"There was some conversation about the psychology of man, of animals and of human behavior, and the ques tion of where instinct ceased and rea son began and how each was con trolled.” said the doctor. "I don’t think there was any particular sub ject outside that range. He selected the subjects.” "Did you regard that conversation as a part of your examination?” and “did you consider the situation well adapted for your purposes?” were questions asked by Mr. Bachrach. Dr. Patrick gave affirmative replies. ”1 was not paying any attention to other things and apparently Leopold was not.” said the doctor. Study of Character. “This sort of conversation, of course, would not throw considerable light on the mental processes, but it was ex ceedingly well adapted to bring out certain things. It was well adapted to ascertain his mental concentration, his ability to hold a conversation in the presence of other people. It was an excellent opportunity to se£ how logical his mind was. an opportunity to learn to a considerable- degree his use of language and memory.” “Leopold did not seem at all ex cited and was quite cool and col lected." said Dr. Patrick. "When Mr. Crowe took charge of the proceedings, was there anything else talked about, except on the sub jects you have heretofore indicated?” , asked Mr. Bachrach. ■leads From Notes. “I could not really tell, 1 took no notes at the time, except possibly one or two things, but I Jotted them down afterwards." said the doctor. Reading from his notes. Dr. Pat rick continued: "Leopold was responsive, although j very inaccessible. Emotionally nor | mal in discussion. Beemed quite sus ceptible to flattery.” ’’Mostly I listened,” said Dr. Patrick in reference to his conversation with Leopold. The questioning for 10 minutes pursued the apparently aimless trend of the last 30 minutes yesterday, finally reaching the statement that more than 15 persons were present when Dr. Patrick examined Leopold. “Did you ever in your life make an examination as to mental condition under such conditions?” asked Mr Bachrach. ”1 think not." replied Dr. Patrick. “ffh.n they were all assembled, how did the meeting open?" asked Mr. Bachrach. (Time Story Repeated. "The story of the crime was told over again. 1 think at the request of Mr. Crowe, who made the remark about it being told for our benefit." -Dr. Patrick said. “He suggested that we observe them. At any rate, we knew we were there for an examina tion. We listened in and asked some questions afterward.” Mr. Bachrach asked that Dr. Pat rick tell him what the youth had said about the crime. “Oh, gee. must 1 tell all that again?" almost gasped the doctor. “Yes, as minutely as you can,” urged Mr. Bachrach. Dr. Patrick again told the story of 1 CO-OPERATIVE I OWN YOUR own apartment home 3018-20-22-24-26-28 Porter Street N.W.

