POLICEMAN TELLS OF
HIS NARROWEST ESCAPE

The fruits of life are enjoyed in
a more thankful manner by Detec-
tive John Mullin than by most men.
For Mullin was the subject OF a
circumstance which placed him
nearer the everlasting than is
really comfortable.
Mullin related, in an unconcerned
way. how. back in 1908. on
balmy day in October, while pump
ing a bicycle for all the speed that
could be got out Of it over on the
west side on a burglary call, he saw
two men standing between two
houses.
Just as Mullin put on the hand
brake the robbers opened fire at
him. Although a hgament in his
knee was torn loose as he fell he
started firing and brought down one
of the men. The second made a
temporary escape, but only until
he was sighted by Mullin again,
some six blocks away. He stopped
with four bullet holes through
him.
Mullin says he was mad He
must have Deen, to lie and stand
there, a target for the two men,
at a distance of thirty feet, md,

WHEN IS MADMAE
MAD?ATTORNEyS
To TAKE COURSE
Clinical PsyChiater to Lecture
Lawyers and Ministers
on Insanity.

When woman kills a man she
pleads self-defense, wears her most
becoming gown and a wistful look
and plays fulI-force on the sympa-
thies of the jury.
When a man is the slayer, and can
not deny 1t, he looks blank and pleads
insanity.
At times so fine is the line between
the insane and the sane that not even
the mans attorneys can tell whether
or not the insanity is feigned or real.
AS a result, frequently lawyers are
led to defend a prisoner on an insan-
ity plea. when the defendant actually
is as sane as the attorney himself.
To aid attorneys and others in de-
termining such cases, a course OF
clinical lectures in forensic psychiatry
will begin at 1870 p. m. Thursday at
the Central Indiana Hospital for the
Insane. The course will consist of
eight weekly two-hour lectures, in
connection with a course in medical
jurisprudence given by DR.. Edward a.
Willis at the Indiana Law School.
DR.. Max a. Bahr, clinical psychiater
lectures. They are designed to inform
lawyers, law students and ministers
of the relation of the law to cases
Of insanity. DR.. George F. Eden
harter, superintendent Of the hospital,
evolved the idea of the course many
years ago.
Patients at the hospital will be used
in the clinical work
The first lecture will be on "Halluci-
nations"
DR.. Willis, in Announcing the course
today, recalled case%after case in
which persons seemingly We're sane,
until touched on one particular SUBJ
ject. He remarked that an &C. Of
seeming insanity can be told to a jury
in such a way as to give the impress
sion that the person actually is in
sane.
DR.. Willis stressed the point that
lawyers should be able to distinguish
between what he called fachtlous, or
actual, insanity, and fictitious, or
feigned, insanity.

NEW YORK, Jan. 10.-Suppose

Gentlemen, I am thoroughly con-

It would be called visionary and

Later Chief OBrien talked Of the
days when he was captain at the
station, then No. 10 engine house.
"The place seems like home to
me" he said. "For nine months
I never left the place except for
meals. One Of the boys was in

turn so he would draw full pay"
Remember the collapse of the

That's one time I remember that
even the horses were so scared they
refused to take the harness. The
alarm came in at midnight. When
we opened the doors the street was
filled with dirt ana smoke, but after
a little coaxing the horses went to
their places and we got to the fire.
Men Transferred
The station was closed under
Mayor Shank's previous administra-
ton, used as headquarters by the
salvage corps for two years and
opened again under Mayor Bell.
With stations situated at no great
distance from it on both sides in
the downtown district, the station
is not needed, Chief O'Brien said.
The national board of fire under

closed.
The men will be transferred and
