CRIMINAL COURT ROOM. CHI
CAGO. July discharges of at.
tempted intimidation Of Justice John
r. Caverly" by a State witness, was
made today by Chief Ddefense At
torney Clarence Darrow at the ju-
dicial hearing Of Richard Loeb and
Nathan Leopold for the murder Of
Robert Franks.
After more than an hour of mer.
cfless crcss-examination of Police
Sergeant James J. Cortland, Darrow
suddenly shot at him this question:
Don't you know that this story
Of yours Of a friendly judge is a pure
fabrication given for the purpose of
intimidating this court?"
No, it is not" Cortland replied.
During his testimony Friday, Gort-
land declared that during one Of his
conversations with Leopold, the de
fendant had said he felt if he was
brought before a friendly judge he
would get off with life Imprisonment.
The examination Of Cortland by
the defense represents the first seri-
Gus effort to break a link in the
states chain Of evidence.
Officer Quizzed
With his leonine head hanging
forward on stopped shoulders, Oar
now pounded at Gortland's testi-
mony. Again and again he took the
officer over the ground covered in
his investigation and brought out
the fact that considerable Of the tes-
timony he gave had not been written
down at the time of the conversa-
ton, but had been dug from his
memory. Darrow demanded Gort-
lands official report and found It did
not contain a reference to "a friend
ly Judge"
Darrow also brought out that not
until two days ago had Cortland
mentioned this phase Of Nathan s
alleged remark to States Attorney
Grove. Cortland said. however. he
had mentioned the eincident to fel-
low officers and newspaper re-
porters.
Cortland admitted he did not
write down the incident at time of
the alleged occurrence, but made
notation On it later from memory.
Attorney Darrow for the defense
was asked after adjournment
whether he intended to put Loeb
and Leopold. or either Of them, on
the stand to controvert Sergeant
Gortlaind's testimony regarding the
friendly judge" conversation.
Darrow replied: Il certainly have
no such intentions"
The court recessed at 11:55 until
Monday at 10 a. m.
Monday, Prosecutor Grove is ex
pected to submit the two signed con.
fessions of the murderers and be,
fore closing his case will call sew
eral alienists to testify that Leopold
and Loeb are sane, rational and re
sponsible.

IMPORTANT ELECTION

The election of one or more
members of each of the district
school boards will take place in
June. So much of the success es-
pecially of the small rural school
depends on the board that the Ipeo-
pie of the district need to be very
careful in selecting it. One I'M
worthy member may so interfere
with the school that it will be al
most worthless for a number of
years. A great deal has been writ
ten and said about just what kind
of person makes good board
member. Certainly the usual char
acteristics of good citizen such
as honesty. fairness, kindness. and
public spirit are necessary. There
is the teacher to he selected. The
beard needs to know where to 20
or to whom to write in order to
find teachers, what personal quail
ties make for successful classroom
work. and what salary must be Of
Tered to secure a competent teach
er. The board ought to know how
to attend to the affairs of the dis
t'lct in a 'business-like way. This
means that it will he able to make
up budget, know how much
money there is for the year, where
the money comes from, how it
should be spent, and will keen
careful accounts. Moreover, school
trustees should be men and wo-
men wise enough to leave profess
sional teaching matters to the
teacher. Finally they must be the
kind OF folk that the children of
the community can respect.-Car-
son IN. d. Press.

Then one by one she changed all

CONTEMPT FOR THE CROWD

| John w. Davis, former ambas
sador to Great Britain, graduate
OF Washington and Lee University
former congressman and former
solicitor general Of the United
States, recipient Of numerous hon
orary degrees from universities in
this country and abroad. is Dem
ocrat OF parts. He has been wide
~ mentioned as a man highly fit
for his party's nomination for
President, and is member Of a
legal firm in New York whose
clients are important in business
and industrial enterprises. 1t has
been suggested that he retire from
his present professional connec-
tons in order to strengthen the
possibilities OF his nomination.
His reply to this is as follows:
Amy lawyer who surrenders
his independence by trimming
his professional course to suit
the gusts Of popular opinion,
in my judgment, not only dis
honors himself but degrades
his great profession. | tell
You in candor that would not
pay this price for any honor
in the gift Of man"
Thus Mr.. Davis calls to public
one thing which makes
many men of distinction and great
capacity for valuable public serv-
ice. consistently refuse tenders of
political favor. Demagogues get
into public life by playing up to
the prejudices and ignorance Of
political groups who preach that
wealth and business and success
unfit men for service to the com
mon people. when exactly the con-
trary is true. They promote dis
tenNpers and errors among the peo-
pie, falsely charge that business is
dishonest, and that lawyers par
ticularly who professionally serve
great enterprises are not worthy
OF trust.
1t is in fact integrity, honor and
ability which win for fine lawyers
the confidence of great business.
John w. Davis is high in profess
sional standing because of his adj
mirable qualities, and it is because
OF his fidelity to duty that the
rats and vermin, the skunks and
crooks of politics, seek to inflame
the ignorant crowd against him.
What he has said is of especial
significance to William G. McAdoo.
