self in Morgue, Spent Years
in Handling Bodies of
Suicides
THEORY OF SUGGESTION

Considerable interest has been manl-
sosted by psychologists and students of
roental diseases in the case of Policeman
James Duffy. who killed himself last night
IN the morgue.
DUFFY blew out his brains while bodies of
unidentified suicides lay IN the basement
~ the building. The patrolman had been
on this beat" for many years and had as
sis,od in carrying dead bodies into the
,oorgi,e' He had been unwell recently, but
nersons familiar with the case attribute the
mans self destruction to suggestion.
Duffy in the course OF his career, had
,aLen charge of many cases of suicide. He
sns ,,ot oniv taken charge of the bodies but
,nvestieated the deaths, and appeared as a
witness before the Coroner's jury. He had
taken such things as matter OF course.
"Jandling" suicides to him was a part OF
ordinary police business. He had never
besn morbidly affected by these Jobs"
ant last night Duffy selected the morgue
as the place of his death. He might have
Li,Ied himself at home or at any other
noint ON his long beat" but he chose In
stead the place where for so many years
he had been in the atmosphere of suicide.
"It looks very much like case of sug-
pestion," said DR.. Lightner Wilmer pro-
fessor of psychology at the University OF
pennsylvania and a scientist of interna-
t,onal reputation But of course l should
have TO know every fact in the case to pass
q final opinion.
"The man may have been Ill mentally or
nhysicaly But 1t is remarkable that he
should have chosen the morgue as the place
of his suicide 1t is significant. too. that he
killed himself with his police revolver, In
my studies in psychology, however, have
never known of a single undisputed case OF
suggestion.

DIR. Walter S. Cornell, chief medical in.
spector of the public schools, is also a
student of psychology. He said:
"The man may have been the victim of
an imperative impulse 1 mean by that,
that he might have been disturbed by
thoughts over which he could exercise no
control But If, as l have been told. he
was of a robust disposition, 1t seems un.
likely that he should have been affected by

DR.. Walter S. Cornell, chief medical in
spector of the public schools, appeared be-
to plead for the appointment of additional
school physicians to prevent diseases
among the children. He told the committee
that the needs of the school system would
Justify the appointment of 4e new medical
Inspectors, and that their services would
cost many thousands Of dollars annually
According to Doctor Cornell, contagious
diseases have been reduced to n remark
able extent within the last few years by
the work of his department. The medical
inspectors are physicians who devote only
part of their time to the school work
They are employed by the Department of
Health and Charities but since their
salaries are paid by the Board Of Educa-
tion the appointment of additional in
spectors would necessarily be authorized by
the latter body.
