"Yea" was the whispered response to the question of whether a charred automobile rug was similar to the one which she had seen in the Leopold home. Miss Sattler was, on the stand but a collapse.

moment or two and seemed near Leopold and Loeb again lost their amused smiles when Dr. Emil Deutch, eye specialist, testified that the glasses found near the body of Robert Franks had been prescribed for Nathan Leopold. Four students of the Univereity of Chicago, former intimates of Leopold during his law studies there, further helped the state by testifyIng as to the ownership of the typewriter used by Leopold. Leopold and Loeb tried to act in carefree manner throughout but showed considerable concern aS friend after friend mounted the stand. The youths were much amused at the faltering testimony of Patrolman Homer, who arrested Loeb on the day preceding DecoraStion Day, as a suspect in the Franks murder case.

Loeb was taken into custody because he was a friend of Nathan Leopold and admitted he was with Leopold, on the day of the murder. It was the suave Leopold who was first suspected because of the Anding of his glasses near the scene of the murder. Jacobs Franks sat near the defendants. State's Attorney Crowe, who is making rapid headway in presenting his case largely because chief deTense counsel Clarence Darrow does not bother to contest the State's testimony and waives cross-examin-1 ation of witness, prepared, to place score of witnesses the stand today. 'He will complete case by the end of the week.

Mr. Darrow will take three days to present the defense, he told the United Press, indicating that the entire "trial" will be ended sometime next week. Convening of court was delayed a few minutes. A conference was reported in the chambers of Justice Caverly. Due to a rain, the crowd el spectators was cut down and the Little courtroom, heretofore crowded beyond capacity, was about halt impty.

Firemen and" policemen maintained a guard in the halls and the court to prevent overcrowding. Court convened at 10.10. Both Loeb and Leopold appeared upon the scene both seeming at ease.

Frank B.

Tuttle, manager of the Trenier Hotel, testified Leopold regtered at his hotel some time befire the murder under the name of Martin D. Ballard. Tuttle identified an envelope addressed to "Ballard" which was sent to the hotel. Jacobs Franks did not get the rancom note because he failed to follow Inetruction. turned a half-sickly grin Patrolman George Homer, who testified to securing the 'Ballard" Loeb also was much amused at the policeman's stuttering replies and grinned broadly.

State's Attorney Crowe asked Homer whether he made any arrests In the case. "Yes sir, I did," Homer replled. "Whom did you arrest?" Mr. Crowe asked. "On what day did you arrest Loeb?" "I'm not sure that I remember the date." will refresh your memory." Mr.

Crowe said "by telling you that Day fell on Friday, May 30.4 "It was the day before Decoration Day that I arrested Loeb," the officer then replied. Loeb was arrested eight days after the killing of Robert Franks. Two days later he confessed the crime. This was Saturday, May 31. Leopold and I Loeb were galvanized Deutch, eye specialist mounted the to strict attention when Dr.

Darrow waived cross examiation of the witnesses. Elisabeth Sattler maid in the apold home, was the next witness And Leopold was ordered to stand up while she identifed him. Did you see any typewriters the Leopold home?" Mr. Crowe asked. "I saw two.

One was a large typewriter and the other was an Underwood portable." The witness said she saw the portable typewriter in the Leopold home for the last time about a week after the murder. battered machine taken from a lagoon in Jackson Park, was held up for identification. It was on this that the ransom letter was written. Leopold's face worked with silent laughter as he gazed at the destruction he wrought on the typewriter before throwing it into the water. "Did you ever see Leopold use this a Mr.

Crowe asked. "Yes, often." "Did the Leopola family have any automobiles "Yes, five." Visibly shaken by the ordeal of having to testify against the son of her employer, Sattler trembled an depoke in avoice that was barely audible. For the frat time since the case opened the defense cross -examined a State witness. Benjamin Bacarach merely asked Miss Sattler whether she testifled to the same things before the State grand She replied "Yes' and was dismissed. The defendants leaned forward as Arnold Maramont, student at the University of Chicago, took the stand.

Leopold and Maramont studled law together at the university. Maramont told of having received typewritten sheets on law studies from Leopold. Mr. Crowe asked him to Identify the portable used by Leopold and Maramont replied that he saw A machine similar to the exhibit in Leopold's home. Maramont described scenes at the Leopold home where he said he had often studied with young Leopold.

