ROUNDUP
CASE
PugiIist Declares Charges BY
Canon Chase Are Frame.
up-CIash in Court
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN.
International Newa Service.

NEW YORK, Aug. 19.-Luis
Firpo, "Wild Bull of the Pampas,"
won the decision in his first battle
in a court room today.
The South American heavy
weight pugilist, through his law
yer, Eyman Bushel, obtained a
postponement of the hearing of
perjury charges against Firpo
until September 20, which is nine
days after the date on which
Firpo is scheduled to battle
Harry Wills, negro heavyweight,
at Boyle's Thirty Acres in New
Jersey.
Argument Grows Heated
Firpo, dressed in gray from head
to foot, appeared in the court room
Of United States Commissioner
Hitchcock in answer to an affida.
Wit filed by the Reverend William
II. Chase, Of New York, charging
Firpo with perjury in connection
with his recent entry into the
United States and asking a warrant
for Firpo's arrest.
Commissioner Hitchcock's deci.
sion followed a lengthy argument,
which at times waxed hot, between
Attorney Bushel and Doctor Chase
The commissioner first set the
hearing for tomorrow but Bushel
objected, asking the hearing be set
for September 20, on the ground
that Fripo's rights would be in.
fringed by setting the date so early.
'Firpo is the victim of frame
up," Bushel declared to Commits
sioner Hitchcock. ut even looks
like this may be attempted black
mail.
Canon Chase made this affida.
Wit without having seen the records
in the deportation hearing at Ellis
Island. If he has committed per-
jury, l as a citizen, will demand
his arrest"
Chase Speaks Up.
The Reverend Doctor Chase had
charged that Firpo had perjured
himself by declaring to the i'm.
migration authorities that he had
only a casual acquaintance" with
Miss Blanca Lourdes, who came
from South America on the same
ship as did Firpo.
He also said he did not propose
to countenance a double standard
OF morals in connection with the
immigration law, inasmuch as Miss
Lourdes had been kept out of the
United States and Firpo had been
Let In.
How does Chase know what
Firpo said at the immigration
hearing?" Bushel demanded.
Canon Chase spoke up:
II received this information in a
letter from the Assistant Acting
Secretary Of Labor in reply to a
query had sent to him."
The commissioner said he be-
lieved 1t would be advisable to give
Firpo a chance to line up his de-
Tense and therefore, he would set
the case for September 20.
Firpo sat stolidly throughout the
proceedings. Apparently he did not
know what was transpiring in the
court room. When the court
announced its decision Firpo's
friends started to cheer and the
first smile broke on Firpo's face.

MCCOY GOES

JAIL
Shakes Cell Bars, YeIIs and
Charges Plot to Beat Him :.
In Ring Battle

LOS ANGELES, CAL, Aug. 49,
AS District Attorney Asa Keyes
went before the county grand jury
here today asking an indictment
against "Kid" Mccoy for the MUIR
der Of Mrs. Teresa MorS, Mccoy
went on a rampage in the city Jail.
The former fighter, judged sane
by alienists yesterday created a
near riot at the Jail, and accord
ing to jailers and police detectives,
acted like a demented person.
Shakes Cell Bars.
He violently shook the cell bars
and refused to answer questions as
to what he was doing.
Later he told officers who hur-
ried to the Jail that he had been
put in "a padded cell because they
were afraid he would win the mid
dleweight championship of the
world"
Bits of paper in strange forms
were found on the floor of McCoy's
cell and when these were taken
from him the former pugilist cried
and begged for their return, police
said.
Yelled in Night.
McCoy's strange actions were first
noticed by the jailers. it was
learned, shortly after midnight when
he woke the entire Jail yelling and
shouting and beating on the bars.
He was Quieted for a time, but
later started the noise again and
continued it despite the efforts OF
the jailers.
Mccoy will be taken to the re-
ceiving hospital for an examination
and put under restraint if he be-
comes violent, the police stated.
McCoy's own sister, Mrs. Jen-
ME Thomas, who has already told
the authorities her brother cen
fessed to her few hours after
Mrs. Mors died that he was
"afraid" he had killed a woman,
was expected to be, against her
will, the States chief witness be-
fore the grand jury.
Body Stripped Of Gems.
Charges of attorneys for the

