CHICAGO. Aug. IL (By The Asso-
it's lengthy cross examination of DR..
II. s. Hubert, last of the defense
al.enists, in the Franks hearing this
morning, laying its ground for intro
duction of its rebuttal testimony.
In preparing for the introduction
of DR.. Rollin L. Woodyatt, an expert
on endocrinology, Robert e. Grove,
states attorney, renewed his attack
on the theory of functional disorders
of the endocrine glands as set up by
DIR. II. S. Hubert, Chicago physchi-
artist, as responsible for the mental
sickness" of Nathan f. Leopold. Jr.,
and Richard Loeb, which permitted
them to kidnap and slay Robert
Franks.
DIR. Hubert, four days on the
stand, testified that persons suffering
from Endocrine disease are failures
in life and SO denominated Leopold.
He also testified, under questioning
by Mr.. Grove. that there was no rec
ognized leader in the study of endo-
crinology in America.
The defense would require approx
imately As minutes for its witnesses
remaining after DIR. Hubert, 1t was
indicated, and the moment of resting
its case depended upon how much
longer Mr.. Grove kept DR.. Hubert
under cross examination.
The defense was near the resting
point of its plea for mitigation of
punishment in the Franks hearing
when the eighteenth days session
opened before Judge Caverly this
morning. DR.. hubert, Chicago
phychiatrist, was on the stand for
the fourth day.
DR.. Hubert was to undergo fur
ther cross examination by Robert
q. Grove, states attorney, who yes
terday gained from the doctor ad-
mission that Nathan f. Leopold, Jr.,
and Richard Loeb, youthful kidnap-
ers-murderers of Robert Franks,
had lied to him in statements upon
which he based his conclusions, that
both youths were ''mentally SICK
when they killed the lad last May 21.
Mr.. Grove said he expected to
conclude his cross-examination OF
the mental pathologist before noon
and permit the defense to offer tes-
timony by it's remaining three or
four witnesses. The last evidence
offered by the defense will be testi-
mony of Allan and jacob Loeb,
brother and uncle of Richard. and
Forman Leopold, brother of Nathan
Jr., according to Clarence S. Darrow'
chief consel for the defense.
Mr.. Grove resumed his cross
examination with an interrogation
as to whether the stereoscoplc
method had been used in taking the
X-ray pictures, and was told 1t had
not. it being. matter of personal
preference as to which method was
used.
The next few questions dealt with
Leopold's reported sugar intoler-
ance. DR.. Hubert thumbed through
massive note book. found his In
dex, turned to the passage indicated
and slowly gave his answers.
The witness, testifying as to path.
ology found in Loeb, said that the
skin was that of an immature lad
that he still had three baby teeth
| that the blood pressure was below
normal, had tremors of the facia
muscles, definite tremors of the
! tongue, spasmodic movement o.
one eye, heart somewhat cubulal
| in shape and thyroid not quite pal
! pable.
The doctor did not complete hi'
| description of pathology found II
! LOEB as Judge Caverly remarked
| that the report had been submitted
| in evidence.
"Leopold was impulsive. WASH
| he ?'' asked Mr. Grove.
did he realize it?''
| "I expect not" was the response
| Grew of us have a perspective oil
| ourselves"
| The next question referred to Leo
pold having worked out "many con
| sistent plans for the future" DIR
| Hubert said that was all right, ex
! cept he wasn't certain as to "cons.s
| tert." but admitted eyes, you ar
right" when iMr. Grove pointed ou
that expression in the doctors writ
