MURDER IN SAFETY.
MILLIONAIRE CASE SEQUEL. CHICAGO, Oct. 12. Judges here cannot hang youthful murderers any more, Nicholas Guido and Tony Damico, aged 20 strangled Jim Burk, a boardinghouse keeper but ever since Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb escaped the death penalty for the murder of the schoolboy Franks, they have felt certain that they would not be executed. Their attorney modelled his defence on that of Leopold and Lceb’s counsel, and said that he only wanted the same treatment for his clients, whom he admitted were guilty. The jury gave them 25 years’ imprisonment.
