THREE NEW GEORGIA CONGRESSMEN APPARENTLY NOMINATED
CROWE'S CRITICISM
OF JUDGE CAVERLY
IS THINLY VEILED
“Statement of Facts” in the
Franks Murder Deplores
Life Sentence
" CHICAGO, Sept. 11—In a lengthy
“statement of facts’’ on the Leopold-
Loeb case made public alte this aft
ernoon, State’s Attorney Robert E.
Crowe criticized Justice
John R. Caverly for failing to sen
tence Nathan Leopold and Richard
Loeb to death for their murder of
Robert Franks.
It was the work on this statement
and the preparation of air-tight data
to prevent possible attempts to se
cure a parole for the boys that has
delayed their transfer to Joliet state
prison to begin to serve their sen
tences of life imprisonment.
Crowe addressed his “statement of
facts" to the clerk of the criminal
court of this county, and to depart
ment of public welfare of Illinois.
Crowe indicated he would not fur
ther hold up the start of the youths
to Joliet, and it was believed they
would get undef’ way later’ in the
evening.
Crowe’s statement reads in part:
“In malice, premeditation and de
liberation, the crime these defend
ants committed is unequalled in the
criminal history of this state. It is
an atrocious and cold blooded mur
der, perpetrated to extort a ransom
of SIO,OOO for return of this 14-year
old school boy after the defendants
knew that they had kiledl this school
boy in order to hide their crime.
Unfit for Society
“As to habits of these defendants,
evidence indicated acts of perversion
between Leopold and Loeb extending
over a long period of time. There
is no possibility of these defendants
ever becoming eligible for a return
to society.
“The evidence shows both defend
ants are atheists and followers of
the Nietzscean doctrines, and im
pressed with the idea that they are
supermen and what they did was
right because they did it; that they
are above the law, both the law of
God and the law of man; that they
had a right to commit murder or
any other crime, and that the law
had no application to them.
“The state’s attorney of Cook
county felt it to be his duty to de
mand from the court the extreme
penalty of the law, punishment of
death, and he is still of the opinion
that that is the only punishment
that fits the crime.
"Murder and kidnaping for ransom
of 14-year-old Robert Franks struck
terror to the hearts of every fathei’
and mother throughout the commu
nity, and without a doubt is the most
'terrible criminal offense that was
perpetrated in this generation.
“It is unfortunate for the welfare
of the county and the court that
they were not sentenced to death.”
Jail Is Threatened
After a night in which a new
threat to blow up the' county jail
brought SherJCf Peter M. Hoffman
speeding into Chicago at midnight,
Loeb and L«A’pold amused them
selves by playing cards pending the
•tart for Joliet.
Sheriff Hoffman disclosed the lat
est threat, a petition of many
others made by cranks, he said.
It was about 11:30 p. m., when he
received the anonymous telephone
call telling him that the jail was to
be blown up.
“I jumped into my car and came
miles an hour to the jail, ar
riving about midnight, just to make
sure that nothing had happened,” he
said. “After a thorough inspection,
everything appeared all right and I
returned home.”
Heavy Guarci Planned
The sheriff said he expected to
make the trip to the Joliet prison
with three automobiles in the of
ficial party, all guarded by heavily
armed deputies. The advance car,
he said, would be filled with officers
armed with shotguns loaded with
buckshot. In the second car Loeb
and Leopold would ride with four
armed guards. Another contingent
of guards with buckshot charged
guns would bring up the rear.
In the meantime the sheriff had
the guards doubled in the alley at
the rear of the jail yard. A crowd
of about 500 curious persons gather
ed outside the entrance to the jaii
but police details kept them moving.
Judge John R. Caverly, in one of
the most spectacular scenes in an
American court room, yesterday pro
nounced the sentence upon the two
boys whoje kidnaping and murder of
the Franks boy last May, and later
confession and the W rial that follow
ed attracted world-wide notice as
a case unparalleled in all jurispru
dence records.
Their First Manual Toil
Both boys, the sons of wealthy
and prominent Chicago business
men and reared in the lap of luxury,
must now beco: enrolled as life
prisoners and turn their activities
to long hours of hard labor, despite
the fact they have never known
what it is to toil with their hands.
The two young intellectuals were
sentenced to life imprisonment on
the n’ -rder charge and to terms of
ninety-nine years imprisonment for
kidnaping for ransom. Under the
latter sentence they cannot be re
?ed on parole until they have
served thirty-seven yea:.- in the
Joileu penitentiary. The life term
alone would have permitted such
release aft’r about twenty years.
However, Judge Caverly urged
that a parole never be granted Leo
pold and Loeb. He declared he
found no mitigating circumstance in
the crime itself, its motive or lack
of motive or in the personalities and
antecedents of the boys. But he ex
plained that he chose lif imprison
ment instead of death because of the
age of the defendants. Leopold Is
19 and Loeb IS.

for the defense, whose eloquent plea

NO IDEA OF INTERVENING,
JAPANESE LEADER SAYS
TOKIO, Sept. 11.—(By the Asso

difficulties of China, Baron Kijuro
Shidehara, the foreign minister, told
the Associated Press this morning
when asked to outline the Japanese
government’s policy in regard'to the
present civil war in China.
The baron declined to comment
further, asserting that his reply cov
ered all the questions asked includ
ing Japan’s position in Manchuria,
respecting General Chang Tso-Lin,
and the south Manchurian railway.
Although Japanese dispatches
from Mukden state that Chang Tso-
Lin is marching four brigades in
the direction of Jehol, in northern
Chihli, the best informed Tokio of
ficial opinion is that major hostili
ties on the Chihli-Manchurian front,
amounting to yt final showdown be
tween Chang and General Wu Pei-
Fu, are not likely at present.

Girls Seek Adventure,
Leopold-Loeb Fashion,
And Land in Lockup
EDWARDSVILLE, 111., Sept. 11.—
Going to school and living in Gil
lespie, Illinois, furnished little
“kick” for Margaret McMullen and
Olga Endruizzi, so the two 15-year
old girls decided to “hit the road”
i and look for a “thrill just like Leo
j pold and Loeb.” The two girls, held
' here on charges of highway robbery,
■ made the statement in their cells
; today. As in the Leopold-Loeb case,
the two needed a leader, and Mar
garet assumed this role, while Olga
preferred the role of the lady in
waiting. Leaving their home town
on foot, a kind motorist gave them
a lift and took them to Edwardsville.
A negro whom they held up in
front of a theater furnished the first
“thrill," when he disclosed he had
not a cent on him. Then came the
next “thrill.” It was in the form
of sixty cents which the girls got
from their second holdup victim, a
i battery service station owner.
Today resentment forced itself
upon the adventurers.
The girls are held here pending
word from their parents. It was
suggested by authorities here that
in the event the parents took the
girls home, they might be released
of the highway robbery charges on
parole. ’

Believed Inside Job

| tery of the disappearance of $250,000
worth of gems from the Long Island
home of J. S. Cosden, where Lord
and Lady Mountbatten are guests,
eteepened today.*
Investigators are convinced that
entry was not forced from the out
side of the building, reaching this
conclusion after they had made
minute examination of the premises
and had questioned the twenty serv
ants employed in the Cosden house

district did not stand fop another
term, and Sam Rutherford was lead
ing for this nomination by a good
majority over Ben Fowler. Both are
members of the Georgia house of .
