J. The reports which appeared stated that the murdered man‘s wife, Mrs. Mary J. Wilhelm, and a man named Nicholas Bicea, who are in custody charged with the crime, were subjected to the most revolting measures in the effort to seâ€" <ure admissions from them. Referring to the Newark case, one «ol the foremost criminologists in Canâ€" «daâ€"where, he said, ho knew of no «ceason on which coercion was used to make a prisoner speakâ€"remarked that such m loathsome thing as to <arry the corpse back to the scene of the erime and make the suspected man wiumble over it in the dark, and then, us be lay on top of the body, to switeh on a blaze of light; or to take the dead man‘s wife to the morgue at midnight, without giving her any inkling of where she was going, «ind to suddenly [ut her into the room where her husâ€" and was laid out in death, wasâ€"why, the idea was unspeakably _ répugnant that it was hard to credit it to even w police officer. Both of these happen ings are said to have occurred in the initiation of the two prisoners in the Newark tragedy referred to, but they wre emphatically denied by the Chief «of Palice of that city. The Newark murder and the process The Newark murder and the process «wdopted by the police to extract infor mation are #so recent and fresh in the public mind that it is hardly worth while recounting all the details. Other Anstances of the "third degree" are not Jacking. ORIGIN OF THE "THIRD DEGREE." Before going further, however, the «rigin of the order known as the "third «degree"â€"or at least the accepted exâ€" ;Emdowâ€" might be given. To Chicago de ascribed the doubtful honor of coinâ€" Ang the phrase, if not the inquisitorial wystem which it signifies. _ Â¥ ‘The Montreal Herald, cogumenting on It, points out that foreign writers, unâ€" fumiliar with the broad spirit of British institutions which pervades awery agency The "third degree" is a term one fre quently hears applied in big criminal sases in Uncle Sam‘s domains, but it is doubtful if a majority of people in any city on this side of the frontier know its meaning, for it is not tolerated in Canâ€" wdu. lt is frowned down by Canadian jurisprudence. In brief, the "third deâ€" yree" is a "confession‘" obtained from a prisoner under duress and by means of force. of the yovernment in its relstionship to the private citizen, of course cannodt unâ€" «derstand _ why an individuat Ar'lllt whom there is nothing but suspicion is not placed under duress and "made to tell" what he or she knows. The Herald publishes the following special article by Maxwell Smith, showâ€" Ing how the "third degree‘" is worked in United Stutes cities and elsewhere. Are all the horrible phases of the "third degree" published in the newsâ€" pupers the truth, or a% they only canâ€" arde aiming at sensatpnalism? The apparatus, if it might be so called, ‘which trnt.('hicago police brought into being, consisted of a cell that comd be « gradually heated to $A insufferable temâ€" , perature. . There were three specified *"degrees" of heat employed: First, seeâ€" +ond and third; and no man could possiâ€" ‘bly endure for long the limit of the "‘t{ird degree." Anyone who did hold â€"out watil the "third degree" was reached ~was in the position of being literally +sooked alive, andâ€"this speaks eloquentâ€" Jy of the depth of the tortureâ€"there is mo record of a single case wherein the person incarcerated in the "oven" !‘hflox.to "taik." NOW AIMS AT THE MIND. Whether this cell is still in existence «or not no one appears to know, but it 4s very unlikely. In the inevitable proâ€" esss of evolution the "third degree" asâ€" meumed a subtlety greater than the maâ€" «chinations of Torquemada; instead of racking the sensitive norves with disâ€" «zomfort and pain, it strikes at a higher menseâ€"that of the mind. From a mere «ordinary torture it has become a method Aevilish in its cunning, which, insidiousâ€" 3y working upon the brain, saps the w life out of a man, robs him of all -3»., and brings him to a state of wtter mental collapse. And as this is generally ueo,pnh:l l:y lknilJunflot the ‘m.,"i;)wwq lowed from tha :uk murder. 1 in -:t- cases | ‘Years ago, it is told, when Chicago earned Its title of "the toughest city in America," the greater part of its popuâ€" lution was of such a motley and scounâ€" drelly nature that, to gain information and auppress crime the most extreme measures were necessary. . Crime was then so rampant in the Wind{ City, and the malefactors so flagrantly scornful of the law that the police were at their wite‘ ‘end to find means to secure conâ€" victions, when they instituted a torture under which the most hardy wilted, and if there was nothing to tell, would make The widespread public interest in the Kinrade murder mystery has served to eall attention to the different methods of ferreting out crimes pursued by the police of Kurope, the United States and (anada, and particulatly in view of the comments made by newspapermen from wcross the border, in attendance at the coromer‘s investigation, who have made special allusion to the fact that the poâ€" lice here ignore the "third degree." But is Tabocsed by the Courts in HOW THIRD DEGREE GOES. There is one case which the writer reâ€" «culls in which the victim was driven perâ€" mu{l insane. It occurred in a large â€"ity in Michigan. A young man was acâ€" cueed of the murder of his employer, but w innocence. The police were that he was the slayer, but Jucked sufficient evidence to conviet .him, so, after all other expedients had been tried, resort was made to the ‘Third A System That is Widely Used in up a storyâ€"anything to escape the ter n&k "third degree." _ _ 7” physical functions of the body the reâ€" ::(! attained is pitiful.

