Leopold has admitted typing the letter demanding $10,000 ransom from Jacob Franks, father of the victim, Mr. Crowe said.

Each of 10 Rounds Won by Gibbons Idol of France I? Completely Outclassed and Fans Yowl Disapproval Toward the End. Tom Fights Too Cautious By DAVIS J. WAI.SH, 1. V. N. Sport* Editor. Michigan City, Ind., May 31.—Once upon a lime there was a French doll of a man, with China blue eyes, a swejt smile, flaxen hair and the gen eral repute of being a first class fighter. But he made the mistake cf playing a return engagement before a critical American assemblage and what the multitude saw was some thing disheartening. Georges Carpentier attempted to dally with Tom Gibbons for 10 rounds this aftprnoon and at the end his China blue eyes held a dazed, vacant look, his flaxen balr was sadly rum pled, his smile bloody and his repute sour. , He no longer was the debonair French doll and a crowd of 30,000 drawn to the spot by the promise of a great international frolic, expressed its knowledge of the change that had been effected by yowling in the late rounds: "Oh, you bumf "Fight, you dogf and similar pleasantries. Tom Too Cautious. But Georges, having been in violent reverse from the first moment to the last, declined to respond, claiming that he had injured a careless ankle in slipping to the floor in the ninth round. He did not have tns lead in a single round of the 10 and only Tom Gibbons' compassion, or perhaps super-caution, permitted the proceed ings to continue to their noxious end. It was a simple case of a one punch man finding no target for his vagrant right. Many times and oft, Georges shot a punch into the air, hut it came to earth he knew not where—with profound apologies to the late Mr. Longfellow. Gibbons slipped all but one of them with his head, picked them oft with his gloves or was going sway when they ■ landed harmlessly. One Burst of Speed. The lone .exception came In the fourth round. Her* Carpentier scored with a left to the jaw and followed With a flashing right to the same spot. But Gibbons merely stepped back, blinked twice and came on to the attack again: He forced the pace always. That fourth round1 punch was just a flash in the skillet. Merely a shot in the dark and then a hasty run for cover. Not a heroic figure, surely: even a French doll might have been expected to do no less. The injured ankle In the ninth round also failed to strike the popu lar fancy. It seemed to be the com mon impression that Georges had no stomach for the further proceedings and was looking f r what is inele gantly known as an "out." Gameness (Exhibited. in just.ee. however, to Carpentier, admission must be made that he did go on tii the end. hobbling about with evident pain. It might h* mentioned further that Georges stood up under a terrific haltering and that he could barely make the riffle to his comer at the end of the seventh, eighth and ninth round*. A good punch might have finished him but Carpentier ap parently had no desire to be fin ished. What really hung heavy on the public conscience was the six day race that Georges persisted in mak ing of the affair. A grea crowd had I**ud plenty to witness a two-man en gagement and got action from only ore of them. Hence Its disapproval.
