If it was emotion it was surprisingly slight.” The witness said Loeb was not very nervous and that he went to sleep while Leopold was being examined. “Didn’t Loeb tell you it hurt him to talk to Mrs, Franks, mother of the murdered boy, and that it made him sad?” asked Mr, Crowe. “I don't know whether he said sad [pan, |his fraternity house at Ann want to , Lert know he did not He sald he did not want te .OEI in pain,” pursued the state's fsn't that emetion? slight.” the reply There was no definite emotion about it, anymore than he he said ‘I'm sorry that 1 dropped that fork' Dr, Hulbert admitted he did not think very much of Loel's judgment He had oppertunities than most hoys in Chicage, yet doomed himselt to destruction,” he said, "Then his judgment in thinking he was un welcome at home was an item," "But it 18 quite commen ameng hoya of nine to run away, isn't §t? asked Mr. Crowe, “Didn't you ever run away?"

Since his arrest, the avidity with which Leopold poses for flashlights in Jail also was called bad judgment, as was his sneering attitude towards psychiatry, when preparations were being made for a report on his case.