OF jewels had been stripped from
Mrs. Mors' body were today con-
nected by the authorities with Mrs.
Thomas statement Mccoy pos
aessed" several pieces Of valuable
jewelry when he visited her at 2
o'clock the morning following Mrs.
Mors' death.
Mrs. Thomas story originally was
told in incoherent fashion, It was
stated, and II wa not clearly es-
tablished whether Mccoy brought
the jewels with him the morning
he visited his sister or whether
he had left them with her previous
ly. Mrs. Thomas said the jewelry
had been given her brother by
Mrs. Mors. District ATTORNEY Keyes
said he would establish TODAY lust
when Mccoy came into possession
Of the jeweIry.

POSITIVE
BOYSARE:
SANE
Attorneys Fail to Shake His
Statements - Summing
Up to Start Soon
By GEORGE R. HOLMES,
International News Service.

CRIMINAL COURT, CHICAGO.
Aug. ia slashing finish was
supplied today for the eighteen
days battle that science and
scientists have waged in Judge
John r. Caverly's courtroom as
to whether Nathan F. Leopold, jr..
and Richard A. Loeb, the nine
teen-year-old college prodigies,
were or were not mentally dis
eased" when they attempted to
commit the worlds perfect crime
by kidnapping and killing little
Bobby Franks.
With Doctor William o. Krohn,
the last of the great array Of
alienists on the stand, defense at
torneys launched a particularly
savage cross-examination, designed
to break down the doctors posi-
tive statement that Leopold and
Loeb are mentally sound.
Summing Up to Start
1t was announced by the attor-
neys on both sides when court
opened that no morel witnesses
would be put on and that after the
defense's conclusion u Doctor
Krchn's cross-examination, summing
up probably will begin with the
State leading off. The expectation
was that this might bee.n late this
afternoon.
Formal denial was made today by
States Attorney Grove. that he had
violated the Constitutional rights OF
either Leob or Leopold by taking
statements and having cross .exanni-
nations made of them prior to
them securing counsel.
This charge was laid at the
States attorneys dool by Clarence
barrow, chief of the boys defense.
Groves denial of the charge was
made in an oral statement TO Judge
Caverly. Darrow let 1t go unchRl-
lenged.
The cross-examination Of Doctor
Krohn today was again i'm the
hands Of Benjamin Bachrach, whose
quarrels with Doctor Krohn on the
stand were so violent yesterday that
Judge Caverly adjourned court in
their midst.
Bachrach went right back this
morning to an ironic probing into
the witnesses's career. Doctor krohn
had been camp psychiatrist at Camp
Travis, Texas during the war and
he had examined anywhere from
sixteen to forty patients a day for
long periods, he said.
Gould you handle that many
patients efficiently and determine
their sanity or insanity" asked
Bachrach sarcastically.
"Yes, SIR
The alienist then explained that
many of the draftees that came In
to camp were "of the Stacker vari-
ETY." and simulated insanity.
ut took us only ten minutes in
some cases to find they were fax
ing and malingering - he said.
Bachrach was insistent upon know
ing just how long Doctor Krohn
gave to an examination in the
army.
Attorney Gains Little.
They argued over it, and finally
agreed that seldom did the exam
nations extend over three hours.
II only recall one case that took
over three hours" said Krohn.
Bachrach's line of questioning
was designed to emphasize the brew
ity and the superficiality OF the ex.
aminations by which the defense
contends the States alienists found
Loeb and Leopold sane and normal.
Bachrach developed little In his
probing into Doctor Krohn's army
record and switched over TO tho
