CHICAGO. June 7 Tk. .
fesslon of Richard Loeb, companion
of Nathan E. Leopold, Jr., in tho
kidnaping which led those two sons
of old millionaire Chicago families
io sin rtooert Franks, was made
public today.
All the blame for the murder of
Robert Franks is placed upon Na
than Leopold, Jr., by his former
chum, Richard Loeb, in a confession
made by the latter to State's Attor
ney Crowe a week, ago and made
public here today.
"I want to say that I offer no
excuse. If It was not for the sug
gestion and stimulance of Leopold,
the crj.ie would not have been com-,
mltted," Loeb said, In ending his
confession.
Loeo, in his confessions Bays' that
the "plan was broached by Leopold,"
as a means of excitement and adven

Mr. Johnson was Introduced bv Rev.
Knotts, and opened his address with
the statement that all kinds of ru
mors, stories, emd propaganda are be
ing circulated In foreign countries by
the supporters of the liquor business,
in an effort to convince these nations
mat proniDition in America is a
failure. "The American people," he
said, "are quick to scidp a failure. If
a law does not work. It Is repealed, If
machinery does not function properly
It Is scraped.' Anything that the Am
erican people do not like Is quickly
done away with.
America has adopted prohibition be
cause she has found after fifty years
of trial that it Is not a failure.
"Why did this movement spread so
persistently for 60 years?" the
speaker asked. Did it spread for 50
years because of failure. How prohi
bition goes in America will determine
how It goes in foreign nations. J
