Crowe said he would show that Loeb and Leopold “practiced” throwing a bundle from a moving Michigan Central train, planning to* have Robert Franks' father board the same train and throw off a hundle of SIO,OOO cash —their ransom for kidnapping young Franks. Crowe announced that the state would prove that Loeb and Leopold registered at a downtown hotel and under assumed names—a plan intended to hide their identity and aid their escape. He said the prosecution would show how the young murderers rented an automobile from the Rent-A-Car botnpany—the automobile in which Robert Franks was kidnapped and claim Crowe spoke easily and deliberate- 1 ly, folding his arms and occasionally striking the palm of his hand with

his fist for emphasis. The courtroom, filled to every nook and corner, was table, looked off into space, occasionsilent. Leopold, sitting at the attorneys’ ally glancing towr.rd Crowe. Young Loeb seemed more interested crossing his legs and gazing steadfastly at the state’s attorney. Crowe told how the young slayers went to Peoria, 111., registered at a hotel and attempted to establish themselves as prosperous business men At this point Benjamin Baehraeh turned and whispered in Loeb’s ear. Loeb nodded and passed some word along to Leopold, who also nodded, smiled a bit wistfully, then turned away. Crowe then called for the original copy of the SIO,OOO ransom letter sent to Jacob Franks, the slain boy's father. shortly after the murder. Leopold, for the first time, appeared interested. This letter, couched in flawless English and perfectly punctuated, was one of his prides. The letter warned Franks that his son might be injured or killed unless he delivered the SIO,OOO according to Instructions. The letter was signed “George Johnson.” Crowe said the letter had been written long before the murderers decided upon their victim. Not until after young Franks was killed did they address the letter to Franks. They had to consult a telephone directory to find the Franks address. This. Crowe argued, showed the I cold-blooded nature of the crime, i They longed to Mill —they cared not who their victim was, the state’s attorney said. It was only by chance. , Crowe said, that they fell upon the Franks boy. "The evidence will show that the boys went to the Leopold hoiffe, where they obtained a can of ether which Leopold used in etherizing birds,” Crowe said. “They secured tape and gags and set out in the rented automobile, stopped at a drug store and bought acid which they intended to use in burning away the features of their little victim. “Only because John Levinson, another small millionaire’s son. hurried home through an alley instead of following the sidewalks, was this boy saved from the faate that befell Robert Frank's,, Crowe declared. and Lo-b, according to Crow, drove their automobile to the Harvard -private 'school, stopping a few hundred feet Arom the playground, ill order to avoid suspicion. “They watched a score of boys playing ball and argued between themselves as to which one they should kidnap and 'murder. They decided upon y oung Levinson, but when they; missed him they decided that the, Franks boy would be their victim. ! They took notice of the fact that Robert’s father was a millionaire. Crowe said. "While one of the boys drove, the other leaned over from the rear seat ( and struck that innocent child over the head With a tape-bound chisel. 1 The boy was pulled Into the back seat and covered with blankets. “Then Leopold and Loeb drove ' through the south side of the city and prepared to do away with their victim. “They prepared the hydrochloric' 1 acid and it was Leopold who tossed the burning acid on his face, The ether was not needed for the little 1 boy—just an hour earlier a happy boy> —was dead.” Crowe then described how Leopold and Loeb carried the boy's body to • the culvert near the city limits, stripped it, hid it carefully from the near-! by road and then drove back to the Leopold home, where they burned the boy's clothes. He told of Leopold throwing the chisel from ’he automobile, where it was later found. He re-| lated the experience of the two boya t when they took their victim’s shoes and belt and such articles as would
