sation with the youths. Nathan r.
Leopold. ST., wealthy box manufac-
turer and shipping man, remained
disconsolately in his seat, deep wrin-
kles of anxiety marking his forehead
'Leopoid's exposition of his phi.
he did not believe 1t was leading him
to destruction" testified Dr. Glueck
He said, Yes, but it did not make any
difference.
VIII Be Consistent.
"He said. in event he went to the
gallows, he wanted to show the
world that he had been consistent tc
the very end and had shown no
change in his reasoning with himself
His phantasies began at years
Of age: Suffering was a part of these
phantasies from the beginning. He
was at times in the role of a king and
then a slave. There also came into
phantasies into real life
Mr.. Grove requested that the wit
ness go into detail on the various
phantasies and DR.. Glueck went over
others already had brought out
"Leopold's' relations with Loeb,
cannot understand" went on the doc
tor: He said he was devoted to hin,
and was jealous of his water and
food. because ne could not become SC
close to him as those ingredients"
Leopold's devotion to his mother
and aunt were almost like for the
Madonna, Dr.. Glueck said. He fire.
quently SO characterized them, hold
Personality Transformed.
Leopold has SO effectually trans
formed his personality that he feels
justified in destruction to agree with
his philosophy. / think he is at pres
ent manifesting a paranoid person
ality, in which a pathological en-
largement of his ego affects his
Judgment"
Grove Questions Expert.

completed at 12:1 pm. and States At
torney Grove began croSs-examination
In closing his direct testimony DR.
Glueck asserted that Leopold is of a
distinct paranoid personality, and 'is
developing a definite course of paranoid
psychosis." 1t was testified yesterday
that ''psychosis" is a new term for lin
sanity"
Loeb is disintegrating mentally, DR..
Glueck said.
The first question Mr.. Grove directed
to DR.. Glueck on cross-examination
was as to the day on which Loeb first
admitted striking the Franks boy.
when Mr.. Grove insisted upon DR..
Glueck finding Immediately his notes
regarding this admission of Loeb.
Loeb Morally Insane.
Loeb is a victim of moral insanity
and Leopold of abnormal and morbid
affection, according to report of DR..
Sanger Brown, defense alienist, made
public today.
Because of some defects in his
nervous system, mainly in his brain
Loeb has been unable to perceive,
feel and respond to the various OBJ
legations of moral and social life as
does a normal individual of his age,
DR.. Brown said. Leopold's affection
for Loeb was so strong that he was
impelled to conform to his wishes
and become a participant in his
project. the alienist asserted.
During the cross examination yes
terday of DR. Healy, Mr.. Grove en-
ceavored to bring out that the crime
grew from the youths admittedly ma
ture and high intellectuals rather
than from their immature emotions
Clarence Darrow, chief defense coun-
sci, emphasized that Loeb got emo
tiona pleasure from the planning
and commission of the crime; that
Leopolds emotional pleasure was con-
fined to the planning of 1t and that
the intellect carried out the details.
