HE MURDERED HIMSELF"
By Julian Hawthorne.
{ In New York Journal.

When the trained nurse, Miss Koten, shot
the physician, DR.. Auspitz, she made the
rather unusual statement, in such circum-
stances, that she murdered himself" She
probably meant that his conduct toward her
merited death, and that she had merely carried
out the behest Of the unwritten law.
A more deliberate killing was never done,
but he had ruined her and prevented her
marriage with a man who had been her suitor;
and she had brooded over the matter until she
was in an abnormal state Of mind.
There was no legal way of furnishing the
man, any way Of rehabiitating herself.
When previously she had attempted to bring
him to account for his conduct, he had attack
ed her reputation by way Of defending himself.
She was an outcast and she saw him con-
tinuing a successful career, and if what has
been said of him be true, she was not his first
victim, nor likely to be his last. This is the
kind of situation that brings despair and
vengeance.

A Significant Phrase.

had a significance which Miss Koten her
self may not have attached to it.
DR.. Auspitz appears to have come hither
from Buda-Pesth eight years ago. That local
ity countenances looseness of moral conduct
between men and women which does not OBJ
tain here.
Dr. Auspitz, Judging from his photograph
IN the papers, was a handsome young fellow
and doubtless had the agreeable and insinuat-
ing manners of an educated foreigner If he
had originally any reference for woman's
purity, his studies in physiology and medicine
would not seem to have fortified it-they
would be more likely to lessen it.
With the nobler type Of physician a woman
is as safe with her own mother but there
are many facile materialists and cheap sceptics
In the profession who consider women fair
game, and who take advantage Of their OPP
portunlties to play havoc with them.
Lacking in Moral Sense
DR.. Auspitz is described as having been
popular, but unless he has been maligned he
brought with him from his native place a
total disregard for the moral responsibilities
Of his position.
In other words, to take up the phrase used
by the woman who killed him, he had muir
dered something in himself which involved his
moral stature and value. The soul in him
was dead; only the animal body, with its
characteristic life and propensities, remain.
With respect to his relations with women
he had become no better than a beast and
deserved no more consideration than one He
had destroyed the "high instincts,' as Words
worth called them, ''before which our moral
nature doth tremble like a guilty thing sur
prised.'' He had closed the doors of access
to the loftier regions of his being and had
taken up his abode in the lower, corporal
chambers.
He had murdered himself-his better self,
which alone renders man fit to take part in
the human existence around him. And there
fore he had forfeited the protection
which honor and true manhood throw about
a mana very real and efficient protection,
which eXerts its chief influence, though DR..
Auspitz himself might have ridiculed this
statement, not on the material but on the
spiritual, plane.
Sealed His Death Warrant.
He had liberated IN others evil passions
against which no armor existed in himself.
1t is strnge to read how he hesitated, on the
last day of his life, as to whether or not he
should respond to the supposed professional
call which summoned him to a patient. He
decided to answer it, and thereby signed his
own warrant of death.
Miss Koten will stand her trial. and per-

But HOW will civilized society teach this
lesson to Sarah Koten?
Will it initiate Sarah Koten and murder her,
'legally?'
Probably not. We hope not.
Sarah Koten, ignorant, friendless and despe-
rate, did blindly and; if you like, brutally,
the only thing that occurred to her. She
killed the man.
Society is NOT ignorant or desperate. What
will society do to Sarah Koten? What do
YOU think that society ought to do?
How much does society owe to it's own
dignity, and how much does it owe TO THAT
UNBORN CHILD, THE CHILD THAT HAS
BROKEN NO LAW? Is that child always to
remember mother that lived in prison, or
that died as criminal in prison, killed by the
law?
It is very interesting, clear-cut case. We
are inclined to think that it will be rather
hard to find twelve men to listen to Sarah
Koten and then treat her very harshly.
A few earnest words from judge, chance
to begin over again, chance TO BRING UP
THAT CHILD AND DO HER DUTY BY IT,
WOULD, IN OUR OPINION, BE ABOUT
THE RIGHT SOLUTION OF THE PROB
LEM. Somehow, while the majesty of the
law should always be fearful in mems eyes.
it would seem a little ridiculous to say to
Sarah Koten: ''You have revenged yourself
for the worst possible injury by killing a
human being, and to set you good example

SELVES FOR A RELATIVELY SLIGHT
INJURY, BY KILLING YOU. New York

Will Society Now Murder the WOMAN?

