—Nathan Leopold," Jr., one of the
th rill killers’* of Bobby Franks,
has been completely exonerated of
the charge that he waa “ financier
of an alleged fall break plap of
1,200 prioners.

The Investigation into Leopold's
alleged financing came on the
heels of the sensational Jail break
here Saturday when three con­
demned Mexicans, .of whom two
were later recaptured in a gun
duel, made a dash for liberty.
The Mexicans, with tb u e others,
had been sentenced to hang for
the murder of deputy Warden
Petef M. Klein last spring, whlh
they were making another dash
for freedom.
