V\ hen court opened Friday morning
there were indications that the case
would be given to the jury during
the afternoon. The State had prac
tically concluded its rebuttal when
court recessed Thursday afternoon and
the presentation of this evidence re
quired only about an hour this morn
ing.
After the defendant declared on the
stand "Übursday that George Vogler
Yvas driving the car at the time of the
accident, his mother and father, Mr.
and Mrs. J. H. Leonard, took the
stand, followed by their son, Harry.
They said the first time they saw
Iveonard after the accident he told
practically the same story he told on
the witness stand.
George F. Kluttz, of Concord, was
one of the defense witnesses and he
stated that when he reached the scene
of the wreck soon after it "occurred
Vogler and Mrs. Claude W. Davis
were together. He said Leonard was
not on the front seat of the car and
that he heard Vogler say to Mrs.
Davis, “Dearie, let’s get ajvay from
here.”
Vogler was the first rebuttal wit
ness for the State. He said he drove
Leonard’s car from Charlotte to Sal
isbury but turned it over to Leonard
at Salisbury. He * denied that he
drank home brew at the Davis house
before the party left Salisbury, de
claring that Mr. an<l Mrs. Davis said
they would ride with Leonard, who
had beeli drinking tmfl that Leonard
asked him to drive.
He did not drive toward Derita,
Vogler said, but went directly from
Charlotte to Salisbury. In Salisbury,
he said, Iveonard bought some liquor
and it was after drinking some of
this that Leonard -demanded the keys
of the car.
Vogler said he carried Mrs. Davis
from the wreck because he saw her
first after the crash and because she
said, “I am dying.” He did not look
for Davis and Leonard he said on
cross-examination.
Under cross examination he said
his home had been raided since the
wreck and a quantity of home brew
found there. He also said he had been
previously indicted for violating the
prohibition law. He also said that
he had been discharged by the Sea
board Railway following the accident.
He denied that he called Mrs. Davis
“Dearie.” and said he had never seen
Mr. Kluttz until the latter stood be
fore him in the court room.
Davis corroborated Vogler, adding
that he did not see the Gentry car be
fore the crash because he had laid
his head on his wife’s shoulder and
was dozing when the accident oc
curred. He said at the time he and
his wife were on, the back seat of
the car and I-eonard was driving.
On cross examination he admitted
that his home had been raided and
119 bottles of home brew seized. He
also admitted that he had been in
court several times for being intoxi
cated. one time for gambling and that
he got drunk whenever he wanted to.
Mrs. Davis likewise corrohated Vog
ler and her husband. She said she
pleaded with Leonard in Salisbury
not to drive but that he insisted he
would be careful and she agreed to
i ride with him. She and her husband
at first had told Leonard they would
catch g train home, she said but when
Leonard agreed to be careful they
consented to ride with him. At the
time of the wreck, she said, she was
on the rear seat with her husband.
She said Vogler did not call her
“dearie” and denied that he had his
arm around her. ■'
R. O. Bollen and Glenn Walker,
the former now in the U. S. Army
and the latter a resident of Kann'ap
| olis. said they saw the Chrysler before
!it struck the Gentry car. It was
going about 75 miles an hour they
said. The witnesses said they were
about 200 yards from the cars when
they crashed and that when they
reached the accident they saw no one
accept the occupants of the car. They
; did not see either Mrs. Davis or Vog
i ler. they said.
Bollen said he could smell whiskey
when he got t 6 the Leonard car and
that he aided Leonard in getting out
of the car, Leonard told him he was
driving the car. Bollen said Leonard
crawled out of the rear door of the
Chrysler.
Walker said he heard Leonard tell
Rev. C. X. Gentry, father of the dead
girl, that he was driving the Chrysler.
After Mr. Gentry had accused Leon
ard of killing his daughter, Walker
said, Leonard replied, “To hell with
your damn girl. I don’t care anything
about her.” He said he did not see
Vogler or Mrs*. Davis.
James Miller, of Kannapolis, also
testified that he heard Leonard curs
ing before Mr. Gentry. He said Leon
ard declared at the time that he was
driving the car.
