TWO QUESTIONED IN HOLD-UPS Os FILLINGSTATIONS Police Scour City in Effort to Make Further Arrests in Robberies. While detectives today questioned two men under arrest in investigation of two filling station hold-ups that took place within fifteen minutes of each other, two and a half miles apart, police scoured the city for further arrests. Early today, Motor Policemen Baker and Lowe arrested Isaac Thurman, 17. of 333 W. Twelfth St., and Robert McCombs, ID, of 2137 Shriver Ave„ both colored, at Nineteenth St. and Senate Ave. on vagrancy charges. At 10:50 p. m. Tuesday, two masked, armed colored men entered the Sinclair filling station at Twen-ty-First St. and Capitol Ave. They robbed W. E. Logan, 2615 Station St., the attendant, of his money change belt and then took money from the open safe. Total was $l3O. At 11:05 p. m. an unmasked, armed white man ordered Jesse Alexander, 37 E. Eleventh St., attendant at the Sinclair Station at New York arid East Sts., who was putting the day’s receipts in the safe, to “give that money to me.” He took about S3O, but left some in the safe. He asked K. R. Kingin, 1910 N. Bellefontaine St., another attendant, whether he had any money, but left without receiving an answer. Police said they thought two col ored men and one white man might have worked together. A fur cape valued at $125 was taken from Miss Frances Beck, Morton Hotel, she told police.

Trouble Is Not in Brain, but in Heart, They Declare, By GEORGE BRITT SEA Service Writer C“1 HICAGO, June 4.—The diabolical blackness of the murder of 14-year-old Robert Franks will be the principal asset and defense of the slayers, Nathan Leopold Jr., and Richard Loeb. This is the belief here as the city rubs its eyes at the nightmare killing which remains a cold daylight reality. If the youthful millionaire murderers had killed primarily because they needed money, if they had killed over a woman, if there had been any element of hatred or of fear, it would be comprehensible to the man on the street. It would be an issue of simple guilt or innocence. But there is no precedent to guide in a motiveless murder. "Just to get a thrill,” explained Leopold when asked why. If that is a reason for taking life, then black is blue or green or red. Sane or Insane Therefore, reason some psychiatrists, the boys must be insane. If they could conceive and carry out as incredible a plot as they did they cannot be normal. On the other hand, some of the city’s foremost alienists declare they are normally sane in every respect. Their trouble, say these scientists, is not in brain and will, but in heart and conscience. There is the point, it is expected, upon which will depend whether the boys go to the gallows. Many believe the heartless, unbelievable ruthlessness will favor the insanity defense rather than strengthen the prosecution’s ease. Foremost in rejecting any insanity defense talk are Drs. Hugh T. Patrick, William O. Krojun and Archibald Church, who examined the youths while they were in the custody of State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe. Notwithstanding the uniqueness of the case, it is explainable within perfectly sane limits, they assert. Girl State Witness Both slayers were precocious. Leopold, the supercillious aesthete, always was considered a genius. Loeb, the quick, likable profligate, was a pampered darling. And at 19, they found life a bore, with physical stimulants stale and mental adventures exhalated. Their “thrill” explanation is logical. They are simply extreme ■ swamp Rowers with poisonous per futne. So say tlie State's alienists. Among t lie non-techukat witnesses for the State, it may be set down in advance that few will be watched more closely than Miss Susan Lurie, beautiful University of Chicago student friend of LcoI old's. They were simply good friends, she declares, and they aren't any mare. But there never was any question as to his being sane, she is ready to tell the world. Crime Astounds City Whi! * waiting for the law to take its course, the city goes over again in its mind the astounding facts of the crime. It is super-fiction throughout—the Sherlock Holmes unraveling of the mystery through a pair of glasses lost on the lonely t rairie. and a plot which no flrtlonlst would dare suggest even as a probability. Deoil ng nine months in advance to kidnap a boy and kill him, the pair rehearsed their actions, 1 dished off every tell-tal* trace and j an identical alibi. When they were perfection, they picked up their neighbor boy, Robert Franks, as the first convenient subject. They had In mind a grandson of Julius Rosenwald or several other wealthy convenients of their vicinity, but Robert chanced along and became the sacrifice Thev killed him in their auto-

mobile within five minutes after he climbed in, ate dinner calmly at a restaurant and then hid the body under a culvert. So is written now familiarly the story. Not all the millions of their families nor of old Jacob Franks can lure back their victim to life. Nor all the slayers' tears wipe out a word of that story.

YOUTHFUL SPOUSE GRANTEDDIVORCE Speedy Romance Described After Six Years, Details of his marriage at the ripe old age of 17, foliowing a chance meeting on a Riverside street car, were told Superior Judge Sidney S. Miller by Roy Graves, 23, of 815 N. Delaware St., a tailor, in his hearing for divorce from Mrs. Ethel Graves, 40, of 825 N. Capitol Ave. The marriage took place Jan. 15, 1918, in Martinsville, Ind., one week after his wife first caught his eye. When the 17-vear-oid bridegroom got home, he testified, he found himself the head of a family of two stepchildren nearly his own age. One of his chief complaints was that Mrs. Graves spent all his earnings on herself and two children. “I can, and do, grant you a di vorce, but I can’t put any sense it* your head. Mr. Graves, " said Judge Miller.
