PRISONERS LODGED IN GAOL.
AN EXCITING EXPERIENCE.
Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright,
NEW YORK, September 11
If Leopold and Loeb, who arrived at the Illinois State Penitentiary, in Joliet, to-night to begin serving their life sentences, did nob secure the thrill they desired when they killed the youth Franks, they received it to-night. While being conveyed to the prison the automobile in which they were travelling swerved abruptly and then took a dive into the unballaster tracks of the electric railway. The car jrighted itself and bounced 50 yards down the track before it stopped. The boys were unhurt, though they wore badly jarred. When he entered the prison Loeb remarked: “This is not such a bad place.’’— Reuter.
