CROWE WILL ASSUME NO
 RESPONSIBILITY, HE SAYS
States Attorney Says Hanging Is Only Verdict Feared By
 Murderers.
, The Associated Press.

lI y
 Chicago, Sept. 1o.-This statement was made by Robert E. Grove, states attorney on the sentences of Leopold and Loeb, follows:
 When the states attorney arrest ed the defendants, solved what was then a mystery, and by the thor oughness of his preparation. com pelled the defendants to plead guilty, presented a mountain of evidence to the court and made his argument, his duty was fully performed. He is in no measure responsible for the decision of the court. The respon- slbility for that decision rests with the judge alone. f'
 Like all other law-abiding citi- gems, when the court pronounces his decision. I must be content with it because his decision in this case is final. While I do not intend and have no desire to criticize the de- cision of the court, I still believe that the death penalty Is the only penalty feared by murderers.
 Fathers and mothers in Cook county may rest assured as long as I remain states attorney, I will al- ways do everything within my power to enforce the law honestly, fearless l." and vigorously, without regard to the status of the criminal"

PLIERS TO REMAIN
 IN WASHINGTON
(Continued from First Page.)

When the New Orleans Is flown to Boiling field she will be given an extensive examination. Lieutenant Nelson will bring the plane here in that there may be no technjcaI question as to whether he has omitted a few of the thousands of miles covered by the flight.
 Large crowds gathered at Boiling t1eld today around the Chicago ard Boston II, Many of them csme by automobile from nearby states and seemed especially interested in the equipment on the ships for ths comfort of the piles and mechanic on the long grind across unexp,ored countries.
 President Coolidge at noon re- ceiVed the three pilots at the White House and congratulated them on their success.
 The aviators were accompanied by Secretary Weeks, Major General Patrick, chief of the air service, and Brigadier General Mitchell, as- sistant chief of the air service. where they were asked to pose for pictures in front of the White House. It was found that Lieuten- ant Nelson had lost his cap yester- day in the flight to Washington and had not obtained another.
 The pilots will stop over Sunday in Dayton, their destination on the next leg of the journey, probably resuming the flight again on Mon. day, General Patrick said.
 Baltimore, Sept. 10.-The work q, installing a new motor in the world flight plane New Orleans of which Lieut.. Brick Nelson is pilot and which was forced down at Hale. thrope, near here, yesterday, while en route from New York to Wash. ington, was begun this morning,
 A stripped timing gear was ths cause of Lieutenant Nelson's mishap and after examination by Lieuten. ant John Harding, Jr., mechanician n it was decided to install a new en. zine rather than attempt to repair the. old one. The new motor, and 4 crew of mechanicians to do the work, arrived at Halethorpe last night by motor truck from Bollins Field, Washington, and early today its installation was begun.
 Lieut.. Harding. who went on tc Washington last night for the recep. ton rendered the aviators, also re. turned today to help put the plane In shape to continue the flight tc Seattle.
 When the New Orleans does re. sume Its flight 1t will carry no flow. CTS if Lieutenant Harding has any. thing to say about it. He made thi: decision last night when he found in the cockpit of the machine the bouquet which was to have beer dropped on the grave of the un. known soldier in Arlington Nationa' cemetery yesterday.
 Harding drew forth the bououet and tossed it away.
 Its the last time I'll ever carr, flowers" he declared, "and the, came too darn near being all mins for me to keep them as a souvenir
