DEFENSE MAKING ADDITIONAL PLANS Two Eastern Alienists Added to Defense Staff and Both Have Been Prominent in Juvenile Work. Chicago. July 26 (Hy the Associated Press).—Counsel for Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb today struck back at the evidence of the State. for the first time since the opening of the hearing on Wednesday which is to fix the penalty for the j»uthful slay ers of Robert Franks, n State witness, was cross examihcd at length by the defense. Detective Sergeant James , Cortland, who yesterday told of conversations with Leopold in which the college student re vealed his reactions tV» the crime lie had confessed to. was stubbornly croak ex amined by Attorney Clarence 8. Dar row as to "the style of his notes and his cxnerieijce as a police examiner. The action of the defense counsel was in the natnre of a challenge of the tes timony of Qortland in which Virtually ev ery statement in chief was examined to the most minute detail. It was Cortland, who yesterday as the State's 67th witness before Chief Justice Caverly of the criminal court, quoted Leopold as having declared that murder was no crime in his code. The witness was asked to read his short hand notes on the statement, that if he decided he would prefer life impris onment to the gallows, lie would "plead guilty before a friendly judge.” As the fourth day’s session began, it was learned that the defense had added to its staff of alienists two Eastern ex perts, noted for their work in juvenile de linquency. They were Dr. Wm. J. Healy of Ros ton, and Dr. Benjamin Glueek, of New York. Their presence, it \vas saint foro ■ <tota hard cyrt fight for tV I WBMRPj next week. Attorney Harrow announced that Dr. Healy is director of the Baker Founda tion of Boston, and is a specialist In juve nile delinquency. Dr. Glueek formerly was examining alienist at Sing Sing. N. Y., and more recently attached to the municipal courts in New York. He. too. is active in juvenile cases. Fora considerable time today the cross examination of Gortlnnd centered about the friendly judge conversation. Several times during the questioning of the witness Mr, Harrow conferred with his associate counsel, and the boy defendants listened in on these whisper ed conversations. \ It was brought out that Gortland made )>D mention of the friendly judge state ment to his superiors in official reports, although he persisted he had revealed tt to an assistant state’s attorney shortly after it was made, and had talked about it with newspaper reporters and friends. After an hour’s cross examination Gortland was temporarily withdrawn from the witness stand and ordered not to con verse with auyoue in the court room while Jacob Weinstein, general manager of an optical establishment, was’ called by the state to identify the glasses found near the railroad culvert which yielded Funnks’ body. The sudden switching of witnesses was agreed upon by counsel as an accommodation to Mr. Weinstein. Strikes Back at State. Chicago, July 26 (By the Associated l*ress). —Insinuating that the State's tes timony which credited Nathan Leopold Jr., with a desire to plead gttilty before a friendly judge was n fabrication, Clar ence S. Narrow, chief counsel for Leo pold and Riqbard Is>eb struck hard today at this evidence. 1( was the first' time since the boys pleaded guilty to kidnapping and murder of Robert Franks that their counsel had challenged the truth, of any material fact brought out by the state. James J. Gortland, detective sergeant, drew the fire of the defense after bring ing out that all conversation between I/eopold and the policeman had been re corded in some way by notes or report, except that the friendly judge remark had not been put down either in writing or shorthand. Darrow asked ; “Isn’t it true that this whole story of the conversation in which you said Nathan hoped for a prison sen tence by a plea of gnilty before a friend ly judge, was a pure fabrication concoct ed for the purpose of intimidating the court ?" “It is not,” declared Gortland. Aside from this attack on Gertland'a testimony- of yesterday, the short Satur day session was rather perfunctory. An optician further identified the glass es found near the culvert where Franks' bony was placed as having been made for Leopold. i A railroad clerk added a hit of evi dence to the chain of circumstances which the state claims showed the boys tried to get a second ransom letter to Franks’ father by leaving it on the telegram rack of a parlor car in a Chicago depot.

Kansas City.’ July 25.—Wheat lias replaced oil as the source of rapid wealth jn Kansas. Poor tenant farmers who have strug gled for years, many of them in the southwestern part of the state, who were compelled to appeal to the public for seed wheat loans Inst fall to seed this year’s .crop, today find themselves wealthy. Many others who had pur chased farms with small payments and who expected to have mortgages hang ing over these farms for years are in a position to pay off these mortgages, buy more land, build new houses and barns, or purchase motor cars and other things they have denied themselves for years. Kansas' unprecedented wheat crop has produced all this wealth, and. with ris ing prices, promises to convert this wealth into even greater wealth before all the crop is marketed. Hundreds of farmers, anticipating price-hikes caused by poor crops in Can-' ada and other wheat-producing coun tries. nrc holding their wheat for the ga|P they feel sure will be theirs by notmarketing it at once. No one section is cornering this - is similar througb ern two-ririrds' of thf - State.

Kissed by Millions. London, July 26. —During the present' holiday season hundreds of American and other tourists in Ireland have vis ited Blarney Castle and its famous kissing stone. Os the stones variously asserted to be the original one, able to bestow the gift of persuasive eloquence upon whoever touches it with his lips, the one the kissing of which is a diffi cult feat, on account of its position, has received numerous kisses from daring visitors, as well as the one which is easy of access. Ihe Blarney Stone is not unique in having received a vast number of chaste salutes. St. Peter’s Statue, in-the nave of St. Peter’s Church, in Rome, can claim a like honor. In fact, the too of this bronze figure’s foot has been worn away by kisses. Perhaps, however, the Mohammedans possess the most-kissed objedt in the world, namely, the celebrated Black Stone at Mecca. No true Moslem, af ter having made a pilgrimage to the Prophet’s birthplace, would think of leav ing it without first kissing this sacred stdne. Said to have been white originally, the Black Stone is stated by those to whom it is an object of veneration to have been turned to its present color either through the sins of hien or by the tremendous number of kisses bestow ed upon it. j- Largest Map in the World.

M. Simmons and Representative Charles L. Aber nethy, of New Bern, a mass meeting of eastern North Carolina business men and shippers this afternoon adopted resolu tions recommending to the legislature that the report of the ship and water transportation commission be adopted by the special session without referendum to the people, and that the thanks of the meeting be extended to Governor Morrison for his vision, initiative and judgment in placing this important mea sure before the legislature for attention. From practically every section of (astern North Carolina and from other pgrts of the state came men who be lieve in the future of the Oftl North ; State and are ready to fight for the . rights of this state in comparison with the advantages given adjoining common wealths, but of which this state is de i prived—men whd are ready to exert ■ their every effort that “the best state in the union may be known as the best state,” and that she may no longer be , throttled by lack of development of i natural advantages with which she has . beeu so richly endowed.

Dr. J. Y. Joyner, a inember of tfie special legislative commission, was the first speaker. He said that North Car olina is the greatest farm producing state in the South, the greatest factory producing state in the South and the biggest tonnage producing state for the railroads which run through it in the South today.

Religious liberty is guaranteed to ever yperson. . High officials of the government are sympathetic to the mis sionaries The masses of the people are heart, hungry and even the priests are weary and tired and some of them are secret believers in Christ. Third,' the,progress of missions. Jn sands who are secret believers. Several denominations have organized into bo dies. Social work is gaining in mo mentum.
