CHICAGO. August 4.-Dr. William
Healy of Boston, testifying in the
Franks hearing this morning testified
'hdt In MS Judgment there was some
steady impairment of Leopold's own
judgment concerning his ownseIf. par
ucularly his relationship to life. Pre-
Viously DR.. w. A. White of Washing
ton testified Richard Loebs personality
was undergoing a process of disintegra-
ton.
DR.. Healy asserted IAN incredibly alb
surd childish compact bound the bows
together and had a bearing on the ulu-
mate acts of the youths
Dr. Healy testified both bows had
told him they would again go through
with the Franks murder if their asso-
cations and the conditions were the
same. He said Loeb told him he found
nothing to deter him." and that Leopold
mad said he would commit the crime
again If it gave him pleasure
Court HaIts Report,
AS to the conditions of the child
ish compact" which had Influenced
the later lives of Leopold and Loeb
nothing was said in open court
Judge John r. -Caverly ruling with
Dr. Healy that the matter was un-
printable and having him recite it to
the court stenographers for the rec
ord.
Nothing that is unfit for publica-
ton is coming out here" Judge Cav
erly asserted.
Dr. Healy was the second alienist
to testify for the defense and his
testimony went in over State OBJ
lection, Judge Caverly again ruling
that the court had a right to listen
to evidence in mitigation of punish
ment, as he had ruled Friday when
the testimony of DR.. William A.
"hlte was permitted, marking a new
departure in Illinois Jurisprudence.
HeaIy to Take stand.
Another day of testimony by alien
lists was in prospect today.
DR.. Healy said he would take the
stand and, using the recently pub
llshed Hulburt-Bowman physical re-
port on the conditions OF Leopold and
Loeb, would testify to conclusions
similar to those drawn by DR.. Will
liam A. White of Washington, the de-
fense's first expert witness, who ad-
vanced the childhood phantasy"
theory with a merger of the person
alities of Loeb and Leopold as a rea-
son for the murder.
1t was the eleventh court day
The defense changed it's plans when
it was decided to have DR.. James
Whitney Hall and DR.. William J.
Hickson testify. 1t had been an
nounced that the testimony of alien
lists would be concluded with DR.. Will
liam ]. Healy of Boston and DR.. Ber-
nard Glueck of New York City.
Grove Prepares RebuttnI.
States Attorney Robert E. Grove is
preparing a rebuttal of the alienlsts'
testimony with a view of showing
that the prisoners are intellectually
capable of plotting just such a de-
fense as is being offered.
Mr.. Grove says he believes 1t pos
sible that these two intellectual su-
permen,' realizing that their lives de-
pended on mental responsibility,
had concocted such 4 series of re-
action as they knew an alienist Nigh:
seek as a basis for finding of alb
normality.
Clarence Darrow, chief defense
counsel, said yesterday that his two
clients are being tried by extraju
dicial agencies, not for the murder
to which they have pleaded guilty,
but for their wealth, their intellect,
their social position and score OF
other contributing circumstances
which would not weigh down an OBJ
scure murderer.
He said the public demand for the
blood of the boys was unfair.
