stories who familiar with the French proceed
ure, will understand its scope and it's method. 1t
is never employed unless direct evidence is lack
ing. 1t is vital necessity to the Police Depart
ment in the detection of crime. But it involves
peculiarly many questions as to the rights of the
individual and is often denounced by the press and
criticized by the public in way which only
to show prevailing ignorance of its necessity and
its character.
Personally, 1 believe in it, because l believe in
the conviction of the guilty And yet, l would
prefer that countless guilty people should escape
rather than innocent person should suffer.
Whatever may be said about the in1exb1e laws
of justice and the Overriding Providence that
brings the guilty to punishment, experience shows
that the must be made by the Police De-
partment. The regulations of a score of great
criminal lawyers have been made in the district
attorneys office by patient, thoughtful and per-
sistently unrecognized work by members of the
detective staff at the central office And in order
that all unnecessary romance and prejudice shall
be removed from considering the Third Degree"
it seems desirable that the public should under
stand exactly what it is and what it is not
The Third Degree" may be defined as any
method by which you reach a mans mind
through his imagination. Each that comes
before the chief of the detective bureau requires
treatment different from any other In nearly all
cases. however, the first proceeding might be called
THE Sympathetic Talk" 1t consists in making
friend of the prisoner getting him to talk freely
him to lay bare his real nature and, as happens in
nearly all cases, uncover many facts, to him
important, which may be of the greatest value in
establishing his guilt innocence
Even in cases wherein it fails to elicit the exact
information desired, some feature of the crime
always is learned from this mental play. l was
greatly helped in the search for truth by such talks
with prisoners. My first step generally to
arouse their sympathies and to awaken their con-
sciences to sense of guilt The most hardened
criminal always has remnants of a conscience
left; the lack of it to reawaken all the
stronger when it is invoked
Often the prisoner would lay bare his whole
crime before he realized what he had done He was
generally brought directly to upon his arrest,
and we sat down alone to talk over his case. l
always manifested such interest in his trouble that
the prisoner thought it exceptional condescenson
my part. | treated the offense lightly as some
thing that might, happen to anybody. l avoided
any censure accusation. To come out and
accuse man. before you have any evidence, is to

brace himself for defense; he will deny and steel
himself to support the denial l rarely gave him
such opportunity. We talked about all manner
of subjects; and the would chatter away,
rather glad to feel that he treated Familiarity
but he always at a grave disadvantage, because
he thinking solely of his crimes and wondering
why did not come to the point As the talk went
on the character of the arrested man developed,
especially all his weak points Presently the fellow
became putty in the hands of adroit examiner.
One of the last experiences of my career at head
quarters will illustrate this first step in the Third
Degree A stod German, under arrest for
the murder of janitor and fellow countrynan
who had taken pity his poverty and given him
shelter, was brought to the office. He had been
caught pawning of the trinkets of the muir
dered man, and his presence in the janitors apart
ment the night of the murder had been estab-
Ished; but that was not enough. The crime was
one of the coarsest brutality, and l had no more
sympathy tor the scOundrel who committed it than
for snake; but the important question to decide
was whether the murderer the under
arrest 1t just important to establish his
innocence or his partial innocence, his guilt. If
guilty, as l believed him, he knew that fact and
would think of nothing else.
So, led his mind back to Germany where he was
born, back to his schoolmates and his sweethearts
back to his old mother in the kitchen and the old
father by the freside with his porceain-b bowl pipe
himself so far from the crime that was uppermost
in his mind. But over there in Germany he had to
stay and think and recoect, and call up mental
pictures of the scenery and the and the gardens
and companions that had once been so dear to him
but were separated by the unfathomable gulf
of loathsome crime. His heart began to melt
and his sympathies swelled under the glow of the
kindly interest that he assumed me to feel Not a
reference had been made to the crime for which he
was in custody, remember. He had not been made
acquainted with the charge against him
When the magic moment came | laid my hand
on his shoulder and said: " But old fellow, you
in a bad plight now
Still no reference to the crime; but, pliable and
melted like wax, he told every horrid detail of the
murder, as child might confess petty fault
to his parent.
1t will thus be that the Third Degree" is
always duel mental fencing match between the
criminal and the detective. And as the best ex-
PLANTATION of any abstruse problem is by example,

-Ihe annual picnic OF the
Iowans transpired in Avery's grove
on Marys River Thursday. The
occasion was even more felicitous
than the several that have preceded
it. More than 800 people were in
attendance, and the whole scene
was one of concord and amiability.
The invitations were general and
the affair in no sense limited to
Iowa people, though most of those
present were former residents of the
latter state. Besides basket din

U. S. soldiers who served in Cuba dur
ing the Spanish war know what this dis
ease is, and that ordinary remedies have
little more effect than so much water.
Cuban Diarrhoea is almost as severe and
dangerous as mild attack of cholera.
There is one remedy, however, that can
always be depended upon as will be seen
by the following certificate from Mrs.
Minnie Jacobs of Houston, Texas: 81
hereby certify that Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy cured
my husband of severe attack of Cuban
Diarrhoea, which he brought home from
Cuba. We had several doctors but they
did him no good. One bottle of this rem
edy cured him, as our neighbors will tes-

night as Elder X. G. Russell explained

speaker quoted number of texts to
prove that the prophecies-especially
those af the book of Daniel and the
OC duu
that they are TO be made clear and
plain as we near the close of time The
past, present and future of our own
country it is claimed by Elder Russell
is clearly portrayed in the Bible and
events of the deepest interest and i'm
portance are soon to take place in our
nation. On Thursday afternoon one
of the most remarkable reyivals ever
held in this part of the state took
place at the camp grounds. There
was large congregation present and
after the usual sermon it was evident
that a power which was more than
human was at work amor e the camp
ers. Without any excitement, but
with deep feeling, parents asked
prayers for their children and children
for parents. A good number made a
start in the Christian life while many
confessed their faults and said they
would put them away. The meeting

the best they ever attended.