In the court the prisoner sat a huddled heap, with bent head and glassy eyes; a twitching bundle of nerves; a veritable imbecile. . At no part of the proceedings did he show any sign of inverest; he was incapable of beâ€" ing interested; what little of his brain was left could not grasp the events that were happening. All the time he was waiting, waiting, waiting, like a caged unimal, for the only thing he could exâ€" pect: waiting for a further volley of questions. Overcome by & torture which surpassed a millionfold anything the old Spanish inquisitors ever attempted, there was only room for one idet in the wretched, enfeebled mind; they would come and ask questions; what would they bet what were the ans wers ?!â€"quesâ€" tions, questions, always questions. + Bowed, broken, a wreck; a man but in form, he was committed to the State Prison for life, But his stay there was a short one; he was removed to the proper fiwe within a very few daysâ€"the State Asylum for the Criminal Insane, He who at the time of his arrest had been a sane, healthy man, was & cripple in mind and body; an idiot; a bent, sagâ€" ging heap of nervesâ€"& product of the "Third Degree."

Was ho a cate paw to save the police the trouble of seeking the real perpetrator of the outâ€" rage? He was convicted, to be sure, but he was mad at the time of his trial. Even the "Third Degree" had failed to drag from him a confession. A CANADIAN CASE. The foregoing story brings up a case of a similar nature, in so far as it was a preying on the mind without any bodily violence, in Canadaâ€"the only one on record. The Canadian case was nothing like so protractedâ€"it lasted but a couple of hoursâ€"and while it was the practice of the "third degree," it was in & mild form and unattended by any of the terâ€" rible incidents which usually make up the American procedure. The occurrence, of quite recent date, was in respect to a particularly brutal killing, in which both an axe and a shotâ€" gun kad been used. The crime took place in a country town, and through clever and quick work on the part of the detectives a man was speedily in cusâ€" tody. He was arrested some distance from the county seat, and as that was the location of the nearest jail, _ and there was no railway connection, a horse and rig were procured to convey him to the lockup. \ As they wore getting into the rig one of the officers conceived the idea of placâ€" ing the azse and gun, which had also been secured, in front of the prisoner to see what effect their presence would have on him. Accordingly, they were stood up against the side of the wu{ou in full view of the prisoner, and that the scheme might be fully worked out, a circuitous route was taken to the jail. Before they had gone far one of the Jeâ€" tectives contrived to rattle the blade of the aze against the gunâ€"barrel. The manâ€" ceuvre had an immediate result. When the weapons came into contact with a clear cold rattle the prisoner was observâ€" ed to shudder and turn his head away. PRISONER BROKE DOWN. More convinced than ever that they had the right man, the detectives stt about playing the game for all it was worth,. Miles and miles they drove, +nd every few minutes the aze blade aud n barrel clashed against each othor. geh time the sound aroso the agitation of the prisoner increased. He shuffiel his feet. moved his position many times to the minute, and looked evarywhere but at the aze u‘d.:::'lan and more restloss he got, â€"‘vith.

