Man Gains His Freedom
by the Heartbeat Test

LOS ANGELES, February 2O.-For
the first time in the history of legal
jurisprudence Hugo Munsterberg's the
DRY that the pulsations of the heart be-
tray the guilt or innocence of a per-
son charged with a crime has been
demonstrated, and in a California
court.
The test took place in Justice Cas-
sidy's courtroom in Watts. A man
who gave his name as John Smithers
was arrested as being an escaped con-
vict. The theory and the proposed test
was explained by Justice Cassidy, De
claring that he was an honest work
man seeking employment in Los An
geles, Smithers made no objection to
the test.
Placing the prisoner in chair be-
side the court marshal, Traughber ad-
justed the instrument, and taking his
watch from his pocket took the regu-
lar heart action of the prisoner. He
found after several tests that the
heart Of the prisoner registered seven
ty.nine beats a minute, or 1 1850 of
beat per second.
Testing the Theory.
In explaining the theory under which
the experiment would be made Justice
Cassidy declared that he would speak
certain words and asked the prisoner
to reply with word suggested by the
one asked. He stated that 1t was his
intention of testing the claim of the
psychologist that words spoken to men
under arrest, especially those pertain
ing to the crime with which they
might be charged, would cause them
embarrassment in answering and VIII
produce accelerated action Of the
heart.
The following table shows the result
of the test:
Words Time to Answr'd to Heart
Asked Answer Prisoner Pulsatior
White ....5 seconds Black. rs
Sun .6 seconds Moon. 81
San Quentin seconds Prison. rs
Folsom IS seconds Pen.......7S
Revolver =. 5 seconds Gun. ....'E
Escape .....,5 seconds Runaway 81
Policeman Z seconds officer. 81
The officials, after looking over the
table, pointed out that had the prison
er served time in San Quentin, as sus
pected, the word would have caused
acceleration of the heart.
Heart Beats Betray Lie.

asked.
