Whoa, wait a minute. I'm sure it's not these two that FZ meant by "Loeb &
Leopold". The L & L that Frank meant were what he called "an incredibly
lifelike simulation" who were rather conspicuous patrons of the Mothers'
Garrick Theatre shows in 1967 and 1968. You can read about them on page 96
of "The Real Frank Zappa Book".
By the way, the original Leopold and Loeb affair occurred around 1924 and
they weren't executed; they were sentenced to life in prison. Loeb was
murdered by a fellow inmate, and Leopold was released on parole after serving
34 years.
Just trying to help in my poor weak way. :)

In addition to the other descriptions, he's the "snork master", whose
snorking shows up on WOIIFTM and elsewhere.

Is this the character featured in those early productions by FZ that were
released on a collection I saw mentioned here -- "Letter to Jeepers" (or
something) and another one?

Actually, S&V were Anarchists, and they were executed in 1927. Perhaps
you were thinking of the Rosenbergs?

No, two murderers, either in the 20's or 30's, usually identified as Leopold
and Loeb.
> >Eberhard Kronhausen
> 20th Century composer.
You are thinking of Karlheinz Stockhausen. Kronhausen was a sex researcher or
therapist.

These were two college chums who killed a friend for the thrill of killing. In
the '30's, it was understanably a show trial, with Clanrance Darrow for the defense.
Basis of Hitchcock's "Rope".

Italian immigrants falsely convicted and executed for the murder of a teenage girl,

magazine - they were/are trying to do this same thing; I don't
think they have many names left. I'll try to find the list of
names they don't have....
Loeb and Leopold are the names of 2 MOI fans (well, that's what
they called themselves)...

Nope! Leopold & Loeb (as it is usually pronounced) were two
thrill-killing teenage kids. The movie COMPULSION is a fictionalized
account of their crime.