Roy Young, of Mooresville, was the
last witness of the day. He said he
and a party of three friends were
riding on the highway, headed south,
when the Leonard car passed them.
The car passed his car, Young said,
when about 50 yards from the scene
of the crash.
When the cars crashed, Young said,
he asked the driver of the car he was
in to stop and he ran to (he wrecked
cars. He saw no one else then and
believed he was the first there. La*er
he said two men ran up, and he
thought these were Bollen and Walker.
He saw Vogler and Mrs. Davis as
soon as he reached the Chrysler, he
said. They walked him and
he never saw them again.
In the car, which was turned up
side down, he saw Leonard and Davis,
Leonard’s pants leg, he testified, was
held by a rod that looked like it was
located just behind the front door.
Leonard's body was lying behind the
rear of the front seat. He helped
free Leonard’s leg and left him when
he saw he was not seriously hurt.
Davis was unconscious at the time,
and Bollen and Walker testified that
they put him in a car and brought him
to the Concord Hospital.
Young, Bollen and Walker alt
testified that they reached the Gentry
car first but that Mr. Gentry told
them to go on to the other car and
help the people there first. Miller
said he aided in the search for the
dead girl, who was thrown about 30
feet from the car. He found her body
with a cloak over her badly mangled
head, he said. .
Argument by counsel was started
Friday morning. H. S. Williams speak
ing first for the State. The arguments
are limited to two hours for each side.
GIRL AT ALBEMARLE
VICTIM OF ATTACKER
Sheriffs Forces Making Intensive
Search For Unknown Man Who As
sailed Her.
Albemarle, Aug. 19. Excitement
ran high here this morning and the
town is still agog over a perpetrated
crime by an unknown assailant upon a
13-year-old girl, well known employe,
at one of the local textile mills here
yesterday about 12:30 o’clock. Offi
cers kept the affair quiet here yester
day and last night in the hopes of
being able to capture the man. Sher
iff R. X. Furr and deputies renewed
the hunt this morning .and are ran
sacking Stanly and adjoining counties
in a fervid attempt to apprehend the
man.
The story as told*by the girl to of
ficers was to the effect that she had
been to lunch and was on her way
back to the mill and while jiassing
through a cornfield was ruthlessly at
tacked by an unknown white man.
The girl put a sharp fight but was
thrown to the grouqd in several places
where terrific struggles wore engaged
in, making indentures and holes in the
soft mud that were still'visible today.
The girls clothing was torn in
places, but she is said to have suffer
ed no serious bodily harm aside from
exhaustion and nervousness. Follow
ing the attack she hurried home and
told her mother and officers were
summoned immediately. Sheriff Furr
stated this morning that the search
would continue for the unknown man
until he was captured or until all
hopes were gone.

THE CONCORD TIMES
HOW TO LIVE 126 YEARS.
Review of Reviews.
Dr. Serge Voronoff believes that the
average healthy human being should
live 125 years. He it is who would
make old men young again by means
of his now famous monkey gland oper
ation. None of his patients has yet
reached the century-and-a-quarter
•nark—it is too soon for that. But
Dr. Voronoff insists that his work
has restored a measure of youth to
old persons; and in a series of articles
for the London Graphic he explains
how and why this can be.
The idea is that all deaths occasion
ed by no other cause than “old age,”
and that mental and physical weaken
ing due to advancing years without
disease complications, are almost in
variably due to the premature weak
ening or atrophy of the endocrine
glands, without which the body, even
when otherwise healthy, cannot func
tion. Dr. Voronoff compares these
glands, upon which all other glands
depend for vital fluid, to the spark in
the motor of the automobile.
The average human bqipg, Dr.
Voronoff asserts, does not die a natural
death: *
“Those who die in their early
eighties, for instance, of neither ac
cident nor disease, die through the
failure of their endocrinal glands to
furnish generative energy to the prin
cipal organs of their body; and, as
this condition is almost always
brought about by unnatural living,
death in such circumstances is pre
ventable by the removable of the
cause.”
