...between Germany and her penologist guests appeared to them so wide that a majority resolved informally to remain silent and enter no discussion. They noted with upped eyebrows that Dr. Gurtner called explicitly for "severity in the treatment of prisoners so that the punishment may be appropriate to the evil." This German reversion to an eye for an eye & a tooth for a tooth caused Sing Sing Warden Lewis E. Lawes to break the delegates' self-imposed rule of silence. "I certainly disagree," said Mr. Lawes, "with any policy of taking vengeance on prisoners...
...story just long enough to let out a war whoop and bite the dust. With the novels of Oliver La Farge, braves and squaws seem at last to have been given sensible speaking parts, emerging as complex, poetic, dignified, good-humored men & women deeply conscious of the evil times that have come upon their race.

During last week's trial Midwest newspapers temporarily promoted her from a cafeteria hostess to a night club hostess, reconsidered, returned her to the cafeteria. Her last night she had seen Public Hero No. 1 with a friend who had left her to go home alone in the rain...
Unconditional Evil was Gerald Thompson, 26, machinist, who noted in his diary some 83 women he had tried to seduce. To Peoria's pride, 67 of his attempts were unsuccessful. He had come along in his car in the rain, given Miss Hallmark a lift, liked her so well he choked her unconscious, hit her on the jaw and threw her into the ditch. The Press at first rated him "handsome, curly-haired, muscular." Then it came out that on his night-prowlings he carried scissors to snip women's underclothes, had made a New Year...
