Body of Wealthy Manufac
turer Is Discovered in
Greenwich Village
NEW YORK, Aug. 22 A tin
box in a Greenwich village base
ment today gave up the . body of
aged Aaron Graff, wealthy manu
facturer of Wilkes Barre, Penn,,
and furnished the homicide squad
another gruesome - mystery to
solve. .
Graff, missing since August 1,
had been strangled! His limbs
had been hacked off and crammed
with the rest of the body into a
galvanized tin container four feet
long. . Blankets had been stuffed
around him; the lid of the. box had
been sealed with shellac, and over
all had been poured a thick coat
ing; of wax and plaster of paris.
A tiny hole in the box released
an odor of. decomposition, which
caused residents of. the building
to complain to health authorities.
This morning detectives, who for
weeks had been searching for
Graff, traced the odor to the base
ment and thence to the box.
The dead man was a manufac
turer of radio cabinets. The base
ment where his body was found
was occupied by the family of
John Logasy, a carpenter, from
wnom Gralt purchased cabinets in
the rough. Logasy is reported by
his wife to . have been missing
since August 9 and a general
alarm was broadcast tonight for
his arrest. ; His wife and one of
his carpenter shop employes were
In custody as material witnesses.
Graff was 72 years old and
occupied an apartment in West
72nd street. When last seen by
his wife he had $800 cash on his
person and; set forth to the Logaay
home on, West 12th street to pay
the carpenter $100 onl account.
Police say jGraf f also had a ren
dezvous with bootleggers for in
vestment of the remainder of the
$800 in liquor. No money was
found In the tinbox.

MAD RUSH FOR SEATS
AT AFTERNOON SESSION
Becomes Necessary for Po
lice Force to Clear the
Entire Building
CHICAGO, Aug. 22. (By the
Associated Press). The "killing"
of Bobby Franks was a senseleas
thing, an unreasonable, unex
plainable and foolish act that
could, have been conceived and
executed only by a diseased mind,"
said Clarence S. Darrow, 67 year
old veteran of the criminal court
battles,; In his plea today before
Judge John R. Caverly . for the
lives of Nathan F. Leopold Jr. and
Richard Loeb. "Why did they
kill little Bobby Franks?" asked
the gray-haired pleader,' pointing
a shaking forefinger at the Jud,?e.
"Not for money. They, had that.
Not for spite, not for hate. They
killed him as they might kill a
fly or a spider, for the experience.
lieciares "poniethIng Slipped"
"Because somewhere," and here
the strident tone sank to a pitch
of regret, "in the finite processes
that go in the making of the boy
or the man, something slipped.
And now these unfortunate lads
sit here hated, despised, outcast
and with the community Bbouting
for their blood."
The appeal proved too much for
the self control of the culprits.
Throughout, most of the afternoon
they sat tense, " Loeb following
every movement , of the pleader;
Leopold growing pale beneath his
customary ruddy flesh.
But when Mr. Darrow's elo
quence pictured disgrace to th
families the grief of mothers, th
sorrow of fathers, -the blasted
hopes for the boys themselves,
Dickie flicked tears from hl
cheeks and Leopold stumbled frorv
the court room with bowed head.
Leopold Is Overcome
So overcome was the latter that
he struck blindly against a par
tition narrowing the entrance to
the "bull pen." The impact
drove him sidewise, but he did not
raise his head. With extended
arms he plowed past the bailiffs
and fairly plunged into the ele
vator that was waiting to convey
him to the approach ot Cook coun
ty's "bridge of sighs.",
" Judge Caverly leaned forward,
resting his. chin upon his clasped
hands and riveting his eves, upon
the speaker.
State's Attorney Unmoved ,
.Robert E. Crowe, 'state's attor
ney, and his assistant prosecutors,
sat motionless. Early in the day
mt. vruwe uau interrupted waiter
Bachrach, junior counsel for 'the
defense, as the latter sought by
the evidence and written opinions
of the prosecution's own alienists
to show that Leopold and Loeb
had "paranoid personalities." But
no voice came from the chairs of
the state's forces while Mr. Dar
row was speaking.
Surrounding the judge were vis
iting legal luminaries from other
Chicago courts and from outside
cities. Back of the speaker were
hundreds of spectators who had
gained places in the room after a
struggle through the mob of. curi
osity seekers whose tactics be
came so rough that half a hundred
extra policemen had to be sum
moned, i
Riot for Scats
A small riot preceded the after
noon session. The strucgle to gain
admission to the already crowded
courtroom ended only when the
police at Judge Caverly'a order
cleared the entire building.
Those who won past the guard
ians sat with craning necks during
the hot afternoon absorbing every
word of the , argument. They
missed parts of It, for at times Mr.
Darrow's voice dropped until it
