Before jumping into the water on Sunday night' they had put on their heavy coats. These they pipned to- gether at the top and bottom with horse blanket safety pims, about three inches [Gng. They used the pins to fasten their coats together and prevent them from being sepa- rated in the water. After pinning themselves fast, they evidently embraced each other and jumped into the canal and sank in about ten feet of water. The pins were used both at the bottom and the top, on both sides of their coats, about four inches from the bottom and just below the arms, One of Taylor's personal friends, Who had known him from boyhood, says that Taylor probably supplied the ping in order that there should be no misunderstanding and that everyone would have the satisfadtion of knowing that he carried out his end of the bargain. The suicide 'pact may have been the result of remorse on the part of both. Joseph Sharpe is sald to have Jbegun an action for divorce in Michi- gan against his estranged wife and in this application Samuel Taylor is said to be named as the alienator of his wife's affeétions. Mr. Taylor's wrist watch stopped at 1.34, indicating in the opinion of experts, that the water was entered between one o'clock and~<thmt time. The victims wore their overcoats.

It was a small group of men, with no women mourners, that watched the descent of the grey coffin into the six feet of earth that form inan's last and only heritage. Turning away from the grave, emotion racked her young son, Jack, and tears stream- ed down the face Of her brother. There were few words from their companions, "She 'was a beantiful girl. I remember well her fine head of hair," was the only comment of one of the older men, "And she was the picture of health always." ~ The funeral of the late Samuel Taylor took place Thursday after- noon. Interment was in the Little Lake Cemetery. The services were charge of Rev, W. H.

STAGING GREAT FIGHT ind Loeb Joined a Laughter Qver Amusing In- cident During Trial Chicago, Aug. 1.--Mitigation, not of crime, but of punishment; mercy of judgment, founded not upon the cold letter of the law, but upon con- siderations of humanity--these were the points emphasized yesterday by the defence in the proceedings which are to determine the penalty that Na- than Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, are to pay for the kidnapping and murder of Robert Franks, Clarence S. Darrow, 67-year-old veteran of court battles, fighting for the princi- ples he has advocated in and out of court for many years, put squarely before Judge John R. Caverly the issue whether considerations of this character are to be written into the jurisprudence of Illinois. "The state's attorney's office seems to feel the universe will crumble unless these boys hang," he said. He argued in response to a lengthy contention by Robert E. Crowe, state attorney, backed by the legal lore of Thomas Marshall, indictment expert. Through a day and a half of court proce€dings, the prosecutor had maintained that evidence of alien- ists, offered by the defence, as to the degree of mental responsibility of the youthful murderers was incom- petent, irrelevant and immaterial after a plea of guilty had been entered. "We seek no mitigation of the crime, but only mitigation of the runishment because of 'a diseased condition of the mind, constant in character, but not amounting to legal insanity" was the keynote of the defense. A showing of mental disease con- stitutes a showing of insanity the existence of which must be deter- mined by a jury. It can be brought in here only if the deféndants withdraw pleas of guilty and rely upon insanity as a defense to the cfime itself, re. sponded the state. - Throughout the four hour session of the court the question was debat- ed by the attorneys. Occasionally three or four of them would be on their feet talking at the same time, but for the most part Mr. Marshall held the floor for the state and Mr. Darrow and Walter Bachrach for the defense. One case, which Crowe, now state's attorney, heard when he was a judge, and Clarence S. Darrow, attorney for the defence, was cited today in the Franks trial when the state tried to maintain that evidence of depravity was not admissible in mitigation ot runishment for Nathan Leopold, jr., and Richard Loeb, The citation brought a heated ex- change between Messrs. Crowe and Darrow today, the former maintain- ing he had not heard such evidence in mitigation of punishment, "Oh, yes, you did," asserted Mr, Darrow. "But the defendant was hanged," said Mr. Crowe. "Yes, but you sentenced him," re- torted Mr. Darrow. The court room rang with laugh- ter, Leopold and Loeb joining. The demonstration faded quickly under the frown of Judge Caverly. When court opened the defence's alienist, Dr. White, climbed into the witness chair and the attorneys grouped themselves in front of the bench to resume the argument, Judge Caverly told the prosecution that all the cases cited yesterday were cases in which a plea of not guilty had been entered and the cases tried by juries, and that therefore they were not applicable in the present instance. The court cited a Pennslyvania decision which it held ran along lines gimilar to the Franks case so far, and it indicated that allenist testimony in mitigation of punishment had been heard by Clarence S. Darrow, chief counse! for the defence, wanted a time limit put upon the arguments as to admis- sibility of alienist testimony, saying that cases the state thought might parallel the present cise could be read "until doomsday" without pro- gress.

Trouble Brewing In Vienna, Aug. 1.--According to lat- est reports reaching Vignta by pri- vate channels, the menace of the trouble in tle Balkans is getting dally more serious. While the Greek general staff openly state that every preparation is made, and that the Greek army is ready to march into Bulgaria, Jugo-Siavia and Rumania are censoring all disquieting reports and refuse 'to admit that trouble is brewing. Reliable reports Indicate that gim- ilar preparations are, however, being made nm Jugo-Slavia and that Rau- i States; manis may join hands with Greece 2nd her ally, Jugo-Siavia, There was a panic on the Jugo- Slaviap Cora Exchange yesterday when the price of corn fell about nine per cent., and although attrie buted to other causes, is undoubted~ iy due to the prevailing disquietude in the Balkans. Bulgarian raids on the frontier are becoming daily more serious and commence to amount to more than frontier skirmishes. The authorities appear to exercise absolutely no con- trol. Nineteen Bulgarians were exe cuted by the Greeks after ome of these raids.
