DEFENSE CLAIMS GAINS IN QUIZ
 0 DR. SINGER
$ chizOphrenic Person Makes Appearance In
 Franks Hearing
lRv Asaociated Press. ]

CHICAGO, Aug. U.-Testimony of Dr. H. Douglas Singer, fourth alienist for the prosecution, that Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, Jr., were entirely normal when they Kidnapped and killed i4-year-old Robert Franks last May 21, was subjected today to the expert yivi- section of the aging but vigorously alert Clarence S. Darrow, chief cOun- sel for the defnse.
 The hearing to detremine whether Judge John R. Cayerly shall infliet the death penalty on the youths on their plea of guilty, or shall impose penitentiary sentences upon plea for mitigation of punishment, was en- fyened by frequent clashes of Mir. Dar.ow with the witness, and again with Robert D. Grove, states attorney,
 Defense Claims Gains
 At adjaurnment the defense clalmed these were not gains:
 Admission by Dr. Singer that he had reached conclusions by observation and not examination; that a split l.ersonal- ity, described by defense llenlsts as existing in both boys, might eyi- ,lence towards q mental disorder; that the present ages of both Loeb and Leo pold is the critical time for developing mental sickness;" and that a dream life might influence personality.
 Dr. Singer did not deyinte from his general declaration that he had found no evidence in his observations nor Tn the testimony of defense experts to sway him from his conclusions that there were mo evidence r. indicate a diseased mind in either youth and that they had displayed T, maj emO- tions and that their phantasy nHes con thined nothing abnormal
 The other leg of the triangular plea of the defense disorders Ot the endocrine gland systems-was ot touched upon today.
 DaErow Is GVatified
 Mir. Darrow was gratified by getting into the record a statement by James Ouinlan of Joliet, at one time an of- ficial of the state penitentiary, but now q lawyer, that $40 persons had pleaded guilty of murder in Illinois in the last ten years, and that only one of them. Thomas Fitzgerald, a man nearly 40 years old, had been hanged. Mr. Darrow's point was to bring out that no youths of the ages of Leopold and Loeb had paid the su. preme penalty on pleas of guilty, and that Mir. Grove, who has termed the Franks case a perfect hanging case, sentenced Fitzgerald.
 Once during todag's short session; Mir. Grove charked that the defense was try ing to cheat the law. Mir. Darrow coun- tered by accusing Mir. Grove of having held Loeb and Leopold illegally while he forced confessions from them. At an other point the two argued heatedly when MT, Grove referred to the youths as ''erimiralsa

MESSING DEPUTY !. IN ITALY FOUND
 DEAD IN CULVERT
Small File Sticking In Heart Furnishes Sole
 Clue
(By Associated PTess,) (By FRANCISCO REA)

By Leased Wire to Age-Herald)
 ROME, Aug. 16.-Chiefly by means of his wedding ring and gold fill ing in his tooth, the remains of the murdered Socialist Deputy Matteotti, discovered early this morning in thieket on the highway near Rome, were identified by the servant and his trends today.
 A, file was found, thrust through the dead mans chest close to the heart,
 The discovery of the dead mans body was a dramatic as any of the circumstances surrounding his assas- sination. A setter dog belonging to reserve carabineer named Caratelli, who was on hunting trip, brought a bone to his master which the latter instant ly recognized as human. His other dogs then, by their barking, attracted Cara telli's attention to thicket, from which came a pungent Odor. Caratelli obtained the assistance of some cara bineers close by and the party pushed their way through the thicket to hole, where they discovered a severed arm. Further operations were hastily car ried out until the body of the miss ing deputy. in an advanced stage of decomposition but with the head easily Recognizable, was unearthed.
 The authorities at Rome were inn mediately notified and hurried to the scene. as did also several socialist deputies, who Identified the body as that of their comrade. His coat, which was found near the same spot Thurs day, had already been identified by his tailor.
 Both arms had been severed from the trunk, indicating that the victim had put up fearful struggle against his assassins. The teeth were intact and a silk handkerchief belonging to Matteotti was found near the spot. The body had been hastily buried in only six inches of earth. Doctors de- clared it had been lying in the shallow grave since June. So rushed were the assassins that the pit was only about yard in length and the body had been doubled up to fit it,
 News of the discovery spread rapid ly along the countryside and peasants flocked to the scene bringing flowers, which they placed close to the spot. The body was guarded by a Gordon of police and only the intimate friends of the victim were allowed to view it. Identification was made by Mat teotti's servant and by two socialist depdties.
 The body was brought to Rome in casket tOnight and conveyed to the mortuary at Verano, for identified tion by the dead mans widow.
 Preparations for the funeral are now awaited, but it is probable that these will be of an extremely private nat ure, as the authorities fear demon stration by the public of Rome. Mean while, evidence is being gathered against the fascisti and members of the administration already under arrest in connection with the crime.

One Act Farce Given
By Cheerful Doors
of Methodist Church

| ''Elizabeths Young Man." a one
act farce was presented last even
! ing in the vestry of the Methodist
! by the Cheerful Doors and the
! Builders classes Of the church school.
| The comedy. from the start was
scream and the members of the cast
carried out their parts to perfection.
Mrs. w. A. Farwell coached tho farce
and great deal of credit is due her
! for its success.
Elizabeth, a young nurse who has
graduated from training school is
assigned to take an insane patient
to the hospital and writes her maid
en- aunt that possibly she will stop
at her home on the way. A short
time later she is married and writes
to her aunt about the news. I'm
fortunately the maiden lady does
not receive this last missive and
: when Elizabeth arrives at her aunt's
home with her husband, most
prominent young doctor, this good
and lovable relative mistakes the
young bridegroom for her nieces In
sane patient. 1t would be impossi-
BILE to describe the various and ridic-
ulous circumstances that the young
husband finds himself in, when the
sympathetic aunt tries to amuse him
with pictures and soothing refresh
ments but it is enough to say that
the audience is convulsed With laugh
ter throughout the scene. An in
quisitive neighbor adds to the en-
barassment of Elizabeth, who after
! a while manages to explain about
the second letter and matters end
happily right there.
The cast was as follows: Frances
Mitchell, q maiden aunt; Mildred
Alley, an inquisitive neighbor: Ger
! trude Harlow, Elizabeth, a trained
nurse, newly wed: Dean Quinton, Dr.
Martin, Elizabeth's husband.
The play preceded by short pro-
gram, consisting of a mandolin solo
by Miss Frances Diggs a reading by
Gereldine Taylor, and cornet duet
by Ralph Fitch and Raoul Cyr.
After the entertainment a social
was held with all kinds of games
| and stunts. Music was furnished by
Mrs. w. A. Farwell and Roy Smith.
Refreshments Of fruit punch and
assorted cake were served at the
close.
The committees in charge were
Miss Annie kearn, chairman, Misses
Edith Quinton. Gertrude Harlow and
Mildred Alley for the Cheerful
Doors class and Roy Smith, chair
man, Dean Quinton, Harold Palmer
and Isinwood Pratt for the Builders
class.
