Mrs. Goodman, shortly after 3 o'clock, heard her son, Leonard, 8, gasping for breath In an adjoining where he and another son, Irwin, 5. were asleep.

She left her bed and was surprised to find that she was hardly able to walk. She tried to awaken her husband, Jul-lua When he did not respond to her calling she started to scream. Her cries attracted other tenants In the house, who quickly came to aid and opened the windows. An ambulance was summoned from the Coney Island Hospital. Dr.

Attentive) to' Girt Despite the' intimacy -of his relationship with" Loeb. Leopold found time to devote considerable attention to a girl. She' was Susan Lurte, a senior at the University of Chicago and unusually attractive. She vigorously denied that-she ever had been engaged to him." however.

"I have known him ever a year and are good friends," she said. "He never proposed. Oh, perhaps said things that some' girls -would take for proposals, but I believe I understand those things." She said they used to converse together In that' he called at her home a number pf times and took her to theater or. to danies. "We had" an engagement the Friday night following the Wednesday on which the Franks boy was killed." she continued.

"At that time, mind you, with, this crime fresh on his mind, he seemed gay. He did not once mention the sensation that was sweeping over the city. We danced and were happy. He was charming then. I hav had trouble making myself believe, even now, that is guilty." met for lunch last Wednesday, just before Leopold was ar rested.

Leopold bought a newspaper and smilingly remarked he wanted to read the news In Franks case, the girl said. "His eyes ran. down-, the columns of type." she "He seemed highly amused. Then he carco to the part that referred to the anonymous letter written to Jacob Franks, the letter that, called the father of the dead boy a 'dirty skunk' and threatened the life of his daughter. 'That's a good Babe (Leopold's-nickname) said.

He laughed. He thought the fellow who sent the letter was a- great Joker." The girl said she suggested to Leopold as a Joke that he go to the police and confess the murder. He laughed and told her then she would get the 310.000 reward. "Babe was always fond of studying emotions," Miss Lurle continued. "He would analyze, separate and study our emotions.

He would go back over conversations to trace our line of thought, our reasoning. It was. all very interesting. He was good company, but, of course. I had no intimation of the terrible things that were whirling through his wonderful brain." Identifies Death Car.

Leopold and Loeb were not interrupted in their studies by the "experiment" that ended In the death of young Franks. They continued In their post-graduate classes an. lectures. jjoeo was specializing in history and Leopold In law. State's Attorney Crowe, with a number, of assistant prosecutors, detectives and reporters, took the young men to the yard of the jail where an automobile stood.

"Is this the automobile in which you killed Franks?" he asked first one and then- the other. Leopold said he could make sure. He went to 'one side of the car where blood stains were still visible, looked at the paint, and felt of the surface between the doors. "This Is the automobile," he said. "It has streaks in its otherwise smooth surface." He consented to pose at the wheel for photographers, but Loeb would not enter the car at the same time.

"Not with him!" he exclaimed. "He elalms It was I who hit Franks over the head and stuffed the rag In his mouth. I- was driving and he did it, but he says he was driving and that I did it." The difference between the two was demonstrated again when they talked over the telephone to their homes. Loeb talked to his mother. He Insisted over and over again that he had committed the murder.

Leopold was business-like and matter-of-fact. "Send me a change of clothes, and isn't it about, time you engaged an attorney for me 7" he said. His mother is dead and his father very 111. "Yes. I did It and we've got to face it and make the best of it" he added.

loeb Digs Up Belt. A score of detectives and assistant prosecutors Saturday took the prisoners on an excursion to the places where they had disposed of the murderer boy's clothing. In a desolate spot near Hessville, beyond Hammond, Loeb late last nlsht pointed out where he had buried tha shoes and helt of the victim. The shoes were found, but not the belt. The search for the latter was resumed yesterday.

The detectives watched while Loeb dug In first one place and then another, while Leopold looked on smiling. The detectives suspected Loeb's sincerity, but be soon brought the belt to light. Loeb has declared he burned the clothing in a furnace in the basement of his home, but not a button could be found there. Nearly everything else has been accounted for save the portable typewriter on which the note to Mr. Franks, demanding 310,000 ransom, was written.

The machine was wrecked, according to the boys' confession. The type-bars were thrown Into the Jackson Park lagoon and the frame In another part of the lagoon. Divers have searched for 24 hours without finding the parts. The police have copies of Leopold's "equity" examination written at the untversltv on that machine. Experts agree that the ransom letter and the thesis were typed by the same man on the same machine.

