The youngsters were reviewed by no less a person than General Mangin and, as the band struck up the stir ring old song, they marched erectly with shining faces with a demeanor even more military than that of the French infantry regiment, cavalry de tachment and marines platoon, which were detailed to honor the American dead lying in the lofty cemetery perched upon a hill top, from which the Arc de Triomphe and the Eiffel tower loom up hazily and almost in significantly in the distance. Despite the sultry weather, the ceremony was attended by a large crowd of Americans and French per sons. C. A. Alrwin of Denver, whose son is burled at. Suresnes, made a moving address, after which a chorus of 80 young girls from the normal school ot' the Seine department sang the Apotheosis, by Berliozud.

Sheldon Whltehouse. counsellor of the American embassy, representing Ambassador Herrick, briefly recalled that the ‘‘spirits that went forth at Chateau Thierry and the Argorree are one with those of Gettysburg and Santiago.

Prosecutor Crowe charged. They shifted the blame upon each other, however, when asked who struck the blow, the state's attorney said. In giving in part the details of the kidnaping, State’s Attorney Crowe said the boy was struck with the chisel as they sat In the rented auto mobile and then a gag was thrust In the boy's mouth, which strangled Hm.

With the body on their hands, they had used acid in an attempt to dis figure it beyond recognition, and then stripped It of clothing in the lonely spot where it was taken, Frosecutor Crowe asserted. liven r-\ By Internnlloiiai »w* Serylre. • ( liicago. May 31.—Detectives to day pronounced the conception ami commission of the kidnaping and murder of Robert Franks one of the most ingenious in history. They disclosed further details of the carefully laid plans, asserting that Jacob Franks was to have been directed to take the $10,000 in ransom money with hint on a train leaving Chicago. As he passed through a certain town he was to have been ordered to throw the package from the train in front of a certain large sign. The kidnapers were to have been waiting in a high-powered auto mobile to seize the money and flee ^ with great speed. ^ ether had been provided by the kid napers, he said, as a precaution to overpower resistance. While the boys were telling yester day somewhat glib, yet apparently frank stories of their movements on May 21, and of their past activities, the police were almost won to their side. The bojs frankly said the cir cumstances looked bad against them. However, the state's attorney's men were examining their rooms and personal papers and effects. _ They found a letter Leopold had written to Loeb referring to a quarrel they had had. The letter gave signs zS'f their brief legal instruction. "I still want you to feel that we are on_an equal footing legally," Leopold wrote, "and therefore I purposely committed the same tort of which you were guilty." Relatives and friends of the two families vigorously declared their dis belief that the boys had confessed, long after State's Attorney Crowe had announced that the mystery had been solved, Mr. Crowe derlared the solution of the ca^e had depended entirely upon the spectacles found near the spot where the hoy's body was discovered in the railroad culvert. After a thorough Investigation it was discov ered the spectacle's frames were made in Prooklyn and that the pre scription for the lenses was identical tvith a prescription for glasses sold to Leopold by a Chicago optical con cern. Then Leopold was arrested. Visited Scene. The youth frankly said that the glasses were like his and that he had visited the srone 50 times or more on his ornithological studies. Young Leopold's room is filled with specimens of birds and fow ls of many kinds. In sll his rambles, almost daily. Leopold was watching for birds, alert for some unusual specimen or some new habit of a feather subjert. He has written many articles for orni thological publications, was consider ed a brilliant student and had this year begun the study of law. Loeb, too, was rated a good student. The wealthy Loeb family Is very it well known. Leopolds family, less rich ami less well known, neverthe less has been prominent. The homes of both families were great houses in the wealthy Hyde Hark district on the south side, immediately north of the University of Chicago. Father Stunned. Leopold s father, Nathan Leopold, sr, on the verge of collapse appar ently, and accompanied by Jacob Loeb, wealthy insurance man and for mer president of the Chicago school board, and unple at Richard Loeb, went to the state’s attorney’s office accompanied by an attorney this morning. Neither would say any thing, although the lawyer said they had come "to find out what it is all about." Leopold, sr., appeared to have aged over night, the state’s attorney’s aides said. The two prisoners were not there, however, having been taken away to recover the clothing and other evi dence of the crime. Jacob Franks, father of the slain boy, said It was difficult for him to conceive that the two boys-—or any other human, had kidnaped and killed the little fellow. He said he had just slept for the first time In ,1fi hours when awakened and informed of the alleged confessions. "It is difflctilt to understand," he rema rked. Relatives of both youthful prison ers refused to believe the story of the state's attorney. "That's a lie, that hoy cannot be guilty," said Nathan Leopold, sr. Can't Believe It Ernest Loeb, brother of Richard Loeb, also received the information given out by the state's attorney with incredulity. "It cannot be so," he asserted. "We know exactly where Dick was every hour of this particular Wednesday.”, Loeb is the son of Albert H. Loeb, millionaire vice president of Sears, Roebuck & Co. I^opold’s father is a very wealthy box manufacturer, said to be especial ly well known in lake shipping circles. Starts to Break Down Slates Attorney Crowe said young Loeb started to break dowm at 1 a. m. The beginning of the break of both youtha was said to have occurred when the state’s attorney told Leopold that the Leopold family chauffeur had told them that young Leopold’s car was In the garage the night the Franks boy disappeared. Leopold had said that he and Leob had been rid ing around, drinking gin and whisky that evening and had invited two girls into the car and that they had reached the Leopold home about 10:30 o'clock that night. "The little fellow was killed hv s blow on the head and then strangled," State's Attorney Crowe derlared. "A chisel wraped with tape was used to strike the blow." The chisel was found by Herald and Examiner reporters about four blocks from the school which the Franks boy attended. Acid tsed. Slate's Attorney Crowe added that ether was to be used if the boy bad not been killed as he was. This, he said, was all explained in the con fession. Leopold and Lopb accused one an other of striking the blow with the chisel. Leopold was entirely ralm ss he made his confession, Mr. C rowe said. "Leopold was nonchalant," he added. The discoloration on the boy’s lips was caused by acid. State s Attorney Crow-e declared. Similar acid, he as serted, was found In Leopold s room. The acid, he declared, was Intended •to disfigure the slain boy in order to prevent Identification. Both youths were together the night of the kidnaping and after the killing when Mrs. Franks, the mother, was called to the telephone by a man who told her her eon had been kid naped and was safe. The following day, Mr. Crowe said, young Loeb telephoned from a drug store to the Frank* home, directing the method of delivering the {10,000 ransom. Had Withdrawn Hansom. Mr. Franks, the grief stricken father, had withdrawn the {10,000 de manded from the bank and had It In his home, wrapped and scaled as di rected by the special delivery letter received the morning of May ?2, the day after the kidnaping.

