THIRD DEGREE TO.

Terrors Of Psychology To Be Sub
stituted By Chicago Police For
Ancient Methods
BY ROY GIBBONS

CHICAGO, Jan. 10.-Chicago po-
lice are substituting for the crude
brutalities of ""the third degree" the
rev terrors of psychology.
Through practical application of
psychological principles, particularly
through breaking down resistance of
the conscious mind and liberating
the unconscious mind they are
u.r;nging confessions from criminals.
The new system is having its most
Spectacular test in the case of Albert
Foster, arrested on charge of first
degree murder in connection with
the mysterious disappearance of his
former fancee, Mrs. Kate Mitchell
Trostel.
Quizzed SO Hours.
For % hoTr5-Without sleep or
Iet-up-Detective Chef Michael
Hughes and his assistants put Foster
through the psychological third de-
gree.
There were no threats of physical
violence, no shouting and denuncia-
ton, no shooting of firearms.
1--WE proceeded on the theory"
Hughes explain, ''that in every hu-
man being is a spark of decency, and
if you can free that spark, the flame
of truth is bound to leap outward"
At the end of SO hours of psyche
logical sweating, Hughes had OBJ
tanned from Foster statement Mrs.
Trostell and he had quarreled, she
was taken sick and she jumped into
Athe drainage canal.
Had it not been for this statement,
he police would have had to free
Foster, for the body of Mrs. Tros-
tell has not yet been found.
Now the inquisition is proceeding
with the purpose of wringing from
Foster the truth about some stains
found on his coat and on the running
board of his automobile. These stains
were analysed by an official chemist,
who said they were human blood.
Fosters inquisitors first tried to
build up before his minds eye the
image of the crime of which he was
suspected They held before him
time after time picture of Mrs.
Trostell. Often as many as 80 men
surrounded him and piled him with
questions.
Can't Stick to Lie"
"Ail criminals lie" said Hughes
But rare is the man who can stick
7 to a lie. We find a liar will tell a
Il ifferent version Of the same story to
Il lmost everyone. So we lead sus-

90 up, and finally in his mental
illusion the truth will out.
L This, in effect, is what has hap
pened in Fosters case"
Fosters confession came in the
96th hour when, by pre-arrangement,
Mrs. Trostell's daughter entered the
room and pleaded Historically with
him to tell her where her mother
was.
The spark of decency, according to
police psychologists, burst into the
flame of truth. And then Foster was
led away for few hours rest, after
which the inquisition was renewed.

to her great dismay-that one of

which beautiful women who were
fond Of "white-light" society have