Just a comfortable distance from downtown. £T OWN YOUR OWN APARTMENT HOME f The own-your-own-apartment-home idea has come to have a recognized place as a means for providing satisfactory residential quarters. This is our second step in an attempt to meet the increasing demand for an opportunity to turn valueless apartment rent receipts into tangible assets and retain all the comfort, conveniences and economies of life in an apartment, with the incomparable satisfaction and independence of home ownership. The extraordinary success of our recent sale of co-operative apartments in the first new building ever sold in Washington, at 1/05 Lanier Place N.W., convinced us that the public has fully awakened “ to the 'splendid advantages in this form of home ownership. Twenty-four of the Thirty apartments in that building were sold before they were ready for occupancy. Eighteen were sold in the first week of adver- , n tising, before the building was under roof. . * p PORTER STREET APARTMENTS We now offer for sale under a co-operative ow nership plan, these six new, thoroughly modern and exceedingly attractive buildings, in course of construction by M. & R. B. Warren, well known builders of high-class buildings, which will be among the most substantially constructed buildings in the city. Each building will contain twelve apartments, seventy-two in all. Every one will be an outside corner apart ment, insuring plenty of light and ventilation. In each building seven of the apartments will consist of one bedroom, living room, dining alcove, kitchen, bathroom, reception hall, and capacious closets. Five of the LI apartments will have an additional bedroom. ~ J 3 There will be thirty-six garages in the rear of the apartments, in groups of six to a building, a decidedly desirable feature. L. The land on which these buildings are being constructed will contain nearly two and one-half acres, having a frontage on Porter Street of four hundred eighty feet and an average depth of about two hundred twenty-five feet. The landscape gardening will be under the supervision of experts. The buildings will present an irregular frontage, being located at varying distances from the street, averaging about fifty feet, so as to permit of spacious front lawns with shrubs and evergreens artistically arranged. The rear apartments will view a beautiful Community Park, extending the full width of all the land between the buildings and the garages. The garages will be faced away from the apartments and will open on a concrete driveway. They will be made to harmonize with the Community Park by having trellised screens. Beyond the garages and the concrete drivewav, and extending the full width of all the land, will be a delightful grove of full grown trees, adding the final touch of allurement to this wholly attractive development. Fi ONE-FIFTH CASH-MONTHLY PAYMENTS LESS THAN RENT F This offer is placed wdthin the reach of those who have heretofore found home ownership beyond their means, or in the distant future, by the very reasonable terms on which the apartments are sold. An apart ment in these buildings can be purchased by making a payment of one fifth of the purchase price and small monthly installments. The monthly payments, including curtail, interest and expenses, are considerably less than the rental rate of the apartments. For example: An apartment consisting of a bedroom, living room, dining alcove, kitchen, bathroom and reception hall, that would rent for seventy dollars a month, can be purchased for fifty-nine hundred dollars bv paying eleven hundred and eighty dollars in cash and a total of fifty-nine dollars a month. Forty-seven dollars and twenty cents of the monthly payment will apply to curtail of the r=j trusts and interest. Eleven dollars and eighty cents is the proportionate share in the estimated budget of expenses. The estimated budget of expenses include all items of cost of operation, such as taxes, insurance. Z janitor service, coal, electricity, water rent, management charge, ashes removal, supplies, etc. This is a liberally estimated budget and does not take into consideration the revenue to be obtained from the garags, about Z seven hundred and twenty dollars annually to each building, which will accrue to the credit of the owners.

The motive was one or me flrat things asked about after the story of the crime had been told to him, Dr- Patrick said. “Mr. Crowe asked Leopold if money had anything to do with 1L” said the witness, "and both Loeb and Leopold said It was part of the plan.” Dr. Patrick said he did not hear anything said about the "perfect crime,” but that that idea was pres ent during, his conversation with the youths. As to expressions of remorse, Dr. Patrick said Loeb remarked that he regretted the crime on account of his father, who was ill. "Otherwise there was no display of remorse,” said the doctor. "They both concluded by saying something about not being quitters when they were asked if they could have backed out of the Prime at any time after they started planning it." continued the doctor. “Crowe Would Protect Him.” Progressing to the notes of the con versation he had with I-oeb. Dr. Patrick ,read : "Leopo'd made a statement that Mr. Crowe had told him he could tell the whole story of the crime without any reservations and that Mr. Crows would protect him and take care of him. Mr. Crowe denied that he had made any such statement.” Other notes the witness read were: “After had finished his luncheon he took a little bottle from his pocket and put its contents In the glass of water and drank it. It was significant for me to note that his hand was very steady." “Mr. Loeb, in repi.v to one of the questions as to the motives, said 'it was done in a spirit of adventure.’ "Another note is to the effect that Loeb s account of his reading was ex ceedingly e’ear," said the witness. "I 1 made another note that 1 thought it was in error, but I do not recall what I significance I attached to it at that time. His account seemed well con nected.” i “In the discussion between the two young ircn as to who wielded the i cold ch in the killing of the Franks boy.

He did not explain why.” "Did Leopold appear to be anything but frank in his statements to you?" asked Mr. Bachrach. "There was not any obvious evi dence of his lying. It looked 4o me as if they were telling the story right, in the main. Os course, I could not tell whether there was anything other than the truth. But I don't think there was anything misleading. Might be. of course; 1 don't know. I have the same conclusions about Loeb.” “Did you get the impression from anything Loeb said on that occasion that ht was trying to make you think he was suffering from any mental disease?” asked Mr. Bachrach. ”Oh. no.” Dr. Patrick said. “Was there any evidence shown you that either of the boys were mentally diseased on May 21. 1U24?” asked Mr. Bachrach.
