Criminal establishments,

The New York papers generally
discredit the story OF Irving, the San
Francisco sailor, who claims the dis
tinction of having participated in the
murder of Nathan some years since.
The World says his STANDARDIZATION

question of the value of such comics.
sions when unsupported by other evil
dence.
The general reader is perhaps IN.
aware how frequently, in all ages and
in all countries, persons have accused
themselves of crimes whereof they
were subsequently proven to be en-
tirelv innocent so frequently that
many physicians are inclined, a priori.
to regard self,accusation of this kind
a. asymptom of mental unsoundness,
. hallucination to which no credence
should be given unless it be corrobor-
ated by irrefragi BILE testimony from
other sources. Not to speak Of the
times long past, when scores Of un-
fortunatss fell victims to their insane
ayowals of sorcerv and witchcraft. 1t
is eve o a matter of common eX-
perience that nearly every mysteri-
Gus crime Of any note brings forth
several half-witted claimants for the
honor of its commission. And in this,
as in many other disordered, V
phenomena, the initiative faculty
seems to be unduly exalted so that
one false confession is apt to elicit in
rapid succession half a dozen others,
each more preposterous than the last,
just as in a company Of epileptics the
occurrence of a fit in one will pro-
woke the seizure of some Of his COM
panions, or the example of a hysteri-
cal paroxysm will send its infection

tai. In some c%ongested brains a NOR
bid craving for notoriety may prompt
the confession of an imaginary crime;
in other instances, a melancholic
brooding over a suggested illusion
until it becomes a fixed fact in the
disordered mind. In the graver
stages of m~elancholia a common de-
fusion is that of having committed
the objectionable sin mentioned in
Scripture, and from its incep-
ton up to this point the mala-
dy is characterized by various
gradations Of dependency, in
which a conviction of Grimm ,lity
preponderates. Our insane asylums
contain numerous patients who, with
logical sequence of details, accuse
themselves Of offenses which were
either never committed at all or we're
clearly shown to have been commit
ted by others. The World arrives at
the conclusion that Irving is more
crazy than criminal.
