CHICAGO YOUTHS 10 ENTER PLEA OF WNSUHY Leopold an'd Loeb Will Deny Murder of Boy, Defense Attorney Says, By United Press CHICAGO, June 9. —Nathan Leopold Jr. and Richard Loeb, held on indictments charging them with kidnaping and murdering 14-year-old Robert Franks, will plead not guilty when arraigned in Criminal Court Wednesday, Clarence Darrow. chief counsel for their defense, announced today. Asked whether the youths will enter denials of their “confession,” Darrow said he was in no position to comment. “I can not say what action will be taken concerning the alleged confessions,” Darrow said, “but I do know they will plead riot guilty.” Squads of officers from the office of State’s Attorney Robert E. Crowe invaded the University of Chicago campus today in search of students able to testify that Leopold and Loeb were sane. Believing their case against Leopold and Loeb in “absolute,” Crowe’s aides started a secondary “defense against the defense.” Assured that Clarence Darrow, chief defense counsel, will attempt to save the two young college graduates from the gallows by proving them insane, the State is making effort to combat the expected testimony of alienists. “We will get as many college friends of these boys as possible,” an attache of Crowe's office said, “to tel! what they know of the habits of Leopold and Loeb. We are sure that their stories will bear weight with a trial jury and will show that the murders are of sound mind. “Testimony of those who knew Loeb and Leopold should mean much more than so-called expert alienists.” “New Evidence” Crowe's staff, , meanwhile announced they had “new evidence” agaimff the young intellectuals whom “just for the fun of it” said they kidnaped and killed young Franks. The “new evidence," it was said, consists of pencil scribbled notes, written by both Leopold and Loeb when their confessions were being read. Each took notes of the others' confession, in order to check back on slight discrepancies. These notes, it was explained, are in the youth's own handwriting and will be admitted as evidence, even though the trial judge should throw cut the confessions as evidence. Lo_b listened attentively to Leopold’s confession, making memoranda of points on which he differed. Leopold did the same when Loeb's confession was read. Who Drove Car? In their confessions each claimed it was he who drove the “death car,” the automobile in which Franks was kidnaped and slain. In their “notes'' each boy entered denial of the other's claim. “I drove the ear.” Loeb wrote. He said for a while Leopold drove his own automobile, but when they g >t into the rente ! car, it was himself who took the wheel. "“I drove —Dick in back.” Leopold wrote hastily when Loeb’s confession was read. The question of who drove the “death car” is important, the State points out, as it is evident that it was not the driver who struck Franks over the head with the tapebound chisel.

LOUDEN BACKERS STILL CONFIDENT .Continued From Page t) tendered to him by a majority in the convention. Some leaders looked upon Lowden’s statement denying his candidacy as the best possible political move he could have made if he was seeking the nomination. It is understood that emmissaries have been sent to Lowden to ascertain his private feelings in an attempt to prevail upon him to permit the convention to nominate him. Hands Off William M. Butler, the “dictator” of the convention as manager of thte Coolidge campaign and chairman of the National committee, gave renewed assurances to newspapermen that Mr. Coolidge is taking no part In the picking of his running mate. No preferences have been shown by the President and none will be shotvn, Butler says. He maintains tnat it is up to the convention to pick whom it wants. The handful of Senators who usually dominate a national convention but who have been shuned into the background by the Coolidge managers here, have started mentioning the name of Senator Charles Curtin of Kansas as a vice presidential pros- ! pect. His selection would please Re- j publicans of Congress but their es- j forts in his behalf met with no apparent sympathy from those who are ! dominating this convention. Among others more or less mentioned as available are Governor | Hyde of Missouri and Charles W.

Lowden, former Governor of Illinois, believes he is needed more by the farmers the country than by President Coolidge. Lowden has definitely refused to consider running for Vice President on the Republican ticket in order that he may carry on his work of building up agriculture. “I am not unmindful of the importance of the high office of Vice President,” Lowden said in a formal statement declining the nomination If it is offered. “However, since my retirement frtfm public office three years ago, I have become deeply interested in many farmer organizations. 'As a result of my experience in farming I am convinced that, agriculture must be organized if it is to go forward successfully in this modern organized world.” Low-den is head of the Holstein Breeders’ Association and the American Dairy Federation. The latter is the largest livestock association in the world. “Os course, I appreciate the full i honor my friends would confer on ] me,” Lawden said. “I have been j deeply moved by their expressions of confidence and good will, and it is hard for me to disappoint them, but I must. “I have given my most careful consideration to the question of where my duty lies, and I have been forced to the conclusion that I can be of more service to the country through the activities in which I am not engaged than I could be as Vice President.’*

ANTI-KLAN PLANK FIGHT IS DROPPED SY REPUBLICANS Watson Given Credit — Wants Place on Resolutions Subcommittee. By C. A. RANDAU, Times Staff Correspondent CLEVELAND. Ohio, June 9. There will be no anti-Klan plank in the Republican plaftorm. That much seemed absolutely apparent today when it became known that R. B. Creager, national committeeman from Texas, has dropped hi3 fight for such a plank. Senator James 'Watson was gen* erally given credit for “having gotten to Creager,” although Watson himself would say nothing definite on the subject. Other Hoosiers such as Clyde A. Walb, also professed complete ignorance of the status ofi the anti-Klan plar.k. World Court Plank Watson was ready to talk oh another subject, however. He claimed he had in his possession the Coolidge world court plank. When those who took him seriously asked why he, an avowed anti-world courier, should be bringing the plank of a pro-court President, Watson changed the subject. Watson spent most of Sunday endeavoring to learn whether or not he stood any chance getting a position on the sub-committee of the resolutions committee. Watson’s position is that he does not want to represent Indiana on the -esoiu‘ions committee unless he can get a place on 'the small sub-committee which will actually draw up the platform. With the selection of the subcommittee in control of Charles B. Warren, friend of Coolidge, who is slated :.o the old platform committee, Watson's chances seemed none too rosy'. Hoosiers Well Located The Hoosier delegation was to meet at 4 p. m. Monday to name the chairman of the delegation and select members of resolutions credentials, permanent organization and notification committees. Hoosiers have one of the best headquarters in Cleveland, being in Hotel Cleveland, near the Coolidge general headquarter's.
