Alec Declares Chief Is "Fine
Man, Not Stuck Up,''
Davis Home in Pretentions
Setting ~
BY MAURICE HENLE


GLEN COVE, n. Y, Aug. T.
The big moment in the life of Alec
Lasllowsky is at hand.
Alec is the gardener on the estate
Of John W. Davis, Democratic presi-
Dental nominee, in this pretty Long
Island suburb. He trims the shrub
berry and mows the lawn; he sprin
<les the vast stretches of green and
keeps the garden the way it should
be kept.
And now John w. Davis may
move into the White House down on
Pennsylvania avenue, Washington,
d. c., L. S. A. And the White House
down on Pennsylvania avenue has
a big lawn to take care of. And
Alec has heard of that lawn. And
he is anxious to tackle the job of
keeping it in trim.
Alec is a Pole. For five years he
has worked as gardener for Davis.
He fine man." smiles Alec.
Comes out sometimes and talks
about the lawn. He very big man.
No stuck up at all"
And Alec" his interviewer said,
"How about the White House lawn?
Wouldn't you like to keep it in trim,
eh?"
"I like it very much"
Though Alec doesn't know it, the
White House lawn isn't a bit more
difficult to keep than the Davis
estate lawn. Both are vast affairs.
Each stretches away seemingly for
ever, and is we'll dotted with shady
trees and abundant shrubbery. Each
has a beautiful garden with a riot
of color.
The Davis estate here is one Of the
most spacious in a community that
has nothing but wonderful places"
as they are known. in these parts.
The estates are enclosed by walls
aud the approach to the houses is
along private driveway half a mile
long.
The Davis house itself is typical
Of the country. it is three stories,
of frame stucco. There is nothing
pretentious about it, except its set
ting. It's the kind of a place one
knows would be comfortable.
and continued testifying as to his
conclusions regarding Leopold, that
defendant and Loeb were in a head
to-head, smiling conversation.
DR.. Glueck's testimony at this
point fell into line with evidence
previously presented by Drs. White
and Healy.
Devoted to Mother
"Leopold's exposition of his phi.
losophy to me, in the face of his in
telligence and the environment III
which h. grew up, brought me to
ask if he did not believe it was
leading him to destruction" testi,
fled DIR. Glueck. He said yes, but
it didn't make any difference.
He said, in event he went to the
gallows, 4 he wanted to show the
world that he had been consistent to
the very end and had shown no
change in his reasoning with him
self
''Leopold's relations with Loeb l
cannot understand, went on the
doctor. He said he was devoted to
him and was jealous of his water
and food because he could not be,
come 40 close to him as those inbred
conditions"
Leopold's devotion to his mother
and aunt were almost like that for
the Madonna. DR.. Glueck said. He
frequently so characterized them,
holding them up for devout wor-
ship"
Direct examination OF DR.. Glueck
was completed at 1910 p. m. and
States Attorney Grove began cross
examination.
Recess Is Taken
In closing his direct testimony.
DR.. Glueck asserted that Leopold is
of distinct paranoid personality
and SIS developing definite course
of paranoid psychosis." 1t was testi-
fled Tuesday that ''psychosis" is
new terml for insanity"
Loeb is disintegrating mentally"
DR.. Glueck said.
The first question Mr.. Grove di-
rected to DR.. Glueck on cross -exami-
nation was as to the day on which
Loeb first admitted striking the
Franks boy. The witness referred
to his notes and said it was not in
cluded in those he had in his hand
and it would require some time to
search out the particular one want
ed.
DR.. Glueck found notation say
ing profound lack of adequate emo
tional response" He said that was
sufficient notation for him to con-
clude that it was the one referring
10 the fatal blow. He said. how
ever, it was his first notation in that
book and that there were 6thers.
Judge Caverly then ordered a recess
directing DR.. Glueck to return pre-.
pared to meet Mr.. Groves cross -ex-
animation.
Mr.. barrow said just before the
hearing was resumed this afternoon
that DR.. GlueCk would be the last
mental expert called until after some
