Two Jeopardies in Chicago as Lewd Plot Threats and Leopold Loeb Move
In Chicago, Sheriff Hoffman rushed to Joliet after an anonymous threat to blow up the county jail during the Leopold Loeb case. Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold Jr. were to be moved to Joliet Penitentiary to serve life plus 9 years for kidnapping Robert Franks, 14, while the murder sentence stood at life. Authorities planned armed guards and a staged transfer with police protections, as crowds gathered outside the jail and legal papers awaited final review.
