"I do net know whether your honor

honorable exception, everybody con
aested with the caee ha* laughed and
Leopold did not say he would plead
guilty before a friendly Judge, Ma
action* ha** dsmiaatrstid that ha
tMaks ha has mm."
Mr. Darrow abjscted to this stato
Mst and the Judge's eyas biased,
but ha urdersd the court upmtoM to

It was not until the state formally

"If yo«r honor pleaae." beaeeched
the •tartled atate'a attorney. "I
merely wanted to put my pereonal
feel in fa plainly before the court. I
had no other intention.'
"The state's attorney knew," want
on the inexorable tones of the court,
"that it would be heralded all over
this country and all over the world,
and ha know*, too, that the court had
opportunity to do only what ha did."
The judicial voice came up sharply
aa ha addid:
"This court will not be intimidated
by anybody, at any time or place, aa
Umt aa he occupies this position."
Then, scarcely chanting his tone.

With an enrollment, for the en
tire year, of about 12,000 children
last term, the city's achool buildings
were more than taxed to capacity,
and many half-time classes were
conducted. This year, when the to
tal enrollment is expected to reach
at least 13,000, the lack of space
in the school buildings will be felt
more keenly, according to Superin
tendent Harding.
the 11,000,000 school bond issue
voted last spring to relieve the con
tention in the schools by erecting
new buildings will not affect the sit

the fall of IKS, since none of the
