The Third Degree.

So much has been said lately about tn,
third degree" or sweating process" il
criminal matters that popular interest ha
been aroused and there have been man,
inquiries as to the nature of this process
Inspector Byrnes, who was at the heat
of the police department of New Yorl
city, was the most successful official will
the sweating process. Whether he wal
the originator of it we are not clear
but think he was. His method was te
have criminals brought before him and al
low them to sit for hours in the presence
OF evidence of the crime they had com
mitted and not allow them to speak or be
spoken to. They would actually sweat
and finally confess.
Jacob Riis, in his book 1.-The Making of
an American. gives two stories of Byrnes'
methods. In one case-that of murder
the suspect was put in cell by himself
and was fed by unseen hands for several
days. Then he was led upstairs, by tor
tuous passage, through articles connected
with the murder, to the Office of the in
spector. There he was directed to take a
seat on lounge, which happened to be
the one on which the crime had been com
mitted and was spattered with the blood
of the victim. With shrek of despair
the prisoner confessed his crime.
In another murder case all efforts to get
a confession proved unavailing, the pris-
oner stoutly maintaining his innocence.
The inspector finally had the man placed
in position where he could see all that
was going on in a yard below. The first
sight was that of one of his "pals" being
led in by policeman and locked in cell
Soon after another was taken in. The sus.
pect turned to the inspector with look
of inquiry in his eyes, and the official mere
ly said, Eyes, both have squealed." The
prisoner, thinking everything known, con
fessed the entire crime
Sweating" to day, in many places, il
not conducted with the same amount
of fairness that has existed. To get infor
nation by any means is the determination
of officers. To drag confessions by simply
appealing to their feelings and allowing
the statements to come with freedom from
the prisoner is not adhered to- Too often
the prisoner is ll-dozed. threatened, and
even dubbed in order TO get him to &C,
knowledge something he is suspected
of doing In the case of johnson it is said
he was beaten by an officer who threat.
ened to kill him if che did not confess. y
That may be all right, but it only confirms
the idea formed by many people. never to
convict prisoner on the unsupported ties
timony Of detective.

Everyone who has ever seen an AIDE
comedy knows that it fairly reeks in types
of odd humanity that are to be seen about
us every day, but which prior to the ad-
vent of Mr.. AIDE, have never been seen on
the stage. In "Just Out of College" in
which Charles Frohman presents his
youngest star. Joseph Wheelock, Jr, at
the Chestnut Street Theatre, Philadelphia,
for two weeks begi ming Monday, March
5, another and highly amusing group OF
these quaint characters are to be seen.
This time Mr.. AIDE has made use o. his
satirical gift which may be regarded as
AIDE trademark, to put on the griddle the
college youth. Edward Worthingtor
Swimmer, just graduated from his aims

Portable superiority of himself according
to Swinger. Mrs. Pickering, the strong
minded wife of the pickle king, however
has different views for her daughter, anC
she appears on the scene with anothe
candidate. a mush and milk young person
of leisure. The pickle king likes Swing
er the better of the two.
After weighing the two men, Pickering
hands Swinger check for 800, 900 and in
structs him to go away for three months

BOB ATKINsoN's CONDITION.

Many inquiries were made today as
to the condition of Bob Atkinson who
received a nasty scalp wound on sun
day by striking his head on coral while
diving. Contrary to advice he insisted
on going to his office yesterday but the
strain was too much and he had to go
home again. Last night he slept well
and today was better but is still con-
fined to his room. Dr. Humphris is in
attendances. The only danger is from
coral poisoning and the wound is in
good condition, thanks to the young
mans splendid physical qualities.
