WHAT 1T REALLY MEANS.
Maybe those words don't mean so
much to the average individual. They
are. perhapt Just . sort OF court
ritual. which almost everybody must
have heard repeated At one time or
another. but the full meaning Of
which they do not comprehend.

average iayman to realize just what
the death sentence really means The
average q person-fortunately

mind with such sordid things. He
is lucky enough to be able to pull
his skirts aside and view such things
from an abstract viewpoint
But when person has sat In .
day in and day out for
three weeks, listening to the testi-
mony for and against an eighteen-
ysar-oid boy. and when II the close
Of the trial she hears jury bring
In q verdict OF murder In the hrst
degree" n-perhaps you will say
this II the sentimental 'raving OF q

believe 1t ID possible for any such
person to be absolutely unmoved By
the verdict.
HARDER FOR coURr.

'"It In much harder for the court than

No one would doubt the truth OF
Judge Gouid's words. But, on the
other hand, are we to accept them
oft-handedIy As . wholef Or are we
to ansiyze them and see what the
Psychology OF the situation really 10?
Is II that the person upon whom
the death sentence, especially q boy
Of eighteen or twenty. In being pro-
nounced is so hardened that he really
doesn't mind the death verdict? Or
is II that he Is so stunned by the
shock and the long hours spent In
the court room, listening to an ar
raignment OF himself and his char
acter, that he really doesn't compre-
hend tho full.meaning OF tho SEN
tence?
EvINCE NO FEELING.
Is II possible that any person

John McHenry evidenced no partic-
uiar anxiety when Judge Gould SEN
fenced him to hang. On the contrary,
ne met the sentence with q smile and
nod, and the words. Il thank you.
Your Honor"
BUT does anyone really believe that
that boy was thanking the. Judge for
sentencing him TO hang BY the neck

iieve that life had become so hateful
to this boy that he welcomed the re-

RESENTS MUSIC TORTURE
WITH CAFE 'VICTUALS''

"They say that the restaurants and
hotels in Paris have dismissed all
their musicians. including the jazz
artists. 1t ts stated that. on account
of the increased taxes, the hosts OF
the various restaurants and cabarets
find that they cannot pay the music
ians even by increasing the prices OF
food.
Personally. ] never have been able
to find an added enjoyment to my
modest meals when my ears were
being tortured whether by piano or
by a small orchestra or gang OF
jazzers. My experience has been that
what was expended on the music
should have been expended on my
viCtuals.
II have determined that in the
italian restaurants the cooks are
Chinese, in the French the cooks are
Italians and in the American restau-
rants the cooks must be stevedores or
tongshorcmcn, or Indians from the
prairies."
