McHenry JUDGE SHI1RTLEFF SENTENCESH AUPRIS (Continued from Front Page) get it. He gets money, but not in the ordinary way that a person would get it. ' .Had Plenty of Anybody can get one hundred forty dollars in sixty days by any reasonable amount of toil. The defendant has had thirty or forty different employmehts and jobs. He works at one a short time and then he drifts to another. He Is really and truly what one might call a ne'er-do-well. That Is my impression of the defendant. I would not 'say he is a moron in the full definition of the term but the testimony in this ease very nearly places him in the catagory of a moron, which, as I have come to look into the subject, is not just wnat I thought it was. The word "moron" is from the, Greek "rnwros," meaning dull, foolish. In the Century dictionary, which I think is as authentic as any dictionary there is at the present time, published in 1924, moron is defined as "an individual with arrested intellectual development, whose mentality corresponds to that of a normal child from eight to twelve years of age." I always had supposed that a moron was a person with a child mind and a predisposition to crime or vice of some sort. I find that is not the definition of a moron. A moron is simply a person with a man's body and a man's wishes and a man's passions and a man's desires with a chHcTb mind to guide it. 1 That is all it takes to make a moron, about which we bear so much. Under the definition a child would be included that was normal up until eight years of age or ten years of age and then the development of its mind is arrested and stopped so that it never exceeds the intelligence of a child over twelve years of age; and with that it has the adult body, the adult passions, the adult wishes and the adult necessities with simply a child's mind to guide it and to guard it, like placing a great high-powered engine in the hands of a child to run whose only thought or purpoae is its wish and desire. The Law On Morons I have gone to the books to get all I could on the subject of morons. In People v. Joyce, 233 New York, page 61 the case being found in 134 Northeastern, 836, the Court, in defining a moron, said: "If defendant was what is known in medical jurisprudence as a moron, that is, one whose Intellectual development proceeds normally up to about the eighth year of age, then arrested, never exercises that of a normal child df about twelve years, evidence of such fact was material for consideration by the jury. The fact that the could fool the court Into believing that he was Ninnocent of the premeditation to commit murder. I THINK HE LIED. The only explanation I can find for it is the explanation I have read to you that a child taken in an act says he didn't do it; He denies doing it; he thinks he ha& fooled somebody; he has not fooled anybody. I was interested in the Literary Dl« gwt of two weeks ago,, the issue of August 24, 1929, on page 18. I do not know the writer of the article which is entitled* "Crime and Defective Intelligence." "Diverse' opinions and conflicting evidence on this question, which can not yet be regarded as definitely decided. one way or the other, are presented in an * article, prepared Ifor Science Service (Washington), entitled, 'How Mental Defect's Add to Crime.' The author, beginning with the question. 'For tyow much crime are the mentally defective or mentally diseased responsible?' answers it by saying that there is a great diversity of opinion and a great scarcity of demonstrated fact. He then quotes a very recent expression on the subject from a leading editorial in The Mental Hygfene BnUetln, published by the national committee for mental hygiene. This runs as follows: " 'It is estimated that about two per cent of the general population are mentally defective. That is, about one-fiftieth are more or less lacking in brains. But this one-fiftieth produces one-fourth or one-third of the prison population; so that as a matter of fact many more criminals are SEVENTY-FIVE YEARS. Under the terms of the law he is not permitted lo be paroled until the end of that term. I haven't any question in sayirg that the defendant here is the n ost highly dangerous man that could be picked from any community to be at large. The act he did he would be liable to commit again. Society would be in danger at any moment that he was free. There should be in the state of Illinois some proper place for the confinement of such persons. There is none now--I hope there will be in the future. Before I fix the term of the sentence 1 want to consult with Mr. Lumley, the state's attorney, and Mr. Lyons. I shall not In this case enter the death penalty. My idea is to make it a penalty of seventy-five years in the 1 enitentiary, with the recommendation from this Court as to the defendant just as I have stated. He is a most highly dangerous man to be at large. He should never be paroled. He should never be given his liberty, tut for the reasons stated I shall not enter the full penalty of the law. (Here the Court conferred with Mr. Lumley and Mr, Lyons). Coart Passes Sentence THE COURT: Haupris, stai^'%*. (the defendant rises). THE COURT: Have you anything to say why sentence shouldn't be passed cn you at this time? • HAUPRIS: No, sir, I have not. THE COURT: The Sentence of this court is that you be taken by ths sheriff of McHenry county from the bur of this court to the county jail Chauploa Egg Layer Delicate instruments recently devised have proven' that the oyster to not as silent as it has been supposed, for there is a constant undertone to be heard In the oyster beds.

