Editorial Correspondence
RAN JOSE, Cnlif., April 9. Motor-bussed down here in the
clear, cool early morning sunlight to look in on the Lamson
murder trial.
It took the double decked motor bin two hours and ten
minutes to negotiate the 50 miles, so court had opened before we
arrived. It looked none too promising with the hall packed
with people who couldn't gain entrance, but an M. T. card got
us a ringside seat in a chair marked for the Mountain View
News.
Lamson was on the stand being cross examined by District
Attorney A. P. Lindsay who secured a conviction and quite a
reputation in the first trial, and of course intends to secure a
conviction at this one. The state supreme court granted a re
trial, because the trial judge refused to allow certain defense
experts to testify chief among them being E. 0. Ileinrich, the
well known Berkeley criminologist, who was chiefly responsible
for the capture o the D'Autremont boys.
e e s
If you met David Lamson on the street, he is the last man in
the world you would put down as a wife beater, much less as a
wife killer, accused of murdering his young wife, by beating
her over the head with a piece of lead pipe, on Decoration Day
morning two j enrs ago. Listening to him testify under a sledge
hammer grilling, by a thick necked D. A. who talks through his
nose didn't weaken that impression.
We listened to this cross examination until 5 p. m. when
court adjourned for the day, and had an opportunity to study
the defendant under varying conditions, for nearly five hours,
and nt the close, felt more baffled than ever.
That is what makes the Lanmon murder case, one of the most
interesting in modern criminal history, it is so entirely impos
sible to accept this cultured, well mannered, highly intelligent,
publicity directory of the Stanford University press, as a crim
inal type of any sort. Yet no one who studies the case can
deny thnt the evidence and the logic of the evidence is all
against him.
Lamson is very good looking, not at all the flashy, movie star
type, but the quiet, dignified, thoughtful type. He has the high
well molded forehead of the student; and the thin delicate hands
of the artist, His hair is thick nnd dark, fitting his head closely,
his eyes are dark too, large and round, his gaze direct and
steady. He was on the spot the hardest spot of the trial thus
far, under a grilling cross examination by the state, following
his direct testimony; and yet if he felt nervous or uneasy, he
gave not the slightest indication of it. He was extremely serious,
intent on every question he was asked, slow and meticulous in
his replies, and while vague in some of his answers, gave a most
interesting and plausible explanation for that vagueness.
"You have some trouble remembering things that happened
that, morning" observed Attorney Lindsay, after one of these
"I don't remember" rejoinders.
"Yes I have" was the reply, "mav I explain just whv, Mr.
Lindsay? It's this way. When
bathroom that morning. DEAD,
to fall about me, nothing that
clear in any normal sense It's
rather like being suddenly thrown into a heavy sea there
would be a blank as one wave would strike me, then after it
passed jind before the next one came, everything woulfl be clear,
and then everything would go blank again. I do remember
certain things clearly, and other things not at all as if there
was darkness, then flashes of lightning and all that I retained
was what happened during those
stances I think it was natural to have'neither a clear nor a
consesutive picture of what occurred afterward, that is why
soma questions you ask me I can't answer, I honestly don't
know, and others I can."
Clearly a person of sensibility and imagination talking. And
yet such a neat and ingenuous alibi for inability to remember,
anything that might be damaging to his case, one couldn't blame
the V. A, for putting tremendous
low voice
"Oh I SEE!"
During the noon recess we talked with some of the newspaper
boys covering the case there are about 20, and one representa
tive of a magazine and they aUtsaid Lamson in his cross exam
ination had mado the most favorable impression thus far.
As one of them explained, "In his first trial he Idkt his tem
per several times, an.) lost his nerve too. The poor bird con
victed himself. This time he is doing his stuff much better and
of course he has a better lawyer. Then hell a man ought to
no lienor in ins second murder trial than his first, just as an
actor can do better WITH a rehearsal, than without one."
e e e a
If left to the newspaper boys, however, Lamson wouldn't
have much chance. They like him, and feel sorry for him, but
bolievo him guilty as Hades. We found only one who had any
doubt and she was a woman reporter, who they say, is a personal
irienn oi i.amson s sister. Stic sat on our left and took copious
notes talking with Lamson inside the rail DURING the recess.
e a e
However newspapers don't try eases and newspaper report
ers, fortunately don't decide them. Judging by the conversation
heard among the spectators duriug the intermissions, most of
them women the sentiment is all pro-Lamson. We heard so
much of it without making any special effort we about conclud
ed there was an organized effort to get the ear of a new news
paper man, and steer him in the right direction.
The burden of this talk was the obvious sincerity, gentility,
convincing earnestness of the man he was "so patient" with
the roughneck D. A. and so obviously determined to tell all he
knew. He simply couldn't have done such a thing, and as one
woman expressed it "I have tried to be absolutely objective
and impersonal in my judgment and I simply can't picture
Dave Lamson killing anyone.
However there have been GENTLEMEN murderers before.
And we have yet to understand how a woman could fall from a
bath tub. hit her head on a wash stand three feet away, fall
buck in the tub, and proceed to die unassisted with three
TIIHEE fractures of the skull!
With sunshine after record breaking rains the peninsula is
green as the Emerald Isle ever dreamed of being. At the bu
station on our return to S. K a newsboy slapped an Examiner
in the editorial face, with this screaming banner;
"Sun Quentin hangs man by mistake!"
It must he consoling to that 1!) year old colored boy, to
know that his painful departure from this green earth was an
error in mortal mind ! One of those errors pretty hard to rectify.
Yes we should be pretty sure before we render judgment or
spring the trap! r.

