CHLOROF FORM FOR
CRIMINAL INSANE
DOCTOR PROPOSES
Dr.. Frank LydStOn Recon-

Disposal of Murders Result
ing From Dementia.

CHICAGO, March "a system for
the disposal of murders after the
manner of garbage reduction was
recommended today by Or. G. Frank
LydStOn, known over the world as a
successful surgeon. He would have
the criminal insane chlorofOrmed
DR.. LydstOn has just startled the
world with a successful series Of eX-
perimentS in transplanting glands
His recommendation on the subject
Of disposing Of insane criminals and
murderers We're contained in an in
terview on the William Cheney Ellis
murder case.
Ellis. a wealthy Cincinnati O..
leather merchant, was convicted of
numbering his pretty wife in their
room in the Hotel Sherman here last
October. The jury voted to sentence
him TO u years Imprisonment
Recommends ChIOrOfOrm
Il don't believe in capital punish
ment-that is in DESTROYING the life
of criminal of any sort for disci-
plinaEy purposes. For the insane
murdered I would recommend cnlo-
rOfOrm, a humane quiet method OF
destroying a man who is economically
useless. This would not be for the
purpose Of Furnishing him. That would
be absurd. We must get out Of the
sentimental views of half-baked So
biologists. We must regard Ellis and
his type as men who have forfeited
the rights of citizenship.
We must look on them merely as
two legged animals who have proved
themselves a menace TO society at
large. Such men are society's gar
bage heap. They should be treated
as great cities are learning TO treat
their garbage. There is some good
in a heap of garbage All that Is
good is saved in the process OF re-
duction. That is what should be done
TO men like Ellis The garbage heap
with him
Would BE Humane.
Destroying the insane as I have
outlined would not only be the most
humane thing that could happen 10
the insane murderer. but would revO-
lutionize the methods Of defending
murders. The criminal lawyer in
stead of straining every nerve 70
prove his client insane by the aid OF
fake scientists and purchased ex-
perts, would busy himself 10 prove
him sane. Out Of the horror of Ellis
crime would come the great lesson
the lesson OF marriage control. IL
should impress upon public the pub
lies own share IN the crime Of pol
luting innocent women and little chill
dren 1t is high time that the public
awOke to the necessity Of protecting z
women and children. Children are
not consulted as 10 whether they de-
sire TO be born or not. There should
be a comparative, logical, just and
humane code for the protection for
the unborn. The lack Of such a code
forms a chapter in the history OF
civilization that is vet 10 be written.
Society that knows no better than TO
allow a condition that permits women
and children 10 suffer the destroying
touch OF the unspeakably diseased
must learn 20 guard against the ills
that are working such harm for III.
Society should learn the lesson OF the
garbage heap"
