The couple settled in the Kenwood neighborhood on Chicago's south side and had four sons: Allan, Ernest, Richard, and Thomas.
Lederer, who maintained a personal friendship with the Cook County District Attorney, requested on Loeb's behalf that the D.A.
[6] Albert Loeb had suffered an initial heart attack a few days before the murder of Bobby Franks and remained in poor health.
During his enforced absence Loeb's brother Jacob and eldest son Allan represented the family, attending the court hearings while liaising with Darrow and other involved parties.
[7] The elder Loeb made a partial recovery at Charlevoix and returned to Chicago shortly after the conclusion of the trial.
However he died of a second heart attack on October 28, 1924, less than two months after his son Richard was sentenced to life plus ninety-nine years on September 10.
