Nathan Leopold.

BIZ United Press
JOLIET, ILL.,, Feb. 10.--The Nname
of Nathan Leopold, millionaire thrill

for their own lives.
The six-Charles Duschowski, Der

Immediately thereafter Duschow-
ski called authorities and again gave
Leopolds name in connection with
the escape early last summer. He
charged that Leopold had hidden in

Shader verified the charge in part
saying he knew Leopold had a num-
Der of large denomination bills in his
cell at the time of his escape.
Duschowski said the@sonly reason
Leopold did not escape with the
other convicts was that the prisoners
did not have a key to Leopold's cell.
He promised to make more complete
charges against Leopold later.
