(Continued From Page One) Although looked upon as a certain-’ ty and a mere formality ever since i.eopold and Loeb confessed, the indictments represent the actual start of the state's effort to convict and hang the two young intellectuals who “just for the fun of it.” they said, murdered young Franks and attempted to collect SIO,OOO ransom from his father. The boys now must stand a trial on the charges. Seventy-one Witnesses Indictment of the two millionaires' sons followed presentation of testimony by 71 witnesses before the grand Jury. For the first time since he has been in office. Crowe took personal charge of the examination of witnesses. “This is n most important murder case." Crowe said, "and we want to make sure there nrc no slips made by the state.” . Crowe called every available witness, abandoned the usual custom of saving certain "star" witnesses to spring as surprises when the actual trial starts.

It was Loeb, softer and more repentent, who first broke the long. ... ■ — ■ Ashbaucher’sj RIKNACES sl,lO RfiOMM. PHONE 76S « H 7?.v

He shuffled his feet In embarrassment. “Yes, Dickie,” he aid. “We have quarreled before but we've always made up. Now when we are facing ' the home stretch of the great gauntlewe’ll ever run, it is right Hint we should go along together." And the boys clasped hands firmly. Their friendship was renewed.
