Crowe, in his statemeat, review
ed the details of the conebinty,

Leopold and Loeb longed to
kill—they cared not who their

said. It was only by ebaoeo that,
they fell upon tbe Franks boy.
Crowe told how tbe finding of
Leopold’s spectacles led to the

extracted the confession.
“We will show that all of tlMM .

“And in the name of the peopletrf
Illinois, in the name of the mdfn-

state we will demand that these
wicked, cruel, atrocious murderers

Gerroll then- asked the court for

argued the boy waa killed withfttt
pain and said the defenao objaelg-
to the “ruthless appeals to «*
