This morning. Judge John It. Civ

go proncuiicd life sentences on N'a
than V. Leopold, Jr., and Richard
Loeb. son of the vice president of
the Soar-Roebuck Co., both boy? be
ing, members cf two of tho very
wealthy families of Chicago.
i The cute has attracted world-wide
i int'-re?' the crime was one of the
! mc-t revolting and cruel murders in
; the i'nna's of crime in the United
States and the demand in Chicago
has b-en very strong for the death
penalty as prescribed by the law of :
the state of Illinois for the crime of
murder. j
When the court assembled this
morning there wore many armed 1
guards around th : criminal court:;
buildinj and in aad near the court !
rrom as many threats had been mode !
of v:oTenee in the case of the two ,
"millionaire murderers." j
Tho murder of little Robert j
Franks stirred Chicago as no other j
crime in many yenrs lias done and in j
the trial of the ense in the court of
Judge Caverly there were hundreds
jn attendance at the hearings which
were held before the court instead of
a jury trial as the two defendants
pleaded guilty and made their de
fense on the basis of dual mental
personality and a form of insanity.
The state has battled for the death
sentence since the commencement of
the cave and the attorneys in charge
of the case have scored in blistering
language the crime and the two con
fessed murderers who perpetrated it.
The crime was the most revolting
and degenerate murder in the his
tory of this country and the feeling
against the life sentence has been
very intense and this feeling will be
intensified by the act of the court.
