citizen as he talked on the stand
OF his own amaZement in Loeb'S
case. He reiterated several times
that Dicky's astounding demeanor
all the. way through the case in
the commission Of the crime itself,
and in his cool, disinteersted atti
tude during the trial, could only be
explained by "disordered per-
Gonality."
Doctor Glueck came back again
and again to the phrase, "disor-
dered personality" Whereas the
other alienists have applied various
descriptions, to the case. mentally
diseased" mentally. disordered"
and. "paranoid personalities" Doc
tor Glueck chose. to stick to his
own diagnosis, "disordered personal.

Has "Split Personality" ,.--.
"This boy" said Doctor Glueek,
''fs suffering from disordered per-
sonality, arising principally from d
profound pathological discord be-
tween his intellectual and emo
tional beings.
intellectually he is capable of
orienting himself with regard to
the various situations that arise
about him, but he is quite in
capable of Aendowing these situa-
tons with any emotion.
ain this sense IT may he said he
has a split personality
With regard to the causes Of
this remarkable condition. Doctor
Glueck was mainly in accord with
an the other alienists who have
preceded him-a home or great
wealth, youthful precociousness,
childhood phantasies, and tn e
growth Of his intellect while the
emotional side of his nature lay
dormant. stagnant and finally
ehrivelled.
He carried these childhood phan-
tastes, the aIienist. said, forward
into. his life as 1t approached ma
kurity.
That completed the psychiatric
picture of Loeb, and Doctor Glueck
then took up Leopold.
Leopold Sublime Egotist.
The Immediately striking thing
about Leopold, Glueck said, was
his unusually active brain and we'll
developed intellect. Leopold is
slightly more emotional than Loeb.
although he is astonishingly lack
ing in this respect
HE told me-" said Glueck, that
from the age of seven. or eight he
deliberately set out to kill all
sympathy, conscience and other hui
man emotions within him."
Leopold made considerable prog
ress in this respect, Doctor Glueck
found, and the result was that his
intellect became overly developed
ara his emotional side, like that
Of Loeh's, stunted. warped and
twisted.
His intellect is really superior"
Doctor Glueck said.
The intellectual progress that
Leopold made, however, made of
him a naturally sublime eEotist
and this egotism became more and
more pronounced as he progressed
In his education.
Laughed at Mrs. Franks.
Leopold never displayed any more
compassion or sympathy or remorse
than did Loeb in speaking of the
Franks crime, Glueok said. The
doctor recounted one c\Nversation
he had with both hos in the
course Of which Loeb 'vas ',nsked
''how did you feel when NJ ''',,nkh
was on the stand" and he re-
piled: e..
"Oh, I di1N't have any feeling
at all" e..

AS Loeb said he didn't have any
feeling at all at the sight of the
weeping mother of their victim
Leopold, the doctor said, broke in
and asked with laugh:
What do you mean, was he
Joyous or sad?"
