 CHICAGO, June A passion for fortune, through manipulation of the surgeons scalpel on human muscles so skilfully that death would be prolonged for hours, may have been the real motive that led Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb to kidnap and murder 13- year--old Robert Franks, police de- tectives declared Wednesday night after the discovery of new and startling evidence.
 In Leopold's room, Investigators sent out by States Attorney Robert E. Grove found case of dissecting instruments, such as surgeons use in operations, and several knives of varying shapes and sizes, their edges sharpened to a razor-like fin ish.

 Describing this phase of his inquiry, States Attorney Grove said:
 instructor Seese saw Loeb talking to Levinson and went up and engaged him in conversation. Loeb became alarmed and went away. He and Leo pold then went to Loeb's home and obtained pair of field glasses.
 Then these two young men sat in their car two blocks from the Harvard school and watched for their intendeJ victims to leave. Fortunately for young Deutsch and Harris. when they left the place they were in company with other boys
 So the two began cruising around the neishborheed and finally they ran across young Franks, just leaving the ball game. They hailed him and be accepted an invitation from them to ride home
