"CcmpOund Insanity" to be
Advanced by Attorneys
For Youths in Trial
INTERLOCK !?
MINDS
Attorneys Say Together They
Have Murder Impulse,
Singly They Have Not

Chicago, July 18.-A line of de-
fense based on a theory of COM
pound insanity for which attorneys
say there is no precedent in med
ical-legal history, will be advanced
in the trial of Nathan Leopold Jr.
and Richard Loeb, confessed kid
naper slayers of Robert Franks,
according to defense attorneys.
The youths are possessed of an
interlocking personality, their at
torneys say the reports Of alien
lists and mental experts, who ex-
amined them, show, so that to-
gether they are impelled to the
commission Of crime that neither,
alone, could have conceived.
The jury trying them will be
asked to consider the youths, mil
lionaires' sons and university grad
uate students, not as two person
alities, entities but as mergered
personality with the insanity of
each coinciding in murder i'm
pulse, it has been Indicated.
Meanwhile the prosecution, head
ed by States Attorney Robert E.
Grove announces it is prepared to
shatter the defense Of mental ir-
responsibility. The prosecutors
have consulted several mental ex-
perts in outlining their side of the
case.
"Any alienists who will take the
stand and testify that these boys
are insane is either knave or a
fool" States Attorney Grove said
Yesterday.
