A Murder In Paradise. BY

g. Co.. Inc: $50
This true story Of murder,
trial and conviction in Lancas-
ter, Pa, In 1850 couldn't be
more timely here. In 1t. the
author painstakingly poses
the question, recently dis
cussed by our Court Of APP
peals: Are the long-accepted
tests for legal insanity ade-
quate to determine criminal
responsibility? In the case Of
Edward Gibbs, defense PSYCHE
artists presented the picture
of an emotionally immature

cution psychiatrist testified
that Gibbs could distinguish
between right and wrong-the
legal test of sanity now re-
jected by the appellate court
here as inadequate. Mr.. Geh-
man. considering the jury's
verdict. asks his readers in
effect: Was justice done? He
cutters his account with more
background detail than neces-
sary, but his study is thorough
and well worth reading.

save the people from sin.
Antonio tried to keep wom-
en-. drink and other entice-
ments of the devil out Of
canudos, but that didn't work
and gradually he withdrew
farther from reality and didn't
much care what his followers
did. A church was built and
many houses. The Conseil-
hero didn't realize at first that
his inner council. the men
who carried out the onerous
duties of provisioning an url-
productive valley that was al
most a desert and keeping
order. were what the people
Of Bahia and Rio de Janeiro
called bandits. He didn't know
at first that they got supplies
at the point Of rifles and
knives. When he did learn. he
rationalized the idea. They
were the Lords anointed:
they must be fed. New fol-
lowers came from all over the
hinterland, for Antonio, like
many another zealot, had rare
magnetism. Z
Armies Routed
The bishop appealed to the
governor of Bahia state. Here
was a charlaton posing as q
priest, whose cutthroat follow
ers were preying on the coun-
tryside. The governor was
Indifferent. but eventually he
was forced to act. Police were
sent. Their skeletons were
later found near Canudos. A
company of the regular army
was dispatched. 1t was am
pushed and destroyed. A mill
tary expedition. Of 5000 was
sent, commanded by q colonel
noted for his ruthless suppress
sion of revolts. But the Cam
udos "army." by then thou
sands strong, equipped with
good weapons and led by an
army deserter, again tri-
umphed. The country was in
an uproar. Finally the high
est ranking officer. a field
marshal, led an army Of TO-
600 against Canudos.
Mr.. Marchal has traced the
background and youth of An
tonic Maciel. He has brought in
a gallery of other persons, most
of them a mixture of various
racial Strains-Indian, Negro,
Portuguese-which resulted in
strength. endurance and also
savagery. There is much
brutality in the Story-there
are several private murders in
addition to highly realistic de-
scriptions of the battles at
CanudoS-but the narrative
brings out. aside from the
main theme, a memorable i'm
preston of the people and the
region at that period.

Gardening With Nature

Reviewed by
SoIIy A. Greenland

Mr.. Wickenden is an expo
nent of organic gardening
that is gardening with COM
post and manure rather than
chemical fertilizers and poison
sprays. His thesis is that ma
lures way, as exemplified by
wild forest and jungle growth,
seems to work better than
mans way-even with benefit
of all the wondrous new chem
icals. Mr.. Wickenden points
out that healthy plants, grown
In soil built up by compost
and manure, will Withstand
attack from insects and dis
ease. He feels that chemicals
are poisoning our soils and
that yields will become poorer
and poorer as the soil becomes
more and more poisoned.
To the sceptical Mr.. Wick
enden can cite these figures
from the Department of Agri-
culture: "Our average yield Of
wheat is approximately II
bushels per acre: In Great
Britain it is "a, in New Zea-
land 36, In Denmark SO. Even
though almost q third Of all
the chemical fertilizers manu-
featured in the free world are
used in this country. our aver
age yields fall far behind those
Of many other countries, some
Of which use insignificant

One must remember. how
ever, that farming in England
and Denmark is more highly
concentrated than it Is in this
country.

Mr.. Marchal, q Belgian
author and journalist who
knows Brazil well, has made
avivid. compelling novel out
of an episode in recent Brazil
ian history little known out
side of that country and per-
haps largely forgotten by Bra
zilians.
The episode is referred to
In the annals Of the South
American republic as the Cam

between 1885 and 1897. Canu-

maps. Sixty years ago 1t was a
name to infiame tempers and
start arguments all over the
vast country. For time 1t
fairly rocked the new republic
to which the monarchy had
recently given way.
While Mr.. MarchaPs novel
has this factual basis, I do not
know how accurately 1t follows
the historical record. Probably
1t was difficult for him, in view
of the strangeness Of the whole
affair and the region involved
remote at that time from

A free-lance religious leader

Their ranks increased, and
finally an aide sold the evan
