Held for Murder.
By the Associated Press.

LOS ANGELES, August 23.-Con-

20 support the insanity defense of Kid
Mccoy, ex-pugiliSt, charged with the
murder of Mrs. Theresa Mors here
August II, was continued today by
attorneys, alienists and friends of the
alleged slayer.
Defense counsel made no secret of
the plan to save Mccoy from the
gallows by proving him insane. and
admitted that they were prepared to
show that at least two other mem
pers OF the former fighters family
were confined in institutions for the
treatment Of mental disorders.
Report of Paresis.
Arrangements were made TO send
additional alienists into the prisoners
cell in an effort to substantiate a
report made by DIR. Cecil Reynolds to
the effect that Mccoy is a victim
of incipient paresis, diseased con-
dltion of the brain frequently mani
tested by violent outbursts such as
the shooting orgy staged by Mccoy
in and near Mrs. MorS' antique shop
the day after her death
Friends also came forward with
offers to testify that Mccoy seemed
irrational to them months before the
shooting. He was inoriinately fond
of boastfng of his adventures with
women, they said, and often referred
to himself as the worlds greatest
lover" or the greatest lover in
history"

THE NOMINATION OF SMITH.

With Alfred E. Smith and young Theodore Roosevelt opposing each other for the governorship of New York, the political situation in that state springs into renewed animation. There is no doubt of Governor Smiths popularity with the people of New York. There is also no doubt that the Republicans are trading on the popularity not of their nominee, but of the departed Roosevelt. It will not work A capable and popular living man is surely possessed of greater appeal than the untried son of a great and popular man who has passed on. The name of Roosevelt was one to conjure with as long as the eminent and aggressive representative of that name was actively in the political arena. It is expecting too much of the people to ask them to accept the shadow for the departed substance.
 There is no doubt that the nomination of Governor Smith strengthens the hands of the Democrats in New York state. It probably means all the difference be- tween presidential success and presi- dential defeat in that state. If the Demo- crats are successful in New York, there will be all the more reason to believe that they will be successful throughout the country for in New York are centered many of the sentiments and influences that are potent throughout the country. With two strong men for the people of New York to support, Alfred E. Smith and John w. Davis, it looks very much as if the party's chances in that state were doubly safeguarded and secured.
