mercy had been urgently sought.
A pathetic appeal was made yester-
day for Rife by Rev. Mr.. Ryan, nation

On several occasions he saw the ap-
paratus in passing through the cham
Der and examined it with profession

Frequently he cheered Harry Crooks
who was executed last October, with
descriptions of the rapidity of the
death current, assuring him that the
end would be painless.
1t was with this knowledge of the
mercifulness of his own end that he
stepped through the little door at mid
night. Once before he eluded the
searching spirit of the whirring dyna-
mo, but he knew last night that it
would never again release him in life.

Philadelphia Man Says There
Are Times When It's
Best to Stay.
ANOTHER GIVES HIS o. K,
A HARVARD PROFESSOR DE-
CLARES THAT ALL INCURABLE
PEOPLE, FOR socIETY's sENE-
FIT, SHOULD DIE.

Philadelphia. Pa, Jan. 19.-Dr. Ed
ward A. Spitzka. brain specialist of
the Jefferson Medical college, declar-
ed at a meeting of the Protestant
Episcopal Slerical brotherhood that
murder and suicide are at times JUS
tifiable.'
His assertion. which caused sen.
sation, was made in reply to questions
put by clergyman after listening to
an address by DR.. Spitzka-
There are times when murder, and
even suicide, appeal to a normal mind
as justifiable, breaking no law, and
perhaps as the only human way out of
horrible situation" said DR.. Spitzka.
Take, for instance soldier who is
to be hanged as a spy or mutilated
by barbarous foe. He knows there
is no escape and, armed with a weap-
on, kills himself. I think his case is
justifiable suicide.
Physician Has Hard Problem.
''Now. in answer to the other ques-
ton. Is the taking or ending of a
human life ever justified? Aside from
legal homicide. such as an electrocu-
ton, the physician sometimes is con-
fronted with the problem of saving
human being uncomfortable torture
by giving a grain of morphine.
Take railroad accident. The ply
stefan is face to face with a human
being penned under a train and suf-
fering agony. One grain of morphine
will end it all. 1t is not uncommon
for a physician to have to face this
situation and l will say that under
some circumstances he is justified in
using his Judgment and giving relief
in the semblance of death to the suf-
ferer.'
Another statement of the physician.
that fathers more than so years old
produce the most moral and religious
children. caused the clergymen to
gasp.
Children of fathers less than 80
years old usually are cyclists, military
and aggressive" he said. Those born
of fathers between 40 and so years
are philosophers and thinkers. but the
finest moralists. religious teachers,
and philanthropists, such as Benjamin
Franklin, were born after the fathers
had reached the age of so years."
