 "Yeu would not be a bit surprised fl lhe glasses found near the body were yours?" the staie'a attorne, asked.
 "I would not be surprised" L.o- pold was quoted,
 A few more questions led 10 the Identification of the glasses by Leo- pold as his.
 Carried . Gun.
 Leopold told Mir. Grove that since 1921 he had at times carried a se ealibre automatic pistol because T wanted to be very grown up."
 Leopold said that he drank" AS the examination revealed by the stenographie notes proceeded. but doubted" that gin was his favorite. He said Loeb was close friend and that they had a habit Of dining to- Eether as frequently as three times a week.
 For the second time Mir. Bachrach reached unprintable matter and leaned over the three stenographers 10 whisper to them something for the record only. This required several minutes
 The reading brought out Leopold's agreement with Mir. Grove that he had been treated with every consider ation by the prosecutor and had mo complaint to make whatever"

He also accounted for the'I supposed hour of their return by say ing Loeb needed time to sober up." John Sbarbaro, an assistant states attorney, took up the reading after Mir. Bachrach had read steadily for an hour. Leopold's religious ideas came out at this stage. Leopold was quoted as saying that i one of the places searched for Bobby 1, Franks after he failed to come home ! for dinner was the tennis court at the l home of Richard Loeb, where Bobby 1 and Richard frequently played to- gether.

MALARIA ROUTED.
 IN SHOALS AREA.
1 800 Gallons Of Oil Used In Impounded
 Waters
Tennessee Valley Bureau)

ALBANY-DECATUR, Ala, Sept. 22. One thousand and five hundred gallons of oil used daily on impunded Tenness- see river waters at Muscle Shoals has prevented what threatened to be a dan gerous malaria fever seige at Wilson Dam, it became known here Monday. Alabama board of health authorities this summer were appraised of the appear ance of malari in force at the shoals, and authorities, federal and state at once went about remedying matters, the chief remedy being anti-malaria oil sent into the impounded waters under high pressure. For the first time such oil was put under high pressure on large scale, it was stated by an official of the state board of health. With the coming of cooler weather and no widespread malaria in evidence, it is believed malaria is defeated at Muscle Shoals.
 Reward Is Offered-A liberal reward has been offered here through officials by +. A. Laubenthal, Louisville and Nashville train inspector, for the return to him of $3,200 in currency said to have been lost late Saturday night as the loser journeyed to Athens on a freight train. The owner said he drew
