Companions Escape-New York Has Epidemic of Violence-Burgiars Beat Up Woman; Police Figure in Gun Fights and Stock Broker Mysteriously Shot

East Orange, N. J., July S1.--one bandit was killed, one escaped, and a mall clerk was wounded twice when he frustrated an attempted mall rob. ! bery at the Lackawanna railroad sta- ton early today.
 Clerk is Wounded Eugene Stack, 23, mail clerk em- ployed at the local post office, is in the Orange memorial hospital with bullet wounds in. the right thumb and the right leg as the result of his re- pulse of the bandits, who had, it is believed, tried to steal mail pouch carrying federal reserve packages.
 The escaped bandit got away in a taxi which is believed to have been driven by confederate.
 Stack, who has been attached to the local post office but six months, as his regular duty went to the station to meet the early newspaper train and had taken off six pouches, including tho federal reserve bag. when two men got off the train and limped to- ward him. Stack was bling the sacks on an open elevator to descend to the street floor. Near him was Assistant Baggage Master Golden B. Treadwell.
 Stack Returns Fire
 The bandits opened fire without warning and 1t was immediately re- turned by Stack. One bandit fell dead at the top of the stairway and plunged to the bottom. The other fled to the street where Stack saw him enter the taxi and be rushed away.
 Stack walked across to the post of five where an ambulance was sum- moned and he was taken to the hos pitnl.
 According to the police check up, the two bandits had boarded the newspaper train at Newark, where they bought tickets. Search for the escaped bandit and his alleged &C., complice has been unavailing.
 No official estimate of the value of the federal reserve mail pouch could be obtained until check-up is made.
 Later it was discovered that the federal reserve mall shipment had
 
 the newspaper train and did not ar rive until later.
 Stack said that the two bandits staggered toward him as though in toxicated and pretending to argue about the location of street. After he had shot one of them, the bandit dropped his gun as he fell down the stairway. A 14-inch piece Of lead pipe, tapcd on one end. police whis- tie. and ss2 in cash were found on the dead man. He was identified by John Daly, substitute letter carrier as a man he had seen lettering about the Lackawanna station yesterday. Dalv said the stranger asked him questions about the time that post office men are paid.

ARGUMENTS STILL CONTINUE
Most of roday's Time At Trial Is Taken Up On Debate Of Admission of Evidence Regarding Defsndants' Mentality.

ng The Associated prsss Chicago. July Si,.-ore Of the cases which Robert F. Grove. now states attorney, heard when he was a judge, and Clarence g, Darrow. attorney for the defense. was cited today in the Franks trial when the state tried to maintain that evidence Of deprayity was not admissible in mitigation Of punishment for Nathan l.. Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb.
 The citation brought a heated es- change between Messrs ~"Hws end Darrow today. the form' @I... he had not heard sue a. mitigation of punishms .
 "oh. yes you did" .- ! Darrow.
 But the defendant was hanged" said Mir. Grove.
 "Yes. but you sentenced him." re- torted Mir. Darrow.
 The courtroom rang with laughter. Leopold and Loeb joining. The dem- onstration faded quickly under the frown of Judge Caverly.
 Just before this incident, Judge Caverly had turned state argument Into query against the prosecution's own position. Thomas Marshall, le- gal scholar of the states attorneys staff, had read a decision which held that moral depravity was not an evi- dence of insanity.
 Then If 1t Is not such evidence and does not tend to prove 1t, can 1t not be heard in mitigation?" asked the court, adding:

 Detailed Account The hearing before Judge John R. Caverly to determine the fate of Ma than Leopold. Jr., and Richard Loeb, -slayers of Robert Franks, was set today for an opening thirty minutes later than previously. This served only to increase the crowd clamoring for entrance.
 The early part of the session promised little more than that to ap- pease the interest of the visitors, since Thomas Marshall indictment and legal research expert for Robert E Grove, states attorney, left unfinish- ed yesterday his citing of precedents from other commonwealths to prevent Judge Caverly hearing as a mitigating circumstance the testimony of various alienists called by the defense. pr. William White of Washington, D, C., rested comfortably four and half hours on the witness stand yesterday while the state and the defense argued as to the admissibility of the evidence the prosecution thought he would be called upon to give.

American agriculture at last seems

The reality is almost within sight, the

We may have not only competition