Thife is done by grafting healthy
young glands from monkeys of the
highest type, preferably chimpanzees,
in place of the weakened or atrophied
ones of the human being. The dif
ficulty, not to say impossibility, of
obtaining human “spare parts” for
his work forced Dr. Voronoff to turn
to the animals, and the difference in
the calibers of all but monkey blood
and human blood precluded the suc
cess of grafting the glands of any
other animal onto the human body,
as such grafted glands would promptly
die.
It is “a preposterous absurdity” to
think that the monkey glands will in
any way affect our natures, Dr.
Voronoff asserts.
The cost of monkey-glands, which
has hitherto been almost prohibitive,
should become less in the future, as
Dr. Voronoff has established a monkey
farm at Grimaldi on the Mediterran
ean coast from which monkeys can
be to his laboratories in
Paris safely and quickly; close watch
can also be kept over their health in
this way.
Not only do abused or atrophied
endocrinal glands shorten human life,
but they are often the cause of thyroid
insufficiency or atrophy, which invar
iably causes idiocy. When endocrinal
lack is the cause, grafting produces
remarkable results. Often, of course,
thyroid atrophy comes from other
causes; in this case the thyroid gland
itself is restored by grafting. The
first, thyroid-gland graft was perform
ed in 1913 on a fourteen-year-old total
idiot; he was accepted by medical
authorities and send to the front as
a normal young man when the war
broke out.
The first endocrinal gland grafts
were performed on animals: a ram
twelve years old, the average span of
life lived by sheep, was grafted and
resumed life as an equal among much
younger members of the herd. Later
on, the glands were removed ; the ram
aged rapidly and was shortly at the
point of death. A third operation
was performed, re-grafting the gland,
and the sheep is still healthy and
“young,” eight years later.
“I shall remember for the rest of
my life how I trembled with anguish
a few moments, before I performed my
first ‘rejuvenation’ of a human being,
in 1920 —despite my conviction that
there was no possible danger,” writes
Dr. Voronoff. Since then over 1,000
successful gland grafts have been ac
complished, by him and by doctors
all over the world who are students
of his methods.
The general effect has been to re
store to men of seventy or over the
muscular power they possessed twenty
years before. In many cases, improve
ment in mental condition as well as
in health has been reported.
One woman also has undergone an
operation for gland graft. Although
it. was in every way a success, and
the woman greatly restored in health
and looks, the operation in women is
far more serious than in man, and
Dr. Voronoff prefers to spend his time,
therefore, where more and quicker re
sults can be obtained, for the purpose,
of perfecting his method and broaden-

ing his field.
In an article quoted in the July
Review of Reviews Sir Philip Gibbs
expresses the hope of scientists that
something can be done to fit man,
physically and mentally, for the new
world which is being opened to him
by modern science.
Toward this new man Dr. Voronoff
feels he oould make a definite contri
bution. He has discovered that a ram
in the prime of life, with endocrinal
glands in excellent condition, when
grafted with organs still younger and
healthier, increased in weight and l
strength, and its wool increased in
proportion. Not only that, but its
off-spring weighted much more and
bore more wool than normal lambs
born of ungrafted subjects. A new
race of sheep was thus created, whose
characteristics are being inherited by
their off-spring.
Dr. Voronoff believes that this oper
ation performed on human beings
might produce a race of men much
taller and stronger than the average
man today.
It is only seven years since the first
gland-graft operation, too short a time
to prove his theory that man can be
made to live far over the century
mark. But at least, Dr. Voronoff be
lieves in his own medicine, and as
sures his readers that he too will be
grafted when the time comes.
Lessons in Fidelity From a Bird
Cage.
Dearborn Independent.
Some years ago at the University
of Michigan a zoologist made an in
tensive study, extending over several
years, of the evolution of intelligence
in turtles. While subjected to this
college education, the turtles were
taught to find their way to food
through various mazes. Innocent
rats were similarly enrolled in
courses involving the leamiug o»*.
mazes, discrimination by sight (vis
ual educationj, and even a certain
familiarity vrith electricity by
shocks. It is the hope in such studies
that the world may learn what is
going on in the mind of the turtle
and may be able to apply the re
sults of their research to human
beings.
