tributons In the field. On my return
to this country I established my own
psychiatric hospital and clinic. For the
last six or seven years I have retired
from active practice, although am still
sometimes called into consultation and
have taken such cases as have inter-
ested me from the point Of view Of
research"
You are specialist in nervous and
mental diseaseS?"
"Psychopathology Is my particular
| field-yes."
And have you written anything for
publication on the Subject?"
Il have contributed articles too nu-
merous to mention to the medical jour-
nails of America, France, England, Aus
tria and Germany. I am the author
of several books-'Abnormal Aspects of
Genius Abnormal Behavior in Rela-
ton to Medical Jurisprudence The
Criminal Mind and 'Autistic Thinking
in Normal Life are probably those best
known to the layman."
And you have, I think. served as
alienist in number of criminal cases?"
"As alienist, or sometimes rather as
psychological investigator-yes. 1 was
expert witness for the prosecution in
the case of the people versus James
Kelly, the case Of the people versus Ed
wards and Edwards, the case of the
people versus Mary Emerson. the case
of the people versus Watson and Eaves.
Kelly was condemned TO death; Ed
wards was condemned to death and
his sister to life Imprisonment; Mary
Emerson was convicted, but died before
the date set for execution; Eaves was
too young to receive the death sentence
and Watson, after conviction, was killed

Edna Raleigh, Hubert Smith, Everett
and Laura Connolly and John Potts.

to conduct preliminary investigation
which in some cases prevented the &C
cuSed from coming to trial and in
others identified the criminal who was
being sought. Many of these inveStiga-
tons were such as not to require my
presence in court, but believe they
have been more or less matter OF
public knowledge"
The jury was obviously impressed
The cases mentioned by Dr. Cavanaugh
included a group of the most spec
tacular trials of the last decade. His
name had gone forth in magazines and
newspaper stories as a wizard who
pulled amazing white rabbits of truth
out of the black hat of mysterious cir
cumStance, and his books were written
in a strikingly vivid, though by no
means sensational style, which had
brought them readers far beyond the
circle of his professional confreres.
1t was quite true that, so far as was
known, he had never been engaged tt
investigate a case which he had faileC
to solve, and that the side which secured
his services in trial had invariably

Il believe, doctor, that ~ou have beer
popularity referred to as the man who
makes no mistakes 2"
"Oh, my dear Mr.. Graham!" DR.
Cavanaugh protested amiably. 1--WE
must concede a good deal to popular