Jarn'ecte, arrived at the Federal Building this ng to answer the call of the calendar the United States Supreme Court. where they are to be put on trial on indictments of conspiracy to violate the National Prohibition Act.

Hiram W. Todd, special United States Attorney General, who is going to prosecute the' case, announced himself ready to proceed, but he anticipated the attorneys for Means would ask for an adjournment. Over the opposition of Mr. Todd, Judge George English set the trial of Means and Jamecke peremptorily for Friday, June 13. At the same time the ball of Means and Jarnf-cke was increased from $15,000 to and they were given until tomorrow morning to furnish it.

Former Magistrate Charles G. Wahle. who appeared for Means and Jamecke submitted affidavits showing that Thomas B. Felder. attorney for Means, is engaged in trial of a case in Rochester.

The affidavit set forth that the case has already been on for two weeks and is likely to continue a week more. Mr. Wahle asked for a two weeks' adjournment. This was objected to by Mr. Todd, who Informed the court there had already been eight adjournments.

Ho said the first two adjournmenta had been granted because Means was physically unable to go on, due to Illness, and other adjournments have been granted because of the Illness of counsel. He added that Judge Hand had directed the defendants to secure other counsel, and that Means and Jamecke had obtained John Mc-Govern to represent them. Mr. Mc- Govern -interrupted to say tnat colonel Felder was the attorney for Means and Jarneoke and that he knew nothing about, the case and would be unable to appear. The Indictment on which Means and Jamecke are to be tried is one charging conspiracy -to violate the National Prohibition Act through the withdrawal of whisky from Government bonded warehouses.

After this matter had been disposed of Means and Jarnecke were arraigned on the indictment charging them with conspiracy to obstruct justice and hribery. This indictment was found May 13 last, and grew out of the accusation of Samuel Safir that Means, Jamecke and Colonel Felder had obtained from him and other defendants in the Craiger System-Glass Casket inall' fraud rase $65,000 with which to brihe former Attorney General Harry Daugherty, Hnywnjd. United States Attorney for this district, and a number of assistant Federal attorneys. Means and Jarnecke pleaded not guilty and were held in $10,000 bail each. They asked for an adjournment, of one week, withdraw their plea and to demur to'the indictment.

RULING MAY REOPEN BIG 5 PACKERS CASE Court of Appeals Upholds Right of Canneries to Intervene. Washington, June 2 A decision that may have the effect of reopening the whole field of litigation involved in the big five packers consent decree case was handed down by the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. Reversing a lower court ruling, the Court of Appeals upheld the right of the California Co-operative Canneries to intervene In the case. Under the consent decree entered into between the packers and Attorney General Palmer in 1920 the packing companies 'were to divest themselves of various collateral properties. Including their stockyards and grocery distribution agencies.

The California canneries, in asking to be heard, declared they were vitally interested became Armour Co. had contracted with them to market 62 percent of their entire output. If the decree were permitted to stand the business of the canneries, they Insisted, would be materially injured. Recently, while the case was in the Court of Appeals, the Armour and Swift concerns also attacked the validity of the decree, alleging It had been entered into without authority and declaring the Federal Government, in a brief filed by Attorney General Daugherty. had wrongly inferred that the very existence of the consent agreement indicated that theretofore there had been evidence of anti-trust violations by the packers.

The effect of today's ruling will be to send the rase bark to the Federal District Court here with an order that the plea of the canneries be admitted to consideration in eny decision as to the validity of the decree. MELISH AND GUTHRIE OPPOSE DECISION IN BISHOPBROWNCASE Considerable difference of opinion developed today in interviews with several prominent Episcopal clergy men rezardini the by a. tria! court Cleveland Saturday a'. ormer Bishop Wiiliar-. esy Brown, who was round of "extreme hferesy." The decision of the trial was denounced by tha Rev.

John Howard rector ot Holy Trinity Church on Clinton and by the Rev. WlMimn Norman Guthrie, rector of St. Mark's-ln-the- Bouwerle, Manhattan. They both declared they believed the trial should never have taker, place. The nev.

Mr. Jlelish. of the conviction of Bishop Brown said: "The House of Bishops has made a serious blunder. The trie! was an uncharitable act on the par; of three Bishops who drew up th? presentment. He declared Bishop Brown "had naively told the court that he had preached against Dar winism without knowing anything about what Darwin had written; that he had also opposed without knowing what it was." "When he was finally induced to look into both of these teachings he swallowed bait, hook and sinker.

