that progress has been made nonetheless. Demo

Scott’s Transformation
It lias often beep remarked that no sane person
would deliberately commit suicide and it might be
added that any one who- is responsible for cold
blooded murder is abnormal to the extent of beiilg
scarcely sane. •
Bussell Scott, former millionaire, who has done
both of these, things, would appear to have been
far from normal mentally though at one time lie
possessed a brilliancy which enabled hftn to secure
more than a million dollars before he reached the
age of thirty.
Head of a large corporation and possessor of
great wealth at an age when most men are just
getting a start in life, Scott later made about as
complete a failure in life as it would be possible for
a man to make. Penniless, convicted of murder
finally a suicide—is it any wonder this transforma
tion leads doctors to believe that an examination
of the brain may reveal some physical cause at the
bottom of it all.
Scott, however, bad blamed his downfall to
women—not exactly a new procedure on the part of
fallen men—but regardless of women’s part the real
cause was Scott himself. It is not ¡impossible,' how
ever, that there may have been physical reasons
for his changing from a brilliant success to a com
plete failure in life.
