The Loeb-Leopold case was one of the most fascinating and sensational trials of the twentieth century, later dramatized by Hitchcock in his classic thriller Rope (1948). On May 21, 1924, Nathan Leopold and Richard Loeb confessed to the thrill killing of fourteen-year-old Bobby Franks. Clarence Darrow led their defense team. Robert Crowe, the prosecutor, was an equally skillful adversary, but Darrow ultimately saved the two from the electric chair. This account focuses on the prosecution with excerpts from Crowe's opening address and his complete closing argument, including objections by Darrow and subsequent brief exchanges.
