official statement announcing the &C

baton to convicted persons after

warden at the United States Peniten-

FREDERICK, Md. March I9.-Wub
a verdict expected this afternoon. the

been reached.
Case Quickly Presented.
In exactly seven hours yesterday
the State completed it's case against
Swami. six hours of this time was
consumed in detailing circumstances
leading up to a confession made by
Swami the day after the crime and
signed by him in the Baltimore iail
four days later. Milton A. Dashiell.

PRODUCTION of the statement every inch
of the way.
States Attorney William NJ. Storm
finally obtained permission OF tho
court to introduce the statement and
read il to the jury. In 10 Swami said
that on the night before Carpenter
was killed he suggested TO Simmons
that they go stick somebody up"
They went to the bridge between In
dian Head and La Plata. the state
ment said and Swami left Simmons
and went and stood on a hill he
cause he didn't want to get in any
trouble" He heard a shot and then
rejoined Simmons, and Simmons told
him he had to kill man TO get his
money. the statement said.
Both on Stand.
On this confession the State bases
it's main hops of securing the death
penalty. the remainder Of the testi-
mony being from a witness who saw
Swami in the store OF Thomas Taylor,
near La Plata, on the evening before
the crime. Taylor testified that Swami
asked the time three or four times
and left shortly before IL o'clock with
Simmons. Others corroborated this
testimony. The State rested its case
at $50 last night.
The defense launched its attack on
the accuracy of Swans statement
when court convened at $50 this
morning. Dashiell's efforts were di-
rected at proving that the statement
was coerced; that Swami did not go
with Simmons with the intention of
holding up Carpenter, and that he was
not at the scene when the shooting
occurred. Both Swami and Simmons
took the stand for the defense.

into a grimace of merriment now and
then, showing widely separated teeth.
He is tall, white-haired, youngish,
with head that inclines forward
from erect shoulders, and a nervous
way of moving his head in intermit-
tent slight jerks when he is talking. He
has a disconcerting way Of looking
very intently at a person to whom he
has just been introduced and asking
him some unexpected question or
making some remark for which there
is no ready rejoinder. His own re-

The Tattooed Novelist

THE fundamental, fact to bear in
mind concerning capitalist culture
is that it maintains a large class of
people in luxurious idleness; the
cream of labor's product is skinned
off and fed to this class, which rem
ders no service whatever. 1t is not
merely the number of these people,
but the fact that they represent the
goal of aspiration for the rest, and
so what they do and say and think
becomes the standard. Capitalist art
is an art made for parasites, and ex-
lists by clarifying and defending para
sitism; it mirrors the most worthless
elements in society, and serves to in
crease the vices upon which it feeds.
Our fashions in clothes, for example,
are furnished to US by the keepers
OF French mistresses; whatever these
blase persons find alluring is what
our wives and daughters will wear in
the coming season-our wives and
daughters would rather be dead than
behind the times. Or take our NOV
ing pictures-what goes into them is
decided by the keepers of mistresses
in Hollywood; these financially and
sexually potent gentlemen put their
favorites upon the screen, to display
their "charm"--with the result that
q large part of our school children
are set to acting like little harlots.
The novel is enc of the principal
channels through which the ideals and
manners Of Smart" society-that is
TO say, the idle and wasteful part of
the communicative fed to the
masses. Every stenographer and
telephone girl wants to read the 'lat-
est thing'-meaning the newest bit
of depravity which some clever brain
has devised to amuse the chatterers
at fashionable tea-parties. Each sea-
sons sensation must be more "outre"
than the last: we are more bored, and
it takes more to shock us. A gen
GRAFTON ago "Sister Carrie" was sup

The Death of a Clown.
(To Be Continued.)

MARCELLINE, the famous Hippo
iA drome clown is a popular suicide.
That is, our best editors are waxing
philosophical over his voluntary de-
mise. Had he been cub reporter or
college student gone mad from
listening to a goose-step professor,
different editorial attitude would
have been adopted. Sermons would
have been delivered on the democrat
izing effect of jazz on our youth or
the evils of prohibition which drive
the rising generation into the arms
of dishonest bootleggers. Because our
youth must be trained for the
machine, and the devil knows how
many profit-making ideas die with
our yearly crop of juvenile suicides.
Marcelline was a sad but mirth-pro-
voking cynic, who endeared himself to
our prostitute editors, who salve
guilty consciences with the ointment
of futilitarianism. Since nothing
doesn't mean a damn in a thousand
years why not be social pimp while
the going is good The best intel
lectual tools of our ruling classes are
VIGOROUSLY cynical, but unfortunately
they don't commit suicide.

Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday,
John Gilbert, the famous doughboy of
'"The Big Parade" isn't a one-role ac-
tor by any means. His greatest sue
cess was as the American soldier
and now he has turned about and
scored another success just as great
-as young German. 1t proves two
things-one of them that John Gilbert
is an actor who can essay anything
and do great piece of work; another
is that young men are young men the
world over, and the color of the flag
that flies over their native land
doesn't have anything to do with the
color Of the red blood Of youth. All
of which is to say that John Gilbert
has done one Of the greatest pieces of
work in his career in "Flesh and the
DEVIL Metro-G Goldwyn- Mayors adap-
tation Of Sudermann's "The Uudying
Past" He has caught the idealism of
the European youth and tinged it
with the adventurous susceptibility to
feminine charms that the author SO
graphically painted in word pictures;
and from the Sudermann character he
has evolved a new triumph. Greta
Garbo is the heroine, a charming, ex-
otic siren who charms him almost to
doom, literal modern prototype Of
| Germany's legend of the Lorelei; Miss
Garbo establishes a new school of
screen vampire in her role in the new
picture. She is compellingly convinc-
ing and dramatically charming, and
when the Metro-Goldwyn- Mayer stu
dios lured her from Sweden they laid
the foundation for a very great sue
cess. Lars Hanson is a compelling
figure as the wronged husband, and
George Fawcett a dominant character
as the old pastor. William Orlamond
Barbara Kent, Eugene Besserer and
others of note have adequate roles.
