LOEB DESCRIBED
 AS THE MASTER

it was all right and laughed and joked, possibly to calm myself, too.
 A Dreamer
 Loeb is basieally dreamer, the doe tors discovered. His reveries have pie tured himself as a world-famous detec- tive, a pirate leader or a successful, but extremely shrewd business man. He was never anything but the leader and always had plenty of onlookers to ap- plaud him.
 When he called upon a woman ae- quaintance shortly before the Franks murder, he told her he was a boot legger and he showed her q bullet hole in his shirt that he had received in a shooting scrape in saloon.
 The tale was one of pure, fabrication. the alienists declare.
 EeoDold, on the other hand, is the dreaming slave. He is able to invent unusual situations wherein he is to take the most dramatic partsT but always as the swaggering, bragging handy man aided by the moral support of some one upon whom he could depend.
 These opposite natures of the two companions, brought together coincideH. tally, first led the pair to trivial crimes to setting fire to shacks and to stealing automobiles ito see if their keys would work and at last to the Franks kid naping and murder. Such, in the lasi analysis, is the substance of the alien ists' report on the mental condition oi the confessed slayers.
 Master And Slave
 The relation of master and slave that existed between Leob and Leopold, the physchiatrists found to be firm and un- answering. Leopold had sworn to obey any order that his companion issued
 In minor, inconsequential or trivial matters, Leopold could argue, protest and even disobey, but in questions that Loeb thought had important bearing on any work at hand three words from him ended the dispute and his will pre- vailed. It was merely a coincident, and not that they had their eventual vic tim then in mind, that the two boys SC lected the phrase flor Roberts sake as the one with which Loeb would si- lence the protests of his followers.
 The eo-partners in crime, the sPe- cialists learned, had worked out a code. As an example, if one called the other and described to him a bargain al Twelfth street and Fiftieth avenue il would mean that he would want tO meet his companion at F 30 that day or night at a prearranged place.
 His Reasons
 The report says, ''the patient (LOeb) lists as his reasons for committing thG crime:
 First, the pleasure of planning it
 Second, the notoriety which the press would give to the crime and the faci that he would talk it over with OtheI people and derive thrill from his feel ing of superiority, in that he knew ths true facts about the crime, and
 "Third, the mony to be gained.'
 Asked if he would go through witt this crime again if he felt certain h, would not be discovered, he replied ''I believe would if 1 could get .th, money"
 FurtheR down the alienists declare
 ''rhe patients intellectual functions are intact, and he is obviously of higl intelligence. Neurological and physiea examinations was extensive, but it di, not show any pathology except the low basal metabolishm, which may be re lated to his relatively low inclina tiOns.''
 It was brought out by the examining specialists that the impulse in Loeb t. steal was so strong that about tW, months ago, or at about the time O the Franks killing, he stole sum o money from his family, although he di, not need it.
 The thought of death was apparentl, always at hand in the discussions be