Take the prisoner away. caps than the more intellectual _ " groups and they need protection, training of a special sort, and super- 1 vision to steer them into blameless living.' " la Haaprls a Merea How much there may be to that I do not know. It is a subject that is largely in the embryo, not thoroughly understood, but it is being studied to some extent. It iloes apply to the defendant in this case. He is twenty-six years of age. In my candid judgment, from the proofs heard here, I do not believe that he mentally functions over fifteen years of age--more likely twelve. He is guided only by his wishes, his wants and his desires. He takes no job and holds it. He knows right from wrong but he does not know the foundation principle of whythings that are right are right, or why things t£at are wrong are wrong. The purpose of penalties to deter others from committing the same offense have about them some system and order, and by that I mean this: If I had a child before me eight years of age that pleaded guilty to committing murder, I would say the only defendant denied that he made theibeneflt of lts operation as_a deterrent statements testified to by the officers, was not a legitimate reason for a rejection of the evidence. Such denials, would not conclude him from offering such proof, or his counsel from arguing that in the event he made such statements he was not of sufficient mentality to understand what he was stating, or that his mind was controlled by a auperior force or intellect." There is more then in a West Virginia case--State of West Tlrglnla v. Driver, found in 107 Southeastern, 189, and 15 American Law Reports, page 917--where they raised the question from another viewpoint. It says: Wlhen the state rested Dr. L. V. would be upon other children eight years of age of the same class and of the same kind. What I mean by that is, that to sentence a child eight years of age to execution in order to de ter others would have no effect upon the mentally equipped criminal of full age and full reasoning. It would only tend on his part to make him laugh at the law and society in general to want to avenge itself against the law. ^ In words, it is using vengeance by way of punishment and not discretion by way of a deterrent. It would be no more deterrent of other crimes than' to call in fifty or one hundred citi- Sovrewn From Garden of Eden for Tourist* It, on your vacntioq you happen to stumble Into the towri of Qurna at the junction of the Tigris and Euphrates rivers you may not be impressed by the scenery or the city but you will soon be informed that It is the site of the Garden of Eden and to prove It you will be shown the "Tree of Knowledge," says a writer In the Washington Star.

It would have the opposite ef feet the same as the effect in England when they penalized the death penalty for over one hundred different crimes. In other words, there is system and order about everything. Mentally Not Aa Adatt I am fully convinced from all the proof that mentally this defendant is not an adult, responsible for what he does in the manner and way that aa adult, intelligent person would be. At least, 1 am so much impressed that that may be so that I hesitate to enforce the full penalty of the law and cause him to be executed. If he were, as' he is, twenty-six years of age, and of the same mentality that the larger part of us are in thfs audience here today, for the crime committed I would not hesitate one moment to say that the best interests of society in McHenry county and the state of Illinois called for the death penalty. Under the circumstances, taking into consideration his mental make->up, the pursuit of his childish wishes and much more than j desires in the bungling, unaccountable They are usually i method and manner that he pursued, by the defendant, and, after having qualified as an expert by showing his long familiarity and practice as a physician with nervous diseases generally, and with lunatics and imbeciles, he was asked it he was familiar with the class of people known as 'morons.' He answered in the affirmative, and proceded to explain what is meant by the term 'moron,' and defined a moron to be a high-grade mental defective, or highgrade feeble-minded. " 'It may be applied where there Is a moral defectiveness, or where there is a mental defectiveness, or where there are both. Usually it is both, but sometimes the defectiveness is in the moral make-up more than the mental, or may be vice versa. The characteristics as to be expected by what I have said in regard to being defective, delinquent, usually get into trouble unless they are carefully guided, and take to evil habits if their surroundings ahdA environment are of evil nature, or if they are permitted to hunt evil associates. They drift toward the bad toward the good. notorious liars, fail to adjust themselves In their surroundings, and make up very largely the class known as never-do-wells, the class of people who can't get along; and to the layman he does not understand why it is such a boy or girl does not got along, but, upon careful examination by persons who are competent to make that examination, the defect is usually detected with more or less ease; but some cases require considerable observation to detect the Refect. They may be perfect in their physical make-up. ^ome Of them are very sprightly in their mental makeup. so far as superficial appearances are concerned, but a careful examinatioir~ by a party competent to make that examination readily detects the defect, with the exception of a few cases which require prolonged observation.' " HaipriV Testimony '• In this case there is considerable amount of the defendants testimony upon the witness stand that was not true. He tells his story up to a certain point a$d then says he doesn't remember what took place. He wants the courts to believe tha/t his mind became a blank. I did not believe that when he was testifying to it and i do not believe it now. I think in his mathnii nf fPftgnning he thought he all of which strengthen my opinion as to my judgment of his mentality, I hesitate to enforce the death penalty. The strong argument Cor it and the argument that makes it very hard to get away from Is the law of this state that permits of parole to a life termer after he has served twenty years. Bedford, with intelligence, with design and with permeditated murder in his heart, committed a foul murder in this county, served fifteen or sixteen years and Is now at large. I believe he escaped before his twenty years were up. Another case was equally ferocious. Ellsworth killed his father and his mother and another--fully equipped mentally, responsible, for everything he did, did it to cftllect insurance. At the end of twenty years he secured a parole and is now at large and free. The action of the parole board in ether cases is inexcusable. Such men Should not be at large and it is the one stumbling block in this cane that I have more trouble in getting around titan any other; but I am not responsible for what governors do or what parole boards dQ. Seventy-Five Years My idea is, following a precedent in one or two other cases where a defendant has been sentenced not for Ute bat tec a tea* term of jrspfs.

Phone,^S-R.2 Poliih Mourniag Tnditiou Polish tradition Is very strict as regards mourning, at least in the caSe of women. Mourning Is signified above all by a black hat and veil. In the hard postwar years poverty compelled opinion to accept any dark-colored dress and coat, even at the funeral itself. The bat and veil are worn, not only by women but also by girla of all ages^ from ten upward. It is quite common to see a schoolgirl running about with a veil trailing behind her such as only an old-fashioned widow would wear la western Europe or America.