Even then he saw no conflict between them and the Apostles and Nlcene Creeds. He- told his Judges he believed all the articles of faith. What Bishop Brown should have done was to have gone to Union Theological Seminary or the Cambridge Divinity School ar.d taken a course under Professor Scott" or Dr. Brown. A few lectures from Professor Sirakhovitch of Columbia University or Kirsopp Lake of Harvard would have straightened out his thinking along these lines Instead, he sat down and wrote a book.

Men like Bishop Brown make the last book they read their master. Hersey trials belong to the Middle Ages. The judgment of this court has only the value of a book concluded Mr. Melish. Mistake, Says Guthrie.

-Dr. Guthrie tnitiks the whole thing a "mistake." "They should not have the. efforts of Bishop Brown at enlightenment so seriously," he said. "The decision won't help the Church. It never helps to affirm Its truths negatively by condemnation.

The truths should be acclaimed affirmatively. Bishop Brown spent 40 years in the service of the Church and the dear old man should have been let go his own way." Bishop Brown was found guilty of heresy by a trial court at Cleveland and, according to the charge, "did hold and teach and distribute through a book, 'Communism and certain doctrines contrary to those held by the Protestant Episcopal Church of America." In contradiction to the opinions expressed by Mr. Melish and Dr. Guthrie today was that of the Rev. Frank Worthington Crelghton, rec-rbr of St.

Ann's Church, who declared "the conviction of Bishop Brown is quite just." Mr. Crcigii-ton said that Bishop Brown could not be considered a ModerniBt because "he is away off on a tangent. He Is In a class all by himself and his views are unique, to say the least. His writings about Uncle Sam and Jesus being equal are all his own ideas. He can in no wav he classed as a Modernist," said Mr.

Crelghton. The only comment that the Rev. Robert Rogers, rector of the Church of the Good Shepherd, would make, was: "I don't believe In heresy trials.

Patrolman Thomas Reid of the Poplar st.

As lie did sg Reld was a'tacked from the rear by two vicious bulldogs, whici. spranff from the open stable door. The attack of the brutes was so sudden that before Reid could defend himself he was bitten severely undtr the right knee and on tho right elbow.

Reid turned his attention to the dogs then, but before he could subdue them theyOiad almost torn his unrform blous-1 to shreds. He arrested the negro, William Hill, a laborer, and then served a summons on the proprietor of the stable. A-n-tonjo NartolH, for viciouc and unmuzzled dogs. At the station Reld was attended by an ambulance surgeon from the hospital of the Holy Family, who dressed his injuries.

"Do you know, Chief," he asked, "that Julius Caesar married an Irishwoman?" "You don't say!" exclaimed the Chief. "Yes, Suetonius has it. It was in Gaul and her name was Bridget. That's Irish, in't It?" Passing a golf course, he said: "That Is a ridiculous game. See the ooor nuts chasing balls- and thinking they will live longer.

Leopold likes-to talk of himself In the third person: He resorted to this when the detecties took him to a restaurant for supper. Ha insisted on conversing with persons at his table and all nts conversation centered about Nathan F. Leopold Jr.

He began with food after ordering herring. "I suppose you don't like it bu. then you aren't Jewish. I presume," he continued with a lifting of his eyebrows, "that you've never eaten seaweed. Nor dog meat? Bamboo shoots? Then evidently you haven't been in Hawaii." He added that he wanted to try evervthing and he did.

"Curious, isn't it," he suggested, "that two of the sweetest meats a-e squirrel and rabbit, shunned by man who are repelled by them. It's Just tradition, and so many of our traditions are irrational, don't you think?" The Franks boy's father shows no vindictiveness toward the' parents of Leopold and Loeb. but he is' so bitter against the youths themselves that he offered to furnish poison for them. Mrs. Franks sunerea a severe relapse when she learned of the youths' There seemed to be no sympathy for the confessed slayers in expressions heard on (he streets.

"I'd hang 'em like that" -and "KillinK for money and their Iatners millionaires," were some of the expressions. Loeb's Viewpoint Loeb Is alternately hopeful and in despair. He does not entirely relis the idea that Leopold, the iitronger mind, dominated him. "Perhaps he did dominate me, but he killed the boy," Loeb declared. "We did it for excitement and the money.
