HOW THIRD DEGREE" WORKS
According 70 This Explanation, IN
innocent Man Need Have No
Fear Of the Ordeal.

During the trial Of murder case re.
Gently the presiding Judge interrupted
the testimony Of a detective to ask
him to define the third degree. The
detective replied that, although he
was familiar with the term, he was
in the dark as to just what was meant
by It.
The third degree, until recent years,
was In the main a physical ordeal
The culprit was often struck, kicked,
pinched. and otherwise roughly han
died. Today the third degree has be-
come more Of a mental ordeal. The
prisoner is taken in hand by several
detectives, who put him through a rig
orOus questioning. Experienced de-
tectives assert that no guilty man can
long stand up under a severe cross
examination, and that, on the other
hand. if he be innocent, he will have
no difficulty In convincing his Ques-
TONERS.
