Englund's story was told last
night. The two boys were again
called for questioning.
At i o'clock this morning the two
were called into the private Office

complete confessions.
Thought 1t Great Sport
I'VE We're just plumb damned
FOOLS" Leopold said. we thought
it was great sport. We thought it
would give us a huge thrill.
Well" and he smiled through
beads Of perspiration on his face,
we got our thrill but now where
are we?"
After giving the two youths their
breakfast. officers took them to the
scene of the murder to re-enact the
crime.
The two youths became calm after
they had been TO breakfast. They
posed for pictures and expressed re-
lief that the burden Of their secret
had been lifted.
It's a great relief to get this off
our chests Leopold said.
Leopold is the son of the million
aire head Of the Morris Paper Fox
Company. Loeb's father is vice
president of the Sears Roebuck Com
pany.
Jacob Franks, father Of the victim,
was a millionaire manufacture
once a pawnshop proprietor.
The combined wealth of the three
families involved was estimated to-
day at 25,000,000.

Plot Almost Perfect

Details Of the amazing plot, care
fully laid by the two boys were in
cludec in the formal confession.
In deciding upon their victim
sons Of several wealthy families
were considered. Among these was
the young son of julius Rosenwald
millionaire president Of Sears-Roe-
buck Company.
The ransom letter, carefully
written, was prepared before they
decided upon their victim, they
said. The typewriter on which the
letter was written was thrown into
Lake Michigan.
Fearing that they might at some
time fall under suspicion, Leopold
made a trip to Peoria, Ill, several
weeks before the murder and de-
posted $500 in a bank under a ficti-
tious name. This was done, he said,
so that he could flee to Peoria and
draw money for a further flight.
Loeb made a similar trip to Morris,
Ill, also depositing $500.
Both Leopold and Loeb made many
friends under their aliases and were
prepared to obtain further credit
should they need II.
Say Loeb Drove Death Car
Police announced they had def
nitely established ina fact that Loeb
was the driver Of the death car. This,
they said, was important, as it is
almost certain that the driver was
not the one who struck young
Franks over the head.
Charge of first degree murder will
be laid against the two youths,
Grove announced. Capital punish
ment is possible under the Illinois,
law, even though both are under
legal age.
Should the murder charges fail,
the boys will be charged on counts
of kidnapping, Grove said.
win Rush Trial
Leopold and Loeb viii be brought
to trial at the earliest possible
moment, Chief Justice of the
criminal court John r. Caverly
SAID today.
The grand jury will be sworn in
Tuesday Caverly ssid. Rulings ot

law prohibit murder trial within