He said it was in the Leopold home that they prepared "dope sheets" used in preparing for examinations. These "dope sheets, Maramont said, were written on the portable typewriter. He identified the sheets and the typewriter. States Attorney Crowe asked the witness to explain how he studied for examinations and while the witness went into the matter, Clarence Darrow stood up and listened attentively. Mr.

Crowe laughingly suggested that Maramont speak louder 80 that Mr. Darrow "might learn something." Mr. Darrow laughed and winked at the Judge. While the student testified Leopold and Loeb looked at each other and giggled. Leopold appeared reminiscent as he heard ACcounts of days when he was a law student.

Howard Obendorf, another law student followed Marament on stand and corroborated in details the previous -Morris witness' Shamberg Abelson, other law students, corroborated the testimony of Maramont and Obendorf and when they were exJudge Caverly ordered a tenminute recess. Windows were opened to allow fresh air to enter the courtroom, whichh was hot almost to the point of suffocation. Mrs. Lucille Smith and her daughter, Feanette, 18, told of seeing large touring car on a dirt road on the edge of South Chicago the night of 21. Robert Franks was killed that afternoon.

The witnesses were permitted to leave the stand after that, as the purpose was to show the presence of the car--held to be that of Loeb's and Leopold'snear the spot where the murdered boy's Bernard body WAS foundino found the chisel used in killing Robert testified: "About 1.30 a. May 33 I saw big car drive by the corner of Forty and Greenwood. Something was thrown out of the car. I picked It up and saw it was a chisel bound with tape. There was blood on it.

I had read about the murder of Robert Franks and 80 I turned the chisel over to the police and gave them a description of the machine." Just before the court was called into session yesterday, bailiffs lugged In a large steel filing cabinet with the drawers sealed and labeled, placing it near the witness stand. It contained the many exhibits in the case which the state will use to clinch its arguments that the murder Was premeditated and should earn a hanging verdict. a Jacob Franks, who rose from pawnbroker millionaire, was the first witness to handle the exhibits. Immediately after taking the stand and being identified various articles of clothing worn by his son when he disappeared were handed to him. "Yes." "Yes, sir." or a nod were his answers to the questions tending to identify the belt buckle, the golt hose and other wearing apparel.

Mr. Franks told of the long vigil while his boy was missing and then of the letter and telephone call demanding $10,000 ransom for the return of little. Robert. His voice quavered of the all-night vigil beside the telephone, waiting for further instructions as to delivery of the money. Witnesses will show that while the father was waiting to turn over the money, the body of his boy had been pushed Into a culvert at the side of a lonely road.

Mrs. Franks, the mother, who has been a nervous wreck since the kidnaping, walked to the stand with a firm tread. Her voice as she anquestions was firm, but very swered, nod of the head was the usual answer as she was called on to identify the various bits of clothing worn by her son at the time he disappeared. Her testimony was brief and wholly routine. Edward M.

Gresham, uncle of the slain boy, told of the search 1 for Robert and of going to the morgue and identifying the body. Other witnesses, fourteen of them, called by the state, told their stories yesterday. In succession, they mounted the stand and piled up mound of details; dull, Impersonal details; details which defense counby sel admit. Mr. Crowe created a sensation court when he discussed the "prithe vate testimony" be giyen Judge Caverly.

The reference broke many suppressed from the spectators. At once there was a wave rumors that this testimony was shocking and was the real reason Lewhy the families of the accused boys had decided on the plea guilty. It was apparent that counin sel for the defense would not object to the proposed hearing in secret. ALLEGED TRAFFIC VIOLATION Paul Garvine, charged with violating traffic rules by running automobile on the left side of a trolley car on East Fourth street, tween King and French streets, morning, was arrested by Traffic Acer Jones. REPAIR RIVER BANKS, OPEN OLD SLUICES Continued From First Page.

ing each calendar year. The said department shall, within ten days after the end of each calendar year. notify the assessor of property for city taxes for the city of Wilmington. the amount of money expended in the preceding calendar year, for. purpose mentioned in this section.

