A QUEER CASE.

10 the average normal mind il
is almost unthinkable that a per
son would deliberately and re
peatedly set fire to buildings
merely because Of an uncontrol
liable impulse or desire to see
them burn, but it seems quite clear
that this is the case with Herbert
F'rampton the 17-year-old boy
who confessed to officers that he
fired the Enterprise warehouse on
Sunday night, and that he had
previously applied the torch to
other buildings, including his own
home-just because something in
his Drain impelled the action,
somethink over which he had no
control.
Young Frampton denies that
either malice, vengeance or hatred
prompted him in any instance to
fire building, but though he
fought against the impulse as
hard as he could. he seemed to be
driven to it.
Even before the flames were
subdued young Frampton main
tainS that he was sorry for his act
III each case, but he knew he
would do the same thing again
if given his liberty.
He made perhaps better than
an average record at school I'D
to the time be quit to 90 to work.
and had entered the ninth grad.
So far as can blearned he was
not vicious or abnormal in any
respect eXcept in his mania for
burning buildings.
As evidence that he is sincere
In his desire to overcome the I'M
accountable impulse to burn
Frampton says he would be viii
ing to undergo surgical opera
ton. and those with whom he has
talked about his mania since his
arrest are impressed with his sim
cerity.
His is indeed a pitiable case. for
while the hastv person might con-
tend that he is a moral pervert.
