CHAPERONES WANTED,
ITnlare Re~istar l

The Stockton li0iL suggests that crimes
like the murder Of two innocent girls in
San francisco may lead TO establishing
the chaperon system. 1t certainly ought
to lead to some system which viii give
those charged with the care OF girls more
knowledge of their dOings and acquaint-
ances. II Mrs. Noble has been correctly
reported she knew as little about Miss
Lannon's associates as did residents of
the next block. She claimed at first that
the girl had no male friends, but il has
transpired that she was very chummv
with young Durrant. The girl was in
her care, and it was her business to know
whatacquaintances and friends she made.
Miss Williams also seemed TO come and
go with no questions asked. Whether or
not chaperOn system is ever adopted in
this country, 1t Is plain that more care
aud watchfulness are needed.

The two girls who were murdered in
Emmanuel Church lost their lives
through lmprudenCe. One of them went
into room IN the church with man
in the evening. The room was not
ughted. She knew that the man lacked
uprlghtness OF character and had once
complained Of his conduct. A good de-
gree OF prudence and circumspection
would have suggested prompt refusal
OF any proposition TO enter an unlighted
room with man at s O'Clock in the
evening. Yet the evidence confirms the
theory that the girl did go in and
never came out. She did not anticipate
any wrong-doing. But even the fact that
she had entered an unlighted room in
that way would, ii publicity had been
given 20 the act, have gone lar to blight
her reputation.
The other girl who lost her life went
into room in the church with q man
under much the same circumstances,
she was student IN q normal school. In
going home after school she violated
rule OF propriety which had been made
for the conduct OF students. Young
women were not TO accept the companv
OF young men on leaving the rooms of the
school. This young woman ioIned man
IN waiting for her. She entered a room
III the same church, either by daylight or
after dark. The testimony is net clear on
LEat point. But she never came out of
the eGlflce she had entered. She trusted
her reputation and her life to a man from
over-confdence in his integri Y. This
Was All act OF fatal impruQence.

UNSUSPECTED MANIA.
ISeattle POst-IntelIipencer. 1

The murder Of the two girls in a San
Francisco church will probably become
one of the most famous IL the annals of
medical Jurisprudence. Not only will
the jury be called upon to determine
whether the assault which is assumed 10
have been made on the girls was perpe-
trated before or after death, but the sam
ity OF the accused must be determined.
In the former question there is little of
interest so far as the enormity of the
otIenso or the identity of the perpetrator
Is concerned. It's value is in helping to
arrive at judgment upon the mental con-
dltiOn of the accused.
From such scanty testimony as the
newspaper reports afford, it seems that
the accused has prediction toward
monomanla, even if it do not amount to
mental alienation. That ne is sane on
all other subjects is not proof of inno-
cence. Nor is his self-possession better
proof, for the cunning of maniacs in con-
cealIng tor time their alteration is a
well settled fact Monomania does not
always take vicious form.
