The Real Criminal

Francesca Caruso, uneducated Brooklyn laborer,
has been found guilty of first degree murder and
will, unless some higher court intervenes, die in
the electric chair
Caruso killed Dr. Casper S. Pendoa. He admit
ted it; told the jury how he had done it. Yet the
real culprt in this case is going Free
Here the facts in the case:
Caruso's little boy had sore throat-a very bad
throat. Caruso tried his traditional remedy
CT tying a bit Of colored flannel about the boy
neck but it did no good. So, at the advice Of
neighbors, he called doctor. DR.. Pendola re-
sponded
DR.. Pendoa at once discovered that the boy had
virulent case Of diphthera. He gave him an in
lection of diphthera anti-toxin at cnce, then left
to make other calls, promising to return as soon
possible.
1t was too late. The boy died shortly after the
doctor left. And when the doctor returned Caruso
sprang upon him and choked him to death, crying
that the doctor had, with his needle killed the boy
Technically, of course, Caruso is guilty of MUIR
der.
But ignorance-black, untaught ignorance-waa
the real criminal.
Caruso in its grip Mentally he was in the
middle ages. His ignorance caused DR.. Pendola's
DEATH and will cause his own.
The electric chair will remove Caruso from the
| earthly scene; but the ignorance that moved him
will not be affected. It still exists. 1t turks il
narrow city streets and in country towns, in tene.
ments and on farms, more deadly than the plague.
The country faces no task more pressing than the
task of enlightenng the unfortunate Caruscs who
are its slaves.

No Perfect Crime

Cupdity guided the murderous hands in the Sny-
der murder case. Those who pcrpetrated one Of
the most henous crimes Of the age, found the hus
band no barrier to their illicit relations, but sought
to use his death stepping stone to easy
fortune through insurance upon the victims life.
Mrs. Snyder and her paramour foolishly believed
they had committed perfect crime" which in po-
lice parlance is murder battling solution.
The crime experts found the Snyder case most
easy to detect and unrave Murders planned to
the smallest detail usually give the police little
trouble It is the crime committed on the impulse
! of the moment without deliberaton or attempt
to cover tracks manufacture alibis that stump
and worry the guardians of law and order.
Moralists may seek to draw some lesson from
the columns of nauseatng evidence which the pub
lie has devoured during the last few weeks. There
is nothing new in the various aspects Of the Sny-
der 1t will take its place in the list Of cold
blooded murders acuated by the usual sordd mo-
tives.
Fortunately, justice has been swift in this case.
Both criminals have been convicted and at the
present writing public opinion seems to favor death
as proper penalty for the transgressors. Expe-
rience has proven that the death penalty is most
efficacious deterrent of such crimes. Time may
arouse these sentmentasts who work to prevent
punishment of crimes involving women where a
court seeks to make the penalty fit the crime. If

To no one, not even to Bob Hatha-
way, did Faith ever tell the story
that passed between herself and
Cherry during the hour Faith was
permitted to spend with her sister,
the accused murderess, in her cell
after her fiinting spell that second
TUESDAY, afternoon Of the trial.
The two sisters lay sobbing in each
others arms, on the narrow iron cot
which the county regarded as q bed
good enough for prisoners. And in
that hour Cherry whispered, between
terrible sobs that tore ut Faiths

wedding night, her night of supreme

"But you must see a doctor, darl-

to be acquitted just because the jury
is sorry for me-and it. Oh. Faith, I

For the rest of the hour that had
been granted them, Faith strove, with
all the tenderness and exquisite SYM

the little sister who had been trap

Heroes nf Legend

A few days ago, in the city of Tampa, Fla,
number of old men in gray uniforms gathered for
convention and parade. The city decked itself
with flags and bunting, and did everything city
can do to make these men welcome.
The visitors were members Of the United Confed-
crate Veterans who had worn the gray and
followed the stars and bars in the civil war.
Like the G. A. R., the numbers of this organza-
ton are dwindling. Each year there are fewer to
convene; in the course of very few years the last
confederate veteran, like the last union veteran,
will have gone on. Even today the ranks are very
thinl
Yet there is something highly impressive, to a
thoughtful man, about that gathering in Tampa.
The organization that convened there did not con-
sst merely of small group of bent, aging men,;
nor did the homage that Tampa paid these men
come simply because they were brave men who
had, in time past, risked all for their beliefs.
For the veterans who marched down Tampas
streets did not march alone. Dim, shadowy figures
strobe before and after them long furled battle
flags waved at their van; the echoes of ancient bu
giles rang clear in the air as they passed. Legend

This is very interesting.
1t is somewhat rare fer undergraduates to stand
up in meeting and talk back to the faculty.
1t is even rarer for college students to criticize
any athletic policy which results in winning teams.
The University of Georgia stands high in athletic
rankings; protests against "oxcr-em phasis" on
football or other sports usually from elderly
alumni, not from the students themselves.
All in all, Cheeks articles apparently have
started some talk.
It's strange; but what, in the name Of heaven
can you expect when you urge people to think for
