Chicago. Aug. 5. (By the A. P.)
DIR. William Healy of Boston,
testifying for the defense at the
hearing to determine the punish
ment for Richard Loeb and Nathan
Leopold Jr. for Kidnapping and
numbering Robert Franks, testi-
fled today that the crime was "the
direct result of Loeb's diseased
motivation" and that the cbserva-
tions Of the youths in the court
room had confirmed his opinion
from examination that they are
mentally diseased.
Characterization of DR.. Healy
began by Robert E. Grove, states
attorney, seeking to bring out the
basis of "a. child's compact" be-
tween Loeb and Leopold and the
hearing, upon suggestion of the de-
Tense, became silent, the witness
testified in low voice only for the
court and the stenographers.
The matter of which boy struck
the fatal blow with cold chisel
remained the puzzle Of the trial
when DR.. Healy after a 15-minute
reference to his notes of examin-
alton, said that he had mot" been
told which killed the Franks boy,
and did not know.
DR.. Healy resumed his testimony
| by further explaining the "child-
ish compact" he said yesterday
Loeb and Leopold had entered into
at the age of fifteen.
"This childish compact was en-
tered into apparently for the sake
of carrying out some of the child
ish notions which each had and was
unwillingly acceded to in both in
stances, to a certain degree any
how" said the witness.
"Ne doubt some think it is a
great deal worse than it really is"
The witness said Loeb began
drinking at the age of Is years of
age, a fact which he considered
pertinent to the case, and began an
association with older folk.
"When he got into college life
he had been pushed ahead of him.

a situation then which was decid-

His Conclusions
Turning to his conclusions, DR..
Healy said that ION account of
Loeb's abnormal mental life, par

Premier Hands German Pro-
tOcOl - Wants Conference
Ended by Friday Night

London, Aug. Shy the A. P)-
Premier Macdonald, presiding at
plenary session of the inter-allied
conference at noon today, formally
handed to the German delegation the
protocol embodying the program of
the conference for putting the Dawes
reparation report into effect. He
asked the Germans to study the re-
port and be ready to express their
opinions tomorrow.
The premier said he wanted to
bring the conference to an end by
Friday night. The session, which
was held at the premier's official re-
sidence in Downing street. lasted
but thirty minutes and was opened
by a welcoming address delivered by
Mr.. Macdonald.
Fully Prepared
The German delegates, headed by
Chancellor Marx, Foreign Minister
Stresemann and Finance Minister
Luther arrived in London at $3.50 a.
m. fully prepared for the meeting,
having familiarized themselves with
the action Of the conference commit
tee while en- route to Berlin.
That the German delegates will
object to certain features is a fore
gone conclusion but according to
high American authority there are
but two points to which they can
technically do so. One Of these is
the provision for extension of de-
liveries in kind of coke, dyes and
coal beyond the Versailles treaty
date of 1880 and the other is the
agreement on arbitration of the ques-
tion Of whether financial maneuvers
are taking place in Germany to de-
feat the Dawes plan.
Will Assist
On their arrival in London the
German delegates through their
spokesman, Herr Spiecker, said they
wished to assist in finding the best
method of putting the Dawes report
into effect without alteration and in
the spirit of it's author, and that they
would contribute their part to its
loyal fulfillment.
that the same spirit would be found
in London in which event, he said,
there should be no difficulty in COM
ing to speedy agreement.