CATARRHOZONE who murdered the Jew in "The Bells"â€"â€" when the metals were now actually ratâ€" tling, his imagination conjured up the sound. At last, when the detectives were wondering how ‘"much‘"" _ longer they would have to drive round about their destination, he broke down totally and confessed to the murder. Of course, a confession or information extracted by means of threats, torture or promises of benefit is not permissible by law, but in the case just mentioned no such thing was attempted. The matâ€" ter was simply one of making a suggesâ€" tion which, preying on a guilty counâ€" science, bore fruit. It was therefore quite within the letter of the statute, which, regretfully, cannot be said of the methods of the United States police. _ There is not a little similarity between some phases of the American third deâ€" gree process in its later refinements and the French system of detective work known as the "reconstruction" system. In the latter an effort is made to take the suspect through the whole performâ€" ance of the crime, repeating all the events and cireumstances connected with it, and making the suspect himself go through the actions ascribed to the doer of the crime, as far as possible exactly as if the thing were being done over again. The object of all this is partly the psychological effect upon the susâ€" pect, but part‘y also to give the police an aceurate notion of the attendant . cirâ€" eumstances from which they often deâ€" rive valnable pointers. . $ Only one case is recollected, south of the line, in which the court declined to allow a confession gained through the "third degree," although the law there regarding threats, etc., is the same as in Canada. That was the murder of a woman in Detroit, of which a young Canadian was accused, about eighteen months ago. Notwithstanding the conâ€" fession he was mequitted. J The French and American systems have undoubtedly reacted on one another to a considerable degree. A case in Michigan not long ago was virtually "reconstructâ€" ed" in full detail, with good results, The case was one arising from a violation of the tenth commandment: "Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor‘s wife." A man was in love with another‘s wife and, wishing to have her for his own, he proceeded to remove the stumbling block, that is, the husband. The "love pirate" boarded with the couple, so that the work was infinitely more easy than under orâ€" dinary _ cireumstances, and one night when he was alone in the house with his rival, overeome by his allâ€"consuming passion for the woman, he killed him. The murderer had an express wagon, and having stowed the body in a trunk he drove it right across the city and cast it into a swamp, under the impression that it would be immediately swallowed up and the man‘s disappearance conseâ€" quently enshrouded in mystery for everâ€" more. He thought wrong. _ s Within a few hours the body was disâ€" covered and identified, and, the murâ€" derer‘s love for the newlyâ€"made widow being well known, suspicion at once fastâ€" ened upon him,. _ People who had seen him driving across the city when he had the body on the trunk as a passenger was found and with these posted at the various points they had occupied at the time he passed, the suspect, under the direction of detectives, was made to reâ€" cover the route over which he had driven the body, so that he might be identified and the net drawn closer around him. His nervousness increased as the jourâ€" ney progressed, but had he known what awaited him at the other end of the ride he would probably haye refused to go on,sfor when they ultimately arrived at the swamp, there _ the police had the corpse stretched out for his benefit. A von(euioc resulted, and, backed as this was by ‘the identification of the horse, the vehicle, and the man, by the people who had been posted along the way, he was sentenced to life imprisonment, In this incident there was nothing especially abhorrent except that the body of the murdered man might have been given its place in the mortuary decently and subâ€" stituted by a dummy, The above instances serve to illustrate the working of the "third _ degree" against which there is always a storm of condemnation when the story leaks out. The practice may be reprehensible in some respects, but in others it has its good points, and while it savors of the barbarous, that some such measure is eesential with criminals who are known to be guilty, but against whom proof cannot be found, seems, looked at from an unprejudiced ‘otnn&point, right enâ€" ough. Why should a person whose guilt is beyond %neltion. be allowed to go free on account of lack of evidenceâ€"and there are many that wayâ€"when he can be persuaded to confess? That is how the police in the United States consider the matter, The fact that they knowâ€"they have the right man does not exonerate them if he was to be released. They are called inâ€" efficient and many other hard names if they do not make arrests for crimes, but arrests are no good if a conviction canâ€" not hbe secured. "We aré ‘inefficient‘ if we do not get a conviction,‘ they argue, "Why, therefore, let this manâ€"who we are convinced is guiltyâ€"go free because there is not enough known evidence to convict him? If the ‘third degree‘ will extract a confession, why not initiate him?" And there is some sense in that line of reasoning. fast.

