Scene in Chicago Court
 Room When Loeb and
 Leopold Pleaded Guilty

Chicago.-Dicing with the gallows, Nathan Leopold, ir., and Richard A. Loeb, millionaire youths and super intellectuais, today pleaded guilty to the murder of Robert Franks, 14-Year- old school boy, also the son of mill ionaire.
 Judge Caverly can sentence to hang ing if he desires.
 The prosecution immediately de- manded the gallows. The action of the boys came like thunder to the crowded court room, filled to overflow ing by a huge staff of attorneys for both state and defense. members of the Leopold and Loeb families, and hun dreds of morbidly curious spectators who gained admission despite the ef- forts ofa corps of 9 uniformed police men and sheri1's deputies.
 Clarence Darrow, sphinxlike dean of criminal attorneys, who is 67 years old and has been practicing law for 4hirty years in Chicago, entered the first plea for the boys. He stood erect, throwing his shoulders back, his voice increasing in volume as he spoke until he fairly shouted, ''the defendants plead guilty"
 The court, under the law of Illinois, might sentence the young college grad uates to death. Other sentences which he may pass are life imprisonment or imprisonment for any number of years over 14.
 Grove, dumbfounded and taken en- tirely by surprise at the plea of guilty, made no attempt to contest the action, but announced he would call every state witness to the stand so that the court may hear all the evidence in the case.
 Although slightly heavier than when they entered prison, the youths were markedly pale from their confinement Laopold's eyes, which have been con- sidered unusually bright and search ing, were watery! He gazed into space without apparently seeing anyone. His  agek father, the millionaire president of the Morris Paper Box Company, sat silently in the court room, tears trick ling down his rough face. Loeb, some what tall and more erect, faced the court with more composure.
 Young Leopold was called to the beuch and himself pleaded guilty Loeb followed him and did likewise.
 "Is it youg understanding that if you plead guilty to murder in this court, the court may sentence you to death or U the penitentiary for the period of your natural life, or for period of not less than fourteen years?" Judge Cav erly asked.
 1T understand, Leopold answered, his lips quivering. his oyes dropping to the floor.
 'Yes, I understand, ," Loeb answered, looking directly at the judge.
 "With this understanding, do you still wish to plead guilty?" the judge asked.
 II do,' Leopold answered.
 TT do." Loeb echoed.
