Leopold to Pierce
Veil after Death,
He Tells Prisoner
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August Nathan
Leopold, jr., has made his plans
! for three months of work in case
the court hearing in progress here
results in a death sentence for
him and Richard Loeb, confessed
kidnapers and slayers of Robert
Franks.
Anticipating the time between
passing of sentence and execution
at three months, DR.. William A.
White, Washington alienist. told
the court today that Leopold
planned first to write down ten
world riddles to be placed in a
safe deposit box after which he
intended to appoint a commission
of scientists to try to get into
touch with him after death. DIR.
White said Leopold did not be-
lieve in spiritualism, but said he
expected to try to solve the
riddles if they could be solved.
This taken care of, the univer-
sity student and son of a Chicago
millionaire planned to write sew
eral books, DR.. White said, one
presenting his philosophy OF life
and another book which he said
would show he went to his death
consistently. Leopold said. ac-
cording to the doctor. that he
believed himself unusual enough
to make a book on his philosophy
and views worth while.
In a letter to fellow prisoner,
made public today, Leopold wrote:
You may be Interested to know
that in the event that L am SEN
fenced to death upon the gallows
(as appears quite likeIy) L shall
take steps to attempt to pierce
the veil, although / personally am
convinced that no. afterlife exists.
/ at least will be prepared for the
