 Clothes

CHICAGO, July 20.--Sartorial per- lection in court appears to be the chief concern of Nathan B. Leopold. IT,, and Richard Koch e q lnlss '. sesll make their final appehrance in legal proceedings before their actual trial starts for the abduction and murder of 14-year-old Robert Franks.
 These two 19-year-old intellectual slayers." whose mental and physical va- garies led to revolting crime and lat CT astonished even the eminent physi- cians retained to examine them, spent portion of Sunday preparing clothing for their next appearance before the public. They were as meticulous in their furnishing processes as great &C., tors about to go before the footlights in plays calling for difficult make-ups, or social climbers about to make premiere entrances in select circles.
 Valets Assist
 Debonair and smiling, the two for mer Chicago university students, who calmly and in great detail confessed turing young boy into an automobile and later killing him, as ''an experiment in human emotions" joked with fellow prisoners Sunday about how they in- tended to look in court. And in a DOT tion of their cells they laiG aside the habiliments of c0rrest attire that only the sons of multi-millionaires could af- ford. Their valets had assisted in help ing choose the clothes.
 The index of egotism, always pre- dominent from early childhood in both Leopold and Loeb, was strongly reflect ed in the care and attention which marked the hours devoted to the choice and arrangement of court costumes. As they naively confessed to prison friends, they wanted to appear at their best, in order to show the world that prison walls and prison associations had not broken their spirits. The mash notes and the columns in the press that have followed the days of confinement of these youths has stimulated their con- suming desire to be known as men apart.
 While the two boys were busying themselves arranging personal adorn- ment for the morrow, attorneys for the prosecution and defense were employed with the whipping into thape of final details for the preliminary court skirm- ish. At place, the location of which he has kept secret, States Attorney Robert E. Grove and his assistants had final discussion of what they intended to do in court.
 17O Oppose Delay
 At the conclusion of this conference Grove said:
 "The state does not expect to make any motions Monday. We are ready for the trial. We will, however, strong ly oppose any motions introduced by the defense involving an extension of time for the trial, which we hope will start August f."
 Clarence s. Darrow, who had visited his youthful clients at the county jail Saturday afternoon, also had a confer. ence with bis associates. Beyond ad- hitting that he was considering intro ducing two or three motions intended to help his case, Darrow remained silent.
 The three motions considered most likely to be introduced by Darrow at Mondays session are:
 l. A motion for an extension of time.
 2. A motion to compel the state to furnish the names of any witnesses who did not appear before the grand jury,
 8. A motion requiring the clerk of court to furnish the defense with the names of the venire of jurors drawn for the Franks case.
