KILLING DEGENERATES.

A boy was hanged in Connecticut on Friday
last for an atrocous murder committed when he
was sixteen years of age. He worthless
boy. is perhaps better dead than alive. and
there is no reason to indulge in any feelings
of pity for him. But his execution suggests
an important question of criminology. Should
the State undertake the determination of mis-
born human pests? And, if so. why wait till
they have done their evil work? There
those who think the scientific development of
the race calls for the extinction of the idiotic
the insane, the morally and physically deformed
who are predestined to be useless to themselves
and burden to the world. If that theory is TO
prevail then the killing Of this misbegotten
youth was in order, but too late.
All accounts seem to agree that he was born
to evil as the sparks fly upward. His family
history, as compiled by DR.. Charles E. Rowell,
of Stamford. and not overthrown by the prose
cution is as follows:
The mother was drunken prostitute an cpl
leptic weak minded, subject to furious fits Of
passion: had tried to murder her husband. and
died drunk in the streets.
The grandmother and aunts the mothers
side were all epileptics, all drunkards. and all
prostitutes.
The grandfather on the mothers side died in
an insane asylum and a brother of the mother
died raving crazy.
The father epileptic, drunkard, weak
minded
The fathers brother was an epileptic. a -.
and weak minded.
The grandfather on the fathers side was sub
ject to epilepsy.
The boy himself was untruthful, of cruel dis
position and depraved habits almost from baby
hood. There was difference of opinion as TO
his responsibility and knowledge of the charac-
ter of his deed. Four general practitioners
thought him responsible, while general
practitioner and two experts thought otherwise
There does seem little reason to doubt. how
ever that he had by inheritance in an eXtraor-
binary degree a predsposition to crime of vio-
lence and sexual passion such as he finally
committed And from his childhood no effort
was made to overcome this tendency. He
seems to have been a hopeless degenerate,
whose killing was not punishment, but simply
removal Perhaps that is better for him and for
society than lifelong confinement with scant pos
sibility Of reformation. But as the last word Of
nineteenth century civilizatio as to the treat
ment of the product of its own vice it seems an
impotent conclusion. The moral law Is clear
enough to most men for them to pay the pen
atty of their evil deeds, and their doing so Is
good tonic for society. But the community
which nurses generations of degenerates and
leaves the criminal and the insane to bring up
children to a life of crime and insanity does not
solve its problem by killing the evil offspring of
its own nurture after they have killed others.

But this week there more than thousand
