mind whether they shall live; or

tmirdor of young Robert Franks.
Whin these two millionaire
thrill-killer* r'-tli' from tin- ; lain
our of tin lu?U Million dollar
trial they have provoked, to the
dreary monotony of cell life while)
aw it I iik Judgment, they will
have witn.-*xed the full upeciacle '
of Anierlcau Justice workinK at
^Top Speed. There has been almo**
unexampled progresrt from the
time of the murder, with the ma
chinery of Justice workinK evenly
at every TuFiT Yet the killers ar<
unsi'iitenced after three months.
Thin shining example- of the
ways of Justice in the modern age
of new-fangled mental theories
had its liu-cptiuii on May 21. Near
ly loo days a^O, the two dap|n-r
prodigies. 'Nathan Leopold. Jr..
and Richard- l<oeb, with 19 years
of life and university education.'
ha. k of - Ilium, -equipped . thein
Helvis with-o -p?*lE of (ieltl glasses
and a cold chisel and started forth
to find a victim for the thrill
murder they had plotted carefully
_hi_r ?m.nnmHm.
They were soiu of millionaires,
fed up on all the various "kicks"
in life that money could buy. But
they felt that one more thrill was
needed to round out their lives.
This, they decided, they could ob
tain bv kidnapping ana killing
one of the neighborhood boys.
Through their field glasses they
spoiled Robert Franks. 14 year
old son of Jacob Frunks. a mil
lionaire pawn broker. Loeb. who
hud played tennl* with young
Franks the day before, enticed
him Into the automobile they hud
hired for the occasion. Leopold
drove off frnd Loeb smashed the;
boy's head with tho cold chisel
This done, the youths put info
? fdav? llicir plot t? nhtnln ransom
from the father by a clever let
ter ruse. Two orimes carrying
.with thfm the death penalty wer
VJius committed ? kidnapping for ;
ransom and murder.
At this tline this consideration
did not bother the killers. They
took the body to the unfrequent
ed flats south of Chicago aud bid
it in a culvert satisfied that the
"perfect crime" had been com
mitted and covered In every de
tail. A chance pssser. however,
discovered the murdered boy. and
set under way one of the clever
est known pieccs of detective
Once the body was identified,
all the forces of Chicago's police
department were set in motion to
IIimI the killers. There instructor.!
at th" exclusive Harvard school
which young Franks hnd attend
ed were subjected to the most se
vere of third degree examinations
They were practically areused of
the crime, when a pair of glusses
dropped by I*eopold after shov
Iiik tho murder victim Into tfce
cffKert. were traced, and the!.'
ownership established.
l/eopolri nnd Loeb had been tak
ing an active part In the hunt for
?the rs. Now tliey w > n sub ?
Jetted to examination nnd after
a thorough grilling by State's
Attorney Robert B. Crowe, final
ly admitted their crime on the,
night of May 30. The boys, pa
m tiling their intellectual accom
plishments. were thrown Into Jail
whete they remained until July
21 when their trial got under
way.
In all this time not n hitch was
thrown in Ihe way of apeedy Jus
tice. Picas of guilty were, enter
ed on July 21. further cutting
tli rough ihe inaae of usual court i
jirocenure. Hut then a new ele-j
nifiif in murder trials was Injected
by Clarence Harrow, defense al
toVney -a plea of mental Irre
'sponsihlllty as csuse for mitlga- ,
lion i>f punishment. The solid
magtji. of court battle has cen
tered nround this hitherto unused
clnlm for leniency.
Pretty theories of phantaxy
live* lived by tho slayers ? clever
pictures of compound mental
complexes that bAund tho youths
in a strange pact ? glib descrlp
tlons of various gland aliments or
l he killers were outlined by high
ly paid psychiatrists, psychologist*
pnd gland experts. These In turn
were dubbed the purest of hum
b iK t ?nd sheer buncombe by eml
? psychiatrists. psycholo
rfl-u and gland experln for th
gt.ite.
With life Imprisonment the b"st
I bey e.-in expect, these boy* by
their plea of mental Irresponsibil
ity have tied up ono court for ?
solid mi. nth. They are an ehtpper
as any pair of lively college boy*
when contemplating the spectacle
they have made.
Hut their play Is about over
now and rude actoalltic* are
about to enter. Probably the
youth of the boys may cause
