CRIMINAL COURT ROOM
CHICAGO, Aug. 5.--At this after.
Moons session of the Leopold Loeb
murder hearingji States Atttrney
Grove asked DR.. William Healy,
Boston alienist, whether a person
with Il tremendously abnormal in
ner mental life' was insane.
: Upon the doctor S reply of eyes, -
Grove immediately demanded that
Justice Caveriy impanel a jury to
pass on the sanity of the boys.
Judge Refuses
Grove contended that the alien
ists' testimony showed that both
boys came under that characterize
tion. Justice Caverly, however, ov-
crruled the demand, stating that he
would consider only the definition
of legal insanity as laid down by
the supreme court of 1llionis.
Does the defendant Nathen Leo
pold or the defendant Richard Loeb
know the difference between right
and wrOng?" Grove asked, starting
from new angle.
Il think-yes=-they know the
difference" DR.. Healy responded.
Now, doctor, granting they
know the difference between right
and wrong, did they have the power
10 choose between right and doing
wrong?' ..
perhaps, but only in mea-
sure
"Now, let IS be specific. Did Ma
than Leopold on May 81, 1924, have
the power to choose between killing
Robert Franks or not killing him?'
Defense counsel Bachrach object
ed to this question ON the ground
that it involved legal insanity, as
laid down by the Illinois supreme
court. >t
The court sustained Bachrach and
the ordered n brief recess.
Justice CaverTv is much disturbed
by the flow of letters from all parts
of the country, some of- them de-
hanging; others urge the
insane asylum for the boys and still
others ask for mercy. Justice Cav
erly holds that the letter writer's are
open to charges of attempted intimi-
dation of the court.

won't knuckle down to losing SO much
money, nor letting you get away with
what was your own. If / was a card
man I'd bet we'll be held up inside the
next ten miles,"
Dinsdale was frankly concerned, al
though he tapped his guns and grimly
declared:
"Let them come. You just lay low
and when they heave In sight leave
it to me to receive them"
my old owl would know better than
to make such talk. He'd know the
agents would never give you chance
to pull gun. The man with the
sore head will tell his mates-and he
has men within call-that it'll be dan
gerous to give you show. We're
fools to be following this road to be
overtaken. Your horse is tired. Mine
isn't much good. They've got the best
horsefesh in the hills. This minute
they're probably pounding after US,
taking it easy SOS not to overhaul us
till we're quite few miles from Rapid
City,"
Dinsdale glanced over the winding
back trail. then said:
I'm not a fool even if / do wear
two belt-guns Well swing one side
IL you think best. / have quite lot
Of money on me in greenbacks and
decent pot Of gold. What's more, San
Juan Joe is in hurry to see me on
a business deal. I can run just as
smart as can fight"
"Goodl Now you make a medi-
cine talk" cried Scissors; and within
the next quarter of a mile they turned
down a narrow gorge that ran east.
They followed this for less than two
miles and then swung back until they
were moving parallel to the stage road
and separated from it by long ridge.
Pointing to the ridge Scissors an
nounced:
From the top of that one can look
down on the stage road. If we had
time to spare we could get up there
and see if the soreheaded man and his
friends are after u.s."
"Well take time. I'd like to be sure
If that's Mr.. Easy's game" declared
Dinsdale.
Scissors turned In toward the ridge
and galloped to clump of spruce and
secured his horse. Dinsdale did like
wise. AS they neared the crest Scis-
sors directed:
'sTake off your hat and play Indian.
Just below us the road narrows.

be Sorehead hasn't had time to fetch
his friends along. Maybe they're TAX

Jump us after we've camped, Wen

They cautiously lifted their heads
and pulled aside the grass They
watched for minute and then beheld
some objects rapidly advancing into
the middle distance. They were horse
men and riding furiously. Dinsdale
counted six. From their elevated po-
sition it was impossible to distinguish
one from another except the man who
rode next to the leader He wore
something white about his head.
