REACHING THE SPOT
It Has Been Done, So Scores of Clin

To get rid of an aching back,
The sharp twinges.
The tred-out feelings,
You must reach the spot—get at
the cause.
In many cases ’tis the kidneys.
Doan’s Pills are for weak kidneys.
Clinton citizens testify. Ask your
neighbor!
Mrs. Nannie E. Finney, 66 Florida
St., says: “My kidneys were out of
*ondition and caused me to feel miser
able and all run down. There was
a constant bearing-down ache across
my back and I was nervous and dizzy.
My kidneys didn’t act right either.
I got a supply of Doan’s Pills from
Young’s Pharmacy and they put my
kidneys in good condition and cured
the backache.’’ (Statement given
May 8, 1918).
On January 21, 1922, Mrs. Finney
said: “I haven’t used a kidney medi
cine since Doan’s cured me several
years ago. Because of the good they
did me, I gladly confirm my former
endorsement.’’

CLOSES ARGUMENT
IN PLEA FOR MERCY
Attorney for Chicago Slayers Indicta
Present Age Cruelty. Would
Overcome Hate With Love
Chicago, Aug. 25.—Pleading for the
future, for posterity, for the progress
of law and for “that time when we
shall realize that mercy is the high
est attribute of man,” Clarence S.
Darrow, 67 year old philosopher of
the courts and foe of legal rigidity,
ended today his three day argument
for the lives of Nathan F. Leopold,
Jr., and Richard Loeb.
Mk Darrow brushed the tears from
his eyes' several times as he entreated
for “that noble quality of mercy with
which we eventually may overcome
cruelty and hate and malice W^th
kindness and gentleness and love.”
There was visible emotion among
many of the spectators and Judge
John R. Caverly flushed as he pressed
a pencil to his lips.

Written for The Chronicle
By EDWARD PERCY HOWARD
When Henry Clay stepped from his
carriage to interview the stricken
candidate for the presidency, Craw
ford, the contest had reached that
pass where he came to look upon the
.Georgian with considerable favor.
Clay unquestionably held the balance
of power. He liked Crawford person
ally. They had spent many a jovial
time over toddy and stacks of poker
chips. Peculiarly it was a poker
game that caused the bitterness be
tween Adams and Clay. On one occa
sion Clay was holding a poker party
in a hotel. Adams occupied thie ad-

but they centered on their aged law- ti , the 3ml|| h<mrs of th . morni „ ? ,
for which Clay was then and after
wards denounced by Adams as a good-
for-nothing roustabout.
Clay remained with Crawford for
an hour. At the end of that time
yer looks of unwavering interest and
the former touched Mr. Darrow’s
sleeve as he passed him going out of
court.

men; he indicted the educational sys
tem under which “young, plastic
minds” are given the pagan philoso
phies of all times. He spoke with
scorn of the tendency of jurists and
lawyers to move in ruts of legal ter
minology in utter disregard of the ad
vances of science and the achievement
of thought.
He pointed to the “wierd mentali
ties” of his clients and the “irration
al, mad and horrifying” crime which
they contrived as the product, even
the responsibility, of age gone.
He characterized as an “ancient
superstition and nothing more” the
theory that hanging is a deterrent to
crime.
“Hanging grew up in the age of
barbarism from which we are so late
ly come as an exhibition—not as a
punishment,” he said.
He brought together in impressive
design multicolored threads of legal
history, philosophical criticism, scien
tific accumulations in the field of the
psychology of youth and a liberal por
tion of old fashioned soliquy. He
reached to the Scriptures for inspira
tion and support and quoted poetry at
intervals in a studied attempt to bring
his appeal to the heart of Judge Cav
erly, who must decide the penalty for
the kidnaping and murder of Robert
Franks.
“I am pleading for life, for charity
and kindness and for humanity,” he
said. “I am pleading for the over
coming of cruelty with kindness and
love. I am pleading for a time when
hatred and cruelty will not cdntrol
the hearts of man, when we shall
realize that mercy in the highest at
tribute of man.”
Never in the history of the local
courts, Mr. Darrow told the judge,
has any culprit under 24 years of
age been hanged after a plea of
guilty.
“I do not know how much salvage
there may be in these two, poor, dis
eased minds,” he said. “It might be
merciful for your honor to tie a rope
around their necks and let them die
now. It might be merciful to them,
but certainly not to those two who
come after them.’
The salvation of youth is the high
est attribute of the state, Mr. Dar
row argued and characterized the
hanging of several Chicago boys af
ter jury trials as a “shame and a dis
grace.”
The attorney denounced as “poison
ed perjury” the testimony given by
one of the investigators for the state’s
attorney that Leopold, shortly after
his arrest, had expressed a hope of
escaping the hangman by “pleading
guilty before a friendly judge.”
He explained that his reference to
war was because, armed conflict had
always been followed by an era of
crime. He spoke of numerous veter
ans of the World war who had land
ed in courts after their return from
the trenches, where “honorable, up
right boys had learned how cheap was
human life.”
There were tears in Mr. Darrow’s
eyes as with faltering voice h? pic
tured the crumbling hopes of the par
ents of the boys and the effect of the
crime upon the future generations of
their families. His voice broke again
when he reached peroration
*T know,” he said, “that your honor
stands between the future and the
past. For me the future means the
hopes of the young. I plead for ife,
charity, kindness, sympathy and un
derstanding. And the future is with
me.
“Your honor may hang these boys;
but if you do you will make it harder
for every boy and girl in this land
and for the babes as yet unborn.
' “I am pleading that all life is worth
saving.
“My greatest reward, hope and
compensation will be that I have done
something for the tens of thousands
of boys who must follow the path
these two poor young Jews have
trod.”
In a stillness that was broken by
not even the muffled clicking of
“silent” typewriters or telegraph in
struments in the press seats, Mr. Dar
row added this verse from Omar
Khayam:
“So I be written in the book of love
I do not care about that book above;
Erase my name or write as you will.
So I be written in the book of love.”
Mr. Darrow concluded, court was
adjourned until tomorrow when At
torney Benjamin Bachrach will make
the final plea for the defense.

