SENTENCED TO PRISON
 FOR SHOOTING NURSE
George J. Pinter Must Serve Three to Five Years for Episode at
 UndercIin.

New Haven, April 10.-After delib- erating about an hour, the jury in the case Of George J. Pinter in the crim- lnal side of the superior court yester- day afternoon brought in a verdict of guilty of assault with intent to kill, and Judge Webb sentenced the ac- cused to state prison for a term of from three to five years.
 Pinter, who was an inmate of the Undercliff tuberculosis sanitarium at Meriden, on March l 5 last shot Jo- sephine Flanagan, one of the nurses at that institution, in the head with a revolver. He pleaded not guilty. Miss Flanagan was in court with her head bandaged. Defendant was put on the stand in his own behalf. He said he was 27 years old and mar ried; had been suffering from tuber- culosis for three years and had been anirmate of the sanitarium for seven months. He claimed to know noth- ing of the shooting, or that he had lost recollection of it.
 MT. Donoghue, a male attendant in the sanitarium, was examined at some length. In examining Pinter his law yer, John J. Sullivan, told him that it had been claimed that he shot Miss Flanagan and then himself. The de- fendant replied that he had heard so while in the hospital. Further than that, he said, he knew nothing about it. He denied that he had a grudgc against Miss Flanagan or that he had said he would fix" her. In pleading for Pinter, Attorney Sullivan set up the defense of insanity, claiming that Pinter did not know what he was doing. There was no evidence that Miss Flanagan hal illtreated him, and an entire absence of motive in the case. MT. Sullivan pointed out. Pin ter appeared to be quite weak when giving his testimony. He was assisted to the witness chair by two attend ants.

confronted by slmple mental testS confronted by simple mental tests show curious and unexpected re- actions. They frequently do much poorer at them than children. A typical case would be the woman who looked over the completion pie ture critically, and would find no more reason for putting the hat in place than the purse, or the cat than the baby Cthat girl appears to ne foolish; she may be teasing the baby with the. millS1, and so left both couples of places at the side of the empty squares
 The difference was also shown when a professor of psychology left In the chicken tall down, mistake which we have never seen normal child tolerate The same is true of other performance tests. capable adults becoming quite provoked be- cause they do not do well at them. l myself made one of the worst records ever made in the mirror tracing test at certain laboratory
 This statement, and frank con- fession. indicates how various are the mental constitutions which the experts are called upon to analyze. Vocational advice, which has come to be considered so important. de- pends to a great extent on such analyses. For example, there is class of quick, shrewd minds devoid of any plodding characteristics which are not to be discovered by means of the ordinary tests. To meet such cases the trick puzzle box shown on this page has come into use.
 When the box is closed, behind it's glass door is seen complicated 'toggle" arrangement of ropes and rings and knobs which connect with a long hook on one outside edge of the box. The careful. plodding mind traces all the meanderings of the ropes, knobs. rings and outside hook and comes to the logical conclusion that the rirg cannot be raised off the hook until its bit of rope is re- leased from the post inside the box. Therefore. to open the box without using violence Is impossible.
 The quick. shrewd mind. however, soon percelves the suspicious fact that although the box cover has two inset hinges on its left side. the mid de of the left side of the cover also exhibits a most obtrusive hinge. Who ever heard of box cover being hinged on both sidesY There's some thing Ulcer about that ObtrllSivp lln- necessary hinge. The shrewd mind directs inquiring fingers to investi- gate that suspicious hinge. and it promptly proves to be a handle whereby the cover is lifted with no disturbance whateve of the intri- cate toggle arrangement.

"HE picture puzzle shown on
 this page is novelty among
 the tests for mental efficiency, or deficiency, which science has been multiplying during the last few years The standard Binet tests used in all the large cities of the world to definitely fix the mental status of backward children, and to guard against the admission to this country of "defectives" likely to be- come public charges, have recently been fully described in these pages.
 This puzzle picture belongs to a class of tests designed more ac- curately to determine the relative uuickness of perceptive ability in children, particularly the class of boys and girls brought into the chil- drens courts charged with juvenile delinquency. It is used for that pur- pose by Director William Healy, of the Juvenile Psychopathic Institute, Chicago. Naturally, those who are congenitally weakminded, or whose brains are sluggish dn their action owirg to physical causes that affect the brain or nervous system, cannot be expected to pass this test.
 To pass it successfully the solu- tion by child of ten years must be found in not less than five minutes. Probably most readers of this news paper are more than ten years old, yet perhaps the inquiry at the top of the page may not prove impertincnt Try it yourself, with somebody hold ing stopwatch on your perform ance.
 The picture, you will notice, is . crude composition of landscape, with various objects and figures engaged in number of separate activities. The precise nature of these activities is rendered obscure by the absence of certain other objects which should be in the nine square blanks.
 Now, the missing objects are pie tured at the sides and bottom of the puzzle picture on squares of tho same size as the blanks, and ten other objects which do not belong in the picture. So here are nineteen little pictured ideas from which you are to select the right nine and place them in the nine blank spaces
