statement: II have said all along that /
threw my wife into the river and say so
now. When / threw her in she had ear
rings in her ears. i cannot describe them
and don't know whether they were drop set
or otherwise; she a gold band en-
bossed ring on the third finger Of her left
hand, black stockings with white feet and
a red and white striped flannel nightgown
when put her i'm the box and threw her in
the river, and that's all L know about it.
Further details from New Albany of the
finding of the body in the river there show
that it is without doubt the body of Mrs.
Hannah Goddard Knapp. The jewelry and
stockings found on the body were described
to Knapp and Goddard, an uncle of the
dead woman. and they both declared they
were those of Mrs. Hannah Goddard Knapp.
Goddard stated that he presented Mrs.
Knapp with the ring several months be-
fore she was, murdered, and confirmed the
statement that it was an embossed gold
ring with three small birds and an owl on
it. He also stated that she wore gold ear
rings and that she had a sore on her right
ankle caused by an injury short time be-
fore her death. Goddard stated he will
leave for New Albany tomorrow morning.

is by use of the surgeons knife II that
were indeed the only way I for one should
be in favor of it But 1t is not the only nor
the best way. II has been proved over and
over again that IL is quite possible to care
for the degenerates humanely. safely and
at a minimum cost to the taxpayer, without
tion. II is by the method OF segregation in
industrial communities, away from the
outer world, that the state control. which
Is the Iced or degenerates, can be properly
and economically exercised. We have at
present in our institution at least one imbe-
cile. whose tendency, could ii be given full
vent and be directed by mind little
brighter than the one he now has, would
probably result in crimes horrible as
anything on record. The identical form or
psycopathy which animated Jack the Rip
per is possessed by this boy. Here he Is
not only safely under control, but he Is
valuable worker. We have another whose
tendencies are to arson. Shortly before we
received him he had set four or five barns
on fire in the town in which he lived. He
is as able-bodied as the other one referred
TO. but has an incurable aversion for labor
"a rare trait among our inmates. most of
whom enjoy work and are happiest when
busy.
How many of our male inmates would
develop into great criminals if at large we
do not, of course. know. We are reasona-
bly, sure that very few of the females would
escape degradation and probably mother
hood. Not that their passions are greater
than those of normal girls, but that their
self-control is absent, as is their lack of the
saving grace of common sense.
II believe that the public at large is just
waking up To the fact of degeneracy and
the possibility of controlling it's results, and
that in a few years a larger proportion of
the idiots and imbecies will be under state
care, as there is now of the insane. Speak
ing generally, only state care and control
are adequate to the need that the degener-
ates manifest. At the present time only
about Is. or, perhaps, 20 per cent, of the
whole number of the feeble-minded and idi-
OTIS of the United States are under proper
control, while of the insane about f75 TO 50
per cent. of the whole number are in the
States care"
