She also said Flores knew he was
poison victim, and although he, too,
knew the name of his slayer, he de-
clined to divulge it.

THE keeping alive of public inter

not have been possible without the
very generous help of the press,

leveled at the press for devoting too
much space to crime news, yet it was
found recently upon investigation In
Pennsylvania that the papers of SO

more space to the subject than at
present. A full knowledge of the
facts, however, is essential if we are
to make progress in reducing crime,
and it is to the press that we must
naturally look to disseminate those
facts"
