Loeb epilepsy defense may be argued to save Loeb
Chicago Aug 3 epilepsy may be used to mitigate Richard Loeb in the Bobby Franks murder case. The Herald and Examiner cites a defense physician linking Loeb childhood phantasm to epilepsy, while alienists in Judge Caverly's court explain the teens' crime as a product of fantasy and devilish ingenuity. Dr William Healy and other experts will testify next week on the mental state of Leopold and Loeb.

The Leopold and Loeb Insanity Defense Debate
The article analyzes the contention that Leopold and Loeb are not responsible due to youth and emotional immaturity, contrasted with the State’s view of their normal intellect and calculated motives. It notes Darrow’s stance that they will not testify, potential judge questioning, upcoming exams, and the role of alienists in rebuttal, with commentary on how expert testimony often sways juries. It mentions widespread attention from criminal lawyers and cites judge visitors and high profile figures observing the proceedings. It closes by inviting readers to place found articles in the Washington Post Found Column.

La Follette backs labor council stance on indorsement
Wisconsin Senator La Follette refrained from comment on the form of endorsement for his independent presidential bid by the American Federation of Labor executive council. Friends say his view is that a new party is not yet needed and a full ticket will not be run in all states. They note support from many Republicans and Democrats in Congress and expect favorable regard from La Follette and Senator Wheeler as running mate. The council report’s emphasis on labor alignment is seen as influential for labor and allied voters.
