Airedale was shot to put him out of

.'R|MINOLOGY IS

Nevada's Chief Justice Has Interest.
ing Article In "osse and
Comment"

In an article entitled Evolution In
Criminal Law and Criminology" ap-
pearing in the March issue of Case
and Comment" Hon. Frank II. Nor
cross, chief Justice of the Nevada
supreme court, discusses the elements
that have led up to the present system
of handling criminal trials and shows
the changes criminal law has under
gone from ancient times to the pres
ent day.
Relative to the charge that the pres-
ent day course of criminal procedure
Is inefficient the chief justice says:
7 shan not contend that lsaE,a- i.,-..-;-
-eTnrn rnzr nHs been directed toward
our present day procedure. I do con-
tend, however, that when de have
remedied the faults that exist in mere
matters OF procedure, If we go no
further, we will find that we have
made but slight impression on this
great social problem. II the sole end
to be obtained by system OF criminal
procedure is the conviction of the
guilty. then 1t may be said In extenua-
tion of our present system that with
all its defects 1t is sufficiently effica-
clous TO keep our prisons and Jsils
fairly well filed to capacity"
Judge Noreross contends that the
constitutional guaranty that no accus-
ed person shall be made to bear wit
ness against himself is "ths haven of
safety of the guilty" In this con-
nect:on ne continues: "The reason for
the existence OF this guaranty having
long ceased, the rule itself should
cease, or at least be .ubjscted to ma
terial notifications. rhe object OF all
trials ia to ascertain the truth, but the
state shuts itself out from ne most
available means of arriving at this re.
sult."
After taking up causes and motives
for different crimes the chief justice
deduces that crime Is o disease which
/ requires the aid of specialists TO help
or cure as man.made laws" II, con-
clusiop Judge Norcross says;
"The time ia shout due in the evoiu-
tion OF criminal law and osiminology
for another great change ir society'n

fact the change has already begun to
