"Emotionally the boys are in an
infantile state" said DR.. White in
his testimony in the case. Loeb
is about four or five years in that
respect and Leopold not more than
from five to seven.
Both, too, started with feeling
Of inferioritY but while Dickie sue
cumbed to this and developed anti
social tendencies, Babe defended
himself consciously building up a
feeling Of intellectual superiority,
fortified by philosophy of me-
chanism in which there was no
God and emotion was stifled."
The big riddle Of the case as to
which boy actually stunned and
strangled young Franks was not
solved by the doctor. Mr.. Grove
asked him about it on cross exami-
nation but the expert said he had
not taken up that aspect Of the
crime with his subjects.
1T really made no difference as
to- their guilt" he explained:
1T must have been pickie," said
DR.. White: -.
Loeb visibly gulped' when this
came out. He leaned, forward and
appeared to grip himself Leopold
looked thoughtful and stroked his
chin. $50 -.- co.
The. doctor said the homicide
could not be understood unless the
two, were examined in the light Of
their relations with each other"
'Dickie. with his inferiority com
plex, developed defiant anti-sDeial
tendencies" he said. "He needed an
audience and in reality Babe was
that audience. In Dickie's phan-
tastes his imaginary criminal gang
was his audience. But Babe CON
stantly reinforced Dickie where he
needed .bolstering up.
Babe also needed complement
and he picked up Dickie. They took
turns in playing the parts of in
ferior and superior-king and slave.
Their phantasy lived and fit into
each other with almost devilish in
genuity"
DR.. White stated that in the
Franks case it was Babe who evolv-
ed the alibi stories that were to
save them if adhered to. IL was
Babe, too, he said, who insicted
upon the last telephone call to Jacob
Franks, father of the slain boy, in
a final effort to collect the $4,000
ransom money.
Dickie Gave Up First
"Dickie, by this time, was con-
was useless to run further risk"
said DR.. White.
In his outlines of the boys lives,
DR.. White dwelt in Loeb's case upon
the influences Of rather foolish,
somewhat prudish and austere gov
erness," who cared for Dickie about
six years, starting from the time he
was four. The suppressions which
this woman forced on her young
charge kept Loeb from leading a
normal child life, the doctor said,
and left him totally uhprepared for
adolescence.
Illustrating further the influence
of this governess, Mr.. Bacharach
read into the record a letter written
by her in 1922 in which she urged
her former charge to "hold logic
and reason firmly in your grip
Another sentiment was: "The laws
of nature are inexorable."
Leopold, according to the doctor
suffered from ian inferiority com.
plex" as a child. being small in

for the start of his education to q
co-educational institution in which
only two Of the pupils were boys

Washington
RITES FOR HARDING

Washington, Aug. 2-President
Coolidge completed his first year in
office, sticking to his desk through
most Of the day as he has through
out the entire period.
President Harding died a year ago
today at San Francisco and Mr.. Cool
idge, then vice-president, took the
oath of office early next morning at
his fathers home in Plymouth, Yer

better judge of that than himself.

DEVELOPS RAPIDLY

Washington, Aug. 2.-Indications
that black rust is developing rapid
ly in late wheat in parts of the
spring belt, especially in North Da-
kota, are contained in dispatches to
the weather bureaus weather and

"The Marquis variety appears to
be the favorite host for the dis
ease," said the Bureau announce
ment. "The extent Of damage from
this infection will depehd largely
on the weather during the next 10
days, as the spring wheat Scrop is
ripening rapidly and much will be
harvested by that time. Last year
black rust infection of spring
wheat, occurring just before the
crop matured, caused heavy damage
and greatly reduced yields"

HEARINGS To OPEN
0NP.E.P. CO. VALUE
Justice Stafford, in Equity, to
Start New Proceedings
Tuesday.

Justice Stafford in Equity Division
2 will begin Tuesday the revaluation
of the property of the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company under the recent
decision of Chief Justice Mccoy hold
ing the court has this power. Four
days have been set aside for argu-
ment of counse, and the presentation
Of such evidence as may be adduced
on both sides.
Under a stipulation, the question Of
the disposition of the fund of $4,000
600 impounded by the company is to
ton suit. The company will be re-
CURED to continue impounding the
difference between the 10 cents per
kilowatt-hour collected from the con-
sumers and the price of electric cur
rent fixed by the latest order Of the
Public Utilities Commission.
1t is not known whether any new
evidence will be submitted either by
the company or by the commission in
addition to that taken at the hearing
before the commission in 1916 and
which was before Justice Gould when
he upheld the valuation made by the
commission. There are 5000 pages
of that evidence, and the record of
the case in the Court Of Appeals filled
1900 pages.
DccISlOn was lkcVcrscu.
The court of appeals reversed the
decision of Justice Gould and re-
manded the case because the commits
sion had not taken into consideration
the prices of labor and material pre-
vailing at the time of the hearing.
The commission sought to get a re-
view of this finding in the United
States Supreme Court, but that tri-
bunal held that it lacked jurisdiction
The company then opposed a re-
valuation by the court, claiming that
only the commission could make the
valuation from which an appeal to
the court might lie. Chief Justice Nc
Coy overruled this claim of the COM
pany and directed a revaluation by
the court.
Corporation Counsel Stephens and
Special Counsel Conrad H. Syme will
present the case for the commission,
while the power company will be rep
resented by Attorneys John F. Bar
bour and S. r. Bowen.

Ellen Num- Of Danville, Va, thirty

a heavy paper bag, with a framed
diploma from a New York detective
training school, walked into police
headquarters yesterday with all the
confidence in the world that she'd
have a job as a detective before she
left. She was disappointed.
Though she had received a sixteen

Thayer. Son G. Co., to rescind a con-
tract for the disposal of $500, 900
worth OF bonds and for the return of
$4,000 said to have been advanced to-

court is told that in April, 1928, an
associate of the plaintiffs in Michi-
gan received a letter signed by the
defendant, Lewis, soliciting the fin
ancing Of commercial enterprises and
as a result negotiations were taken UP
and the expense money requested was
promptly paid and a contract was en-
