Says U. S. Liberty is Delusion.

Clarence S. Darrow, who defended the McNamara brothers in the Los Angeles dynamiting case, discussed ipdustrial and social conditions in America recently before the industrial relations commission. Darrow told the commission that the day was soon coming when hospitals would be substituted for prisons, that punishment was barbarism, that bloodshed was essential to progress and always had been and that American liberty was theoretical delusion. The people of England, he declared, enjoyed more liberty than those of America.
