DOCTOR F. R. FRY SAYS
HARRINGTON SHOWS NO
SIGNS OF DEGENERACY

Doctor Frank X. Fry. physician. neurolo-
Sist and alienist- after a alf-hours ex-
animation. yesterday afternoon. of photo
graphs of F. Seymour harrington. furnished
by the Bertillon system, declared that the
man charged with the murder OF James p.
Mccain was absolutely free. in photograp h,
from any anatomical stignita.
cannot pick out one degenerate fea-
ture," declared Doctor Fry, after he had
scrutlnized Barrington's likeness thorough
ly. He has good head-a remarkably
good head His ear is little large. but
nicely set-better, in fact. than yours OF
mine. One will notice it does not connect
with the head at the lobe, which is always
sure sign Of degeneracy.
"Barrington's face denotes character"
continued Doctor Fry. although, from
what 1 have read of his deeds in England
and st. Louis. this is the one trait he never
possessed.
He Is without doubt a rare case. Many
of our most respected and highly educated
citizens bear many marks of deseneracy,
while. on the other hand, persons who have
been raised in the slums and have been en-
gagged in criminal practices since childhood
have entirely escaped anatomical stigmita.
harrington is evidently one of the latter
class. and still he may have many degener-
ate signs upon other parts of his body.
''Barrington's face denotes tenacity. reso.
luton, persistency.
His photograph shows good eye. This
does not prove anything. though. in any
case. An eye must be seen under difreren,
| conditions. Barringtons eyes may be
| treacherous, but treachery does not show
here"
