C. B, formér assistant commissioner of the Metropolitan police of London, de- precates this method of detecting crime as being ineffectual, It is quite Iikely that an innocent person, com- pelled to sit by the side of a murdered child, would show more emotion at the pitiful sight than would a hard- ened eriminal, Tt is probable, too that in the case in point any emotion shown by the drug addict suspect would be due rather to p craving for drugs than to contrition.

They tend to sustain the| belief here expressed that there ure‘ mora ex-service men suffering from the effects of the war than is realized. that they are being discovered, grad- | ually. Such statistics show that the| number of ex-service men in state hospitals in that state increased from | 690 in 1921 to 641 in 1922, more than half of them suffering from chronic mental diseases. At the close of the fiscal year 1,190 ex-service patients remained on the books. These facts should be borne in mind | when considering the ex-service man. By no means all of them who have| not recovered from the effects of the war are being treated. By no mflans; all of them considger themselves in- capicated. They are not built that| way; many do not complain. But re- | member the chap who “does not find | things so e 1s before the war,” and | imagine, if you can—you who did not go through it—what it must have meant to go through minutes, hours, | days when the bursting of shells a\nxll the showering of torn earth told of | the possibility of instant death.

S they had found him asleep, they jumped to the conJ‘ clusion that he was feigning sleep. Whatever a suspect does is apt to be interpreted as evidence of guilt, which fact shows the advisability of relying upon evidence incapable of expressing emotion, such as the surrounding The eminent authority above re-| ferred to shows the fallacy of many o[} the old ideas about crime. One of these is the fallacy that a guilty per- son is forever haunted by memory of An amusing exception| to Basil Thomson's state- ment that criminals are not so| haunted comes in the story President | Harding recently told on himself. .\S{ a 1ad he once innocently threw a stone | which chanced to kill a gander. The crime was lald at the door of a vicious gobbler and little Warren allowed the suspect to be executed, Warren did not stand forth, confess and receive the blame for his act. This “erime’ | says the President, has haunted him constantly, and has had its effect on his whole life, tending to make him crime.
