ORDERS ARE SMALL, BUT MORE FREQUENT Dealers and Jobbers Do Not Anticipate -Sharp Downward Move. By Times Special NEW YORK, July 23.—Hardware Age, In its weekly market summary, says: “Hand-to-mouth buying on th 6 part of retailers continues throughout the hardware markets. Orders are small, but are being placed more frequently’than they were a month or six weeks ago. “Crop conditions in the North and Middle \ijest are reported to be favorable and a stronger feeling of confidence is being expressed by jobbers and retailers in those sections. throughout the country range from poor to fair. Price tendencies, in the opinion of some observers, point downward, although manufacturers and distributors do not anticipate any sharp downward price movement. ■ “Deliveries are somewhat better they have been. Fall orders are few, because retailers are not anticipating their requirements as far in advance as they did during tha late winter and early spring.” River Steamer Burns By United Press EVANSVILLE.

FATHER OF MURDERED ONSTAND • (Continued From Page 1)

Leopold and Loeb “practiced throwing a bundl?"from a moving Michigan Central train, planning to have Robert Franks’ father board the same train and throw- off a bundle of SIO,OOO cash —their reason for kidnaping of young 1 Franks. Registered at Hotel Crowe announced the State would prove 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 >4he Rent-a-Car Company—the automobile in which Robert Franks vras kidnaped and slain. N. Crpwe spoke easily and deliberately, fmding his arms and occasionally striking the palm of his right hand with his fist for emphasis. The courtroom. filled to every nook and corner, was silent. Leopold, sitting at the attorney’s /table, looked off into space, occasionally glancing toward Crowe. Young Loeb seemed more interested cross &ing his legs and gazing steadfastly at the State’s attorney. Crowe told Trow the young slayers went to Peoria, 111., registered at a hotel and attempted to establish themselves as prosperous business men. At this point Benjamin Bachrach 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. Ransom Letter Shown. Crowe then called for the original copy of trfe 10,000 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 he 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 cold-blooded nature of the crime. They longed to kill—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 home, where they obtained a can of ether which Leopold used in etherizing birde.’l Crowe said,” “They secured ta'fie and- gags and set out in the rented automobile, stopped at a drug store and bought acid, which, they intended to trse in burning away the features of their little victim. “Only because John Levinson, another small millionaire’s son, hurried Tiome through an alley instead of following the sidewalk was this boy saved from the fate that befell Robert Franks,” Crowe declared. Leopold and Loeb, according to Crowe, drove their automobile to the Harvard private school, stopping a few hundred feet frtiei the playground, in order to avoid suspicion. Watched Ball Game They watched a score of boys playing ball and argued between themselves as to which ones they should kidnap and murder. They decided upon young Levinson, but when they missed him they decided the Franks boy would be their victim. They took notice of the fact that Robert’s father was a millionaire, Crowe said, and therefore would be willing to pay the ransom. “Seeing Robert Franks swinging gaily along a sunlit street these two defendants drove along side of him and invited the little youngster to get in for a ride,” Crowe said. “While one of the boys drove, the other leaned over from the rear and struck that innocent child over the 'Read with a tape-bound chisel. The hoy was pulled back into the back seat and covered with blankets. “Then Leopold and Loeb drove through the skuth side of the city and prepared to do away with their victim.” • “They prepared they hydrochloric acid and it was Leopold who tossed the burning acid on his face. The ether was not needed for the little boy—just an hour earlier a happy school 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 nearby road and then drove back to the Leopold home, where they burned the boy’s clothes. He told of Leopold throwing the chisel from the automobile, where it was later found. He related the experience of the two boys when they took their victim's shoes and belt and such articles as would not burn

and buried them in the ground In th country. He told of how the boye destroyed the typewriter on which the v ransom letter was written, throwing it into a lagoop in Jackson Park. Leopold Watches Leopold watched Crowe closely. He seemed greatly interested In the details of the crime he had so carefully planned. As Crowe narrated the details. Nathan Leopold Sr. sat nearby, head bowed, tears trickling down his heavy robust face. Beside him was Foreman Leopold, okjer brother of the slayer. Jacob Loeb, uncle of Richard and Allen, his older brother, sat side by side near the Leopolds. Crowe told how the finding of Leppold’s spectacles led to the arrest of the defendants. Crowe described how he extracted the confessions. “Loeb demanded to know why he was being held,” Crowe said. “I told him that we were holding him because we were tightening the vWeb of evidence around his friend, Nathan Leopold. “I told him that we knew if Nathan Leopold -vras found to be the mfirderer that Loeb was also connected with it. “ 'My ' God! Is that right?* " LoeH shouted, according to Crowe. * ‘Give me a drink of water and I’ll tell you the whole story.’ “Then while Loeb was dictating his confession to one of my assistants Leopold called for me and said he wanted to ask a hypothetical question. I told -him to go ahead. Leopold Asked Question “ ‘Supposing John Dee committed this murder, don’t you suppose if he had parents as wealthy and influential as mine and could hire famous criminal attorneys and could go before a friendly judge and bribe the jury—don’t you think he could escape?’ Leopold asked. “ ‘Nathan Leopold, I am going to give you that chance,’ ’’ Crowe responded, he said. Leopold, dumbfounded, was then told that Loeb that very minute was giving his confession, according to Crowe. Leopold then broke down and told his story. Crow<b ended his statement with another dramatic plea for the death penalty. “We will show that all of these terrible things happened in Cook County, Illinois,” Crowe said. “And in the name of the people of Illinois, in the name of the motherhood and fatherhood of this country and of the children of this State, we will demand -that these wicked, cruel, atrocious murderers be hanged.” As Crowe sat down, Darrow, the sturdy chiefs defense counsel, arose and started, the opening statement for the defense. >

Judge Holds Fate Chief Justice John R. Caverly, a chunky, grizzled little man, npted for his rigid enforcement of the law, is a central figure in the drama taking place in court, for in his hands rests the fate of the two youths—whether they hang, are jailed for life or given a lighter sentence. There is no jury, for the boys pleaded guilty to the .crime and this trial is to determine whether there ara any “mitigating circumstances” to save them from the gallows. Arrayed against Leopold and Loeb is State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe, a heavy-jawed, grim-faced man, who is intent on sending them to thg noose. The central figure of the drama today is Jacob Franks, millionaire and aged father of the victim. The little old man literally bowed down with grief, is to bfe among the first of the State’s ifitnesses. Franks is to identify the grewsome exhibits, torn and tattered clothin* of his son. The clothing was ripped from the child’s body by the slayers in an effort to hide the identity of their victim. The dingy little courtroom, with a capacity of about 250, was jammed with the battery of defense lawyers, the staff of prosecutors, the four-score State witnesses, a veritable army of newspaper men, observers fj}Om Criminal Jpourts of other cities, leaving very few seats for would-be spectators who jammed halls and streets in an effort to get a glimpse of the drama. Mother to Testify Crowe also plans to call Mrs. Franks, the victim’s mother, to the stand. After the Franks testify, the coroner's pljysician is to take the stand to tell of the condition of Robert’s body. Before introducing alienists to show the defendants were and are sane, Crowe plans to place a large number of witnesses on the stand, to show, step by step, how the youths kidnaped and killed Robert; how they stripped the body and thrust it into a culvert on the southern outskirts of the city. Clarence Darrow-, chief attorney for the defense, will center his efforts on saving the boy's from the gallows. He hopes to show the boy* were not wholly responsible for theif act.
