Advertisement

Dr. Sigmund Freud, the famous psycho-analyst, was offered a great sum of money by the Hearst newspaper syndicate to come to America for the purpose of psycho-analyzing Nathan Leopold, Jr. and Richard Loeh, the Chicago youths who confessed to the murder of Robert Franks.

Prof. Freud refused, however, to accept this offer on account of his ill health. He is reported to be suffering from cancer of the mouth.
