Chicago, June 8.-Miss Mary Camp
bell, associate director of the psyche
pathic laboratory, refused to apply her
mental tests to Hazel Pollock of Min
nesota, coed and alleged jewel thief,
at the request Of Municipal Judge
Wells, before whom the girl was ar
raigned Wednesday.
DIR. Sarah Craig Buckley made a
preliminary examination of the girl.
From what she reported, l would not
be able to examine the girl for at least
month";" Miss Campbell said. Her
reactions would not be normal. She
is neropath.
''The girl is suffering from a nerv-
Gus breakdown, due to long years of
overstudy When a man becomes de-
pressed his over-wrought nerves find
an escape valve in drink or some 9TH
er excess.
Miss Pollock's is similar case.
Instead of taking to drink, however,
she has taken to stealing. If she were
put in a sanitarium under the care of
a nerve specialist and given complete
rest for a month, would then be able
to make tests that would show exact
ly what is wrong with her. l will
not examine her in her present nerv-
Gus condition"

police when accused of jewelry
theft, that she needed the money to
