But it was with only the first two that pub- lic opinion concerned itself, since it was over only life and death that the prosecution fought during the six weeks of the hearing of evidence in mitigation and aggravation. The State, terming the case one which merited death for the youthful de- fendants, pleaded for the death pen- alty, while the defense askd impris- | s onment for life. The defense's case marked a new |V departure in that it was designed to show that Loeb and Leopold were mentally diseased, but short of insan- | ity, in a legal sense, and therefore, while not subject to incarceration in a hospital for the criminal insan should be sent to the State peniten-| tiary for life rather than be hanged. | Throughout the hearing and during | the fortnight since Judge Caverly re- | tired to study the lengthy record and | formulate his decision, he was the, target for thousands of letters from many countries.
