Bride Held for Poisoning.

Mrs. James Scroggins, bride of three
weeks and but 10 yenrs old, was arrest
ed at Waterloo on the charge of attempt
ing the life of her 65-year-old husband by
administering po;son to him In his food.
1t is alleged Scroggins came home to
supper at the usual hour. He had eaten
but little and had drunk cup of ten
when he was seized with severe pains
which were followed by purging and vom-
iting. A physician was called. who at
once pronounced it us n case of poisoning,
the symptoms being those of strychnine.
Officers were informed of the affair and
set on foot an investigation. According
to the best information obtainable the
honeymoon of the couple has been n
stormy one. 1t is alleged that the wife
had made threats against her husbands
life and these will doubtless be brought
forward to fix the responsibility for the
poisoning upon her. The defense will
probably endeavor to show that the dis
tress from which Scroggins suffered may
have been due to ptomaine poisoning.
Mrs. Scroggins had nothing to say after
the first outburst of grief following her
arrest, but declares her innocence of any
attempt on her husband.

reservoir In which is poured alike the
hardened criminal and the youthful
violator. Human nature is the same.
and the boys, with nothing but time at
their disposal, listen to the various
methods of house breakers, of the lat
est innovations in hold-ups, Of the
most successful means of performing
every act against which society has
laid Its mandates" This is not new
picture, but 1t Is true delineation
and may be duplicated in hundreds of
city prisons throughout this country.
Judge Babcock says Ohio is not ex-
ceptional in this particular. What a
fearful reckoning, then, for American
society of the future. But Judge Bah
cock has remedy. This is his pro-
posal: st is my belief that we have
no moral right to lock up boy with
out making him better. Education is
the remedy. At the bottom of 1t all
lies poverty MS cause, and too little
knowledge of our duty to our brothers.
My plan would be to put n teacher in
the county Jail whose business it
would be to teach the young men
something that would direct their
thoughts to better things. would
purchase library of good books and
place upon the authorities the RESPONSE
bility of seeing that the cllow-backed,
crime-reeking prints are thrown out.
Good books and more education will
do much toward making men from
those whose lines of life have begun
a divergence from the right course,
rather than making criminals from
those whose only offense is that they
have been unfortunate" This plan
was first suggested, according to the
Kansas City World, by Judge Wof-
ford, of Kansas City in an address last
winter. 1t is certainly practical and
is worth consideration. Society owes
it to itself to carry out in some way
the reformation Of the guilty, which
is the avowed purpose of the punish
ment of the criminal, and which under
the present system is failure. But
reforms move slowly and 1t may re-
quire some American Dickens to de-
pict the communicating influences of
Jail life before our society is moved to
action.
