A TRIAL NOT A ROMAN CIRCUS (Continued From Page 1) with which she begins to pay for one night of passion and crime. Nevertheless, which of us is without sin? In an unhappy marriage hatred grows till it overcomes all conscience and fear; irritation is piled upon irritation, that the soreness of every wound merges in an intolerable pain. Harsh words come to stinging insults, then blows. The nerves break down under t\ese brutal shocks and lose their acquired habits of co-ordination and restraint. Each blow makes the next blow readier and helps to shatter that frail | barrier of moral culture which sepa- ! rates us from the harassed beast. Revenge and the hunger for freedom crazes us. We will in such moments do almost anything to escape from the prison of a loveless home. It Is because marriage kills freedom that the modern soul, individualist in every fiber, rebels against it be- ! fore and after, and guillotines it at | both ends with deferment and di- ! vorce. I Then—the Mothers Behind the man and the woman are their mothers. We must not sentimentalize about them (who dares be humanly sentimental in cynical young New York?); and yet in their hearts are the sharpest arrows of the tragedy. -The children are too immature to understand; the criminals are too hard and dull to understand. But these women who went down into the neighborhood of death to pluck, from nothin those two lives, who loved them limitlessly and labored for twenty years to lift them from savagery to decency, who thrilled with a sense of the undefeatable Immortality of life when they held their children’s children in their arms—what infinite desolation encompasses them now, when all the world calls their offspring murderers and the comforting delu- , sion of innocence is forbidden them, and they must watch, day after day, hour after hour, as the hand of the law reaches out to destroy, with all the inhuman ritual of legalized killing. the liv#s which they bore so painfully to such bitter fruit: How Deeds Kclio On < Consider how endless are the eddies and reverberations of our deeds. One clandestine meeting and then another; one act of treachery, and then more thoughtlessly, another; a crime of foYgiveable passion, and then, almost forgivingly, a crime of fear and greed. One life beaten out madly, and, therefore, two other lives must end; two helpless children must bear unbearable separations and memories, and three mothers’ hearts must break. For afar in another State another woman lies, broken as only a woman can bo: knowing now beyond any solacing doubt that her mate of many years betrayed her, threw her home, her happiness, and her child into the balance as a little thing against his love. If we despair when we think of the wife and n\ it her who could ruthlessly kill, l?t us remember also this woman, who could be faithful to the end.

and plead one has a sense of futility and procrastination. Better to Say Guilty Would it not be better for these unfortunate criminals to brush aside the law’s delved and say, with Dostoievski’s Mytia, “Yes, punish us. God knows that we deserve all the penalties of the law? “Perhaps through punishment shall be purified.” Would they not be a little happier, these two, a little more at peace if they should throw themselves upon the mercy of the court and take whatever punishment it might decree? For the court here is no institution of revenge; at every glance one sees that the prosecutor is a kindly man, quiet and self-controlled; and that the judge, though stern as a judge must be, is touched with the quality of mercy. There is no sensationalism here, no shouting, no exaggeration, no artificial eloquence, the courtesy and fairness of this trial restore to us that faith in the reality of civilization which was for a while disturbed by the hideousness of this crime. I'p to Judge The jury, which was so carefully chosen, is unimportant; for there is no reasonable doubt about the essential facts. In the end it will be Justice Scudder, whose sentence will decide the fate of these aborted souls. And it is well. For in his fine face, lined with the memory of a thousand trials, in the patience of one who lias seen many hearts bared and many frailties revealed, the kindliness of one who has suffered with those whom he has seen suffering, the quiet wisdom of one who, though judging, does not judge, and condemning, does not condemn. Such a man needs no lesser man to tell him that a mature society requires not punishment, but self-pro-tection; that justice seeks not vengeance, but healing; and that men can afford to be gentle when they are strong.

DISEASE MENACES FEOOD REFUGEES (Continued From Pago 1) bitterness in the hearts of the parish! folk. It is estimated that th'e break will cost $4,000,000, ami render 3,000 per* j sons homeless. The ordinarily peaceful farming ! and trapping community was deathly quiet today. There ap- • peared to be no living thing in the ; patli of the flood which will sweep | 100,000 acres of land on its short | cut to the Gulf of Mexico. Only armed guards and workers along the levee bank setting their dynamite charge broke the stillness of the valley. Troops on Dufy National guard troops were on hand in full force, ready to avert any possible flareup on the part of hunters and trappers forced to evaci uate the homes they have occupied for 200 years. State officials said all was in readiness for the break. There appeared to be nothing to prevent prompt exj ecution of the order to cut the levee. TROOPS PLAN RESCUE. Expedition Formed to Tako 2,000 Negros From Plantations. fii/ Vnitril 7’rrs. VICKSBURG, Miss., April 29.—A relief expedition of national guardsmen was organized today to rescue 2,000 flood-bound Negroes between Moorhead and Inverness, where plantation owners fefuse to allow workers to evacuate. Gen. Curtis Green, commander of the Mississippi national guard, has Informed Governor Murphree of the perilous plight of the Negroes, who are reported housed in box cars with the water rising rapidly. On instructions from headquarters here, Capt. McCluro was assembling a fleet of small gasoline launches at Greenwood, Miss., concentration center, ready to take off the Negroes. Relief authorities today appealed to Governor Dennis Murphree of Mississippi to force evacuation of 1,000 marooned plantation workers near Inverness, Miss. The families are held in floodthreatened territory by plantation owners, who threaten to shoot any one attempting to remove them, according to H. L. Schaeffer, Red Cross commissioner here. “Not only are lives endangered by the rapid rise of water, but the confined Negroes are in ill health and without food,” Schaffer reported to the Governor. The levee at Deer Park, La., twenty-three miles below Natchez, Miss., was awash early today and in momentary danger of crumbling, MaJ. Robert J. Montgomery reported to the Mississippi National Guard headquarters here. Collapse of the levee would send the unleased river over a vast stretch of Louisiana extending southward as far as the Red River. Part of the region was reported already under water. -FIGHT AGAINST DISEASE Red Cross Orders Efforts Centered on Curbing Pestilence. Ull I nilnl I’rrxs MEMPHIS, Tenn., April 29. The flood death toll stands at 320, according to the best estimates. There are more than 200,000 homeless, concentrated in refugee camps under conditions most favorable to spread of contagion. Dr. William R. Redden, chief medical officer of the Red Cross, announced everything possible was being done to make the can /1 sanitary. Lack'of drainage anu proper shelter makes this difficult, however. Health of the refugees is further endangered by exposure and lack of proper food and water, Dr. Redden said. The Red Cross today ordered physicians and nurses aiding flood victims to concentrate all efforts on prevention of pestilence. If necessary, members of the Red Cross reserve corps of nurses, numbering 42,090, will be called, Henry M. Baker, bead of the relief organization, said. Doctors are volunteering their services to the Red Cross and some of them probably will be called. A plan is also under way to use senior medical students to administer serums and handle routine medical work under direction of competent Physician*.
