MRS. MARTIN GOT 7 YEARS
Innocent" Shrielked Aged Mother

NEWARK, N. J.-Seven years in

ed upon Mrs. Caroline B Martin for
the part she played in the death of
Ocey Snead. her daughter, by Judge

when arraigned on an indictment
charging her with murder.
The body of Ocey Snead was found
in a half-flled bath tub in. a partly

j., Nov. 20, 1909. The indictment of
Mrs. Martin, the victims mother;
Miss Virginia A. Ward1aw and Mrs.
Mary w. Snead, Ocey's aunt and
mother-in-law, followed. Mrs. Ward
law died in jail. Mrs. Snead faces
trial, but it is said that the indict-
ment against her will be mol pressed.
Several times while the Judge was
reviewing the case Mrs. Martin broke
in with:
81 am innocent. I never injured
my daughter or any one else, living
or dead. I am as innocent in the
sight of God as you are, Judge Ten
Eyck"
Twice she collapsed, and at one
time a recess of ten minutes had to
be declared as it was found necessa-

CRIME NOT DECREASING.
Our Prisons Filled With Young Men
Ranging From II To Os Years

Our Prisons Filled With Young Men
Ranging From IL to % Years.
According to a Boston man who
has studied the question and is
therefore qualified to speak there
will be crime on this earth while
there are men here. Statistics prove
that punishment of crime is no de-
torment, and that the end or aim of
criminal law of today is not to pun
ish but to protect the public against
the criminal and to reform him.
When the moral law won't hold
a man no criminal law4nor rule of
three will" says the Bostonian.
Crime is not decreasing, neither is
it increasing, nor is the world grow-
ing better or worse.
But it is an appalling fact that
our state prisons and institutions
are today filed with young men from
II to % years of age for every sort
of criminal tTansgression committed
years ago by men 20 and 80 years
their senior.

young men within their walls as
they have today Why? The ques-
ton cannot be solved unless it is
that the average man of today is not
as kindly and as charitable as the
average men of other days. 1t seems
to me that if the majority of these
young men that are daily being sent
to prison were taken in hand say
five or ten years before coming with
in the pale of the law and given hon
est work there would be a different
story to tell. Lack of work, distress
and want are usually three things
which start a man on the road to a
criminal life.
The ex-prisOner of today who on
coming out into the world deter
mines to reform faces a problem al
most as serious as that faced by
Jean Vatican in Victor Hugo's great
masterpiece"

THEY KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON.
People in Lonely Iceland Interested
in Current Events.

III SuTEGHG ENeniS.
A traveller in Iceland says that he
journeyed more than so miles from
the capital, Reykjavik, and saw but
two or three farms in all that dis
lance.
During this time" he says in the
Youths Companion, Il had not seen
a sapling as big as stalk of CATO
nine-tails. Extinct volcanoes sur
rounded us on every side Dust
storms swept down from their SCARF
ed sides. Distant CLEANS of glitter
ing ice from the glaciers dazzled us
when the sun shone upon them.
''But here in land where there
is almost no fuel, and where few
crops besides hay and potatoes can
be raised, in the land of midnight
sun in summer and the midday moon
in winter, | found books and cheer
full conversation, an outlook on life,
and knowledge of current events
which I have not always found in
populous cities.
There are no schools to be sure,
outside of Reykjavik, and one or two
other small towns, for children can
not walk ten miles each way to
school house, and even such a school
house would accommodate but two
or three families. But the itinerant
pedagogue goes about from house to
house, carrying his store of learning
with him, and leaving behind much
intellectual stimulous and a desire
to know what is going on beyond the
bounds Of the island"
