DETAILS OF CRIME ARE INTRODUCED

UALITY paint wears so much longer than cheaply made paint—and covers so much more surface per gallon—that it is far more economical to use. BURDSAL’S Homestead Paint is quality paint. It is made of pure lead, zinc and oil—properly proportioned and mixed by machinery. Use it on your house and you’ll not need to paint so soon again.

There will be an American Legion Auxiliary meeting at the home of Miss Vivian Godwin on South Indiana street, Wednesday at 8:00.

This letter, couched in flawless I English and perfectly punetuated, is one of his prides. The letter warned Franks that his, son might be injured or killed unless he delivered the $10,000 according to ■ instructions. The letter was signed “Ge#rge 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.

The state will not oe satisfied unless Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb, millionaire youths, hang for the murder of Robert Franks, school boy, State’s Attorney Crowe declared today as the bizarre murder case got under way here. “The state intends to present the evidence and at the conclusion to ask that the extreme penalty be imposed upon thstk* defendants,” Crowe cried in outlining the state’s case. “During the months of November, December and January these defendants planned and schemed this terrible crime, hoping they never would be brought to the bar of justice,"

Crowe said.
