THIRTY IMPORTANT WORDS.

Id1HI4 WORDS.
~1ROENER was subjected to a Sc
we're cross examination, but he
r maintained ignorance of any
~ assault on the photographer
and Of the stolen boots Of K~ittredge.
He sneered contemptuously at Haute-
vile and Coquenil. The judge finally
had the guard put handouts on the
prisoner prior to ordering him to the
Sante prison. Now the accused show
ed furious anger.
'Mark my words, Judge Hauteville,"
he threatened fercely. 'you have or
dered handouts put on a prisoner for
the last time"
what do you meanW
But almost instantly Groener had
become calm again.
"Groener," demanded the magis-
trate ~impressively. 1--WE are coming to
an unpleasant part Of this examina-
ton. 1t is unpleasant because it
forces a guilty person to betray him
self and reveal more or less Of the
truth that he tries to hide"
The prisoner looked up incredulous-
~. "You say it forces him to betray
himself"
That's practically what it does"
"Why?"
Because II you are guilty we shall
know it and can go on confidently
looking for certain links now missing
in the chain Of evidence against you.
On the other hand, II you are limo
cent we shall know that, too. and If
you are innocent, Groener, here is your
chance to prove II. We make the nc
cused register his own guilt or his

you see how many seconds elapse be-
tween the two moments. Is that it,"
"That's it. only I have a watch that
marks the ffths of a second. Are you
willing to make the test?"
Suppose I refused"
The magistrates face hardened. eff

W innocence with his. own words"
whether he wishes to or not?"
The judge opened a leather portfolio
and selected several sheets of paper
ruled in squares. Then he took out
his watch.
ION these Sheets" he explained, IN.
Coquenil and l have written down
about a hundred words, simple, every
day words. most of them. such as
house. music tree baby that have
no particular significance. Among
these words, however, we have intro
duced thirty that have some associa-
ton with this crime. words like An
SONIA billiards. pistol 1 shall speak
these words slowly. one by one. and
when l speak a word l want you to
speak another word that my word sug-
gests. For example. if L say tree you
might say GARDEN if I say house
you might say chair Of course you
are free to say any word you please.
but you will find yourself irresistibly
drawn toward certain M according
as you are innocent or guilty.
"For instance, Martinez, the Span
lard. was widely known as a billiard
player. Now. if 1 should say billiard
player and you had no personal feel
ing about Martinez you might easily.
by association Of ideas, say Span
lard but if you had killed Martinez
and wished to conceal your crime
then when l said billiard player you
would not say 'Spaniard,' but would
choose som innocent word like table
or chalk. That is a crude illustration,
but it may give you the idea"
And is that ala" asked Groener, in
evident relief.
"No. There is also the time taken
in choosing a word. If I say pen or
umbrella it may take you t%hree-quar-
tiers of a second to answer ink or
rain while it may take another man
whose mind acts slowly a second and
a quarter or ever more for his reply.
Each person has his or her average
time for the thought process, some
longer. some shorter. But that time
process is always heightened after one
of the critical or emotional words-I
mean if the person is guilty. Thus
If l say 'Ansonia' to you and you are
the murderer Of Martinez it will take
you one or two or three seconds longer
to decide upon a safe answering word
than it would have taken if you were
not the murderer and spoke the first
word that came to your tongue. Do

it never would carry weight in a court
of law"
"Never is a long time," said the
judge. wait ten years. We have a
wonderful mental microscope here, and
the world will learn to use it. l use
it now"
"Do you really think" Groener asked
presently, that if I were guilty Of this
crime l could not make these answers
without betraying myself?
"I'm sure you could not"
'Then if l stood the test you would
believe me innocent?"
The magistrate reflected a moment.

"Let me understand this" laughed
the prisoner. You say over a num-
Der of words. and I answer with other
words. You note the exact moment

The detective nodded. 1--WE found

Smith Used Informal Drill to AS

Deny It's There.

Although doctors in the City Hos
pital could not locate it, Edward Smith.
q driver for the New York Grocery
Company, who lives at % Boston street,
is confident hat there is lodged in his
nose or down his throat q two-inch
wire nail, and he will go to the hos
pital again and ask for an X-ray ex-
animation.
Smith. who is % years old, for sew
eral days had been suffering from a
severe old in the head. Last night he
found breathing SO difficult that in
order to clear his nose he seized the
nail and poked it into tho stoppage.
He relieved the congestion somewhat,
but could not find the nail, which went
far back into his nose.
In great pain Smith made his way to
the City Hospital, where the doctors
carefully surveyed every portion of his
nose and then said that Tx nail was
not there; hat he must have sneezed
1t out on the way to the hospital.
Smith went home In a doubling mood
and the doubling mood was more pro-
nounced today as he felt sharp pains
about where the nose joins the> palate.
He is satisfied that the nail is working
its way down into his throat.

ZIONIST MOVEMENT is
DESCRIBED BY DELEGATE.
Rabbi Brodsky Reports on Great
Jewish Uplift Plan.

Intense interest is exhibited today
among the members of the nine differ
ent Zionist societies of Newark, who
heard the report of their delegate,
Rabbi Hyman Brodsky, at the West
Kinney street synagogue last night. The
rabbi had been in attendance at the
Ninth National Zionist Congress at
Hamburg and returned to Newark
some time ago.. since which time he
has been preparing his report.
For nine days delegates from every
country in the world, numbering in all
445, held three sessions daily, with the
object Of bringing about the abolition
of persecution of the Jews in Palestine
and other countries. The object is not
to purchase Palestine nor acquire it as
a territory. but to place the Jewish res
ident upon an equal status with other
~nationalities as loyal subjects of the
Turkish government.
At present, it was shown, a Jew Is
prevented from making q good living,
his children are denied the schools. and
persecution is directed towards him in
many other ways. The land is rich,
opportunities are there in plenty, and
the congress wished to obtain a chance
for the Hebrew to take advantage Of
these advantages. Thousands of them
are there and are willing to work, farm
and go into Industrial pursuits II given
q chance.
Rabbi Brodsky said that a great deal
had been accomplished by the con
gress bringing together brethren from
all over the world and adopting reso-
lutions for the betterment of their fell
low mon in countries where they are
oppressed.
