"Peddling Perjury

Clarence Darrow, defense
counsel for Loeb and Leopold,
in the Chicago murder trial, said
in his plea for the defense:
every one of the psychiatrists
on both sides of this case told the
court that emotion furnishes the
urge and drive in life, that is,
with one exception, DR.. William

but an orator. DIR, Krohn, testi-
flying for the state, said that
they did have it; that his short
opportunity for examining them
was 'fine,' although the others
said it was not.
"But DIR. Krohn is not ply
sician. His license has been en-
ployed to go professionally in and
out of courts Staying his victims
without regard to their age or
sex or circumstances. E-r. Krohn
for sixteen years has been ped
ding perjury and we all know it."
That is an astounding state.

thus been rushed to the ports to ill
orders on contract, and to this de-
