DEATH PENALTY FOR
LEOPOLD AND LOEB
DEMAND OF STATE

Chicago, Aug. 19-(By A. P)-Un-
qualified demand for the death pen
atty for Nathan F. Leopold. Jr., and
Richard Loeb, co-murderers of IA
year old Robert Franks, as made of
Judge John r. Caverly today, when
the state, through Thomas Marshall.
assistant states attorney, began final
arguments in the long legal battle.
If this case does not deserve pun
ishment by death, then no case in the
history Of Illinois has deserved that
punishment" declared Mr.. Marshall.
The arguments were reached after
Benjamin Bachrach, backed by his
brother Walter, and Clarence S. OAR

had finished pounding at the testi-
mony given yesterday by DR.. VIII
liam o. Krohn, fifth alienist and final
rebuttal witness for the state.
All attempts by the defense to win
from the expert a modification of
his conclusion that Leopold and Loeb
are mentally sound. failed. Neither
would he acknowledge that his OPP
portunities for observing them might
have been improved. The battle of
wits closed with an hours recital OF
the court record of DIR. Krohn in
which it was brought out that he had
acted as an expert for three success
sivc states attorneys and had testi-
fled frequently in civil hearings in
which mentality was involved.
Opening the arguments for the
prosecution, Mr.. Marshall indicated
that he would consume the rest of
the day and part of tomorrow pre-
scnting legal aspects. Joseph Saw
age, another assistant states attor-
ney. will follow and then will come
Walter and Benjamin Bachrach and
Clarence barrow for the defense.
The attorneys agreed that n hear
ing on the indictment charging the
defendants with kidnapping, would
take place as soon as Mr.. Grove
finishes. Soon after Judge Caverly
probably will be ready to announce
the date for his decision. Predictions
were made tonight that it would be
the middle of next week when this
point is reached.
Mr.. Marshall said that he would
base his arguments on three subjects,
the responsibility of the defendants.
the impOSsibility of mitigation, and
the turpitude of the crime itself. He
had progressed only part way into
the second subject when adjourn
ment time came.
