A few days ago, Mrs. Shotwell
was reduced to her last ten dollars
but was too proud to let her plight
be known until pressed by friends
ataLive Oaks, to whom she confess
ed her financial predicament. The
cottage she is living in, fortunately,
was paid for the season some time
ago, so that for the time being the
llltle family has shelter.
All who are interested in helping
may. secure tickets for the supper
or leave donations with Mrs. l.. T.

about the valley. Mr.. Bishop
and his wife decided that they
would investigate further, SO
Mr.. Bishop came to the valley.
Yesterday afternoon following
a consultation with real estate

DARROW EXPLAINS
WHY BOYS HAVE
PLEADED GUILTY
Continued from page ~

he is that far limited in his efforts
to obtain n light sentence, said he
would try to show a .'degree of
moral responsibility" which might
suggest n Fighter sentence.
Darrow today explained why he
entered the pleas of guilty.
1T was the only logical thing
fer us to do the famous defense
attorney said.
Those boys are not fit to mingle
in society. Their parents are agreed
that their sons should be confined.
The defense never did and does not
now, of course, haYe any desire to
set them Free" Darrow said.
= Grove will open the state''s case
tomorrow morning with an explana
tion of what he will seek to estab
lish. 1t will be Il lengthy statements
of~the state s ease and when he is
through he will summon one after
another of his witnesses to relate
from the witness stand all the events
>of the kidnapping and killing of
Robert Franks. 1t probably will
take two or three weeks to present
the state S case. Then Darrow will
present arguments for the defense
seeking to avoid the death penalty.
The whole proceedings, it is believ-
ed, will require approximately one
month.
In the meantime the defendants
are in the county Jail under close
guard to prevent possible attempts
at suicide. Sheriff Hoffman said he
does not want to take a chance. -
Leopold and Loeb, 6owncast for Il
few hours yesterday after their pleas
of guilty, seem to have regained
their composure. They profess to
believe Justice Caverly will not i'm
pose the extreme penalty.
Tells of Agonizing Scene
Darrow told of the agonizing
scene when parents of the youthful
slayers agreed to throw their sons
fate upon the mercy of the court.
owe went into the matter very
thoroughly, barrow said. z" We ar
gucd amongst ourselves at times,
but finally, at II conference of the
attorneys and members of the two
families last Friday, we decided
there was. only one thing to do
plead guilty and accept whatever
the court decided.
'"Young Leopold s father was
particularly affected. lie wept
like little child, but he was brave
and he gave his consent to the plea
of guilty.
"Only parents of young men can
realize the awful grief that came
to these people when they realized
that their sons were murderers and
there was no use to fight for their
freedom.
"When we told the parents that
there was no hope-that their sons
could not and should not 90 free,
