This was positively stated several days ago by person close to the families of the boys, a man who is we'll acquainted with both the counsel for defense and the states attorneys staff.
 Leopold and Loeb are seriously con. sidering repudiating their confessions on the ground that whatever they said was forced from them. through fear. But they have as yet made no definite decision. There are some complicated legal questions involved in the matter, and Darrow may decide to advise them to let the confessions stand until the time of the trial.
 Meanwhile, while both. Grove and Darrow were busying themselves Mon- day with new angles of the complica ted case, the cook county grand jury re- sumed its investigation into. the cir cumstances attending the abduction and murder of the Franks boy.

 lieved Reached

WASHINGTON. June 9.-The Japanese government has notified the United States that it will abide by the gentlemen's agreement at least until the new immigration law becomes effective. July 1. This as- surance was contained in message to the state department from the embassy at Tokio, giving the atti- tude of the foreign office.
 It was prompted by Japan's fear that appropriation of large sum of money to cover losses by Japa- nese steamship companies incurred in supplying passage on special steamers to this country to Japanese who are anxious to reach American shores before July l might be con- strued as a violation of the agree ment.
 None of those benefited by this aid were persons who were barred by the agreement, it was stated. The gov ernment is giving the same careful scrutiny to passports as in the past, it was assured.

 Clarence S. Darrow. chief counsel for the two confessed Gayers, admitted that much Monday, but concerning other plans he maintained his usual enigmatic attitude. In fact, Darrow became SC evasive when he was questioned as to whether or not the prisoners would repudiate their confessions that States Attorney Robert E. Grove intimated something unexpected might happen during the arraignment of the prison. CTS.
 We know that every effort will be made to convince the court and the jury that these cold-blooded killers are and have been insane" Grove said Why, even now their counsel and families are consulting some of the greatest alienists in this country. This office is not deceived by any statements put out concerning the lack of inten. tion of these boys and their counsel tC prevent them from paying just pen. alty for their miSdeeds.
 Why, if these boys intend to allow us to compel them to atone for the life they took with their own lives, does their chief counsel announce that they will plead not guilty of crimes which they already have confessed in detail ?'
