CHICAGO, Mar. 19. Thirty
three years on the bench have con-
Judge Marcus Kavanaugh
hings:
"(1) That there are 350,000 per
sons, in the I'nlted Stutes who live
partly or wholly by crime, who
committed ' 12.000 murders last
year and who obtained illegally in
the same period enough monny to
pay for the building of the Puna
ma canal.
"(2) That there are simple meth
ods of relief available if only the
public would Insist upon their
adoption."
Judge Cavanaugh, who ska upon
the superior court bench, has based
his opinions not only upon his long
experience but upon three years
of intensive study of the crime
situation. His conclusions are pre
sented in "the criminal and his
allies," a book now on tho press.
Many agencies of law are blamed
by Judge Kavanaugh for the Amer
ican conditions he pictures gov
ernors, legislators, prosecuting at
torneys, -police and the supremo
court."
Chief responsibility, however, he
attached to the public fur. indif
ference. . A -country, he declares,
earns the crime it suffers.,"
"Public apathy, quibbling courts
of review, antiquated processes,
and new processes designed to pro
tect the criminal rather than the
public,'' are some of his criticisms.
He defends the-death penalty and
encourage tho use of the lash In
these words:
"No underworld lord can retain
the respect of his followers after
he has winced under the piin of
a whipping. The cat-o'-nlne-talls
Is feared more by the moron and
racketeer than a jail sentence."
Judgo Kavanaugh offers a rem
edy for delays by trial technicali
ties. A statute of 18 words, he
believes, would aid greatly,
"All laws and rules of courts."
he writes, "concerning forms, prac
tice and procedure, shall he direc
tory only, and not mandatory."
Employment of alienists In mod
ern criminal procedure. Judge Kav
anaugh holds. Is "another Ins'aiu-e
of pampering the law breaker."
The jurist suggested that If Soe
rates had been given trial before
an .'mgllsh-spcaking jury and been
defended by a modern lawyer, us
ing nn 'Insanity defense, "hp need
never have drunk the hemlock."
Ituth Hnyder's slaying of her hus
band is cited by Judge Kavanaugh
in defense of his s1 at omen t hat
the female criminal Is more to be
eared than the male. Ho says .
- "No man can be as good as a
good woman. ".No man can be as
bud as a bad woman. A woman Is
more- hurt-"by her fall than Ik n
man by Ills fail. lr the reason that r Itcglnuing tonight the City San
