HENRY LOEB DIES;
HIS SONS CRIME
LISTENS THE END

Chicago 0ct.2s-Albert Henry Loeb,
first vice president of Sears Roebuck
and company, father of Richard Loeb,
co-murderer with Nathan Leopold of
Robert Franks, died at his home here
last night after a long illness.
Members of the family and ply
icians said his death was hasten-ed
by the trial and conviction of his son,
now serving life sentence in Joliet
penitentiary. Whether the son would
attend the funeral was considered
doubtful, for, although the prison au-
thor.ties always permit prisoners to
attend funerals of near relatives, the
crowds of curious that would gather
made it likely no application for per-
nit would be made.
