The doctor said he had found in
Leopold no toxic symptoms that
could be connected with his mental
state. The two spared over the eX-
pert's meaning when he gave this
statement on direct examination. DR..
! Krohn said that in reading from the
record the attorney had omitted a
drop in the voice, which probably
: does not appear in the stenographer's
transcript" He said that in mention
ing pulse and absence of tremors he
had intended those things as addi-
tions to the reasons by which he had
concluded Leopold was mentally
sound and not as reasons for the alb
sence of toxic conditions.
Agrees on Questions.
The doctor agreed Mr.. Grove had
asked those questions and that other
State witnesses had omitted mention
of them.
The doctor said he had not those
questions in mind when he mentioned
Leopolds courtesy, that it meant only
that he would be regardful of rights
of others in all things.
"And that was one of the reasons
ior concluding he had no mental
disease?"
Yes" said the witness.
Suppose you had not been present
and had only a report of what had
occurred June 1, would it be a satis-
factory basis for an opinion?" Mr..
Bachrach asked.
only SO far as the report went"
the doctor said.
1T would cover their mental pro-
| cesses. But the way a man says a
thing is important in determining g
! whether it is part of his real being"
The witness maintained that his

| PENDANTS were sufficient.
Asked of Examination.
What was the longest time you took
to examine person to determine
| whether he was mentally diseased or
| not?" was asked.
Il can't say" was the answer.
Does it take longer to find out
| whether he was insane or only mentally
diseased?" was the next question.
A laugh followed the reply that it
took longer to determine how sane a
| man might be.
Dr. krohn said he was called into
the case at pm. June l.
Suppose you were called upon to
examine a young man 10 years old

stances, Immediately after committing
Of a crime and confession, would you

the crime was on impulse or planning.
1t would show his mental condition.

sponsible as one who killed after

The doctor began going into detail
and was stopped by Mr.. Darrow.
We'll, doesn't it occur to you that
whether the crime was a departure

PLYMOUTH, VT. August 19.-
President Coolidge today presented to
Henry Ford a worn sap bucket, used
by himself in collecting maple sap on
the farm. The bucket, the President
said. was brought 20 Plymouth by
John Coolidge, grandfather of the
Presidents grandfather, an original
settler here.
AS he handed it to Mr.. Ford the
latter turned to Thomas A. Edison
seated next to him in the swing, and
declared:
II have never received anything
since 1 got Mrs. Ford that / appre-
ciate so much"
Mr. Ford asked for the Presidents s
signature. which was written on the
bottom of the pail below the burned
in letters of 81. Coolidge, Plymouth
After all members of the party had
signed their names the President in
scribed in pencil: Made for and used
by John Coolidge, an original settler
of Plymouth. He died in 1922. Used
also by Calvin Coolidge in the sugar
lot when he was boy at home
Edison Discusses Sleep.
Mrs. Coolidge finally inquired of
Mr.. Edison if it was true that he
slept SO little because he kept for
getting the time. The inventor
laughed and in turn asked how much
the President slept.
TOO much since he came up here
1 am afraid" Mrs. Coolidge replied
laughingly. He takes a nap every
afternoon and then goes TO bed early
Well" Mr.. Edison retorted, lack
of sleep won't hurt any one"
MesSrs. Ford and Edison with Har-
vey Firestone and their families mo-
tored to Plymouth from the wayside
inn. Sudbury, Mass, owned by Mr.
Ford, where they have been spending
vacation.
The President and Mrs. Coolidge re-
ceived their guests for the day or
the front porch of the home. which
was crowded to the limit when ad-
ditional straightback chairs were
brought out for seats.
The isit is one of the few President
Coolidge has INDUCED in except with
members of his family since coming
here last Saturday for a 12-day vaca-

Sets Up Wind Vane.
Mrs. Coolidge, using a hammer and
nails, set up a small wooden wind
vane on a fencepost just across the
road from the family home here
yesterday. The piece was made by
Calvin, jr., her son who died last
month. when he worked on his grand.
fathers farm here several summer:
ago. When Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge
were here last summer the boy wrote
and asked his mother to have the

COLD THREAD IN
EL|zABETHAN
SAMPLES
One Finds Early Example of
NeedIework Longer and
Narrower Than Present

Samplers-the needlecraft primers
Of yesterday-are among the most
intimate Of colIectable old things.
and it seems but natural that the
early American samplers had their
ancestry and inspiration in English
samplers.
The earliest samplers seem to
have been longer and narrower In
proportion than later ones. Threads
OF gold and silver are to be found
in needlework Of the Elizabeth and
Jacobean period, where we should
not look for them in the Geor gian.
Again, there are characteristics of
pattern that clearly denote the en-
broiderer's time. The design OF the
letters of the alphabet embroidered
on sampler also forms a clue, in
asmuch as 1t shares in common
with contemporary dated, printed,
and engraved lettering the mora
distinctive period characteristics Of
the latter.
The earliest date Of an alphabet
sampler, as far as is known. Is
1913; Of sampler with a motto,
1851; of sampler having a Dor.
der, 1925; of a representation Of q
house, 1853; Of numerals, 1856; OF
verse, 1896: the approximate period
OF the introduction of mustard col
ored canvases on which the sam.
piers were worked, is 1928.
Sad sewers made bad samplers
said Lord de Tabley, in The Sol
der of Fortune" but the wonder
is that the little fingers of yester.
day should have acquired skill not
only in one sort of embroidery but
IN the varied stitches often seen in
single sampler remarkable for ita
perfect and exquisite handiwork.
One is ALMOST aghast, for instance.
at the task suggested by John Tay.
lor's 1.-THE Needles Excellency,"
where one reads: "Tent.worke,
Raised worke, Laid-worke, Frost
worke, Networks; Most curious
purles or rare Italian Cut-worke;
Fine Ferne-stitch. Hew-stitch, and
China-stitch; Brave Bred-stitch.
Fisher-stitch; Irish-stitch and Queen.
stitch; The Spanish-stitch, Rose
mary-stitch; and Morose-stitch; The
Smarting Whip-stitch, Back-stitch
and the Cross-stitch. All these are
good and these we must allow, and
these are everywhere in practice
now"
With the infinitude of stitches it
Is not necessary here to be con.
cerned, although the enthusiast in
sampler collectinO II find the
study - .IeIpIul Just as the
expefL win find it highly necessary.
Poetry and samplers seem to have
been good friends. In the second
scene of the third act Of Titus
Andronicus," Shakespeare alludes
to samplers. So does Milton in
"Comus." and Sir Philip Sidney in
Arcadia"
