 The youths intimate association was not always a pleasure to them, asserted the witness, but he declared leach boy felt inadequate to carry on the life most desired unless some one else in life was found to complement him."
 Leopold wanted a superior for a companion and Loeb wanted some one to emulate him." said the doctor as he analysed the alliance that led to the murder of the Franks boy.
 Dr. Hubert still was on the stand when the hearing was adjourned at noon until 10 80 a. m., Monday.
 Clarence Darrow, chief of defense counsel, stated after adjournment that possibly four additional witnesses would be called and the defense rest it's plea for mitigation of punishment Monday afternoon.
 To Can Relatives. .
 Allan and Jacob Loeb, brother and unele,. respectively, of Richard Loeb. and Foreman Leopold. brother of Nathan, and the Loeb family ckauf- feur, would be the last defense wit nesses, Mir. Darrow indicated. He said that they would be called upon to iden- tify certain exhibits and not to give extensive testimony That would pro- hibit extensive cross examination, as nothing not remarked upon in direct examination can be brought out by the state.
 Immed diately upon defense resting, Robert E. Grove, states attorney, will launch a vigorous rebuttal in furthering his demand for the death penalty for Loeb and Leopold.
 Former friends, university instruc- tors, servants in the Leopold and Loeb families and prominent women, some of whom were pupils of Leopold in his ornitholoFical class, are named on a list of fftv prospective witnesses an- nounced by MT. Grove as having been summoned to testify that the youths are sane and constitute normal actors in which he called a perfect hanging case.'
 Rebuttal will require possibly four days, the Irosecutor indicated. Pros leetive time needed for the state was reduced today when Mir. Grove agreed with M". narrow not to call more than four alienists if the defense would cut off expert testimony with that of Dr. Hubert.
 On the states rebuttal witness liss appears the name of Miss Susan Lurie, University of Chicago student with Leo pold, and soid to have been the only girl for which he ever expressed any feeling It was to Miss Lurie that Leopold is alleged to have remarked before he was arrested for the Franks murder that it would be good joke were she to surrender him as the mur- derer and claim the $11 900 in rewards.
 The mail of those interested in the case was, as usual, heavily burdened with crank letters today. Judge Cav erly got letters from throughout the country. the vote" today being largely against the youths
 Prosecutor Grove received a small box containing eight marbles, each wrapped in tissue paper, and the whole carrying the note:

DARROW COMES OUT f AS BOOZE DEBATER
Takes Issue With Chicago Mayor k, on Liquor Question

Chicago, Oct. 7.-William E. De- Yer, mayor of Chicago, and Clarence $. Darrow, famous trial lawyer amazed l,50O county and state dem- ocratic leaders at a banquet here last night when they engaged in an unheralded debate over the eish- tecnth amendment.
 MT. Darrow, whose most recent step into the spotlight was through his defense of Richard Loeb and Na- than F. Leopold, Jr. for the kid napping-murder of Bobby Franks, asserted that while the eighteenth amendment never would be re- poaled, "it will die because people of courage and independence will stand against it." and because it "cannot be enforced"
 His declaration that all the presi- dents, mayors and public officials in the country cant enforce 1t, came after Mayor Dever had asserted that he had no apologies to make for his campaigns against liquor law viola tions, and was willing to sacrifice my party and myself if I can attain for the community what l am aim ing at"
 His aim, he said, was to deliver Chicago from foreign bootleggers and poisonous liquors and ito de- termine whether the streets were going to be safe for the people or controlled by gang of New York crooks, who were making millions of dollars" Before the eighteenth amendment was passed, he contin- ued, T was never known 10 be drier than I ought 10 be"
 The mayor said he believed in en- forcing the laws as they were on the books. If you are not fond of the laws. tell your troubles to the con- gressmen and ask them to make some revision," he said.
 Mr. Darrow replied: There never was a public official who enforced all the laws. If he did he would be driven from office"
 T believe the preservation Of hu- man liberty is one of the most sa- cred things for which men can fight" he said. Those opposed never sleep, they make money out of il and would reduce us to slavery ii they could"
 The occasion was banquet ten dered Anton Cermack, president Of the Cook county board, just returned from trip abroad.
 Mayor Dever was to have talked on "Cermack--the constructor" but said he would deviate because others who had preceded apparently had looked mournfully at him when they had mentioned the enighteenth amendment. Mayor Dever has closed approximately 2,000 saloons since he assumed office,
 Mir. Darrow's subject was an- nounced, "Cermack, the Citizen"
