PLICA OF GUILTY
(“Sydney Sun” Cables)
(Received tin’s day at 12.30 pm.) NEW YORK, duly 21
Clarence Darrow, counsel for Koch and Leopold, absolutely astounded tlie prosecution this morning when he entered a plea of guilty on hehalf of lus youthful clients. He said he did not propose to waste time fighting over the testimony, whether the boys killed young Franks. “Our stand,” he declared,” is that my clients did the kidnapping and killing, but they aie morally irresponsible. I do not saggest they should be free, in tact I want them placed under confinement, where they will mil harm the com-
munity again. The case was adjourned to allow the calling of medical evidence. Loch's father is seriously ill of heart disease.
