Page:The plea of Clarence Darrow, August 22nd, 23rd & 25th, MCMXXIII, in defense of Richard Loeb and Nathan Leopold, Jr., on trial for murder.djvu/122

 "Where is it?"

"I think I have it."

"Let me see it."

"Yes."

There was not a word or a syllable upon that paper.

"Did you make any other?"

"Yes."

"When did you make it?"

"Within two or three days of the occurrence."

"Let me see that."

He said he would bring it back later.

"Did you make another?"

"Yes."

"What was it?"

"A complete report to the chief of police."

"Is it in there?"

"I think so."

"Will you bring that?"

"Yes."

He brought them both into this court. They contained, all these reports, a complete or almost a complete copy of everything that happened, but not one word on this subject. He deliberately said that he made that record within a few days of the time it occurred, and that he told the office about it within a few days of the time it occurred. And then what did he say? Then he came back in answer to my cross examination, and said that he never told Judge Crowe about it until the night before Judge Crowe made his opening statement in this case. Six weeks after he heard it, long after the time he said that he made a record of it, and there was not a single word or syllable about this matter in any report he made.

I am sorry to discuss it; I am sorry to embarrass this
