Leopold& Loeb - A Critical Clue

NathanLeopold had been suffering from headaches, so he visited an optometrist namedEmil Deutsch at 30 North Michigan Avenue, who prescribed a pair of readingglasses for him. Leopold purchased theglasses, which had a patented hinge connecting the earpiece and thenosepiece. The New York Company thatmanufactured the hinge had only one Chicago distributor - Almer Coe & Co.Investigators linked the glasses found at the crime scene to Leopold becauseAlmer Coe & Co.\'s records indicated that it had sold only three pairs ofthe glasses with the patented hinge.Coincidentally, another pair was purchased by Jerome Frank, who in 1953denied the final pleas of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg for a stay of theirexecutions.

Richard Loebwas Leopold\'s partner in the murder of Bobby Franks.