port for the presidency. Had not
Clay seen the condition of Crawford,
the latter probably would have be
come president of the United States,
physically wretched and mentally
weakened as he was. With Crawford
eliminated—for he was to all intents
and purposes eliminated after the
Clay interview, the Jackson men had
high hopes, believing Clay would not
dare endorse an Eastern man. The
Jackson men, however, suspected a
strong dislike of Jackson by Clay and
the practical politicans jumped into
the fray with more than conscience.
Mass' meetings were called and resolu
tions quietly passed demanding the
election of Jackson. Then came reso
lutions denouncing Clay for his re
ported support of Adams. Pamphlets,
letters, protests poured into Washing
ton like rain. Clay, shrewd politician,
however, saw through this backfire
warfare and ignored it.

Within a few days now and the
Presbyterian College football gridiron
will be alive with freshman warriors
under the leadership of Coach Lon
nie S. McMillian. Never in the his
tory of the institution has the out
look been so rosy and promising, both
with an enlarged student body and
some excellent new material for the
Freshman try-out.
Lonnie McMillian, who has been
elected assistant to Walter A. John
son, will have his hands full since he
is to preside over the entire destinies
of the Freshman football team.
Among those who will matriculate
at P. C. will be: Stamps, Wilson, Du
gan and Stephens, “stars” from the
Thornweli Orphanage championship
team of last year, and Witherspoon,
Timmons, Montjay and Blalock from
the Clinton high. All of these boys
have been coached by McMillian for
three years and this will give the
foundation for the greatest Freshman
team in the state. McMillian also has

Clay made a deal with Adams, selling
his strength in return for a promise
of the office of secretary of state.
Clay denounced the author of the
story as' a “dastard and a liar,” but
the story would not down. He de
manded a congressional investigation,
but the injury could not be overcome.
The lie travelled on wings, while the
truth crawled after it like a snail.
This situation revived the hopes of
the followers of Crawford. They felt
under the circumstances, that Cfty
convention and the man selected by
the majority became president.
As there was only one party when
these five candidates ran, a nomina
tion was the equivalent to election.
But the meagerly attended caucus

political apple cart and threw the

they were certain he would not go to
Jackson. Moreover to the bitter end,
Van Buren was in the ring for Craw
ford. As the day of election neared
there were fears of riots, threats of
bloodshed, even talkjif revolution. No
one knew what was in the mind of
Clay. Washington had a population
of 20,000. Every hotel and boarding
house in the city was bulging with
people.
The custom was to nominate candi
dates for election through caucus. The
election was then decided by roll call
of the House of Representatives,
Each state delegation was instructed
by its constitutents to vote for the
man selected by a majority of the
people of that district. Thus the
House of Representatives took on the
appearance of a present-day political

Adams, who took Missouri, Ohio and
Kentucky. This swing gave Adams
13 states, Jackson seven and Craw
ford four. The contest was decided
by the West. When the result was
announced the halls rang with hisses
coupled with the applause of the
Adams supporters. The uproar in the
galleries threatened to end in a riot.
But in the midst of the uproar, Clay,
majestic and calm, raised the gavel,
