Am. Inst. Crim. L. & Criminology 347 (May 1924 to February 1925) This Article is brought to you for free and open access by Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. It has been accepted for inclusion in Journal of Criminal Law and Criminology by an authorized editor of Northwestern University School of Law Scholarly Commons. THE LOEB-LEOPOLD MIURDER OF FRANKS IN CHICAGO, TMAY 21, 1924 [The kidnapping and murder of Robert Franks by Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, Jr., in Chicago, Illinois, on May 21, 1924, aroused worlc-wide interest-at first because of the contrast between the social status of the murderers and the callous cruelty of the deed, but afterwards because of the psychiatric testimony offered by the defense at the hearing for a mitigated sentence. The complete testimony taken fills a thousand or more typewrit- ten pages (the confessions alone, in the stenographic transcript, amount to three hundred pages); and the JOURNAL is not the place for printing this record. But criminologists everywhere are interested in the psychiatrists' reports, for this is probably the first instance of the offer of elaborate psychiatric analyses as the basis for remitting the law's penalty for a calculated, cold-blooded murder, committed by persons not claimed to be insane or defective in any degree recog- nized by the law as making them not legally responsible.

  • Elections in the Weimar Republic the Elections to the Constituent National
    HISTORICAL EXHIBITION PRESENTED BY THE GERMAN BUNDESTAG ____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Elections in the Weimar Republic The elections to the constituent National Assembly on 19 January 1919 were the first free and democratic national elections after the fall of the monarchy. For the first time, women had the right to vote and to stand for election. The MSPD and the Centre Party, together with the German Democratic Party, which belonged to the Liberal Left, won an absolute majority of seats in the Reichstag; these three parties formed the government known as the Weimar Coalition under the chancellorship of Philipp Scheidemann of the SPD. The left-wing Socialist USPD, on the other hand, which had campaigned for sweeping collectivisation measures and radical economic changes, derived no benefit from the unrest that had persisted since the start of the November revolution and was well beaten by the MSPD and the other mainstream parties. On 6 June 1920, the first Reichstag of the Weimar democracy was elected. The governing Weimar Coalition suffered heavy losses at the polls, losing 124 seats and thus its parliamentary majority, and had to surrender the reins of government. The slightly weakened Centre Party, whose vote was down by 2.3 percentage points, the decimated German Democratic Party, whose vote slumped by 10.3 percentage points, and the rejuvenated German People’s Party (DVP) of the Liberal Right, whose share of the vote increased by 9.5 percentage points, formed a minority government under the Centrist Konstantin Fehrenbach, a government tolerated by the severely weakened MSPD, which had seen its electoral support plummet by 16.2 percentage points.
