lawyers are figuring most heavily
should the present tide Of law and
science turn against them.
Foundation Laid.
The foundation for such possible
action already has been established.
Four alienists of national repute,
Drs. William A. White, Of Washing
ton; William j. Healy, of Boston:
Bernard Glueck, of New York, and
H. S. Hubert, Of Oak Park, have
testified they found Leopold and
Loeb mentally diseased and emotion:
ally atrophied. They have not
stated the youths are insane, for
the plea Of guilty precluded their
doing so.
But each alienist has testified the
boys have "disintegrating person.
alities" and that their minds have
been in a crumbling process for
several years, which ultimately
would have landed them in asylums
or not.
Progressive psychosis'' and
mental disintegration" are two of
the terms they used in describing
the Leopold-Loeb brains.
SANITY COMMISSION.
/ It is commonly accepted that
several months will elapse between
a possible sentence of death in the
present trial and an execution
date. So with a foundation of
progressive insanity" already laid.
1t would be a simple matter, it was
pointed out today, for the lawyers
and the psychiatrists to appeal for
sanity commission on the ground
that between the date of sentence
and the date of execution their
lettering" minds had crossed the
border, line into ordinary, legal
insanity. And the law prohibits
hanging an insane man.
Precedent in Procedure.
There is a precedent for such
action in Cook county that is
parallel to a striking degree. Gene
Geary, a stock yards gunman, shot
a policeman, pleaded guilty and was
given the gallows. Between the date
Of sentence and the date set for
his execution, his lawyers appealed
for sanity commission on the
ground that the vision Of the rope
had turned him into gibbering
idiot. A sanity commission pro-
nounced him insane, and he is now
In an asylum.
1t may or may not be signifi-
cant, but the Geary case is fire.
quently mentioned by the lawyers
and alienists in the Leopold-Loeb
trial. Some of the doctors in the
Geary trial are identified with the
present trial.
The defense today was expected
to wind up its presentation of
evidence and rest, permitting the
State to put on its rebuttal wit.

JOSEPH ]. REEVES
PASSES ON COAST

Word was received early in the
week in Bozeman of the death last
week at the Anaheim hospital in Los
Angeles, Calf, of Joseph P. Reeves,
former resident of Bozeman and coun-
ty assessor of Gallatin county for
several years, following an acute ill
ness of several months.
He was born in Missouri and was
80 years of age. He crossed the plains
by way of the Lander cutoff and ar
rived at Virginia City August 25, 1864.
He was for several years resident
of the Willow Creek district, and will
be remembered by old-timers in that
vicinity. He was elected assessor of
Gailatin county in the fall of 1887
and served in the office for several
years. In the fall of 1859, he was
married to Miss Mary F. Houston,
then county superintendent of schools
OF Gallatin county, at the home of
her brother, the late Stafford Houston,
and his wife, Mrs. E. Lima Houston. in
Bozeman. They lived in Bozeman for
about six years and then moved to
Redlands, Calf, where they lived for
several years, and later they moved
to Hollister, where Mrs. Reeves died
about six years ago. One son, Hous-
ton Reeves, survives the father. In
1916, Mr.. Reeves visited in the valley,
and enjoyed seeing his friends of the
early days.
He was a member of the Society
of Montana Pioneers. Funeral serv-
ices were held at San Bernardino,

ers and sons and daughters and their
families present.
Mr.. StaffOrd's Address
Again we meet on the day set
apart as Pioneers day. We meet to
give honor to the pioneers now pre-
sent and to refreshen sweet and in
teresting memories of those who
have gone to their reward. 1t is your
privilege upon this occasion to live
over again some of the interesting
events of your lives, and in relating
these things, may you impart to us
OF the second generation some OF the
true pioneer spirit, some of the fear
lessness, some of the spirit of 10y
atty for Montana, whose foundations
you have laid, so that we may re-
consecrate ourselves to tho contIn-
uation of the work you have begun.
"Lest We become unmindful of the
things you as pioneers have accom-
plished, and under conditions that we
of the present day might consider
impossible, let us compare conditions
then and now. We can only imagine
with what anxiety relatives at home
saw the departure of members o1
thier families for the far distant un-
known land of Montana They knew
the departing ones would encounter
many dangers. Indians were hostile
and exhibited with pride the soap OF
white man. Wild beasts were num-
erous and ferocious, and the rattle
snake a constant source of danger.

Miss Davis is a real artist on the
violin and her selections were greatly
appreciated. The "Tableau of Wars"
and minuet given by the eight-three
grade of the Emerson school, under
the direction of Miss Rabe, were the
same as given on Monday afternoon.
They were very well done and added
to the program.
The ''Pantomime of "The Sweet
Story of Old" by Lois Berthot and
the recitation "The Guardian Angle"
by Genevieve Woodland were excellent.
The major part of the program con-
sisted of the Pageant play "The Spirit
of Frances Willard"
d. j. Davis and Elizabeth Seitz sang
"The Daybreak" followed by the
Prologue" given by Mary Wisner.
The following girls were in the Rain

PAY 1928 LICENCES;
CASES DISMISSED

City Attorney George D. Pease ap-
peared in district court last Saturday
and ordered the dismissal of the
charges against three local citizens
who were charged with SO other de-
PENDANTS with having failed to pay
their city license for 1928. Those who
paid up were Hollingsworth's store,
Oliver o. Olson, the painter, and
Frank H. Pike, of the Bozeman cream
cry.
It was said that these payments of
1923 license fees were made in an
effort to conform to the stand taken
by committee of the Bozeman Re-
tail Dealers association in a recent
conference with city officials that the
charges against the 80 defendants for
non-payment of 1923 licenses be
prosecuted ,and the 1928 licenses be
collected from others who had either
paid in part, or who had not paid
at all.
The Retail Dealers association al
so took the stand that its member
ship would resist the payment of the
1924 licenses, no matter on what bas-
is the apportionment was made, so
long as the 1923 licenses remained
unpaid, or the legal status Of the 80
defendants undetermined.
Opposing this stand is the Boze-
man Welfare association, which, it is
understood is planning an organiza-
tion taking in large rural member
ship, the exact purpose of which has
not yet been made public.
The dates FOR the hearing of the
36 remaining city license cases in the
district court have not as yet been
set. ..:s..l - A.aa -e.-

JAILER PATTERSON
RESIGNS MARCH |

The resignation of Deputy Sheriff
and Jailer William H. Patterson, eff
fective March 1, has been rendered
and accepted by Sheriff Jim Smith
with the regrets of himself and every
member of the sheriff's force. Mr..
Patterson has had charge of the ac-
tual supervision of the county jail
for the past IA months, since Sheriff
Smith took charge of the office on
January 1, 1923. He has been faith
full and efficient officer and the re-
lations between himself and his fell
low officers has been so pleasant that
there is genuine regret in the sheriff's
office at his decision to give up his
position.
So far his successor has not been
appointed, although it is expected
Sheriff Smith will make public his
selection by the end of this week.
Mr.. Patterson's decision to quit the
sheriff's office was occasioned by the
fact that his presence is needed on
his ranch in the Flathead county,
about Ia miles north of Belgrade. The
place had been operated by Mrs. Pat
terson's brother, who has decided TO
give up farming.
Mr.. and Mrs. Patterson and their
three children expect to leave Boze-
man sometime during the first week
in March to make their home on their
ranch. They leave with the very best
and most cordial wishes of their many
friends in this city.
