the witness stand, and of the ques-
tions that might be asked me-"
"Phantasies naturally take the line
of the mental attitude of the individ-
ual," DR.. Patrick testified.
eff man has artistic abilities, his
mind naturally follows subjects along
that line. If scientific, he may have
phantasies regarding scientific dis
covery.
\ No Sign of Mental Disease.
81 saw nothing in my contact with
the gentleman" said DR.. Patrick, in
reference to Leopold. whom he had
studied soon after arrest for murder
ing the Franks boy, 'to lead me to
suppose he had any mental disease"
Loeb and Leopold sat with stolid,
unchanged faces as they heard the
witness proclaim them sane. Leopold
rested his elbows on a chair arm and
cushioned his chin with his hand.
Loeb, hand in his lap, stared at the
witness. Occasionally, as has been
their habit throughout the nineteen
days of the hearing, the youths held
whispered conversations.
Leopold's statement of feeling of
athletic inferiority was perfectly nat
ural, DR.. Patrick said, and could not
be termed an inferority complex be-
cause Leopold actually was inferior
in athletics.
The state sought to have DR.. Patrick
challenge certain sections of the
Bowman Hubert" report used by the
defense alienists as basis Tor their
conclusions that Leopold and Loeb
are mentally sick. DR.. Patrick said
off-hand challenging any statements
in that report, and that he wished
to see it.
Couldn't Give Motive.
DR.. Patrick said that in an inter-
view with the youths, Loeb had said
in reply TO question as to the motive:
"God, / don't know" previously,
however testified DR.. Patrick, Loeb had
said in effect that it was for the thrill,
the experience and the money.
"Leopold stated first that he
thought he did it because Dick wanted
it done," sad DR.. atrick, ~ asked
him whether it was AN idea of match
ing wits with those of the police and
Leopold said yes that might have
had something to do with it'.p
Ransom had something to do with
it," declared DR.. Patrick "That is
explained by the way they had
planned to dispose of it and the ar
rangements they had made to hide it
and how it was to be spent. The
ransom was to be divided ffty-ffty,
the boys told me-"
Defense Releases Alienist.
The state released Dr.. Patrick for
cross examination but the defense re
fused until DR.. Patrick had completed
all his evidence. DR.. Patrick was ex
cused until the opening of the after
noon session to permit him to go over
the Hubert" report to 'pick
out what in his opinion was incon-
sistencies."
A. ten minute recess was ordered
by Judge Caverly, after which the
state was to have its second alienist
testify.
Jacob Franks, father of the murdered
boy, spent the recess reading through
stack of letters. His mail has been
burdened heavily with all sorts of let
tiers since Bobby was slain, letters
of coincidence, threats and begging
letters.

Suppose Henry Ford or some other
industrial genius markets inexpensive
and safe airplanes, enabling people
to live far out in the country, flying
back and forth to work in town.
transportation is the chief obstacle
to such system.
If. the airplane overcomes this OBJ
stacle, there'll be a revolution in land
values, city properties dropping, coun-
try sites increasing. If you're buy
ing land to make your descendants
rich, the city may not be the best

ated with the NJ. N. Mayehoff Co.,
for the past three years, left with
Mrs. Mckee yesterday afternoon by
automobile for Norwalk, Conn.
In anticipation of big business It
seemed advisable that Mr.. Mckee

gusta branch to the main office in
Norwalk. 1t is with deep regret that
the many friends of both MIR. and
Mrs. Mckee bid them farewell. They
have loved Augusta and have fitted
into tn community life like real New
Englanders, though the greater part
of their life has been passed in Bal
timore.
In order to wish them God speed.
and much happiness in their new
home. the Goodwill family gathered
at the shop on Monday evening and
served one of their famous chicken
suppers in honor of the departing
guests. After dinner speeches were
in order and Rev Ralph F. Lowe en-
tertaind those assembled with inter-
esting and amusing anecdotes. He
also paid a high tribute to MIR. Nc
Kee and spoke Of the deep affection
held for him among his many friends.
To these remarks Mr.. Mckee grace
fully responded.
Later in the evening the piano and
saxaphone made things lively ard
everyone followed the leader" while
Mr., Mckee unwound n cobweb which
went through the building from floor
to floor, prizes being concealed
which contributed to the fun of the
occasion and proved great surprise.
The organization Of which Mr..
Mckee has been such an important
member. presented him with a hand
some leather brief case as a parting
souvenir in the hopes that as time
goes on and the years ripen he will
have the inspiration to fill it with
his own productions.