Steele, Toronto, in Presbyâ€" terian.) y The Roman Herald of Apris 1906 says: "Nince 1870, when the Italian army enâ€" tered Rome, the really imposing cereâ€" monies, gorgeous processions, and other services which the Roman Church upheld have not taken place. 4 [ oe, The beautiful services formerly held in St. Peter‘s on Easter Sunday, so often described, when the Pope gave his wiessâ€" ing, from the baleony overlooking tne huge Piazza, in front of the great basitâ€" ica when thousands are gathered, kne«iâ€" ing in silent devotion, are a thing of ine past. _ The italians hoped that the gresent Pope Pius X. would restore some of these grand ceremonies, but he has not «one 80. ‘‘The silver trumnmets, which those who have heard, say can never be forgotten, no longer ring their clear, shrill blast, as a symbol to the faithful, of the last great voice." All the services in which the Pope takes part at Easter are held in the misâ€" tine Chapel, and as the chapel is small, tickets of admission are ditficult to obâ€" tain. Although there are many things which now belong to the past there is still enough of grand and impressive cereâ€" monial to interest the visitor even to the point of utter wesriness. It is said that during Easter week there were 200,000 tourists and visitors in Rome last year. Prices wore quad: rupled, hotel pariors and cafes were used as sleeping rooms, and it was whispered that people were even sleeping in cabs. The eruptions of Vesuvius at Naples caused the tourists there to rush o Rome, and swelled the crowds greatly. Our party, having been in Rome for some time, was comfortably ensconced in a good pension, The Easter season is the most delightâ€" ful in which to visit Rome, as the vioâ€" lets, liliea, wallâ€"flowers, anemones, the hyacinths and tulips and other tiowers are radiart in all uneir splendid glory. But _ the English _ and American churches are well worth a visit during HMoly:«Week, when altar and choir are a mass of blossoms, every choice flowering plant being alternated with a palm. _ The city where Paul is known to have spent the closing years of his life, and in which Peter is reputed to have walked and taught the truths of the gospel and died for them, cannot fail to awaken fcelings of veneration amt awe, and to many the soil stained by martyred blood is sacred ground. Holy Week begins on Palm Sunday, just a week before Easter day. r‘alm Bunday, of course, commemorates «ae triumphal entry of Christ into Jerusaâ€" lem and in imitation of the memorable procession palms are distributed in all the churches. ‘the chief sacristan brings in an armful of palms, about three feet long and resembling walking sticks dressâ€" ed in strips of yellow straw, with bleachâ€" ed palm leaves tied on them in a tasteâ€" ful but artificial way. Palm growing tor this ceremony is carried on extensively between Nice and Genoa. _ ‘The Bresci family has provided the Pope with speâ€" cial palms since the time of Sixtus V., who gave the exclusive privilege, Strange to say, during all the solemn services of the week all the shops are open, concerts and some other forms of amusements are permitted, but theatâ€" ricals are strictly forbidden. The chief exiernal difference is in the churches, where altars, erucifixes and pictures are generally put into mourning. In the Church of St. John Lateran, where the services are even more imposâ€" ing than in St. Peter‘s, fifty priests, by actual count, in gorgeously colored emâ€" broidered robes, marched up and down the aisles holding their.palms aloft and singing and clhantingas they went. Passing the palace of Queen Marguerâ€" ite on our way home from the service, she drove through the gate in her autoâ€" mobile. _ Noticimg two ladies walking slowly, she bowed and smiled sweetly, A beautiful woman is Queen Marguerite. She is a lady of queenly bearing and alâ€" ways wears many strings of rich pearls. Her only outriders were four men on bicycles, two on each side, keeping pace with her automobile. But to return. There is nothing speâ€" cially distinctivs in the services on Monâ€" day and Tuesday, which are held in all the churches, beginning early in the morning and continuing until late at night. Â¥ ‘The most impressive functions begin on Wednesday, when the ‘Tenebrae is sung in all the churches. The service reâ€" calls the darkness which covered the earth at the crucifixion. On Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday the Church allows no hymms of rejoicing to be sung. Passâ€" ages of Beripture and extracts from the fathers are recited or «hanted expressin, sorrow and lamentation for the genth o% Christ. On the left of the altar is placed a triangular candlestick in which f‘i’fteen tapers are fixed. These equal in number the fifteen psalims that are sung, one candle being extinguished after each fsalm until the last one alone remains ighted. The one still burning is careâ€" fully removed and reproduced after the service as a symbol of the Resurrection The fourteen canaies are supposed to re Etuent the twelve apostles and the two oly water.