Recently a Russian scientist, Dr.
Hilda Cinat-Tomson, working at the
Institute of Experimental Zoology
in the University of Riga, made
somewhat >analagous studies of the
tender passions of the parrots, most
faaithful of all animals to their
mates. A pair remain loyal to each
other even unto death, and there are
no second marriages.
In the first place, in these ex
periments a male was placed in a
cage with several females. The re
sult was simply discord, much scold
ing on the part of the ladies, and no
affair of the heart at all- Two males
were placed in a cage with one of
the fair sex ; it is recorded as a fact
of scientific record that the first
male to make any amorous advance
received invariably an Indignant re
pulse from the lady, who almost im
mediately thereafter received the
less forward male.
A male bird disguised as a female
received quite the same attention
from his unsuspecting brethren as
i the real article.
The Judicial System.
The judicial system of the United
States, under the Constitution, is
composed of a Supreme Court and
such inferior courts as Congress may
from time to time establish. All
cases involving Federal matters or
violations of the laws are considered
by the courts which have been es
tablished over a long series of years.
At this time the lowest officer of
the United States judicial system is
a United States Commissioner, who
does not preside at trials and who
simply acts as a committing magis
trate. All Federal cases, with a few
exceptions, are tried in the United
States district courts, of which there
i are now 134. Appeal is always pos
-1 sible from the decisions of these
courts to the United States Circuit
i Courts of Appeals, of which there
are nine, in addition to the Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia,
which almost ranks with the Circuit
courts. In almost all cases, under
’ the new practice of the Supreme
Cor.rt and the laws of Congress, de
( oieions of the Circuit Courts of Ap
-1 peals are final, . but dissatisfied
litigants may request the Supreme
Court to review their cases, though
1 there is no obligation on the court to
do so. In eight classes of cases
1 jurisdiction by the Supreme Court
| has been made mandatory.
Decrees of the United States
» courts are enforced through**variorr*
■ agencies of the Government, pro-
F.vided for by Congress, but there is
■ no military backing for them.

Girl Quadruplets Far
Ahead of Their Class
/ By DIXIE SHELBY,
- r International Illustrated News Staff Correspondent
SCIENTISTS have it all figured out that quadruplets occur
but once in some 400,000 cases. Just what the percentage,
is where all four babies are girls isn’t known, but it’s so l
rare as to be almost in the miracle class. And when you con
sider that the four girls are all alive and healthy at the age of
twelve—well, it doesn’t happen once in a blue moon, that’s alii
The quadruplets who merit special attention are the daugh
ters of Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Keys, of Hollis, Okla. So far as is
known, they are the only quartet of the same sex born. [What
is more, they have never been ill in all their lives. ..
The girls are Roberta, Mona, Mary
and Leota Keys. They were bon
on June 4, 1915. With the exception
of Leota, who Is a blonde, the others
are brunettes. They are of almost
uniform size and appearance, and
furnish their parents with plenty of
perplexities In trding to distinguish
them from each other.
FAR AHEAD. _
The quadruplets In their Intelli
gence and educational ratings are
far advanced for students of their
age. They play hard, study regu
larly, go to bed early, arise early,
help with the housework, play vari
ous musical instruments, take long
hikes and are fond of swimming, rid
ing and other forms of outdoor exer
cise.
There have been a number of cases
of quadruplets where the children
were of both genders. In most in
stances, however, the foursome was
broken up by early death.
▲ sixty-two-year-old Venezuelan
woman gave birth to five normal
children within eight hours. This
was in 1922.
Trustworthy cases of quintuplets
and sextupleti are rare, however.
There are but two authentic cases of
the latter in he United States. On
December 30, 1831, a woman in Dro
pln was delivered of six daughters,
who lived long enough to be bap
tized the same day, but died that
evening.
