THIRD DEGREE TO
BE ABANDONED
Terrors Os Psychology To Be Sub
stituted By Chicago Police For
Ancient Methods
BY ROY GIBBONS
1 CHICAGO, Jan. 10.—Chicago po-I
lice are substituting for the crude
brutalities of ‘.‘the third degree” the
i.ew terrors of ps> enology.
Through practical application of
psychological principles, particularly
through breaking down resistance of
I the conscious mind and liberating
I the unconscious mind they are
• nging confessions from criminals.
The new system is having its most i
spectacular test in the case of Albert I
Foster, arrested on a charge of first
degree murder in connection with
the mysterious disappearance of his
former fiancee, Mrs. Kate Mitchell
Trostell.
Quizzed 98 Hour*.
For 98 hoT.’s —without sleep or
let-up—Detective Chief Michael
i Hughes and his assistants put Foster
through the psychological third de-
i gree.
There were no threats of physical
violence, no shouting and denuncia
tion, no shooting of firearms.
‘‘We proceeded on the theory,”
Hughes explain, “that in every hu
man being is a spark of decency, and
if you can free that spark, the flame
of truth is bound to leap outward.”
At the end of 98 hours of psycho
logical sweating, Hughes had ob
tained from Foster a statement Mrs.
Trostell and he had quarreled, she
was taken sick and she jumped into
kthe drainage canal.
Had it not been for this statement,
•he police would have had to free
Foster, for the body of Mrs. Tros
tell has not yet been found.
Now the inquisition is proceeding i
with the purpose of wringing from 1
Foster the truth about some stains
found on his coat and on the running
board of his automobile. These stains
were analyzed by an official chemist,
who said they were human blood.
Foster’s inquisitors first tried to
build up before his mind’s eye the
image of the crime of which he was
•suspected. They held before him
time after time a picture of Mrs.
Trostell. Often as many as 30 men
surrounded him and plied him with
questions.
“Can’t Stick to Lie.”
“All criminals lie,” said Hughes.
“But rare is the man who can stick
kto a lie. We find a liar will tell a
■different version of the same story to
Kpmost everyone. So we lead a sus
■«’ect into telling lies, then we check
up, and finally in his mental
fusion the truth will out.
p "This, in effect, is what has hap
pened in Foster’s case.”
Foster’s confession came in the
98th hour when, by pre-arrangement,
Mrs. Trostell’s daughter entered the
room and pleaded hysterically with
him to tell her where her mother
was.
The spark of decency, according to
police psychologists, burst into the
flame of truth. And then Foster was
led away for a few’ hours’ rest, after
which the inquisition was renewed.
FORMER GREEK
KING DIED TODAY
(Continued from Page Two.)
as a, commander of the Greek army
in 1909, because of popular clamor
against him, Constantine then Crown
Prince, became a national hero in the
Balkan war of 1912, by leading a
Greek army to the capture of Salon
iki from the Turks, as a result of
which he was accorded the popular
title of “The Liberator.”
Prince George, the eldest son of
Constantine, also pro-German, who
was excluded from succession by the
Allied terms which compelled his
father’s abdication in 1917, accompa
nied the royal party to Asia Minor
in 1921 and was a member of the
staff of the Greek commander, Gen-
Popoulas George was born July
19, 1890, and married Princess Eliz
abeth of Rumania in the spring of
1921. He is still regarded as the
heir apparent but whether he will
succeed Constantine is problematical.
The only other son of the king is
Prince Paul, borne Dec. 14, 1901.

this action was rescinded and the bill
was declared lost in the referendum. ■
The contention is made that the may
or and council had no right to rescind
their former action declaring the bill
ratified.
It is charged that a speical board [
of registrars, all hostile to the com
mission government bill, prepared
the list of voters used in that elec
tion and with that list as a basis the <
bill was ratified. Later, after the
bill had been officially declared ratif- .
fied, the list was revised and the bill
declared lost. If the election was
held with an illegal list, the answer
contends, the election itself was il
legal and therefore the commission
form of government should be in
force as the bill expressly provided
for its enforcement unless a legal
election should decide otherwise.
Charges of gross irregularities in
the election are also made, and re
sponsibility therefore laid at the door

in, refused to permit him to serve

“chaining” incident would be closed.
“It wasn’t as bad as has been
pictured,” he said, “’and we find that
sympathy is developing In favor of

Superintendent Smith said that he
was in perfect accord with the find
ings of the board, but he declared
that the resolutions adopted by the
trustees were not “resonant” with
the findings.
“The character of an institution,”
I he continued, “deserves considera
' tion. While the punishment humilf

out to associate with boys under the
cover of darkness humiliates the in
stitution, and not to undelake to
remedy the evil would have destroyed
the reputation of the home and per
haps brought on some of the girls
a life of shame.”

The meeting was modeled after a
similar meeting held in Athens a year
ago when bankers and merchants
raised a sum of money with which six
experts were employed to assist and
direct farmers in raising their crops.
The meeting yesterday, however, was
far wider reaching and the plans
adopted are more comprehensive in
their scope.
The next move that will be ntade
in the interest of Georgia agricul
tural problems will be Farmers’
Week here, Jan. 22-27, when several
hundred farmers will, from all over
Georgia gather in Athens for a con
ference at the agricultural college.
