Leopold and Loeb murder research note

In the 1990’s is was introduced to Admand Deutsch, a B movie producer of 1940’s films, by my boss Robert E Petersen of Petersen Publishing note. I was the editor of SPORT magazine and Mr Deutsch told me a story at one of our lunches about his time in the Army promoting events to support the war effort.

Mr Deutsch was also writing a book at that time. Center to the book’s content was concerning his life in the early 1920s as a student at the Harvard School in Chicago. He told me of the Leopold and Loeb murders (I had not heard of them to that point) and how he was the original target of the murderers. He stated that he was saved when his driver picked him on his walk home to to take him to the dentist that day - so he was not where the murderers had planned grab him and instead picked up young Franks. Deutsch was their prime target since was was grandson of Sears CEO Julius Rosenwald

Mr Deutsch died in 2005 but somewhere I have a signed copy of his book.

Just passing this along
