RELATE W (Continued from page 1) the proceeding settled buck to the tragic realities of a fight to save two Ill-year-old college stu dents from tho gallows. Just before Johnny's uppear- ance there has cropped up the un decided dispute between Leopold and Locb a to which one hud ac tually struck "Bobby" Pranks with a cold chisel and then dragged him, gagged and strangling from the, front scat Into the tonueau of the death car. This came out first while Wallace Hulllvnn, a newspaper reportor, was on the stand. Sullivan testified that he had been with tho defendants when the police look them on un automobile tour June L the day after their confession, to point out the vari ous localities connected with the crime. Ho suld tho cars had stop ped at a hospital where one of the police officials was undergoing treatment for an injury. "I asked Leopold flatly whether he killed Hobcrt Kranks or if,Ioeb killed him," said Hullivun. "Leo pold said Locb did the killing, so I went back to Loeb's cur und I said. -'Nathan suld you killed Bob by Franks. Is It true?" Both 1 Hilled Blow. "Loeb said 'No.' So I returned to Leopold's cur and said, 'It looks pretty bad for ion, Leopold. Locb has the confidence of ull the reporters and he seems to have convinced everyone that you are the one who really struck the boy, und he said '1 can prove It was 1 who was driving that car inas much a Loeb admits that the boy was sitting In the front seat (and Klro Chief Murchlson and ' his family who spent their vacation camping on the south fork of tho Wallowa river returned to La Grande yesterday. They said they got lots of fish but that the great number of people who have been fishing Iho river In tho last week or so have lessened the chances of catching a good mess.
