Leopold bitterly denounced Loeb
for what he termed the latter's
weakness, and became so vehement
that he nearly collapsed.
Aside from this outburst~ against
his confessed aid in the kidnapping

joked, even making jests at Chief OF
Detectives Hughes.
Beth youths had spent the night
in a police station and while neither
had slept Leopold appeared calm
when the officers called. for the
prisoners in the morning. He also
exchanged pleasantries with a wait
ress, but Loeb was much disturb
ed.
Two cars bearing Leopold and Loci
and several officers started for Jack
son Park where search was being
made for the typewriter on which
Leopold said he wrote the extortol'
letter. When they reached stone
fridge over a narrow paSsag between
n lagoon and a yacht harbor they
found several thousands watching
the efforts TO recover the typewriter
Leopold got out of the car, push
ed his way through the crowd and
pointed to a spot in the water, say
ing the typewriter was there.

in pulling the wings from a fly, II u!
so doing he learns that without
wings the fly is helpless"

where Franks SHOES were found yes

Franks boys belt. He scraped aroune
with his hands and later with q rake
proffered by a farmer. He finally un-
covered the belt which had been cut
into sections, and buried in three
different spots. Loeb said he separ'
ated the belt to make it more diff
fcult to find, just as they had taker
the typewriter ribbons Off the TYNE
writer and thrown them in different
spots ir the lagoon.
The prisoners were then returned
to the park lagoon and a police cap
tain reported that the typewriter had
not been found but that ne was ar
ranging for an electromagnetic.
"a magnet will do you no good,
intruded. Leopold, ITS in a leather
case"
The youths were taken then to the
states attorneys office, but permits
sion to see them was denied their
counsel. The attorneys then went
to the home of Judge Caverley and
asked for writs transferring custody

Judge said that possibly he could
