Everyday Law Cases
What Degree OF Insanity Will
ReIiepe Criminal From
Prosecution?
ny THE COUNSELLOR.

Henry Thomas WIS charged with an
atrocious crime and was speedily
brought to trial.
There was no doubt about his guilt,
his only chance to escape sentence
being a plea of insanity. Realizing
this, his counsel gathered medical ex-
perts to examine the accused and to
testify as to his mental condition.
At the trial the experts testified that
Thomas had only the mentality of o
l4-year -old child and added various
other theories regarding hts mental
condition. The prosecuting attorney
objected to the generalities Of the tes-
timony of the mental experts. A
strenuous discussion arose between the
attorneys as to the extent 'and nature
of proof necessary for a defense of
insanity.
AS a result of the discussion the
court ruled that the testimony should
be confined to meet the following
established principle:
Every man is presumed to be sane
and to- possess a sufficient degree of
reason to be responsible for his crime
until the contrary has been proved to
the courts satisfaction; that to estab-
fish a defense on the ground of in
sanity, it must be clearly proved that
at the time of committing the act, the
party was laboring under such de-
feet of reason from disease of the
mind as not to know the nature and
quality of the act he was doing. or not
to know that he was doing wrong"

and by then things viii clear up. Some
times you don't have TO do anything
about it. The thing is done. the storm
is over, the lesson learned. 1t is not
always necessary to pass law or i'm
pose penalty. There are times when
an offense carries its own punishment.
"A girl had absented herself from
school for 10 days. She had taken
the notices from the school out of the
mail box. She had gone of by herself

the time she was due from school She
had decided to run away from home
and put an end to her misery. when
the teacher visited the house and made
the situation clear. The report card
carried bad news and she had held
the report and stayed away from school.

We are frequently swept off our feet

every so often, such as Coueism, Freu-
dianism, crossword puzzles. psychology

Mob psychology will account for much
of the force in ''isms" There are fads
and fashions in notions, crazes, cures,
beliefs and other ideas, as we'll as in
dress and manners. Therefore, the
same psychological laws will hold for
isms as for styles in dress.
Once an idea or system Of thought
becomes popular the crowd is eager to
be identified with it. They want to be-

Hot.Oil Treatment.

There have been so many requests
for advice ON how to use hot oil Tor
hair troubles that IL seems necessary
to reprint the instructions for giving
this very beneficial scalp treatment.
The uses of the oil treatment are
numerous. It is good for dry hair
that is dull and brittle and for dry
dandruff. The warm oil also helps
loosen greasy, incrusted dandrud
much as cold cream removes CRIME,
oil and makeup from the face. Oil
used in this way does not increase
the natural oiliness of the scalp If 1t is
followed by thorough shampoo and
an astringent scalp tonic.
Oil helps remove unwanted dye from
the hair If 1t is applied frequently and
left on over night or longer. OF course,
the hair must be shampooed between
the oily applications.

Of each other, the bodies Of two well

over the manner Of their deaths.
The first body was found Febru-
ary %. While police were investi~
eating classification clues In Illinois
and Indiana last night, bridge ten
der discovered the second body
floating down the canal. about q
mile from where the first was To-
Gated. An autopsy revealed that the
second boy had been beaten and
strangled and then thrown into the
canal. Drowning was given as the
cause Of death in the February case.
Convinced the two had been slain.
the police suggested two possible
motives. One was that the boys
were attacked BY a moron, bound
and tossed into the water. The 9TH
tiring OF the responsibilities Of pa
heritance, tossed the boys into the
muddy waters. No report OF missing
children have been made i'm this vi
cinity. Scores OF persons viewed the
body Of the first boy found but none
identified him.
TO satisfy themselves that no 9TH
er bodies are in the canal, the police
planned to drag IL for more than B
mile today.
Because the two bodies bore strik-
inR resemblances to each other and
were dressed alike, police and county
coroner believe them 70 be brothers,
apparently from q family in easy
circumstances.
