ST. Louis, April 1&-In the opinion
OF DIR. Ludwig Baemer, the eminent
criminologist, who has made . study
OF criminals and their Characteristics
for years, the man Holmes, who 50
calmly recited, last Sunday; the history
6f ~ murders he claims to have CONS
mitted, is most monumental and
phenomenal liar. It is also the opinion
Of DIR. Bremen that Holmes had an OBJ
ject In view in writing the confession,
beyond the price he was paid for it by
the newspapers
Holmes is undoubtedly = degener-
ate, said DIR. Bremen. ssThe physical
signs of deEeneracy he speaks of-th
malfofmation of his face, the shorten.
ing of his limbs, are common in in.
stiu6tive criminals. But he has an
6bject in mind in making public this
confession. In my opinion he is in
the hope that scientific men, consider
ing him in the light of master in
murder, will intercede for his life with
the governor OF Pennsylvania and
have his sentence commuted for the
purpose of placing him in some insane
asylum and making Pathological
study Of him"
