BULLETIN (Ry Edward C. Derr) (IL P. Staff Correspondent! Chicago, July 28. AU members of the millionaire Leopold and Loeb 1 families—including the parents—wil take the witness stand and bare al the intimate details of the lives oi Nathtfn Leopold Jr., and Richard Loeb in a desperate effort to save the youths from the gallows for the murder ot Robert Franks, it was decided today. The two young slayers themselves are not expected to take the stand however, unless some unexpected sit uatton develops. The defense attorttys feel that the hoys could add little or nothing to their own defense. in a long conference of defense attorneys, alienists and members cf the two families at the home of Clarence Darrow, chief defense attorney, lusting until 2 o'clock this morning, a de-

cision wa» reached to spare neither the parents nor the boys the shame and pain of pahtding before Chief Justice Caverly, sitting as judge and jury in the judicial hearing, the misdeeds of Nathan and Dickie. Darrow had hoped to spare the parents of Ixmb, who are ill in their retreat at Charlevoix, Mich. He hoped also to save Nathan Ix'opold senior, the humiliation of taking the witness stand to reveal the fantastic career of his son. Conferences of the defense were held nearly all day Sunday for the purpose of smoothing out the details of its case, due for presentation Tues' day. A last conference was being held in Darrow's home When Chicago morning newspaper blazoned out with the heretofore secret report of the defense alienists '•examination” of the prisoners. This decided Darrow to call everyone with any knowledge of the past of the youths to the stand 1 The report made by Dr. n. 8. Hui bert. Chicago, and Dr. Karl M. Bow men. Boston, psychiatrists, showed the youths led a life of crime from early age, climaxing With the murder of Robert. They were prompted by the urge for excitement, ami not gain the report states. Loeb is painted at the master mind, with Leopold, here tofore held the leading spirit, in th< role of follower. The report shows the youths as run ning the entire gamut from pettj thievery to burglary, arson and ever to plot, on the lives of their father and Tommy Loeb, Richard's brother Through it all Richard, fondly called “Dickie," sleek handsome, highly in tellectual, popular with the girls, it shown as a romancer who pictured himself as the central figure of fan tastic dramas, the foens of the pub lie spotlight. Always imagined him seif the sniper-criminal, committing starting (Times, baffling the polic with ease. Paradoxically, though, h< pictured himself behind prison, bars enjoying the pleasure of a rationa wonder and amazement. Nathan and Richard even consider ed killing each other, but felt that with one gone there would be non< to share the pleasure and glory oi criminal achievement, the report states. The report deals largely witl Loeb. From the time he was a child he had conjured up ideas of being a master criminal. The physician: found Loeb a peculiar complex of dart devil and coward. He feared physic fal encounters, but had no fear of los ing his life. He shunned combati with his companions, but sailed a boat into the very teeth of a storm or Lake Michigan. • From early childhood Loeb devour ed stories of crime and bizarre ad venture. In his mind's eye he saw himself the master criminal, the su per-detective, the daring frontiersman great bootlegger, the quintessence o' all that is picturesque. He shot a re volver bullet through a shirt, put or the shirt and showed the hole to e girl friend as evidence of a desperate encounter. He bragged of a tight in a saloon, and smilingly displayed a re volver tn answer to a query of how the brawl ended. The report deals with Loeb from the date of birth up to the present Richard is 19, and was born in Chica go. He was weakly until the age of four and a half years. His tonsils were removed and hejgained strength At the age of 15 he was in an automobile accident in Charlevoix. Michl gan and suffered concussion of the brain. Quite early in life Loeb start ed the practice of lying because tic found it the easiest way out. Then' he lied boastfully. But he was careful not to be caught in lies by hitparents and governess, for whom he’ professed to have a deep respect. One of his early visions was of being in jail, stripped of his clothing, beaten, abused and exhibited in the nude. According to the physicians Loeb said he enjoyed the Idea, thought it pleasant and felt highly graitfied at being the center of attention. He felt no feeifng of remorse or shame. A the age of nine, lx>eb stole a dollar from a neighboring boy. He did not spend the money, but got a thrill out of the act. Some time after that Loeb and another hoy started a lemonade stand and during the absence of his partner. Loeb removed all of their stock and toy cash register and hid them hi bls home. At the age of 15, Loeb found that the key to his moth er's electric car would open other machines of the same make. With Leopold for company. Loeb stole machine after machine. The two rode around turning fire alarms and drinking. One time while the boys were getting a drink, the owner of the machine they were using drove up tn a truck. The boys jumped into the car and led the owner a thrilling race. When they •kere unable to shake their pursuer, they ieangjl front the speeding car. which crashed into a pole. The boys ran down an alley aflfl escaped. At another time Loeb stole a SIOO bond from his brother's desk. At the age of 16 the youth stole several bottles ’of liquof from a relative at Charlevoix Michigan. The youths threw bricks through

I windows, and one time were fired | by two policemen who attempted to arrest them. The boys set fire to some shacks and one lime planned bigg'r I fires, in the fall of 1928 the youths, armed with revolvers, chisles and equipped with flashlights and ropes.)I made an attempt to rob Loeb’s tra-| ternity house at Ann Arbor. Michigan. , But they found the door unlocked. they ransacked the clothing in »l'» , place and secured $74. some watihts and other valuables. It was while returning from Ann Arbor that the two talked of kidnapping and murder. They talked ot kill ing a friend named Richard Rubin, but gave up the Idea because it wlls too close to home. They even t-ousid-ered killing one another, but gave up the idea for fear of being deprived of the pleasure of being without some-, one to share the thrill. Throughout the report Leopold is pictured as the imitator and followet of Loeb, less daring and showing something of a distaste for their adventures in crime. On the other hand Ijreb is pktured as the supreme egotist, showing no remorse driven on the urge for a thrill, excitement, adventure. When discussing the Franks ler. Loeb is quoted as saying he d'rived excitement from the adventure, while Leopold was inclined to be hor rlfied by the sight of the blood flow ng from Robert’s head. Loeb said he laughed and Joked Leopold out of the mood. At one time they discus: ed strangling the boy each one pulling on the rope, so that the guilt wonld be equal. The report touches on the sex life of the boys and shows forms of perversion. In commenting on the report. Darow said to the United Press: "This report is on the physical nakeup of the boys, intend'd for use by our alienists for further investiga ion Whether we shall use it, remains to be seen.” MARKETS-STdfiKS Daily Report Os Local And Foreign Markets Indianapolis Livestock Market Hogs — Receipts 6.00(1; market 75c higher; best heavies $11 ; medium nixed $11; common choice' $11; bulk >f sales sll.
