 Report AnaIyzed
 That night Dr. H. Douglas Singer, a state alienist, read the report and then it went to Thomas Marshall, assistant states attorney, who analysed and cross-indexed it. Today Mir. Grove re- lied upon the notes of his assistant in bringing out his points that money was the motive for the crime, that the de- fendants had exhibited emotion and that no hereditary taints had been found by the defenses examiners.
 He quoted too a remark by Dr. Healy that the report had never been intended to reach the states attorney.
 The letters concerning Boeb's gam bling for high stakes and heavy win nings were introduced early in the pro- ceedings. They went into the record on motion of the state as part of a batch of documents dealing with de- tails of the case.
 'eThat letter isn't in the record" said Benjamin Bachrach when Mir. Grove started reading the missive in which Allan Loeb admonished his brother that he was ''going too high" in his gam bling.
 IT. "Oh, yes, it is," said the states at torney and handed it to the defense at- torneys.
 Richard Unaffected
 Allan Loeb flushed slightly at this episode, but 1t did not seem to bother Richard The latter even said to Mil ton Smith, an assistant states attorney, as they passed each other when court adjourned that the letter from Allan would explain where he had obtained all the money he had deposited in two bank accounts.
 MT. Grove read these bank records immediately after calling the courts attention to the letters. They showed deposits of from $50 to $730 each, numbering a score or more and com ing on dates when Locb's monthly al- lowAnce of $250 was not due from his father.
 ''Where did he get this money?" asked Mir. Grove and left the question unan- swered for Judge Caverly's considera- tion overnight.
 MT. Grove spent much of his time in elaboration of his theory that money had everything to do with this crime.
 Money, money, money" he once shouted. Money all through this evi- dence. Money for gambling debts. Money for ransom. Money for a trip to Europe. Money for bribing jailers to help escape the just penalty of the crime. Money for defense. And money for teddy bears and cowboy suits"
 And then he turned his energy to the task of absolving both heridity and en- vironment He read from the cele- brated report concerning Loeb:
 After the most extensive investi- gution we find nothing in his family history or in his training which con tlibuted to this crime"
 And later, concerning Leopold from the same report.
 'GThere is nothing in the examina- ticn- to indicate that his family, either by commission or omission, is respon- Eible for his act."
 'Your honor has been told that these criminals have no emotions. You have been told that they are two mad boys wandering about in a childish wilder ness of phantasy.
 "I read from the report. Loeb is telling of his thoughts anent the pos sibility of being caught
 "'I had considered the possibility of not being caught. was certain my father, a sick man, could not stand the shock
 "Is that feeling or emotion, your honor?
 "Again. Loeb tells that in the death car with Leopold after life had been beaten out of their victim:
 CT had a hard time quieting my companion. It took me five minutes to quiet him.
 And then the prosecutor turned a few pages to read a quotation from Leopold at the time he was witnessing the death of Bobby:
 My God, this is terrible. This is
