HOT GUILTY IS TOBEFUADr Council for Lepold and Loeb Announces Intention to Fight Charges of Murder and Kidnaping DISCREPANCIES WAY PROVE THEIR SANITY Notes on Comments of Each Others Confessions' Said to Be Valuable . ' ' v CHICAGO, June 9. Nathan Leopold, Jr., and Richard Loeb, millionaires' sons, who kidnaped and killed! Robert Franks, will en ter pleas of not guilty when ar raigned 'Wednesday on Indict ments charging murder and' ki naplng for ransom, their "couns announced today. Meanwhi Robert E. Crowe, state's attorne resumed , presentation of certain angles of the case to the grand Jury with a view to combatting a possible insanity plea of the der fense. The grand jury may still indict the youths for conspiracy to kidnap' for ransom' and to murder, he indicated. . . 4 " The principal discrepancy I the confessions of the boys, wh said they selected a school boy a random and killed him for excit ment, was believed by Mr. Crowe to have been cleared up today with the statement of a chauffeur whd said he saw Loeb driving an autoj mobil with Leopold a' short timi before the kidnaping. Both' Loeb and Leopold said ii their' confessions that they - drov the automobile in which the Franks' boy Vas . kidnaped and fclainrach Ticcusing his eompanioa of doin the killing. Carl Ulving, the chauffeur, said he knew Loeb quite well' and' had waved at him as the car passed and that Loeb returned the salute. Among others taken before the grand jury today were four mem bers of the staff - of the library of the University; of Chicago, who were expected to tell : of books Loeb withdrew from the library and which were left behind when he departed' from a Chicago hotel, where he had' registered under an assumed name, the alias being part of the scheme to establish fic titious identities in case the boys were forced to flee, according to their confessions. Final efforts were also made to find the type bars wrenched from the typewriter used In composing the ransom letters. The typewrit er was taken from the bottom of a lagoon by a diver Saurday and the boys said they also threw the type into this lagoon where divers are hunting for it. Notes taken by each of the youths when the confession of the other boy was read to him were made public by the state's attor ney's office which Indicated that the notes dealing with discrepan cies, which the one who made them believes existed in the oth er's confession would prove valu able evidence in showing the boys to be sane. Attorneys for- Waller Wilson, an instructor at, the private school the Franks boy attended and who was held by the police for several days as a suspect in the slaying, said' that Wilson had been beaten and subjected to other third - de gree' methods by the police and added that they were prepared to file charges against the officers.'

The championship aspirations of Harry Wills sustained a setback tonight when the giant negro heavyweight failed to knock out Bartley Mad den, rugged west side Irishman in alS-round match at' the Queens boro stadium. Wills won' the judges' decision and gained it by a decisive margin. but Madden, fighting one of the most courageous battles seen in a metropolitan ring In years, stood up under the negro's most terrific attacks. Wills employed his great advan tage in reach and 23 pounds mar gin in weight to good advantage, battered Madden all over the ring, opened nasty cuts about his op ponent's ears, mouth and eyes, but the hardest punches of the negro failed to more than , shake the tough West Sider. Fighting the last four rounds with a 8 1 ream of blood blinding his vision, Madden stood up under a terrific bombardment, and at times brought the crowd of 20,000 to Its feet In recognition ot his gameness by : lashing out In a counter offensive. Wills had Madden on the verge of a knockout at least twice once in the fifth round, when, a shower of- blows to the; head' sent the Irishman reeling to a corner. and again in the twelfth, when it seemed that Madden must go down under the attack that sent , blood gushing from the cuts' about his head. But Madden, courageous toi the core, stuck to his guns; twice he lunged in with a left hook that stunr Wills and slowed up the negro's attack and at the bell for the final round the Irishman was still on his feet battling' back; FLIERS LJ1VVE HONG KONG HONG KONG,-June 10-TBy The American- army V around-the world ; flierg left , herd at 10:17 o'clock this morning for I Haip hong, French Indo-China, in' CiDlTEFO!: Former Governor r.c-lt:r: '.
