boys. I little thought at the time I received them that before many weeks I would be sitting at the trial of my sons. kidnapers and murderers. I am more Convinced than ever that justice iS fBeine done and will be done. Mir, Grove is building a great case"
 Asked wheather he had examined the typewritten note of the ficticioue Morton D. Ballard" name both boys used at times when they were prepar- ing their plan to kidnap and kill in their attempt to extort money, he said there were specimens of the handwrit- ing and typewriting of both killers.
 Master Mind'' Shaken
 Loeb at times was noticeably shaken by some of the testimony, evidence that apparently had a significance for him that only he and Leopold and their de- fense counsel may have fully known. At times Loeb, who, the defense alien ists declare, was the master mind of the pair, leaned forward angrily in vehe- ment denial. Frequently he and Leo- pold were in conversation with their at torneys, Clarence S. Darrow and Ben jamin Bachrach.
 Darrow and Bachrach had thrust aside their previously maintained atti- tudes of indifference of the damaging testimony introduced by the state and took keen interest in the proceedings. They asked many questions. They in- sisted on minute examination of the letters, cards and other documents in- troduced as exhibits. Even during the noon recess Darrow spent considerable time over the message sent by the slay- CTS to Franks demanding ransom, a later note containing an assurance that the Franks boy was safe, and another containing instructions to Jacob Franks of how to prepare the ransom money board train and throw the parcel out of a window.
 Hotel Cards Offered
 Grove then showed the witness ho- tel registration cards bearing the sigma ture of Morton D. Ballard" and asked.
 Tn whose handwriting is this sigma tureY
 "The signature is the handwriting of Richard Loeb," Tyrell answered. Loeb flushed. Leopold squirmed and clutched Bachrach by the sleeve. Ap- parently he asked him to intervene. Bachrach arose but said nothing.
 The witness then was shown photo graphs which he had made of typewrit- ing done by Leopold, letters Leopold had written that had no direct connec- ton with the ransom notes, others written about subjects he studied at Chicago university and many other documents.
 The states attorney then produced the typewritten note that Jacob Franks had received demanding ransom for the return of Robert.
 Then Grove read what he character ized as the most cold-blooded missive of the series of three sent to Franks by the slayers.
 Most CoId.BlOoded Missive
 This note said in part:
 Dear Sir: No doubt. you know by this time that your son is kidnapped. For obvious reasons, make no attempt

gruder announced the Raleigh would sail Monday night for Hornafjord, Ice land, the first stop of the fliers after they leave the British Isles. The Rich mond will shove off through the dark waters of the first and fourth early Wednesday morning, bound for Kirk wall to await the planes.
 Warships On Guard
 At every jump the fliers make. through the misty skies, fleet of war ships will be skimming along their trail on the waters beneath, or will be ahead of them awaiting their arrival.
 Lieutenant Smith and .lis navigators will fly from Kirkwall Thursday for Hornafjord, arriving there on the same day over a route watched by the de- stroyers, Billingsley and Reid. On August l, the planes will leave Horn afford for Reykjawik, ti.e capital of Iceland, located near it's southwest coast. There the Richmond again will await the three tiny dots to appear in the sky. The lane from Hornafjord to Reykjawick will be patrolled by de- stroyers.
 The airmen will pause for rest in Iceland and will not begin their leap for Amagaslik, on the east coast of Greenland, before August or 5. Both the Raleigh and the destroyers will fol low their progress toward Greenland, while the Richmond stands by in the waters of Iceland until the planes are well under way. Then the Richn: ond, the speediest cruiser in the American navy, will proceed directly to cape Farewell, at the southermost tip of Greenland, to await the fliers before their final hop to the American main- land.

 It was from this concern that the slayers obtpined the car in which they abducted and murdered young Franks.
 The court reporter had fniished read. ing the preliminary statements made by Leopold attending the confession when Grove suddenly decided to discontinue the reading until Tuesday morning. Court then adjourned. Tuesday the com- plete confessions of both Loeb and Leo pold win Dc read, according to Grove, with additional statements relating to the study the two slayers made of books on physical and mental abnormalities.
