This is the statement of Edward
J. Fogarty, warden at Indiana State
prison at Michigan City and one of
the foremost authorities on Grim
inology in the country.
Fogarty was bitter in a scathing
denunciation of the Loeb-Leapold
murder triel. declaring it was d
travesty on justice and that such
jurists as Judge Caverly were pros
tituting the American courts.
Fogarty believes the two young
slayers of Bobbie Franks should
have paid for their crime with death.
Slap at Law Enforcement
This opinion from Fogarty, who
has the reputation as one of the
most humane prison officials and
whose institution at Michigan City
is a model for others, is considered
a sharp slap at lax law enforcement

Supreme Court Justice
 Has Power to Recommend

Boston, May 24.-The full bench Of the state supreme court ruled today that it was within the power of a single justice of that court to author ize the bank commissioners of effect settlements with directors of insolvent trust companies. Some of the 'direc- tors of the closed Cosmopolitan Trust Company of Boston had objected to Bank Commissioner Aliens recom- mendation to the court that it would be for the best interest of the depos- itors to accept $150,o00 from Patrick II. Magrane of Lynn and s30,000 from Patrick F. O'Keefe in full set clement of their liability. The com missioner had sued all the directors to recover the full amount for which they were liable.
 Chief Justice Rugg in his opinion said that If any one of the directors prefers to buy his peace upon terms which a justice of this court finds just and reasonable fro mthe point of view of the depositors in the trust company. there is nothing in his le- gal relation to the other defendants which enables them to interpose an effective objection"
