But it is too late to learn from

or to be ruled by its wisest men.
Fear POpularizes Verdict
The verdict is popular because the
people are afraid. There is more
crime, they think, than ever before,
and punishments must be increased.
The immensely and enterprise, the
national organization and unity, of
the press, have gathered the vio-
lence Of a continent upon one page
for our ediflcation and delight. We
read, and forget the peacefulness of
our own neighborhood, the compare

are frightened and conclude that half
the world is murderous, and half the
remainder suicidal.

silently, crime has grown. Every

MAN RESEMBLING
BOTH ATTACkER,
SLAYER ESCAPES
No Trace Found of Carter
Case Suspect-Child
Still in Hospital.

A man, appearing nervous and
worried. also answering the general
description of both the slayer of Pa
trolman Charles r. Carter and the
man who attacked q 9-year-old girl
at New Jersey and South, SITS. late
Tuesday, was seen near Lafayette
Rd. and Spring Mill Rd. early today.
He asked passing motorists to
take him to Chicago, it was said.
Capt. Herbert Fletcher sent an
emergency squad to the scene, but
they failed to find any trace of the
man. Further investigation revealed
that he told persons he was para
chute jumper and other stories that
lead police to believe he is the pa
tient of the Central Insane Hospital
who escaped from the grounds Tues
day night.
Condition Serious
The girl attacked, Tuesday is in a
serious condition at city hospital.
The child was on her way to school
and enticed into a vacant house.
Mrs. Myrtle Henderson,, 500 S. New
Jersey St., saw her leave the house
crying, questioned her and called po-
lice. The child, afraid of being tardy
went on to School %, New Jersey
and Merrill SITS. She was taken to
the hospital from there. -
Mrs. Henderson and neighbors
chased the attacker whom she saw
run from the rear of the house, but
he eluded them.
Abandon Theory
Detectives\have discarded the the
DRY that the man who was recently
discharged from Jail, where he
served a thirty;day sentence for
threatening police officers who ar
rested him on an intoxication
charge, had any connection with the
staying of Patrolman Carter at 500
e. Court st. Saturday night.
Detective Captain Jerry kinney
said that officers questioned the man
and that parts of his description
definitely exonerated him.
A man held on $4,000 vagrancy
bond is being questioned concerning
the murder.