(The said assessor shall, at the same time that other property in the city of Wilmington is assessed for city taxes, make an assessment upon owners of property benefitted by the improvements of the banks, sluices, as aforesaid. in proportion to the benefit conferred upon each lot and its owner. and such assessment shall be known as 'River Bank The owner of any lot assessed shall have the right to appeal from the said assessment, as is now given to owners of land in the city of Wilmington, assessed for city taxes. The assessment being so settled as aforesaid, the same shall be laid before Council at the same time and in the same manner as the assesament for city taxes, and the Council shall determine the rate on and upon every hundred dollars of said assessment, and so pro rata. "Section special ment for "River Bank Improvement" shall be collected in the same way as city taxes are collected." A force of twenty men is employed in the work, under the direction of Cecil Hahn and John Moore, in spectors of the Street and Sewer Department.

Just how long it will take to do the work will depend upon conditions met when they begin work on opening the clogged sluice gates, but it is thought the work to be done at this time will not be near so great as at fret estimated, as there le less than one thousand feet of the river bank in need of repair. While the work is being done primarily to relleve the sanitary condition of the residential section of South Wilmington, it will also tend to increase the value of the marsh lands, most of which 1a held for speculative purposes, and will also tend to relieve the city of Wilmington a considerable extent of the present pest of mosquitoes, which probably has never been worse than at this time. The low lands, flooded by rains and high tides. with 110 way for the water to run off, provide an excellent breeding ground for mosquitoes, and Wilmington suffers in consequence. The drainage of the marsh land will benefit the residential section of South Wilmington, which stands on alightly higher ground than the marshes, as the surface water will run off, but it la not likely to prove of great beneft to cellars in some parts of the residential section, as they are near the high water mark, and in some cases even lower.

According to the survey made by the Street and Sewer Department most of the residential section 'In South Wilmington 1s from ten to twelve feet above low water mark. while some parts are as low as eight and some run as high as sixteen feet above low water. The average tide In the Christiana River 1s about. five and one-halt feet. A cellar built in the sections where the surface of the land is only eight feet above low water, must necessarily be below the water level in the river at every high tide, and while the present plan may help the surface drainage, there are likely to be some wet cellars in that section during some seasons of the year.

S. IS AFTER RAIL PROFITS Takes Steps to Get Amounts Due Under Transportation Act of 1920 GIVE ATTENTION TO SMALL NEW YORK, July of a number of the smaller railroads with headquarters in New York City have been called to Washington for conferences with the Financial Division of the Interstate Commerce Commission to discuss the payment of the excess profits due the Government, under This, the it was Transporta- learned yesterday, de one of the first moves on the part of the Interstate Commerce Commission to make collections under the recapture provision of the Transportation act of 1920. According to an authority, on valuation, who represents the large radlroads, information has been recelved from time to time of smaller lines being called before the commission, but so far as he was able to ascertain, none of the larger railroads have been called. By the terms of the Transportation act of 1920 all the railroads are called upon to divide their earnings in excess of 6 per cent. into two equal funds.

One of these funds is to be turned over to the Government to be loaned to the weaker roads and the other is to go to the treasury of the railroad reporting the earnings to be used as a reserve for years In which the earnings do not reach 6 per cent. of their valuation. Although the commission has Axed only a few final valuations it asked railroads early in the year to submit their book value and to pay on account the excess profits due on this value. The railroads complied with this order, but with one two exceptions the values submitted were 90 large that the excess profits tax was without effect on the earnings. Since that time the Financial Division has called in the representatives of a number of the railroads; asked them to show the method by which they arrived at the valuation given, and later suggested changes in the valuations and the payment of excess profits on "account." Final settlement is to made after the Anal valuation has been arrived at.

Among the railroads that have made settlements with the Government are the Duluth, Missabe Northern, and the Bessemer Lake Erie, both of which are owned by the United States Steel Corporation. MARKET HOLDS TO BUOYANCY Trading Active in Standard Corners During Morning Hours NEW YORK, July 24, (United Press) Bouyancy characterized the early dealings in Wall Street today, with rails showing the greatest strength. These stocks were stimulated by the car loading figures for the week ended July 12, showing freight traffio holding about 10 per cent. below last year's record breaking volume.

In Memoriam In sad and loving remembrance of our dear mother and grandmother, Rhoda Ellen Alrey who departed this life July 24, 1923: It's lonesome here without you, mother, And your loss we deeply feel, Our lives are not the same to us, Since your were called away.
