Youths Are Shaken
 As They Face Past
Leopold And Loeb Lose Nonchalance As Evi-
 dence Is Piled Against Them

Trenier, told how Leopold had regist- cred there as Morton D. Ballard" at about the same. time he rented a room in the Morrison hotel under the same name. The purpose of this wholesale room renting was to help him in his various contemplated crimes and pos sibly assist in establishing an alibi.
 The glasses found beside the body of Robert Franks, the glasses that Leo pold finally admitted belonged to him, when detectives had traced their own ership to the young ornithology student, then were produced in court, to be identified by Dr. Emil Deutsch.
 "Yes, those are the glasses" the phy- last October and I found him to be suffering from astigmatism. I told him to get these glasses and he later showed them to me-" Elizabeth Sattler. frightened maid in the employ of the Leopold family, was questioned at length as to whether she had seen the young man of the house use any typewriters.
 "Yes, I have, but I would not know them if l saw them again" she answered.
 Two typewriters then were shown to her, one of them that on which the | ransom notes were written.
 Did you ever see Nathan Leopold, Jr., use this machfnel' Grove asked, pointing to the battered and rusted in strument that was rescued from the Jackson park lagoon.
 "Yes," Miss Sattler replied, and then <, she shrunk back affrighted. Grove wanted her to inspect the machine and she was unwilling. He did not pness his request.
 Then Grove pulled out remnants of the robe in which Leopold and Loeb are said to have wrapped the Franks boy after they murdered him. They later had attempted to burn up this robe.
 q know nothing about that robe," Miss Sattler said. don't believe ever saw it before"
 Friends Appear
 Then came in in quick succession a group of young law students at Chica go university, friends of Leopold ard Loeb. These youths apparently en- testify against their friends. At any rate, they smiled and laughed and joked and made even the judge grin.
 Arnold Marmont, the first of the group, testified that he had been a classmate of Leopold and that he studied law with him in his home.
 We did all our dope-sheeting to- gether," Marmont said.
 "What?" exclaimed Grove.
 Our dope-sheeting, the witness re- plied "We would get together and prepare lists of interesting cases to study. This was in preparation for our examinations.
 Were you in the Leopold home last February"
 "Yes, was. I went there a good deal. Leopold and I were and are great friends. We both wanted to be- come lawyers
 Grove tried to get Marmont to iden- tify one of the typewriters as Leopold but his attempt was unsuccessful. The other students who testified were Howard Ollendorf, Murice Shamberg and Lester Abelson, all sons of mil lionaires, close friends of the accused youths and members of the same social circle in which the Loeb, Leopold and Franks families move. Proceedings that threatened to settle into routine again approached the dramatic when Mrs. Lucille Smith and her daughter, Janet, told how they had been walking along q lonely road on 1 the outskirts of Chicago the night of May 21 when dark touring car crashed at them with lights so bright that they were blinded.
 That was the car in which Loeb and Leopold were returning after they had deposited the body of their victim in a culvert. They were both armed, they since have admitted, and they in tended to kill anyone who stopped l them.
