My favorite tidbit from the L+L case:

From "Loeb's Confession Accuses Leopold; Typewriter Found," Chicago Daily News, 7 June 1924:

Curt Geissler, 647 West 19th Street, Milwaukee, offered himself as a substitute for one of the boys on the gallows, in a letter to Chief of Police Collins received to-day. The letter is only one of hundreds of freak communications that have reached the chief, the state's attorney and the accused boys since the confessions.

"I am willing to take the place of one of the boys in case they are to be hung," Geissler wrote. "If this can be legally arranged and the parents and the parents of one of the boys are willing to pay my heirs $1,000,000 then I am ready to be hung any time the law is ready to call on me, as there is no glory in life ahead of me."

The Victim's dad is the mummy!

I can't decipher my first comment either. I think it might've been to do with baiting middle class kids. But I did have a skinful yussterday.

Anyone ever seen Swoon, the movie about them?

Not I! Do tell.
