Chapter 40 Section 15

In fact, as a law student, Nathan had already heard of Dr. Darrow, a philosopher, writer and lawyer, and heard some of his legendary stories.For example, 30 years ago, Clarke served as the legal counsel of the Chicago Northwestern Railway Company, and then resigned resolutely in the case of several union leaders suing the company and the federal government, and turned to defend the union leaders.For example, over the past few years, Clara has repeatedly defended poor people all over the United States who cannot afford lawyers, without taking a penny, and has left a good reputation among the people.Another example is that Clarin rarely took notes when handling cases, but he almost never forgot any relevant details in court.Also, Krazhin’s office is poorly furnished, and the only decoration is a few portraits of what he calls “great men” on the wall, including Karl Marx.

Therefore, when this "people's spokesperson" finally agreed to accept Bobby Fanks' kidnapping and tearing-up case and appear in court for the defendant, and there were rumors that the bride price was as high as 1 million US dollars, it immediately caused the third sensation in this case.At the time, the million dollars was the highest attorney fee on record.People have been talking about it, saying that Dr. Claren Darrow is also a mortal after all, and there are times when he has an eye for money.In fact, Kraren has his own principles and plans.In addition to the titles that people bestow, Kraren is a philanthropist who believes that love breeds more love and hate breeds more hate.One of Krazhin's lifelong struggles was the complete abolition of the death penalty.In his past deeds, Krazhin had successfully rescued 102 clients from the gallows.This time, the emotions of the people in Chicago and even the whole of the United States have been irritated to the extreme by the criminal behavior of Nathan and Richard, and people can't wait to bring the two criminals to justice immediately.Kraren wanted to try to see if he could save two lives—two young lives—again amid such public outrage.

The other attorney representing the defense in this case was Benjamin Bachlach, who, though not as well-known as Crazen, was well known in the Chicago area for his several Mafia-related cases. Claren Daror was not able to see his two clients immediately.Attorney General Robert Corow detained the two criminals and invited three psychologists and psychiatrists to consult them.Chief Prosecutor Ke Luo is determined to sentence them to death this time. He knows that the only way for Nathan and Richard to escape the death penalty is to plead "not guilty" in court on the grounds of mental disorder.He wanted his experts to prove that Nathan Leop and Richard Lowe were sane, capable of discerning right from wrong, and capable of controlling their actions when they committed the crime.

After all, they are peers, and they are already familiar with their opponents' tricks. That's what Claren Darrow really thinks, and he must also hire experts to conduct an investigation on the mental state of Nathan and Richard from the perspective of the defendant. examine.Helplessly, the Attorney General had taken the lead and recruited the leading experts in the Chicago area, so Kraren could only move other experts elsewhere. At that time, the American Psychiatric Association was holding its 18th annual meeting in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Claren Darrow sent Benjamin Bahrach's younger brother, Walter, to make a special trip to bring three respected people including the president of the American Psychiatric Association to the meeting. The experts were invited to Chicago.

Day after day, experts conducted various forms of examinations, tests and evaluations on Nathan Leop and Richard Lowe in terms of physical, psychological and spiritual aspects, and also found their family members and Use people, as well as the second criminal's teachers, classmates, etc. to understand the situation.It is said that during this process, Nathan was full of energy and enthusiasm from beginning to end, because he rarely had such an opportunity to talk about himself with others, and he also liked to show his wisdom and talents in various tests.Richard was depressed and found it all so boring and tedious that he even fell asleep a few times during the test.

The 12 media outlets in Chicago are still as excited and busy as ever.Large and small pages are full of detailed reports about Nathan and Richard's life in prison, what they wear, what they eat, and what they do every day. Are the children of Gaoliang used to the life of being classified as a separate book in society?Richard quickly became acquainted with his fellow prisoners, but Nathan had a hard time entering a new role.When they go to court every day or with a few experts, they can wear their suits and ties as usual.But as soon as he stepped into the iron gate of the prison, he had to change back to the coarse prison uniform.What the two of them are most unaccustomed to is the food in the prison. At first, the family members ordered takeaways from various restaurants and delivered them in. Later, they simply asked Stern Restaurant to provide them with three meals a day, and they also delivered them at the time of each meal. Added a pack of cigarettes to the recipe.Although it was still the period of "Prohibition", Tyrell Klum, a reporter from the "Chicago Tribune", agreed to smuggle some alcohol for them during the interview in order to obtain "exclusive interview rights" with the Nathans.Tyrrell came to the prison every afternoon wearing two 4-ounce flagon flagons in his belt.Nathan or Richard could not wait to finish their drinks before answering reporters' questions.Back in his cell, he eagerly waited for Tyrell's next interview.

In mid-June, Alphonse Capri, a Chicago-area Italian mafia boss, was forced to surrender to police over a murder he had ordered months earlier.The news, which should have been sensational, was quietly buried in the deluge of reports about Bobby Fanks' murder, and it was hardly noticed.Someone later said that this is what Cappelli wanted.Cappelli's case was soon dropped after a key witness retracted his confession. The results of the consultation on the second prisoner by the prosecution and the defendant are strictly confidential.In order to satisfy readers' curiosity, the media have hired their own experts and scholars.Two local newspaper giants, the "Chicago Tribune" and "Chicago Herald", took the lead and sent a letter to Vienna, the capital of Austria in the European continent, inviting a famous doctor, psychologist, and master of psychoanalysis. Sigmund Freud came to the United States to conduct psychological and personality analysis for the two criminals. The Chicago Tribune quoted a price of $25,000, or whatever Mr. Floyd asked. The "Chicago Herald" stated that it was willing to accept any asking price from Freud, and because the master was in poor health at the time, the newspaper offered to charter all the first-class seats on a luxury ship for his trip to the United States.But in the end due to health reasons, the nearly seventy-year-old Sigmund Freud declined all invitations.
