CRAZY OR SHAMMING

1t was bold play to put Miss Lena Clarke on
the stand and let her the jury with her story
Of her previous exstences. She profssses to re
member her spirit life, through all the ages Of the
world. from the time when, as a sort of spirit atom
she watched God create the universe until she stood
before Miltimore and the lights hared up laand
all was darkness until she found herself with Ghief
Vestal. t". ,.,i} = ano.i
Her story is crazy enough, in all conscience, but
unfortunately for her, it is enc which any alenist
or psychologist, familiar with the phenomena Of
decisions, can dissect and determine with unerrmg
certainty whether it is a genuine hallucnation or
fabrication.
Even to our non-eXpert mind, the story as
reported by the + mpa Trbune correspondent, APP
pears to bear the earmarks of deliberate workmans
ship. Sane persons; who dabble in the occult and
let their imagination play with such fancies as the
transmigration of souls are usually secretve about
it. Unless they write books or poems, they do not
expose their dreams to an unsympathetic public.
And it has ndE sppsaf4l 1t. any of 'the previous
discussions of tie Clarke case thai the West Palm
Beach posmistress any exception to that rule.
On the other hand, those who actually possess
hallucination Of that character like to discuss it,
and are angry with all who refuse to take it seri-
ousy. 1t crops out in everything they discuss. If
Miss Clarke really believed her own story, she
would never have waited until she was on trial for
murder to give it to the public
Again, there is too much dscursveness about it.
1t is too logical, yet too Illogical Delusions are
usually pinned down to single point. She might
suppose herself to be Cleopatra, or Salome or Luz
cretia Borgia, Or Helen Of Troy and it is con-
ceivable that she might fancy that Mitimore was
some historical character who had injured her in
her previous exstence-this might even constitute
the insane motive of crime by an insane person
but when she branches out becomes an observer
as we'll as an actor in a dozen widely separated
historic and prehistoric scenes she betrays the very
opposite Of what she is evidently trying to appear
1t is not the story of an insane person, but of "a

NO HONEST MAN NEED GIVE BAD CHECKS
(Kissimmee Gazette.)

Thirty seconds are all that are required for any
depositor to learn his balance in the bank in
which he does busness-provided he will call in
person. To call for such detail over the phone
will not be success-if the cashier is careful
Official because if such practice should be es-
tablished any could find out full details re-
garding anyone else he desired-and the secrecy
of business relations become thereby common
property.
The real business man will always have upon
his stubs the amount of the balance on hand in
the bank. There is no necessity for issuing
bad check If he fails to keep the stubs up to
date moment in the bank will give his the de-
sired information Consequently, again, there is
no need of drawing a bad check. There is a say
ing as old as it is trite: Ignorance of the law
excuses no man On the same line of reasoning
it may be asserted with equal postiveness "Ig-
norance regarding a checking account excuses no
bad checks"
The whole trouble in Florida-a state that
abounds in Gull fruit and Gull checks-is mem
Der of the Legislature has sufficient pluck to urge
that the bad law for bad checks shall be sup
planted by good law for bad checks. Possibly
no state in the union has such a flood of forged
checks and bad checks as daes this state. There
is a retcence upon the paTttofnsomelsof the firms
lics lest the opinion become common. that, the
house is an easy mark; whereas when a man, or
firm is skinned" the greatest publicity with
full details should be given to the public-to put
Others their guard
Again, there is multiplicity of cases where the
bad check is given by "a mighty good fellow,
who'll settle the thing sometime and because he
is a good fellow, and may possibly pay if he is
talked to when he's in a responsive mood, the
firm accepting the check sees that no steps are
taken to convict him. And, again. the drawer of
the check may have some friends who have
pull"
The Gazette has no hesitation in making this
assertion-aIways being open to argumentive con-
tradction THERE ARE MORE CASES OF
BAD CHECKS, COVERED UP, OR ARRANGED"
IN FLORIDA THAN ARE EVER PROSECUTED
