HOW BRUTALITY HAS GREATED A" BRUTE. In the great State prison of Ohio isa convict whose abnormal mentality is a startling and mysterious study to psy- chologists. He is known as *“The De- mon,” and bears out his sobriquet in the frightful and almost diabolical distortion of face and form. For three years he been caged in a solitary, darksome cell, and during all this time has planned and plotted mur- der. Nevera ray of sunligkt filters into his noisome den, and in the gloom crouches the murderer, gibbaring and bowling at intervals, but always ready for a fierce attack upon whoever approaches. Ira Marlatt, who has won his title of “Demon’’ by his hatred of his fellows, is probably an atavist. He is losing the iikeness of man, and each day sees the marvelcus change to the brute become more marked. He is a living exampie of what many have considered a fancy of criminologists, the reversion to tne orig- inal species. The 1mpress of degeneracy 1s fearfully evident in his countenance, and his man- ner is appalling in its terrible similarity to the savage gorilla who knows no fear nor mercy. Deepset eyes that glow like coals of fire, long square jaws, and great tusklike teeth, with the queerly pointed ears, inclined forward, make up a face that is a nightmare of hideousness. None ever saw him who could forget his awful look of hate and cunning. And yet there are those who say that Mariatt is the product of modern prison methods. One of the most expert spe- cialists in social pathology told me that Marlatt was simply what he had been made by his treatment. That he had the seeds of alavism in his nature was prob- tered by Lhe brutality that seems to be part of the discipline of most penitenti- aries, and which 1n this largest prison of ful results in the diseased brain of the man now called the “'wickedest convict in Ohio.” Marlatt came to his present abode five years ago. He was brougnt heavily man- acler and confined in a straitjacket. Tue officers who accompanied him warned the Warden of the prisoner’s ferocity. But those who remember him as he was then declare that a milder mannered or more crushed-looking man never euterad the gate of the penitentiary. His crime, for which ne received a life Marlatt was a hermit farmer, living alone in a porthern county of the State, and consorting with no one. His reputation was negative and, as he bad lived to be thirty- five years of are with no accusation against him, it is fair to presume that he had injured nobody. A farmer cheated him in a land deal. Marlatt killed him. A posse headed by the Sheriff sought to capture him 1n his hut and he shot dead the leader before beaten iuto insensibility. In jail before his trial, in constant danger cf being Iynched, be acted much like any other person. When he became No. 22,604 in the Ohio penitentiary he betrayed no sizn of the | a synonym for evil, only he refused to work. He said that be had been uniaw- ow, all prisoners must work. To allow one to have his will might ruin the whole system of mmanagement, so said the war- den. So Marlatt was put down in the black | book for punishment. They have gentle ideas, priton guards, and the “‘paddle’ was thought to be the best form of initiation for the stubborn novice. The victim is bent over and his bare flesh beaten t.i1l he promises submission, or— Perhaps he becomes insensible, a merci- ful relief. Mariatt endured the He never whimpered. An electric battery failed to subdue his spirit. Then came the tub. Fastened down in a box, unable to move a muscle, a powerful stream of water is directed tne face. Tre victim is first stunned by the force of the stream, then gasps for breatt, His eyes are hammered shut by the skill of the guard using the bose, and when he opens his mouth the rush of water fills up the stomach and throat and drives the poor devil into un- consciousness. Recovery is attended with distressing sickness. One has experienced ail the terrors of drowning with none of the vleasant sensations spcken of by those rescued from fatal immersion. “Marlatt smiled when asked if he would woik after convalescence. One guard in particular, a director of the punishment, made up his mind that Marlatt would yield in time. And he did. He went upon the stone- pile. This was after being chained face to a wall in a dungeon for iwelve days. The doctor had asserted that he was not crazy. Marlatt broke some rocks ana also the ekull of hi- guard. When the latter was not waiching he took off his sock, put a sione in it and drove consciousness and the opinion that he was conquered out of the unforiunate gnard’s brain, Then began his career of *“Demon.” He broke his irons ard plunged his knife into the breasto! another guard. Fivo men were hardly able to tie him. Solitary confinement for months way prescribed, with bread and water as a diet. He was released on!y to stab again. His dagper was made trom the “shank’’ of his shoe, A consuitation of the authorities ended by Mariatt being put with the insane prisoners in the asyium wing. He had a cell 10 himself and was allowed no exer- cise. The crazy men about him seemed to bave an uncanny attraction toward him. ‘They threw him bits of steel and iron and “paddle” twice. irom these he fashioned weapons. Whenever opportunity offered he tried to kill a guard. More than one who had entered bis cell for some purpose was dozen places.