Some time In

Appel. C. B. Parr
and H. K. Mar
shall published a
report of their
experience In the
um of Insulin to
enable numerous
mental patients
to gain some
needed flesh. Six
teen male pa
tients made an average gain of three
pounds a week and 13 female pa
tients gained an average of 3.4
pounds & week, on doses of from $
to 35 units of Insulin dally for per
iods of from two to eight weeks.
Along with the insulin the patients
received a diet which yielded around
4,000 calories a day. Orange Juice
was always kept at hand for any
patient who manifested any symp
toms of overdose of Insulin, as it
should be kept at hand by every
patient receiving Insulin.'
Dr. Nellls B. Poster, in an article
on Insulin publshed in 1930 sold:
"Why so " many physicians
seem to be afraid of Insulin la
beyond my comprehension. A
normal person can take from 5
to 10 units of Insulin with no
notable effect. Prom 10 to 20
units a couple of times a day
- la an ideal way to stimulate the
appetite. Recently I had a lad i
. . . Physical wreck after a se
vere siege of pneumonia. He had
no appetite; nothing tempted
him. So he was given 20 units
of Insulin before breakfast and
dinner nnd the result was mar
velous. He became ravenous."
Further on this same authority.
discussing now the treatment of
diabetes, says he has no patience
with the all to common custom of
the physician administering the In
sulin. He declares that any Intelli
gent person may be Instructed how
to administer his own Insulin, and

with perfect technic.

German physicians who have used
this treatment with satisfaction ad

Comment
on the
Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS.
HERE la a little story, known to
this writer to be true, that
should Interest you:
The head of a family, here in
Southern Oregon, had been on rellei
throughout the early part of the
winter. He didn't like being on re
lief, and kept hunting a Job. Eventu
ally, he found one.
Then, shortly after he got his Job,
but before he had time to accumu
late any money, his wife became ex
tremely ill and had to be taken to
hospital,
HE HAD no money with which to
guarantee his hospital bill, so
he applied to the relief for help.
But because he waa no longer on
relief, having left the ranks of the
Indigent and Joined the ranka ot
the unemployed, nothing could be
done for him.
Fortunately, he had some friends
and some credit and the hospital
management was kindly,' so his wile
was taken care of. It will take him
quite a while, of course, to pay bis
bill, but he isn't complaining about
that.
He believes in paying his bills.
HERE Is the point:
If he had LIKED belne on re
lief, and had been willing to remain
there indefinitely, his hospital bill
would have been paid for him. But
because he doesn't like being on re
lief, and alms to make his own way
in the world If there is half a
chance, he has to pay the bill him
self. It shoifld be repeated that he Isn't
complaining.
W
HAT is here said isn't Mid In
criticism of the relief authorl-
ties.
They were following the rules laid
down for them. These rules. In all
probability, are reasonable rules. Re
lief ISN'T for those . who are able
to help themselves. It Is for those
who CAN'T help themselves, and
therefore have to be helped by some
one else.
We (meaning by "we" the public
at large) can't take care of every'
body who needs a little help. The
best we can hope to do is to care
in some manner for those who are
absolutely unable to care for them
selves. Even at that, the demands on the
relief funds are greater than can be
met.
IjUT here is aTroublesome thought:
Those who are perfectly satis-
fled to do so can remain on reliei
and have all their bills, including
hnipitAl bills In case of serious ill'
ness, paid for them by government
which means the public whereas
those sturdier citizens who believe
in taking care of themselves, and
so' get out and hustle for Jobs, must
shoulder all the responsibilities In
volved In taking care of themselves.
If that system la LONG CON
TINUED, what Is It going to do to
the character of the American peo
ple? . ' i
WE CANT d'ropreltef, of, course
right now.
But we OUGHT to drop it at the
earliest possible moment, because a
system that makes It easier to oo
nothing and let the government look
out for all our needs than It is to
get out and hustle and look out for
ourselves isn't a good system lor any
people.
