themselves only know, and the court
has been full of men, young men,
loafng away their time in order that
they might cater to their diseased
brains by absorbing vicious testi-
mony. They have looked with gloat-
ing eyes at the young, and pretty
girls; they have curled their lips in
amused contempt at the older women
whose faces we're indelibly marked
with the stamp of sin.
Why is it no one warns against this
disease? Is it possible that we do
not realize whittier it leads us? Does
any one who thinks believe that any
man or woman, young or middle
aged, may listen to obscenities, may
absorb details Of crime, and not de-
teriorate?
Surely it is time we treated this
disease, morbid curiosity, as thing
to be checked and not catered to, and
if no other method can be adopted to
check it, then it would seem that
courts where such trials are in prog
ress should exclude these victims of
morbid curiosity regardless of the
wires they pull or the excuses they
may give to crafty their own de-
SireS.
