SEES LITTLETO
STOPE EXECUTION
OF BEN BROOKS
Governor, Opposed to Capital
Punishment, Would En-
force Laws.

Governor Warren T. McCray, as far as
his personal sentiment is concerned, does
not believe in capital punishment, but
this sentiment would not lead him to in
terfere in the meeting out Of justice &C
Cording to the State laws, he said today
when asked whether any action in the
case OF Ben Brooks, confessed Jackson
County slayer, who is In the Bartholomew
county iail under sentence Of death, was
considered likely.
"'I personally am opposed to capital
punishment as 4 matter Of principle" the
Governor said" but am here TO enforce
the laws as they are on the statute
books
Governor NcCray was asked II the fact
brought in court that the confession Of
Ben Brooks was obtained by Superin-
tendent George A. Il. Shideler Of the In
diana reformatory after he had told
Brooks that it was his belief that no man
had ever been hung or eIectrOcuted in
the State Of Indiana WIG had previously
confessed TO the crime would have any
bearing in the case. Mr.. Shideler was
asked recently if he intended TO inter
cede for Brooks in view OF the fact that
the confession was obtained in that man
ner and Superintendent Shideler replied
that he did not intend 70 take any fur
Their part in the case. q.
The statement made by Shideler was
news to Governor McCray and he said
that it would come up before him when
the case is viewed. Governor McCray
said that he knew Of no extenuating cir
cumstances in the case from newspaper
accounts that would Justify any action
on his part looking toward the saving Of
Brooks from the electric chair.
Brooks was taken to Jacksonville from
the Jackson County Jail at BrOwnstOwn
shortly after the finding of the mutilated
body Of AmazOna Montgomery, prominent
Seymour and Jackson County business
man and farmer. Brooks case grew out
Of the theft Of chickens in which some
members of mis- family were alleged to
have been involved. Montgomery met his
death in a brutal manner in a secluded
and desolate spot in the eastern part OF
Jackson County, aud his body was not
found until three days after he had been
murdered.
Feeling ran high In Jackson County
and Brooks, after his arrest, was put in
the State reformatory for safe keeping.

McCray. Notwithstanding, there is up

determination to hold taxes as low as is
consistent with sane economy. yet follow
ing this theory in the last Legislature,
I cheerfully urged the assembly to grant

WiLdS.

CHICAGO, March s.-Northwestern and
Chicago University scientists prepared
today for a South American monster
hunt"
Reports from Patagonia that living
pre- historic monster is roaming the wilds
OF that land have prompted university
psychologists to consider 2 thorough in
vestigation.
Elmer S. Riggs, curator OF the Field
Museum OF Natural History here, Will
head the Chicago delegation.
The monster animal is said to be a
plesiosaurian with a body like a croco-
die and a neck like a swan's-probably,
scientists say, the missing link in the
evolution of some modern animal.
Existence of such an animal would
be proof of the truth Of the geologic
science" Riggs said.

SUPER-CROOKS.

William Allan Pinkerton famed detective says
criminals Of today are mentally far inferior TO the
old-time master minds Of crime
Pinkertons explanation is that the clever crook
has turned to bootleggins. which among crooks is
considered as approaching responsibility.
A bootlegger's customers. to whom he sells stolen
or doctored hooch are more pleasant to deal with
than the lower-grade fences" who buy the loot OF
conventional robberies
Another reason why so few men of intelligence
are found among modern criminals is because the
wise ones have realized that the mental resource
funess, necessary for successful criminal career
usually pays better when applied to legitimate pur-
suits.
The man who invented the first gold brick. for
instance, high type of scientific salesman,
though 1t probably never occurred him that man
who could >sen brass for gold could sell almost
anything. even snow at the north pole.
What the modern criminal lacks in intelligence.
compared with the crooks OF a generation ago. he
generally makes up IN a willingness TO commit muir
der without hesitation. says Pinkerton.
The old-t.me crook usually shot only as a last
resort
Today every city has breed OF crooks who will
kill as quickly and indiRerently the fctional bad
man Of early days in the west
Murder and a crooks willingness to bump or
his victim have become the foremost criminal
problems.
In the Old DAYS when footpad usually used
blackjack or piece OF lead pipe, his victim had
chance. Today the PISTOL has taken the place Of
blackjack and lead PIPE.

has not been such TO inspire large confidence on
the part Of the people in that equality OF conduct

The new prosecutor goes INTO office with the kind
lest sentiment the part OF the citizens and backed
by a profound hope that the courts. the laws. the
institutions which protect all life and property will

The duties Of the prosecutor are plain and clear
He must not prosecute in cases which are either

that the written laws under which we live not

hope and the standards OF Ms community. will
permit no prejudice. no discrimination no wavering

they know they deludng themselves. They
know the party has failed and they the presi-

It Is quite true there were other contributing
factors in the defeat of of the proni-

election than in the primaries. The election Of

history Of the Republican party, tremendous

trend of events What revolving to the entire
nation, the spectacle a seat in the being
won by the lavish expenditure of hundreds of
thousands of dollars just because the candidate had

to the citizens of Michigan. 1t Is a good that
the citizens of that strong Republican state could
cast aside party lines to rebuke repudiate that
which dlsgraced their fair state the eyes of the
nation and of the world.
Aside from Newberrysm, If that be classed as an
issue there real issues in the camragn.
The election devolved into the question of whether
the past two years warranted vote of confidence
in the administration and the peoples answer was
an overwhelming protest that it did not The people
did not have deal TO vote for, but they did
have a great deal TO vote against.
