When a Doctor Heads
The Police Department
From a htionally read weekly
published in New York, we quote
the following on the Franks murder
case:
"Whether Judge Caverly of Chi-
cage gives the boy murderers of
Robert Franks the maximtfin pen-
alty or not. the case marks a new
attitude toward crime and crimin-
als. Defense lawyers often assumed
the attitude: ‘My client may have
committed this crime, but let’s see
you prove it!‘
"Clarence Darrow. defense lawyer
for Loeb and Leopold. said in effect:
‘My clients did the deed. and we are
going to find out the reason—not the
reason they think they did it for,
but the causes in their training and
character of which they themselves
are not aware.’
"It is true that only rich prison-
ers could afford the expensive psy-
chiatrists who made \his analysis;
but through their wealth these pri-
soners have demonstrated the kind
of Justice every prisoner should
have. The prosecuting attorney’s
rage is natural—for a man who
takes evident delight in inflicting
punishment. Not this case alone is
at stake, but his profession. \Vhen
crime becomes a matter for patholo-
gists, when we cease talking in
terms of guilt and begin to talk in
terms of psychological cause and
prevention, lawyers for criminal

NORWALK
20 YEARS AGO.
hmuhw'm
T‘he followi'iig are taken from the
Sentinel of August 18. 1904:
“The River and Harbor committee
had an excellent oppOrtunity of see~
ing the need of dredging out the
channel of Norwallt harbor and
Nor-walk river for they inspected it
this morning at dead low tide when
in some places it was scarcely
navigable even for small launches.
The committee arrived in South
Norwalk and was taken to the home
of Congressman E. J. Hill in West
avenue in e. special car that is used
by the directors of the Conné'cticut
Railway and Lighting company.
Here a light lunch was spread for
them after which the car took the
party to the head of navigation of
the Norwalk~ river. Five launches
were used to carry the party. they
being Eben Hill's ‘Runchenunnet.’
W’illiam I'nholtz. ‘Kathleen.’ Keogh
Brothers, 'Sara. K' and Henry Con-
rell's launch."
“The members of Buckingham Re-
lief Corp. No. 31. and some friends
pauk. a pleasant surprise Wednesday
afternoon it being the anniversary
of her birth. After spending a social
evening the ladies departed for their
homes wondering who would be the
next victim of surprise."
“George \Vilson, a barber. form-
erly employed by Robert Scalzi. the
South Norwnlk street tonsorial artist
left town Monday night and has not
been seen since."
“Frank H. Merrill is having plans
made for the installation of an end-
less chain and elevator system at.
his recently acquired property at the
pond of the Norwalk Mills com-
pany."
“Another important real estate
transaction whereby the Norwalks
will be materially
consummated yesterday when Thee~
philc Euphrt. the 'well known real
estate financier disposed of his
handsome property in West Nor-
walk to the Holy Ghost Fathers.
This is a religious order which has
had it's head quarters in Pittsburgh
for a. number of years. It is purpos-
ed now to .movc the institution to
prosecution—~or defense—may no
longer be needed." '
It is true that we are getting farv
titer and farther away from the idea. ,
that punishment in the great major-
ity of cases prevents crime or the
repetition of crime. In fact, investi-
gation has disclosed that one of the
most fruitful causes of. continued
crime is our prison system.
Hospitals and physicians are the
‘ beet Jailers. Given the backing of
a community and the support of its
judges they in time will be able to
"make-over" or reform most chronic
law‘brcakers.
The average individual who all .11.: _
or commits crimes of violence does
so because “inside" he is "wrong."

tion properly.
in: or some other is over-develop-l
cri.
Those causes. psychologists say. in
most instances, can neither be toned
down or brought up to normal.
This method of treating criminals
will not be adopted generally today
or tomorrow. “'0 are headed to-
ward it. however.
\Vhen it prevails, the chief of po-
lice of Norwalk will be a doctor and
his headquarters will be at the local
hospital. Low-breakers will be
treated as the victims of accident
l cases are today and when finally dis-
charged thoy will not be back-slid-
ing, but up-building members of so-
cicty.
If the grim, terrifying murder
committed by two pampered youths
in Chicago has done nothing else, it
has opened the eyes of many to thcv
fact that acts of violence cannot be
judged and dispensed with by the old
.rigid methods. '
Slowly many are realizing that our
acts of today are deeply rooted in
the past of our yesterdays. that the
parent is more frequently to blame
than the youth. The responsibility
of a father and mother does not end
with sending a child to school. They
must. know what he is doing in
school, and more important. what 'he
is doing after school hours. Life
most frequently is wrecked on ”1’:
shoals of childhood.

should be an adventure. A book
that desn't afford an adventure for
the mind isn't worth reading.
Dreams of An Astronomer. by Ca-
milie Fiammarion. France‘s great
astronomer. affords adventure that
sends the imagination whirling.
In it F‘iammarion takes his read-
ers on a trip to Mars.
"Thirty-seven million miles from
the earth.” he begins the account
of the martian visit. "It is not very
far. astronomically spebking. it is;
in fact, quite near. a few paces
away.
"The World of Mars is the first
station of the Solar system. the
first planet we meet on leaving the
Earth to visit the remote regions of
the heavens.
"The farther we move away from
the earth. the smaller grows the ap- i
parent size of ourown world. Seen
from the Moon. our planet hangs in
the sky like an enormous moon. four
times the size of our own satellite.
and 18 times as luminous. for it is
isolated in space and reflects the
light received from the Sun. as is
done by the moon and the various
planets of the solar system.-
"At the distance of the orbit of
Mars... at the time when the planets
arein greatest proximity (87 mil-
lion miles), the Earth no longer
shows a sensible disc. but is still
the biggest and brightest star in the
entire heavens. The inhabitants of
Mars. therefore. admire us as bril-
liant star in the sky. showing aspects
similar to those which Venus shows
to us. We are weir morning and
evening star. and no doubt their
mythology has erected altars to us."

Fiammarion writes. as if he had
Just returned. "it was about mid-
day on its central meridian. I no-
ticed two small moons revolving
rapidly in their sky. and I alighted
on the slope of a mountain over-,
looking a distant sea. The sea was
shallow‘snd full of water plants.
The panorama reminded me of'that
which one sees from the terrace of
Nice Observatory. and I seemed to
see a Mediterranean of calm water,
of a. rather dark bluish-green color.
