written for Cosmopolitan News SerVice.)
NEW YORK. July 26.-Dr. A. A.
Brill, noted psychist, today made
these observations on poison pen"
letters:
Writing scurrilous letters reveals
love hunger.
eft is usually women who write
poison pen letters.
Men who do that belong to a
psychopath-c type.
1.-THE normal man doesn't want to
hurt a woman.
"Psychopathic type wants to de-
story her and the component Of
cruelty in his makeup compels him
to reveal the facts of their intimacy.
The poison pen" letter charge
against George w. Maxwell was
dropped by the authorities when the
Indictment against the music pub
Usher and president of the Amerk-
can Association of Authors, Com
posers and Publishers was dimissed.
But 1t is fact that many people
who know him, including Maxwell
himself, have received vituperative
missives frequently in the morning
mail.
Somebody must have written these
letters.
Who could it have been? That is
still mystery.
What sort of people are apt to
send hateful taunts and indecent
statements through the malls?
Write to Themselves.
DR.. Brill says they are usually
women. Or psychopathic men.
Both write to themselves as well as
70 others.
1.-The average normal man, once
he possesses a woman, would drop
her If he could" was DR.. BrilI's
startling assertion.
But the average normal man
doesn't allow himself to do that
In matrimony, for instance, :he
man realizes that while it may not
be a perfect State it is the one
under which the best people get
along.
1.-THE psychopathic man, after he
possesses q woman is also tired OF
her and would like to drop her il
he could. Such a neurotic man
does drop her because he can't con
troll his reVulsiOn of feeling or see
1T from the average normal mans
point of view"
But many normal men-mar-ied
and singIe-have broken with WON
an, we argued. DR.. Brill answered
that the average fellow is a kind
creature disliking to see another
especially a woman, suffer.
But suppose that a normal aver
age man should wish to break with
q, woman. 1t happens sometimes
He still feels, 1t is not her fault
and he takes a way as gentle as
pcs1.ble. He doesn't want to hurt

"AIl writing is essentially an out
let for something or other. To give
vent to repressed wishes, but not
