R BRITAIN HERALD LOEB AND LEDPOLD SLEEP IN PRISON Finst Night of Sentence Passed- Narrow Escape From Deatls State Penitentiary, Jollet, I, Sept. 12.~—After their first night In prison, spent In the “court solitary,” where all prisoners must spend their first night in the Jollet peni- tentlary. 'Dickie” Loeb and “Babe” Leopold “dressed in' last night as prisoners numbers 9305 and 9306, faced the first day of life imprison- ment for the murdor of Robert Franks. Have {cr{elzed a life of ease in their palatial Chicago homes for the routine scheduled for all “lif- ers,” the prisoners will soon begin manual labor in one of the prison factories, I'oday they were to attend the Defense Day exercises to be held at the penitentiary and Saturday eve- ning they will have the privilege of attending the weekly motion ple- ture show given for the entertain- ment of the prison inmates. On Sunday they will have an op- portunity to attend chapel services, In view of this outlined schedule, the celebrated prisoners probably will not be put to work before Monday. The boys were hustled to the penitentiary from the Cook county jall at Chicago early last night aft- er a day of uncertainty as to the time of their departure, which was delayed for. the completion of com. mitment papers by the state's at. torney, Escape Death Death rode close behind the au- tomobile that carried the boys to Joliet last night, for the car car- ecned off the road while going 35 miles an hour and plunged onto the unballasted tracks of the Chi- cago and Joliet electric railway. The prisoners, handcuffed to their guards narrowly escaped death as the car lunged fifty feet down the track and came to a hait. | The journey was then continued uninterrupted and the prison gates closed behind the mew prisoners at T7:46 p. m, After the accident the two boys seemed badly frightened and pos- #essed of less nonchalance than during the period of their trial and following their sentence last Wed- nesday, Behaved Well They entered thelr new environs with an _alr of apparent interest and Warden John L. Whitman sald they both were well behaved dur- ing the pfeliminary proceedings in- cident ‘upon the ‘“dressing In.'" They observed all instructions promptly and willingly," he sald. Today life will have changed de- cldedly for these intellectual sons of millionaires, There will be no more meals brought to them from the outside, nor will there be visits from friends. Even visits from rel- atlves ‘will be restricted. The world will probably learn how the prison environment affects Leopold and Losb for it has been Intimated that the psychiatrists plan to continue their study of the boys' mental make up.
