Jt'lKiK CAVKKLY'S DECISION
Hubby Frank's Slayers Are (iiven
Life Impriion m?nt IMus.
i
?,m?' i <i mm I
Chicago, Supfc, 10. The u-xt of
?Judge ( averly's decision in the
Frank's cast' follows:
"In view ot the profound ynd un*
usual inten t this case has around,
not only in this yommu.nily but in the
entire country, ami even beyond its
boundaries, the court feels it his duty
to state the -reasons which have led
him to the determination he has
reached. It is nut an uncommon
thing that the plea of guilty is j
entered in criminal cases, but almost
without exception in the past such
pleas have been the result of n vtr. i
Ulal agreement between. the defend-;
ant and the state's attorney, whereby,
in consideration of the pica, the !
spate's' attorney consents 'to yi com-' .
mend to tht.: cou? t n sentence <!t eincd. ?
appropriate by him and in tin ab- j
scnce of special reason* t < ? the con-'i
travy, it is the practice H'. the- court
t.> follovv such i t v i > m me tufy; i ioiis. \
Vin the present cas.i? the si I iT--, Ton '
is a ? different one. ? A plea of Kuilty !
has been enten d by jhe. defc 1 Liu. -wi iltJ
out a previous understanding.' With
the prosecution and without /J any
knowledge whatever on its part.
Moreover, the plea of guilty did not
in this particular case, as it usually
does, render the task of the prosecu
tion easier by substituting admission
of guilt for a possibly difficult and
uncertain chain of proof. Here the
state was in possession, not only of
essential, substantial facts, but also
of voluntary confessions On the part
of the defendants. The plea of guilty,
therefore, does not make a special
case in favor of the defendants.
"Since both of the cases, namely,
that of murder and that of kidnaping
for ransom, welvof^a character whiCft"
invested the eourt?*Hv44h din -as
to the extent of the punishment, iT
became his duty under the statute to
examine witnesses as to the aggrava
tion and mitigation of the offense.
This duty has been fully met. By
consent of counsel for the state and'
for the defendants, the testimony in
the murder case has been accepted as
equally applicable to the case of kid
naping for ransom.
"In addition, a prima facie case
was made out for the kidnaping case
as well.
"The testimony introduced, both by
the prosecution and the defense, has
been as detailed 'and elaborate ;ij
though the case had been tried before
a jury! It has been given the widest
publicity, and the public is so fully
familiar with all its phases that it
would serve lio useful purpose to re
state or analyze the evidence..
"By pleading guilty, the defend
ants have admitted legal responsibil
ity for their acts, the testimony has
satisfied the court that the . ease is
not one in which it would have been
possible U> set up. sucee ssfully the
defense of insanity as insanity is de
fined and understood by the estab
lished law of this state, for the pur
pose of the administration of crim
inal justice.
"The court, however, feels impelled
to dwell briefly on the jnass of data
produced as to the physical, mental
and moral condition of the two de
fendants. They have been shown in
essentia! respects to be abnormal;
had they been normal they would not
have committed the crime. It is be
yond the province of this court, as it
is beyond the capacity of human
science in its present slate of devel
opment. to predicate ultimate respon
sibility for human acts.
"The testimony in this case reveal*
a crime of singular atrocity. It i~,
in a senstv inexplicable; but it is not
thereby rendered less inhuman or re
pulsive. It was deliberately planned
and prepared for during a consider
able period of time. It whr- executed!
with every feature of callousness and 1
cruelty.
"And here ihe ( ?urt will say. n -t |
for the purpose extenuating guilt. I
but mere!\ with the ob'ect of
pel ling a misapprt hri -;"i: that ap
pears to ha\e found ' m^nt t r. ? ?

abuse offered to t lie body of the \ -
tim. But it did not need that element,
to make the crime abhorrent to every j
instinct of humanitv. and the court [
is satisfied that neither in the act it
self nor in its motive or lack of mo- j
tive, nor in the antecedents of the ,
offenders can ho find ar.y mitigating j
circumstances.
"For both the crime of murder ar.d .
kidnaping for ransom the law pre- j
scribes ^different punishments in the1
alternative.
"For the crime of murder, the
statute declare*:
" 'Whoever is guilty of murder
or imprisonment in the penitneshal!
shall suffer the punishment of death,
or imprisonment in the penitentiary
for his natural life, or for a term not
last than 14 years. If the accused is
found guilty by a jury, they shall fix
the punishment by their verdict; upon
a plea of guilty, thy punishment shall
be fixed by the court.'
"For the erime of kidnaping for j
raliwiw thv statute reads: i
'WhosoeVer j#. guilty of kidnaping
for ran>K>m shall suffer death, or he
punished by imprisonment in the pen
itentiary for life, or uny term not ?
less than five years.'
"Under the ploa of sanity (lie duty
of determining the punishment tie
volves upon the court and the Jaw
indicates no rule or policy for the
guidance of his discretion. 1 11 reach
ing his decision, the court would have
welcomed the counsel and support of
others. In some states the legilature
in its wisdom has provided' for a
bench of three, judges to determine
the penalty in cases, such as thin.
Nevertheless, the court is willing to
meet his responsibilities;. It would
ha\c been the ptvth of least resistance
to impose the extreme penalty Of the
law. 4fn choosing impi isoivment in
stead of deat)i, the court is moved
chielly by the consideration of tho
age of . the defendants, boys of 18 atul
1'J years. It is not for the couit to
s.i\ that lie will not in any case en
forcu capital punishment as an alter?
lliiiivc, but-.thc court boliovv* *bat it
is within his province to- decline, to
impose the sentence of death on per
sons who ate not of full age.
"This determination appears to be
in accordance with the progress of
criminal law' all over the world, and j
with the dictate of enlightened hu- \
inanity. More than that, it seems to
be in accordance with the precedents
.1
heretofore observed in this state. The
records of Illinois show only two
cases of minors who were put to j
death by legal process? to which
number the court does not feel in- I
dined to make an addition.
"Life imprisonment may not at the I
moment strike the public imagination '
forcibly as would death by hang- j
ing| bi|t to the offenders, particularly j
of the type the.\*" are, the prolonged
suffering of years of confinement mav
well be the severer form of retribu
tion and expiation.
"The court fels it proper to add a
final Word concerning the. parole law
upon, the punishment of these de- ,
fert'dants. In the case of such atroc- j
ious crimes it is entirely within the
discretion of the department of wel
fare never to admit these defendants

are now shooting Remington Game Loads.
With all due respect to any specified load you are
now shooting ? give Remington Game Loads a try
out on your next shooting trip.

never known before. They are scientifically loaded to
a uniform standard of velocity, pattern and penetra
tion, all with moderate recoil.
This idea of specific loads for specific game is

how absurd it was to have 3200 different shotgun
loads ? when there are only a few kinds of game
hunted with shotguns.

right load ? the best load ? for each kind of game.
Remington Game Loads are loaded with the highest
