afford harmless outlet through which, with
out danger 10 others or ourselves, we may
vent suppressed and deep-buried impulses to
kill
II The performers were killed frequently,
the mental result would be harmful-just as
IL was in the days Of the Circus Maximus,
when people grew satiated with violent
death that it took wholesale nQssacres 10
thrill them
Actually, though, serious accidents among
professional daredevils are rare. and few
crowds ever witness such dramatic spectacles
as the one that occurred in st. Louis.
Incidentally, there is another interesting
psychological fact 10 these life-riskng feats
that afford an outlet for some of our mental
gremlins
In the case Of Peters there seems no
doubt that his death occurred as the result
OF mechanical failure Of his rope. But in
other instances IT is 10 be suspected that
daredeviIs are prey 20 subconscious suicidal
impulses even TO the extent that they may
actually kill themselves without realizing what
they intend.
Also, it is possible that this performers
nerves had been shaken by a series Of acct
dents that occurred previous to his act.
A horse had tossed it's cowboy rider against
a side box and he had been carried out Of
the ring.
wild Brahma bull had bucked free Of its
rider, leaped the rail and charged through
the crowd. The rider, crushed against the
same side box, went to the hospital. Another
performer had got into brawl with a spec
tator and stabbed.
Billy Pape, a veteran who had trouped
with Peters for years, had a premonition
that the jinx would put the finger on his
friend, and he had confided it to few
others
1t was a Friday. he pointed out it was
Peters thirteenth year with the hanging act,
and in this performance he was Number
Thirteen on the program
Worst of all. Pape whispered. this would
be the first performance in which Peters

Like This.

Maybe it did not have the stretch of the cables
in the old rope?
Pape and the other troupers doubted that.
Peters would have discovered any lack Of
resency in it when he tested it, they felt
sure STILL it was possibility and they
mentioned it TO the coroner. He ripped the
canvas off the rope, and then they knew what

Others looked for a more ra-

They suspected that something
had gone wrong with the device
which made his act possible. In
side the canvas wrapping Of the
rope were rubber cables whose
residence eased the speed Of the
plunge, and a steel cable. some

What is more they would have re-

eager with interest II another performer
had gone aloft few minutes later and
essayed the same dangerous feat
Yet the people in this crowd were
no different from any other group OF
humane kindly Amercans-such as you
might pick out anywhere on the street.
Why then were they watching with
the subconscious hope that the performer
would be killed? And why were they strangely
and deeply thrilled when the hoped-for ira
gedy actually occurred?
Psychologists who have long puzzled over
this strange qurk Of human natare, think
they have found the solution through recent
delving into our hidden mental processes

tatles as was once thotight because OF some
primitive blood lust" Nor is it altogether
true as had been plausibly conjectured, that
we get a thrill from putting ourselves in
the place OF the daredevil, and enjoying vicari-
ousy the feeling that we have Conquered
death
Actually. psychologists now believe. we
arc fascinated and thrilled by such spectaclcs
because deep within us all, there is a trace
Of homicide.
That is to say each Of us, at one time or
another in life, has had the impulse TO Kill
somebody.
Such impulse may take no more sinister
form than a muttered Il wish so-and-so were
dead"
Usually however, the wish is much
stronger II is the rare person for instance,
who can look back over his childhood with
out recalling some time when he whole
hcartedly wanted 90 kill some Older person
IN authority over him
often. the hated individual is a parent
whom the child eventually comes TO love
deeply. Again, it may be an older brother,
teacher-anyone, in short, who is in a
position to Illustrate or punish.
During the early years Of our lives. these
unsurpassed homicidal impulses accumulate
and sometimes result in real crime More
often, though, acquire sense Of the
moral undcsirabiity Of murder, and as we
grow older forget that We ever entertained
