Only the younger pupils took part and

The progress that the children have made

worthy, both in their vocal and their in
strumental work. Their teacher is to be
congratulated on the success she has had
with the children. All of the selections
were charming the expression attained

a fact. which has been repeatedly
demonstrated by psychological ex-
eriments, that even when our
vision is quite unrestricted we fail
to observe many things which We
imagine we actually see. We see

actually.
Even when we look directly at an
object, we seldom see all of it, al
though we would probably be will
ing to go on the stand and swear
that we saw every part of it. The
fact, however is that we see only
part of the object and imagine the

instance, your eye actually observes
only part OF each letter and Jumps

rest of it is. That is why, in read
ing hastily, we find it necessary
sometimes to retrace our steps, so
to speak. The context tells us that
we must have read inaccurately.
Such mistakes are due to partial
observation. We saw but part of a

which are based on the scientific
data obtained by the engineer pre-

graphically what serious mistakes
may be made by even honest key

an innocent participant in the
tragedy be accused of the crime.

A JURY in the New York Su-
~ preme Court recently lis
d = tened to maid testify on
the witness-stand what she saw
while peeping through a keyhole.
Solely upon the strength of the
girls testimony the jury decided
that Mrs Adele Lewis Stiefel was
entitled to an absolute divorce from
DR.. Benjamin w. 6tiefel, although
the doctor and the patient who was
in the room with him while the
maid was spying through the key
hole both testified that the witness
was entirely mistaken.
Just what it was that the maid
thought she saw and, therefore,
swore she saw, and which the jury
believed she really did see-this is
not material to the interesting facts
which will be discussed here. Dr.
Stiefel and his woman patient had
an explanation of what the maid
thought was going on-the jury be-
lieyed the maid
ID Justice Cohalan who tried the
case, promptly set the jury's YER
dict aside. The keyhole evidence,
upon which the whole case against
the doctor was founded, was not, he
decided, to be relied upon.
While the Judge did not discuss
in detail the weakness of keyhole
evidence in general, the courts are
evidently beginning to look upon
such evidence with suspicion.
A few years ago Professor Hugo
Munsterberg, the famous Harvard
psychologist wrote a book, entitled
ION the Witness Stand" in which
he condemned the methods of law
courts because, he contended,
neither lawyers, judges nor juries
pay sufficient attention to psy-
chology In weighing the value of
testimony.
1.-The judge listens, perhaps" he
declared, ito a description of things
which the witness has secretly seen
through the keyhole of the door;
he does not understand why all the
judgments as to the size of objects
and their place are probably
erroneous under such circum-
stances"

not have been sufficiently enlarged
to have given him an accurate idea
of just what was occurring in the
room.
Another Illustration on this page
presents another situation which is
W II within the bounds of probabil-
ity. A man and woman are dane
ing. Suddenly the lady gives a cry
of distress. She has had an attack
of heart disease. A keyhole Wit
ness, who has been taking in the
scene, throws open the door and
PUSHES in the room just as the
woman collapses. Suppose the
woman dies? Would not the partial
view obtainable through the key
hole, as disclosed in the illustration
on this page, taken in connection
with the woman's cry, be very apt
> to lead to the mans arrest for
murder, with the keyhole pepper
acting as star witness against him?
Equally within the bounds OF
probability is a third scene illus
trated on this page. A servant is
going through her mistress's bu-
reau, lingering the various pieces
Of jewelry which lie In the drawer.
Suppose a keyhole witness OBJ
served the maid while thus occu-
pied, and that some months after
ward one of the pieces of jewelry
were missing? Would not the tes-
timony of this witness be very apt
to fasten suspicion on the servant
in question. even though, as shown

Guesswork Supplies
Missing Details.

This universal habit of partial OBJ
servation is one of the things which
make keyhole testimony so unre-
liable. Because of the restricted
vision which the keyhole affords,
the observer, quite unconsciously.
is led to guess what he doesn't see.
Looking through the keyhole he OBJ
serves but very small part of the
scene in the room. By shifting his
eye to and fro little, his range OF
vision may be somewhat increased,
but still there are large areas IN
the room which remain quite in
visible to him.
These things have all been made
clear by an engineer who recently
had occasion to investigate this
very question. The room which he
measured was some seventeen feet
deep. The keyhole in the door was
of average size, one inch high and
three-eighths of an inch wide. Ow-
ing to the door handle the eye
could not be brought nearer to the
keyhole than about four and one
quarter inches. The door was some
two inches thick.
Looking through this keyhole,
the engineer found the eye could
see a field no more than one foot
six inches wide and four feet high
at a distance of seventeen feet
from the keyhole. At half that
distance from the door the field
of vision was only half as great.
In other words, the nearer the key
hole the smaller the field of vision.
BY moving the eye about in front
of the keyhole the field of vision
could be moved about within GER
tain limits. The widest possible
range OF vision obtainable in this
way would be three feet wide and
some six feet high.
Some of these points will be made
clearer, perhaps, by actually look
ing through a keyhole and noting
how. when looking plumb through
1t, the entire height and width OF
the hole can be seen through. BY
looking aslant, the full width and
height of the keyhole can at first
still be used. but at greater slants
one end of the keyhole begins to
obstruct the field of vision, so that

person passing the door would be
very apt to peep through the key
hole. If, as the observer placed his
eye to the keyhole. the pistol went
off and the suicide fell back dead,
1t is more than likely that the wit
ness would be absolutely convinced
that a murder had been committed
and he had seen it.
Only a very small portion of this
tragic scene would have been Wis
ible to the keyhole witness. The
illustration shows what a wrong
impression 1t would be apt to give.
Even II there had been time enough
between the uttering Of the words
Don't shoot" and the firing OF the
shot for the witness to have moved
his eye to and fro in front of the
keyhole, his range of vision would

only a portion of the keyhole is
available for viewing the inside of
the room. Outside of the fields de-
scribed. everything in the room is
quite invisible. The field of com
plete invisibility includes at least
six feet Immediately in front of the
keyhloe, so that If an untruthful
keyhole witness were trapped into
describing the doormat just inside
the door, as seen through the key
hole, for instance, the falsity of the
testimony could easily be made APP
parent.
But the great danger of keyhole
testimony lies principally in the
fact that even honest witnesses get
false Impressions when their OBJ
servations are made under such
Instantaneous circumstances. Not
infrequently men have been sent
to prison on the strength of key
hole testimony, and yet its unre-
liability can ver' easily be demon
strated.

Human Testim ony
Not Infallible.

From Judge Cohalan's action in
the Stiefel case, il would seem that
at least one jurist was mindful of
the fallibility of human testimony
under special circumstances, and
in a similar case recently in which
a divorce was granted upon the
testimony of witness who testified
what she saw through a stove
pipe hole in ceiling, the Appellate
Court decided that the witness
could not possibly have seen what
she testified to, and reversed the
judgment.
The fact is that the average in
divldual has but very inaccurate
idea of what can be seen through a
keyhole. An untruthful witness,
testifying as to what was observed
under such circu instances, is very
apt, therefore, 10 include many
, things which must have been quite
out of the range of vision. Go to
a keyhole now, kneel down, and OBJ
serve how limited is the field of
vision.
But the most interesting thing
about keyhole testimony is the fact
that even TRUTH full witness is very
apt to be mistak On as to what &C.