Because hp did not understand the exact location of the drug store, where he was directed to take the money, he was unable to deliver it. He. then supposed hts son still was alive, although the boy actually had been slain the night before and was dead even before the telephone call received by the mother about 10 o'clock the night of May 21. Leopold, after making hi* state ment to Mr. Crowe as composedly as though he were going about his or dinary daily routine, posed for news paper photographers, and after the cameras clicked, calmly lighted a cigaret. Young Leopold appeared the most affected by wtiat had taken place, hut in spite of the Jong, grinding ordeal, he did not appear crushed. Shortly before the' alleged confes sions, young Leopold made a lengthy and direct declaration of innocence, asserting that if he were guilty, he would say "punish me." He said: "1 am the victim of an unusual set of circumstances. First—the place where the body w-as found. I was there hundreds of times. I am very familiar with th> scpn». My studies in orinithology took me there often. Second—the glasses. I believe they are mine. How they got there 1 do not know. Possibly I lost them, but it is an unusual coincidence. Third —that I went to visit the scene of the murder several day's previous to the commission of the crime is true. But I have been there since, too and hundreds of times. Fourth—Wednes day night (May 21) where was I day and night? It is an unfortunate fact that Hick Loeb and I had an affair with two girls, whom I don’t know and who were undoubtedly with us at this moment. I don't even know the color of their hair. Fifth—the hand writing. I can't say much about that yet. They have lots of my mall and writing and they are comparing them for similarity. Conscience Clear. "I am absolutely innocent of any connection with this distressing af fair. My conscience is clear, but 1 am making no fight. I want to give all the aid and co-operation pcfgslble and if they find me guilty I would say 'punish me.’ " Questioning of young Leopold and Loeb continued from late yesterday until dawn. Authorities sought an ex planation regarding two bottles found in Leopold's room and said by them to contain poison and a tightly rolled bundle of newspaper, fashioned like a Hub snd tied with a rope. Such and Instrument, the poliee said, could lie used to render a Trail person un conscious. No effort will he made to gain the release of Leopold by legal proceed ings until the authorities have had a reasonable time to complete their investigation, Nathan Leopold, sr.. said last night. He said he wished la do everything to aid the authorities in making a thorough Investigation so that ail shadow of doubt might be removed from his son. "My position and the position of my son," he said, "will be that of doing nothing to obstruct the effort of the police and the state's attorneys to run down every Hue which will in any way bring the guilty party to justice." Investigator" relaxed efforts on other angles of the case while they questioned the hoys. imiiiiHiiiiiHiHiiiiiiiiiiniiiiiniiniitiiiiii Pershing l rges r o Preparedness General Sa)?

Speaking here tonight at the dedi cation of the soldiers' memorial of the city, General Pershing said: "It is especially given to the soldier to realize fully the price of liberty. Those to whom we pay tribute here today volunteered their services In the full vigor of yonth. They left their homes encouraged by loved ones, marching to battle under patriotic Inspiration. Usually untrain ed for the tasks and duties of war, the fulfillment of their obligations re quired the greater stoicism and de termination.
