Caverly sentenced Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, to life imprisonment for mur- der. The petition which Grant's lawyer will | to the governor probably tomorrow, will not be simply a genti- mental appeal based on the action in the Leopold-Loeb case, but the at- torney sald he would cite the facts in the care, that Walter Krauser, un- der a death sentence with Grant for the murder of Raiph Souders, a pol- fceman, had reptdiated his first statement implicating Grant and now states that Grant had ‘nothing to do with the holdup of a tea and coffee store in whlch Souders was killed. Grant glaims he was 19 when the crime w‘ cgumitted—the same ago as Leopold and Loeb. Krauser also asserts lie was only 19. Grant's ap- peal to the sipreme court was re- fused, and his only hope for escape from the gallows is ' action by the governor. Krauser has an appeal pending before the supreme court. Grant's méther is a widow. He was resred §n the district near the stock yards.