Dining With the Hangman. In "The Comic Side of Crime" in the February _ Strand _ Magazine, â€" Harry Furniss tells a somewhat startling story of the Hon, Lewis Wingfield, a weliâ€"known figure in Bohemian society in London _ some (thirty . years ago. Wingfield wasa man of a particularly morbid turn of mind and made quite a friend of Marwood, who was at that time the official hangman. _ }ie once invited this interesting character *to take dinner with him at Powerscourt, his beautiful Dublin estate; and _ as Wingfield was anxious that his domesâ€" tics should not discover who his guest was, the conversation did not turn, during dinner, on criminals or hangâ€" ing. His butler was an old and valued servant, and when he was in the room Wingfield was careful to refer only to general _ topics and avoid the one which he and his guest had met to disâ€" euss, But to the host‘s horror, the hangâ€" man kept looking at his watch, and once or twice, when the butler was in the room, he would say: "Ah, they‘re giving it to them now. Yes, ves; it‘s about time now it was QGravel Easily and Naturalâ€" ly Cured by Dodd‘s Kidney Pilis. "Fiogging! (Criminals!

"1 suffered intense pain from gravel and other urinary troubles for nine months," Mr. Pelrine says, "But seven boxes of Dodd‘s Kidney Pills cured me completely. 1 heartily recommend Dodd‘s Kidney Pills to anyone who is suffering from gravel or urinary troubles." Wingfield was on , pins apd needies leat his guest should, in his excitement, disclose the names of the poor victims. As soom.as they were alone, he said: "Who are they!

The urinary organs are entirely dependent on the kidneys. If the kidneys are not in good working order they cannot filter ont the uric acid and it combines with other products of the body and causes gravel. _ Healthy kidneys dissolve the stones and they pass off in the urine. That‘s why Dodd‘s Kidney Pills always cure gravel.

Concealed in Master‘s Pocket He Following a shabbily dressed man, whose visits to various establishments were always associated with theft, the Paris police have stumbled on the extra ordinary Tact of a monkey heing employâ€" ¢d for shoplifting purposes, On Tuesday afternoon the man enterâ€" ed a large emporium, and was soon inâ€" quiring the price of diiferent trinkets. As the salesman was answering his quesâ€" tions a queerâ€"looking head was seen to peep out of a pocket of his overcoat, and soon a paw followed, with the result that several rings left that particnlar stand, entering into the selfsame pocket with the paw, and then the head. Presently the visitor, after thanking the salesman for his information, mo\'ox on to a counter where lace was laid out in tempting array. The employee was requested to show some of the most valâ€" uable samples, and once more the head and paw emerged from the pocket, and one of the finest pieces promptly disapâ€" peared into that recess, The detectives walked up to the vimiâ€" tor, and at once arrested him, They also captured the monkey, forâ€"such it was, which he had trained to grab at goods while he was keeping the vendors enâ€" grossed by his questions as to prices and quality, x The man, who is an acrobat‘e performâ€" er at fairs, percelving that the game was up, submitted mildly, but his companion did not take his own arrest so philosoâ€" phically, and resisted fiercely., Spent Dollars in Vain but Zamâ€"Buk â€" The man was taken to the depot of the Prefecture of Police, and the lareenâ€" ous monkey to the pound. Following we give the testimony of a lady who i{f she had known of Zamâ€"Buk earlier would have been saved nine weeks‘ agony: Mrs. Frederick Bryant, of 109 Railway Aveâ€" nue, Stratford, Out., says:â€"*"I scalded my fout while preparing supper.

During this time I used dozens of saives but mnoue did any good, in fact the wound developed into m rurning sore. 1 got no rest day or night from the pain. At this point a supply of Zamâ€"Buk was obtained and a few applications had immediate effect in soothing the pain and inmitation.

One burn on my wrist was particularly bad and gave me great pain, 1 «pplied some Zamâ€"Buk, and in fortyâ€"eight hours all that remained of the burn was a sMght scar. Zomâ€"Buk seemed to take the pain away like magic.

After breakfast Ullmo walks about his little domain, feeds his fowls and gives instructions to his cook. _ Nearly every day a launch brings fresh meat from l‘lle Royale, and to guard against stormy weather and the nonâ€"arrival of the launch the Lieutenant has, we are assured, a well stocked larder with *&ge, butter, preserves and charcuterie _ in abundance. After breakfast he takes a rest and then has a walk under the cocoanut trees. Then he sits under the shadow of the trees and watches the beautiful sunset and possibly thinks of Dreyfus in thisâ€"little solitude. At lunch he can have plenty of fresh milk and cheese, for he has a herd of goats. _ Afâ€" ter dinner the exâ€"Lieutenant and his guards play cards, and before retiring the chefâ€"who, like Goldsmith‘s chest of drawers, ‘‘contrives a double debt to pay"‘â€"transformed into a valet _ de chambre, asks the prisoner for instrueâ€" tions for the next day.
