" Mercy killings" were put in a
category with lynchings today by
Fannie Hurst, the writer, COM
menting on the Staying Of Miss
"Allie" Stephens, Atlanta (GaO
cancer patient, by her nephew,
John Stephes, who could not bear
her suffering.
Stephens, 32-year-old church
worker, was freed by a coroner's
jury after he confessed he struck
his aunt over the head with a
flower pot. 1t could not be aScer-
tained if the blow or the progress
of the disease caused her death.
Too Much Savagery
Regardless of sympathy for the
nephew, said Miss Hurst, an at
tempt to kill cannot be condoned.
She said:
"There is too much savagery
just beneath the human cuticle.
Let it out, and it spreads like a
forest fire. There is no border
line; only a hairline between

NewAutO Theft
UskerS Youth
Back TO Cell

Joseph Harley, 28-year-old
colored youth, is back in jail
today after three weeks free
dom. But that freedom will
probably cost him several years
behind the bars.
Harley had just been SEN
fenced to jail for theft of an
automobile when he escaped
from the prison van at the
Courthouse by slipping off his
handouts and mingling with
the crowd.
But he made the mistake of
stealing another car, and yeSter-
day was captured after he had
been wounded in the arm by
detectives. Now he faces trial
on the charge of stealing the
second car in addition to the
first sentence he must serve.

MERCY KILLER
EXONERATED
BY CORONER

ATLANTA, Ca, Dec. 8 QN.S0
Despite his attempt to end merci-
fully the suffering Of a 60-year-
old spinster aunt, John Stephens,
80, walked free today on the
verdict Of a coroner's jury that
death was caused by the ravish-
ments of cancer.
With the explanation, "I
couldn't bear to see her suffer
ing So" Stephens admitted
crashing a heavy flower pot down
on the head Of his cancer
stricken aunt, Miss Allie Stephens.
Near Death Since Tuesday
After hearing the testimony Of
physicians, the coroner's jury de-
cided that the disease from
which she had been suffering
caused the aged woman's death,
and Stephens was freed.
DR.. w. A. Selman testified at
the inquest that Miss Stephens
had been near death since Tues
day night and the blow delivered
by her relative could not have
appreciably hastened the end.
Two relatives of the dead
woman quoted her as saying:
II want somebody to knock
me on the head if it gets where
nothing can be done for me-"
SUFFERED INTENSELY
Stephens told of the close bond
between himself and. his aunt.
He had been caring for her
S1most continuously in recent
weeks. The woman had reared
him from boyhood. He said:
81 was with her all Tuesday
night, and I know her suffer
ing was intense. had been
thinking about this for some
time.
IF she could speak now, 1
know she would say she was
glad the suffering il over"
Miss Stephens belonged to
prominent Atlanta family. For
more than 20 years she had
served as secretary in the office
Of the Baptist Home Mission
Board.

justification and madness. One
cannot break the laws Of life

circumstances"
A protest against allowing the
52-year-old woman to suffer was
voiced by Miss Jane Hoey, of the
welfare council of New York. If
she were in the last stages of can
Ger, she should have been in a hos
pital, said the welfare worker,
where narcotics could have been
administered constantly.
Not With Relatives
Miss Hoey said:
"HOw could anyone have
known surely that she wanted
to die? Sometimes people say
so when they are suffering, and
they don't actually mean it. At
any rate, the decision of life and
death should not be in the
hands Of relatives.
1--WE never know positively
that diseases are incurable.
There have been cancer pa
tientS who have lived from Is

=. ITO maintain the credit OF the Unlteo
States Government" a prerequisite for
borrowing to finance the admlnlstra-
tions gigantic employment and rene1
plans, was the purpose of the economy
act. ,.
Affecting every fiber of national ll1e
from the financial portfolios OF the
banks to him who stands in the pread
line, the credit Of the washington Gov
sernment is a bulWark of American soil
darity.
That it should and must not be I'M
.paired comprised the cry in congress
sional halls for enactment OF TINS law
Public support was pronounced.
: It had been no secret that persons
with funds were beginning to look
askance at the disordered state OF the
Treasury, with deficits plllng up;
HOW long they would continue to lend
to the Government was a question, unit!
President Roosevelt asked and received
this authority to slash expenses rlght
and left.
Veterans Allowances Cut.
Designed also as a step to make gooo
the Democratic platform pledge to cut
Government expenses 25 per cent, the
eronCnv act authorized the President to
slash allowances to all war veterans Dy
various degrees and to cut Federal SAL
aries by 10 per cent.
The veterans benefits were selected
to absorb most CT the shock as they
had reached the astounding total OF a
billion dollars a year-approxlmately
one fourth of the entire budget-ano
were constantly growing.
Also. thousands of veterans were on
the compensation roll who could not
trace their ailments to wartime service.
The administration took the view
this was not the time to continue gra-
tuities.
A howl went up about the veterans.
The first regulations issued by the
President regarded as too severe, were
amended and Congress itself llberalZed
the law
Nevertheless. veterans appropriations
were reduced by about S350000 900. a
House Appropriation Subcommittee has
been created to find ways of curtalllng
other similar permanent annual appro-
priations.
Politics Interfere.
The theory of the salary cuts was
that this item had not been reduced LII
proportion to the drop in the cost of
living.
Therefore. the President was author
lied to determine living costs for the
six months ended June 80, 1928, ana
similar periods, beginning with the lat
ter half of 1882, the percentage differ
ence to be the amount Of salary SLASH.
The cut Of Is per cent was effected for
the year beginning last July l.
Ii the cost Of living rises above the
base period for 1928 the President may
rescind the cut or tighten it.
The economy act made big dent in
the deficit, but even with that the Gov
eminent ended the last fiscal year WITH
its outgo exceeding income by S1,786,
100000 and with public debt Of S22.
623 100000 on July 10, one Of the
largest in history.
So the administration is out to con-
solidate and trim other services, drop
unnecessary employees and furlougn
some.
Political pressure is making the jon
difficult.

Suiting action to the thought. mer-
