 Get Rude Shock
 i Loeb and Leopol did not smile on < | during the day. If these youths are vain and egotistical as their alienists I declared them to be, their egos were receiving series of rude shocks. They heard themselves depicted as children who never had grown up as .youths who fancied themselves superior, when in fact they had marked inferiorities and delusions and should have had confinement and treatment.
 The death fantasy, which caused theil childish dreams to be pervaded with terror, came to the front last Apri when Loeb aud Leopold started to dis cuss killing somebody, Dr. White de clared.
 "They talked of killing their own rel atives, of doing away with their owr parents" the witness said. "They aban doned those ideas, not through senti ment, but because they felt the plan was not practical, that too much of hue and cry would be raised in their owr families and that this commotion would interefere with their plans"
 Asked to define his conclusions about Loeb and Leopold, Dr. Wlite replied that both at an early age manifested anti-social tendencies, which became o1 dangerous nature later in life, anC which would result, if not checked 1T both boys, in complexes of more malig nant nature even than the ones that haC resulted in murder.
 I The major part of a skeleton report to which Dr. White referred during hii testimony dealt with the vagaries oi Loeb. The physician usually referred tC Loeb as yYDickie" and to Leopold as Babe, names their associates and fam lilies called them. HisS attitude, as ex pressed in his testimony and bearing was that of apreceptor who had triet to find out what was the matter witt two bad boys and who was telling thI faculty all about his conclusions.
 How Dreams KiIr
 In preliminary question and answer dialogue between Walter Bachrach anC Dr. White, the physician described how laboratory for research and examina ton had been fitted up in large cell al the county jail. After rather lengthy wrangling between Grove and Bachracl as to what the physician ought to tes tify, Dr. White finally began present ing one of the most unusual stories evel told on a witness stand, a story by ( specialist, couched in plain English, oi how dreams led two boys to kill
 There is compensatory inner men tai life which makes up for the disap pointments of real life" Dr. White said ''In this life all desires that do not come true in actual life live as realities. Il is in this inner mental life that we learn the real truth about people.
 Richard Loeb was not very well and rather weakly, up to the time he was four years old. During the next. six te seven years he had governess who was rather unusual, woman who in later life developed delusions She was rigiC disciplinarian. She prevented Dicki, from associating with other boys of hi own age and this became a material fac tor in the building of his phantasies.a
 'This woman was exceedingly proud ish and Dickie didn't get any informa tion about the ordinary facts of life She stimulated and pushed him ahead so much in his studies that he was driven at too fast a rate. She rather took the place of his mother"
 Grove Objects
 Grove jumped up and objected, de. claring that the physician was deliver ing lecture and not testifying to any. thing revelent to this issue" Caverly testify cut him short and ordered tht physician to continue.
 "Dickie expresses himself by saying that when he was about fourteen ht first really came into the world H, grew up overnight, he told me. He wal projected into the world in early adol essence.
 ''Now, in order 70 escape the rigiC discipline of his female mentor, Dicki' got into the habit of telling her lies, the physician continued. This grew into tendency to lie about serious mat ters in his later history. During thii period he became intimate with a boy who later became a criminal and whC was sentenced to jail, Jack Menger.
 ''At the age of If he suffered iron cerebral concussions sustained durin; an automobile accident. He was un conscious for some time after the acci dent. In college he haL an interestinJ and unusual career. He was q brillian student. He was especially interested in sex matters, he was interested il the character of John C. Calhoun, wh, he regarded as the leader of a los cause.
 T asked him what he thought of tn, moral order of the past of his owI conception of the moral orde-. He re piled that his opinion was that it wa a good deal oi nonsense. In a specifi, answer he said that he believed it wal all right for a down -trodden man t, take what he could get. He seemed tt have feeling for the under dog"
 Loeb had been following Dr. White remarks intently. He nodded in ap probation
 'In his own life Dickie followed tn, line of least resistance,' the physician continued. He had no plan of life He had no idea for what he was fittinj himself. In the scientific world he be came interested in paleontology, be cause he believed that taught him tn, truth about man. Because of his forced intellect he was thrown into associa tlon during the early years of his college life with boys four and five years older This did not seen to Go him any good So he began drinki- g, largely in imita ton Of older boys, trying to appear grown up.
 .Dlckie says he had no vital interest Tn life. He felt he was not wanted ir hls home. There was no one in his home with whom he had established in innate relations. There was no one ir the home to whom he could go"
