EXPERTS TESTIFY
SLAYER OF BOY.
INSANE AT TIME

CHICAGO, March .. (H0-Two emil
nent psychiatrists testified today that
Harold j. Croarkin, slayer of six
year-old Walter schmith, Jr., is in
same. but one Of them admitted that
when Croarl1in struck the child with
a blacksmith hammer "he perhaps had
some hazy idea that it was not the
right thing to do"
The prosecution considered that it
had scored a signal point, since the
law defines an insane person as one
unable to distinguish between acts
of right and wrong.
The admission was by DIR. William
j. HicKson, director of the municipal
psychopathic laboratory. He main
tanned, however, that Croarkin since
birth had suffered from dementia
praecox, and is now insane, as he
was when he slew the little boy.
The other defense psychiatrist, with
his knack of translating technical
terminology into language easily un-
ders .ood by the layman, was given
careful attention by the Jurors, who
have been asked by the state to hang
Croarkin.
He is the Rev. DIR. Thomas Moore,
head of the department of psychology
at the Catholic university at Wash
ington and consulting. psychiatrist at
the Mount Hope asylum for the in
lisane at Baltimore,

nifty of the act he committed, his
complete lack of remorse or regret is

SENTENCE GIRL
BANK ROBBER TO
MONTH IN PEN.

VERMILLION S. D., March 9. P)-
Outwardly calm and with no appar-
ent emotion, Marian Myers, former
university coed, heard Circuit Judge
A. B. Beck sentence her to so days
in the state penitentiary today for
her attempt to rob a bank here Feb
ruary last. She had pieaded guilty
to charge of burglary in the third
degree. Sheriff James Partridge took
her to Sioux Falls to begin her term
a few hours after sentence was pro-
nounced.
In passing sentence, Judge Beck
told Miss Myers he believed that she
had not received an 'even break"
from society and that she was en-
titled to- another chance. If he be-
lieved she was a product Of the "jazz
age" Judge Beck said, he would
have been more severe.
The law permits a sentence up to
Is years in prison for third degree
burglary.
Miss Myers was arrested after she
had broken into the First National
bank and attempted to drill open the
vault to obtain $24 for her tuition
at the University of South Dakota
Baked in her attempt to use an
electric drill on the vault because the
cord on the machine would not reach
from the nearest light socket to the
vault door, she became frightened at
the whirring of an electric clock and
fled.
She left her hat in the bank, how
ever, and when she returned d few
minutes later TO recover it the night
watchman1 investigating severed tele-
phone and telegraph wires and open
window in the building, discovered
her.

islature. He was a brother of William

born, a Kentuckian, was 85 years of
age. Most Of his life had been spent
in farming, though his last employ
ment had been in municipal service in

proach the naval problem with

the best naval minds of the country
called in to present the military side
of the question.

From my point of view" he added.

naval power. not TO round out or
round up, not for defense against an
invisible army, but to make the pres
ent fleet serviceable in all its auxil-
iaries and accomplishments.
I'VE are not going to fight England
or any other country, and we should
not let this popular belief warp our
Judgment, but if our military experts
say we need more lighter ships, then
we hsould build them.
There Is too much alarmist talk
and Congress will not be swayed by
it. We want to hear the Presidents
views, then call in naval experts who
can tell us what is needed for ade-
quate defense. 1t will be time then
to take action"
