Violet Sharpe's Suicide.

Hope that the Lndbergh kidnapping
mystery had been solved, which was
raised by the tragedy of the suicide
who was believed to have had dealings
with the stealers of the child, has been
lost In consequence of the later devel-
opments in the case. A man who was
arrested on the suspicion that he was
the companion of the girl on the night
of the kidnapping. has established an
alibi which, apparently, eliminates him
from the case. The reason for the
girls suicide is unexplained, though it
is probable that she had become hys-
terical through the repeated question
ing to which, she was subjected and
perhaps driven to this act by hysteria.
If this girl was innocent of any COM
plicity in the kidnapping her question:
ing by the State police of New Jersey,
protracted long after the event and
about to be resumed when she took
her life, was an act of cruelty which
could be justified only by the persist
ence of suspicion that she was conceal
ing material information the disclosure
of which might lead to the finding of
the child's stealer-slayers. Indignation
at the treatment Of the girl has been
expressed in London, and a parlia-
mentary protest addressed to the Gov
eminent of the United States has been
demanded. If this should be done no
reply could be given from Washington
other than an expression Of regret as
to the action of the New Jersey au-
thorities, over whom the Federal Gov
eminent has no jurisdiction and for
whom it is not responsible. The rec
ords of diplomacy contain many such
instances.
A feeling prevails that the handling
of the Lindbergh kidnapping case in New
Jersey has been inept and inefficient. 1t
has certainly been ineffective. The
whole affair has been marked by
laundering The early investigation was
clumsy. The case was simply beyond
the capacity Of the State police organ
ization. The services of the most expert
criminal Investigators should have been
secured. The case, il fact, should have
been turned over to the Federal author
tiles for inquiry if not for final action.
Had there been a central directing head
for the prosecution of this search, for
the child and for the kidnapers, heavy
pecuniary losses would probably have
been avoided, much agony of mind
allayed, and possibly success scored in
the identification and capture of the
wretches who perpetrated this diabolical
crime. The child, as facts have proved,
could not have been saved, however
prompt and eficient the search.
The suicide of Violet Sharpe may in
fact have been due to the possession Of
guilty knowledge Of the crime. She is
not necessarily cleared by the appar-
entity effective alibi of Brinkert. She
may have been concealing a secret
affecting only her own reputation. She
NAV have been wholly innocent of any
indiscretion, but rendered desperate by
the constant quizzing Of those whom
she viewed as prosecutors. If she was
in fact thus innocent her treatment was
a shameful performance. If she was
guilty. 1t was incompetent.

The Argument.

Says Hezekiah Bings.
"A lot more words most eloquent
Will soon be taking wings
Where both experience and youth
On flights Of fancy strive
To gain the lofty realms of Truth
Where Wrong cannot survive.
Let US not disappointed be
If we cannot attain
With swiftness all reforms which we
Have often sought in vain.
Much will the argument be worth
II this resolve 1t brings:

SO that the case Il . technical one
But it displays an astonishing lack Of

thus ignorant of their responsibility in
this respect. A man who is so

intention, as to approach the defendant
in a case in which he is sitting for
