Dr. Church made a strong point for the state when he said Leopold told him that they planned the kidnaping and murder for ransom. Loeb, the doctor said, broke in at various times with his version. Loeb \blamed Leopold and Ledpold blamed | Loeb for the actual death blows with the chisel, the doctor said. Loeb and Leopold listened to this latest recital of their crime with more attention than they had given previously. They lis- tened attentively while Dr. Chureh quoted them on the car- rying out of the crime, how Rob- ert’s body was stripped and car- ried to the lonely hiding place in the railroad culvert. The youths leaned over and chatted with their attorneys at frequent in- tervals, checking over the doc- tor’s story Dr. Church said he asked young Loeb why he killed young Franks, “Loeb's face twitched, he shifted on his fect and nearly cried,” the witness said, “and admitted he didn't know whi in the world he did it.” “When I asked Leopold the same question, he admitted one chief motives was the ransom. “I was particularly interested in the following statement which Loeb made: ‘We know what we were do. ing and we could have ended our plans whenever we chose, but I'm not a quitler. The agreement on the money was 50-50 split, with the un derstanding none of the money was to be spent in Chicago for a period of one year. Dr. Church supported Dr. Patrick's conclusion on Loeb. “Loch and Leopold suffered from no mental disease of any character, Dr. Church ‘sald in reply to a ques-| tion. His conclusions, he testified, based on the fact that both defend ants had a complete understanding who they w where they were, that both had good memories and that Leéopold especially had intelli gence and apparently good judg ment.
