shooting was expressed by DR.. John
B. Byrne, jr., who testified for the
State.
In response to the same long
hypothetical question which had been
put to the two defense psychiatrists,
DR.. Byrne said:
He knew what he was doing. He
knew the act was wrong"
Defense counsel sought unsuccess-
fully to show the jury the foreign
language film "Mayerling," which
Donald said had helped instill in the
girl desire to die for love.
The youth testified that he and
Charlotte wanted to die because that
was the only way we could be to-
gether." He said he figured neither of
their parents would understand" when
they found Charlotte was to have a
baby.
Prosecutor Loscalzo demanded to
know why he didn't carry out the
suicide pact
The boy, dry-lipped, replied, II was
thinking about saving her"
Didn't you intend just to kill
Charlotte and stay alive yourself?"
Il never intended such thing"
did you ever have in mind to marry
the girl?"
1T was always in my mind to marry
her as soon as made enough money
to support her =. I couldn't do any
thing to support myself"
Judge Thomas Downs interposed
"Was there ever at any time anything
said about exactly how you were to
die?"
Il had ideas in my own mind" the
boy replied.
In evidence was an assortment OF
youthful properties "a schoolbae
which a chum said Donald had given
him, saying, Il won't need it again;
a locket with the girls picture, which
the boy said he always carried; note
written on a leaf from a composition
book saying, please bury us together"
Reference to Operas.
There are references to Tristan
and Isolde" Romeo and Juliet" and
to the lovers who died together in the
motion picture "Mayerling."
Charlotte said they had beautiful
ending. 1t would be like the plays
and books the boy testified.
He told how, as they lay on a bed
in his home, Charlotte placed his

BOY UNBALANCED
IN PACT-SLAY|NG
Psychiatrists Agree Youth
Was Temporarily OFF
Mentally.
Hy the Associated Press.

Ey the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, May 26-Two defense
psychiatrists today testified that DON
aid Carroll. 16, was suffering from a
terlaorary mental disorder when he
entered into a suicide pact with his
blond sweetheart last March and shot
her to death.
Assistant District Attorney Joseph
v. Loscalzo, prosecuting the youth on
first degree murder charge, then
called the first OF two psychiatrists of
his own choosing to refute defense
testimony
Sydney Rosenthal, counsel for Car
rol, rested his case after adducing
from Drs. Samuel Feigin and Edward
M. Gould the opinion that the young
defendant was mentally unbalanced
at the time of the killing.
The defense psychiatrists said the
sound of the shot that ended the life
of 18-year-old Charlotte Matthiesen,
an expectant mother. probably snapped
her lover back to his senses.
Carroll testified yesterday that he
did not carry out a suicide pact be-
cause II was thinking about saving
her"
His story Of an ardent episode dur
ing their last hour together was cited
by Dr. Feigin as evidence of temporary
insanity.
Prosecutor Loscalzo asked Dr. Feigin
on cross-examination If he believed
Charlotte was under the domination
of her young sweetheart.
"On the contrary" he replied, from
all I can gather I would say that
Donald was dominated by Charlotte" "

WHAT PRICE COOPERAT ION?


In recent letter. to the Editor in
the Cooperator, appeared a thinly vieled
blast at "certain individuals" who, it
is termed, DO not cooperate with the
transportation Cormi ttee and the bus
company. The basis Of the complaint
seems to be that private automobiles are
being pressed into competitive service
against the busses.
1t is to laugh. Is one expected to
ignore friendship and friendships SER at
vices in order to inflic+ the discom-
forts, whioh be avoided on onest S
friends? If there are fees involved,*
1t mig ght be an issue. The law might
be asked to define the term Common
Carrier. But since automobile manu-
facturers incon iderate enough to
manufacture cars containing more than
one seat, it seems obvious that only
the willfully stingy will ignore that
fact. Furthermore, it appears that
certain schools Of thought choose to
overlook the prime privilege Of
American Citizen the right to life,
liberty and pursuit Of happiness. 1t is
not an esta shed fact, as yet, that the
whole scheme Of life down to the most
minute detail, should be subject to ab-
solute dictati on by self-esteened
Dictator. That point is gravely de-
bata able, and unit such Dictator can
prove claim to diotatorial rights it
seems obvious that. owners Of private
cars will continue to mind their
business and render mremunerative
scrvi ces to their friends, regardless
Of the stupid insinuations, useless
wal lings and ridiculous charges Of the
Transportation Comi ttee, the Bus Company
or just plain Joe Doaks.
*Editor's Note: The letter referred to,
wri tten by Mr.. Leon G. Benefiel, and
appearing on page Of the last issue
Of the Cooperator, specifically applied
only to transportation in private cars
for remunerati on.

Each year since the beginning

group picnics was reached when
over 5000 Twin Citians, a truly
cosmopolitan group, crowded the
spacious picnic grounds and pa
vilion, ate, drank, danced and en-
joyed the bathing beauty contest.
This year the committee expects
last years attendance mark to be

dell, the feather-bedecked scions of
the once-powerful Algonquin nation
leaped and cavorted as the gaping
spectators clutched dripping ice

a rare treat in aboriginal cult. "Chief
