DARROW TALKS TODAY ON "CAPITAL PUNISHMENT"

LAWYER IS FOE OF TOPIC HE TREATS

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Clarence Darrow, criminal lawyer, materialistic philosopher, and radical thinker, will speak in the Paine Concert Hall at 4:30 o'clock today on "Capital Punishment." The address is being given under the auspices of the Phillips Brooks. House Association, and takes the place of a lecture which was scheduled last December, and which Mr. Darrow was forced to cancel.

Foe of Capital Punishment

In many famous criminal cases of the past decade, among them the trial of Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, Mr. Darrow has fought capital punishment, and has succeeded in saving a number of convicted felous from the death penalty.

Professor K. F. Mather, of the Department of Geology, will introduce the speaker. Professor Mather was called as a witness by Mr. Darrow in his defense of John Thomas Scopes in the evolution trial in Tennessee, but his testimony was not allowed.

The supply of 600 tickets issued for the meeting has been exhausted, and as a consequence those who do not hold tickets will be unable to gain admission.