Will Society Now Murder the WOMAN?
Sarah Koten, a stranger in America, a
friendless girl, was betrayed by a doctor
Auspitz, who employed her as a nurse.
The girl, who is to become a mother in a
few weeks, killed the man, and said when
arrested FThe man killed himself"
On the last column Of this page the case Of
Sarah Koten is discussed by Julian Haw-
thorne. These that remember "The Scarlet
Letter" written by Julius Hawthorne s great
father, will be doubly interested in the
thoughtful writing Of the son, which we pub
fish today
With Julian Hawthorne millions of citizens
will discuss this case Of the friendless girl and
the man she killed.
She told a great truth when she said that
the man "killed himself
She explained to the policeman that as the
treated her so badly killing him was
inevitable, and therefore che killed HIMSELF
Her statement is true in another and broader
sense
DR.. Auspitz killed himself because he re-
moved himself from the protection Of laws
built up slowly through centuries.
His crime was infinitely greater than the
crime which the friendless girl committed,
prompted by revenge and despair.
For many dark centuries human beings were
all more or less Of the Dr. Auspitz and Sarah
Koten kind. The men did all the harm they
could and women, abused, defenseless, got
revenge when they could That condition
has gradually changed. Murder has been
abandoned and punishment by law substituted
Combats between enemies in the presence Of
judge has been abandoned and deliberate hear
ing by jury substituted.
Occasionally, however, the new laws are
forgotten and the old law of violence on one
side and revenge on the other comes back.
This is such a case.
The law says to Sarah Koten, "You must
not kill, ~ but it also said to DR.. Auspitz,
"YOU MUST NOT DESTROY" The man
punished aside the laws.
If his spirit could come back it would have
no just complaint to make. He truly "mur-
dered himself" when he put himself outside
Of the laws protection.
This does not justify the woman, however,
and it is not intended to justify her. The
man she killed is not to be pitied. No man can
speak a word in his defense No man would
wish him back alive.
The woman DID commit a crime-not
against the man, but against society. She
committed a crime against law, against the
efforts of GOOD PEOPLE, the people that
are trying to do away with murder permanent

BURT HUDSON WON.
He Defeated COnl<le in Fast and
Furious Contest.

Columbia, Feb. 29.-The wrestling
fans came from the four quarters of
the State yesterday to witness the
match between Burt Hudson and
Charles Conkle and they were delight
ed beyond expression. Hudson was
the victor, but he won after the east-
est. most furious and most sp.t tacu :
lar match ever witnessed in Columbia
or possibly the South.
There was not dull moment from
the time the men went together until
the referee called Conkle out for tn.
second fall ard the house was lit
orally wild with enthusiasm through
out the clover and hard fought con-
test. Hudson was never seen in bet
ter trim and Conkle was there with
the goods. He il beyond doubt one
OF the worlds greatest wrestlers, sci
entific and fast. Hudson had no pic
mic putting his shoulders to the mat
and more than once the willy and
clever Canadian iwelterweight got out
OF holds which looked impossible to
break.
The theatre was crowded almost to
capacity, more than 1,45O people he
ing crowded into it. 1t was simply
the greatest match ever witnessed
-
here and the exhibition was so grand
that even Conkle admirers had not
the least kick because Of his losing.
The time Of the first fall was 40
minutes; the second fall 20 minutes
and 15 seconds.

SHAH OF PERSIA BOMBARDED.
Persian Ruler Owes His Life to :
Ruse.

Teheran, Persia, Feb. 28.-An at
tempt was made in this city this af-
ternoon to assassinate the Shah OF
Persia by a bomb. His majesty was
not hurt. Three Of the outriders who
were accompanying him at the time
were killed.
The Shah owes his escape to the
precautions taken to protect him from
just such an attempt. He was on his
way to a nearby town. where he in
tended to pass few days. The pro-
cession had left the palace. and was
traversing a narrow street. when two
bombs were hurled down at it from
the roof of 4 house. noe exploded
In the air. but the other struck the
ground near the Shah's automobile.
This missile In exploding killed the
three outriders. wounded the chauf-
feurf and score CT bystanders and
shattered the vehicle. The Shah,
however, was not in the automobile.
He had taken the precaution to send
the motor car on ahead and ride HIM
self In q carriage further In the rear
Of the procession. The motor car was
a closed one and 1t was thought the
sovereign was inside.
