The Confession 招供
"Richard Loeb had bent over in his chair. He started at his feet and made a slight rocking movement, back and forth, back and forth, as Crowe continued to talk. Now Richard sat up straight; the tears were streaming down his cheeks; he cried out his terror at having been caught,' My God... My God...this is terrible...'
There was silence in the room. Crowe waited. The deputies at Crowe's side held their breath in anticipation as they stared at Richard, waiting for him to admit his guilt.
'I will tell you all,' Richard suddenly announced.
...
Nathan had stopped smirking. His cockiness had disappeared. Eventually he spoke. His voice was subdued, quiet, almost ruminative. ' Well, I am surprised that Dick is talking.' Nathan spoke reflectively, as though he were musing to himself. ' I thought he would stand till hell froze over.' "
