Item description from seller

A Sensational Thrill Killing Dramatized by Hitchcock [Loeb-Leopold Case]. Crowe, Robert E. [1879-1958]. Arguments of State's Attorney Robert E. Crowe In Behalf of the People In the Case of The People of the State of Illinois vs. Nathan F. Leopold, Jr., And Richard A. Loeb. [Chicago?: S.n., 1924?]. 90 pp. Original art-deco styled blind-stamped front cover, patterned endpapers. Moderate rubbing to extremities, corners bumped, rear hinge starting at head, early ownership inscription (of Gertrude M. Chadima, St. Paul, Minnesota) to front free endpaper. Light toning to interior, light soiling to a few leaves, a few, mostly partial, cracks to text block, all leaves secure, brief early pencil annotation to head of title page. An attractive copy. $450. * First and only edition. 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. OCLC locates 11 copies of this title, 2 in law libraries (Harvard, University of Minnesota). Not in Hunsberger.
