The Loeb-Leopold Case
Dear Dick: Just a line, as I am awfully busy, and I am
coming to you for help. I have an exam in history, 17,
and know nothing about it. Furthermore, my notes are
no good. You said last semester that you would let me
take your notes in the course. Please send them to me
right away if you can. My exam is next Friday and I
must study. Please drop me a line and let me know,
so I may know whether to plan on them or not. I am
damn sorry that we couldn't see each other while I was
home, but you are always so busy. I guess I
am, too, while home. But I always feel as though I am
intruding when you guys are gambling because I don't
gamble that high. At any rate better luck next time
when home.
Thanks in advance for your trouble,
Sincerely,
Bobby,
It is in evidence in this case, if your Honor please,
that both of these defendants had a bank account.
We put a witness on the stand, an employe of Sears,
Roebuck, who testified that from time to time she
gave checks to the defendant Loeb here. She told
me about two checks for two hundred and fifty
dollars; I am not quite certain about the date and I
want to be accurate.
His allowance was $250 a month, so they say.
The Charlevoix Bank statement shows that he de-
posited on March 15, 1923, $141.55; March 25,
$125.00; May 16, $345.00; May 31, $300.00. All
this was in 1923. June 28, $683.00; July, $171.40;
July 13, $259.00; July 16, $108.00; July 21, $50.00;
