Going right up In the world Is Miss Annette Di0nne. Best singer among the quintuplets, Annette, her instructors say, may climb the ladder of Inusf- cal fame.
 These next two columns will tell something of the personalities of the children, and some of the cute things they do. And before we go any farther, we. might as well frank ly bring up that question of whether the Quints have developed as rapid- ly as other children.
 True, they have bene slow learn-

away to finish her dinner. In an amazingly short time she was back with her plate all clean. The nurse felt 1t was a little too quick, but Emile can eat fast when she wants to, so she got her dessert.
 After the children had gone to bed, the nurse did a little inves- tigating. And in the clothes ham, per, way down beneath the dirty linen, she found Emilie's dinner, neat dumped. Nothing was ever said to Emile about the discovery.
 The children address their nurses as Mile. So-and-So". Except once in a while, when they get real chum- my, they call them Mile. Sissie." They address Dr. Dafoe as "doc- taire".
 There is nothing in their train- ing that stimulates actual work, outside of always cleaning up their playroom when they're through. They enjoy doing it, and do a good job.

get by with it.
 Also, when one does something bad, she'll deny it and say she is one of the others. But apparently she isn't serious, for after little she'll grin, and the secrets out.
 The children have mania for putting things in the nursess' pock- cts. One is likely to come running at any time and bestow upon the nurse a horrible looking worm or beetle.
 The nurse grits her teeth and says, "Oh, thank you SO much, Marie. But we must be careful not to hurt it, so we'll just lay it down here on the grass" The nurse doesn't let on that the worm gives her the creeps, for in the children's teaching there is a defi- mite effrt nt install fear into them.
 PUNISHMENT-
 BUT NO WHIPPING
 The children have never been whipped. But they are punished. A bad deed sends one to "soli- tary" in little room. That is punishment, for they like to be to- gether.

BY the Associated Press,
NEW YORK. Nov. l5.-Robert
Irwin, whose disease warped mind
ranged from creation of promising
sculptures and an ambition for the
ministry to manically twisted jeal-
ousy in which he killed three per-
sons, faced today lifetime in
prison.
He boasted he would be free with
in 10 years.
Psychiatrists predicted. instead,
that he would be dead within five,
victim of tuberculosis.
The 3l-year-old sculptor slayer
bargained protestingly yesterday to
escape the electric chair.
He finally pleaded guilty to sec
ond-degree murder after creating a
courtroom scene, alternately enact
ing a screaming maniac, almost in
coherent, and crafty pleader
against injustice.
Bargains for Old Pants.

with luggage in the Grand Central

his suit for the affections of We
ronica's sister, now Mrs. Ethel Kud-
ner, whom he met as a Gedeon
boarder after his expulsion from
divinity studies at ST. Lawrence
University and release from various
insane asylums.
There was nothing malicious in
what 1 did, Irwin told the court,
as he admitted the slayings.
Screaming, and with hatred in his
eyes, he called the prosecution staff
professional liars" and turned on
his guards to say: How abominably
you treated me! You dirty dogs"
He concluded his colloquy with the
judge by saying: Il prophesy to you
that before 10 years will be out"
The guilty plea was offered before
jury to try him for first-degree
murder had been completed.

District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey said he would demand a SEN
tence of 80 years to life tthe mini
mum is 20 years. for each of the
murders, to run consecutively, in
order that the community be per-
manently protected against Irwin's
possible return to society" Dewey
pointed out Irwin had been commit
ted for insanity five times.
He will be sentenced November
% and be taken to Sing Sing and
from there probably to prison for
the criminal insane.

Of never losing killer to the elec-
