Fees for the Defense
 of Leopold and Loeb

Chicago Leopold rnd Loeb families are not going to pay millions for defense. After conferences with attorneys they have decided to submit the case to the Chicago Bar Associa- tion and, if a change of venue is ob- tained, to the State Bar Association to fX the fees for the defense. It is a delicate question to put up to the Bar Association.
 The Leopold and Loeb families are firmly rooted in Chicago, and do not wish to be put iu the attitude of using their millions to thwart justice. They propose to have the Chicago or State Bar Association fx,the fees of all law yers and all alienists for the defense, and if the Mosaic law is enforced they will acqpiesce.

Assuming the facts in this case are substantially as published, then the only proceeding they favor is sim pie, solemn investigation under the law, touching the mental responsibility of their accused sons.
