WOMEN SLAYERS DISCUSSED
Three Women Charged with Murder
for Gain in News
MRS JOHN A. LOGAN TALKS
In Interview on HeInOus Coiuctdents
of Female Crime Mrs. Logan
Defends Her seN--MOrhl
standard Not FaIiinE.

NEW YORK. Jan. 15-Three women
charged with murder apparently for gain
figure in Yesterdays news.
At wheeling. W. Va, Mrs Laura
Farnsworth Schenk is on trial, charged
with trying to kill her elderly millionaire
husband with poison so that she might
have his money and freedom. In court
today Mrs. Klein, detective who had
posed as a nurse, told a graphic story OF
the events that led up TO Mrs. schenk's
arrest the most startling part Of which
was a reported offer OF Mrs. Schenk Of
$1,000 to the woman detective to poison
Schenk
In Albany. y. Y, Mrs. Edith Melber
was arraigned for killing her 5-year-old
son George, the police sllege, because he
stood in the way OF her marriage with a
man who would have been able to give
her the comforts she desired. She has
confessed the killing, though not the
motive, and when she was taken to Al
bany it was necessary to have heavy
police guard to protect her from mob
of Infatuated women who had gathered
to wreak vengeance on her.
AIIeEc Mrs. Martin insane.
At Newark, n. j., counsel for Mrs.
Caroline b. Martin, awaiting sentence for
the murder OF her daughter. Ocey Snead,
In order to, 1t is alleged, get insurance
money, served notice of appeal to the
supreme court in an effort TO have the
woman adjudged insane.
What is the reason why women thus
figure so prominently In the criminal
news? This question was put to Mrs,
John A. Logan. Her answer follows:
Ff~ttv.
| in the days news accused Of murder for
money indicate a weakening of the moral
fiber of women in general? l think not
| There have always been women who have
been willing to commit the most heinous
crimes for the sake OF material advan-
| tages. There have always been men
| more men than women--of which the
statement is equally true.
1.-THE fact that woman is charged with
such crimes as are laid at the door OF
| Mrs Schenk, Mrs. Melber and Mrs. Mar
tin gives these crimes greater news value
| than II SIMILAR crimes were charged
against men, This in itself is evidence
that woman is less likely than man tc
commit such crimes
Mad striving il Cause.
TT is, however, 1 believe, that the

responsible for this class of crime or
the part Of, both men and women. Mod
ern conditions of life are such that crav
ings for pleasure are created which car
only be satisfied by the possession OF
money
There is striving for things which
are beyond reach and with certain tenn
peraments even the awful crime of muir
der will not stand in the way of reaching
the end desired. Such temperaments
however, are rare.
The fact that there are so many casei
in one day. news is, 1 am sure, coinci
dental and in no way indicates that man
kind or womankind is growing NOR,
reckless of human life"
