FILTH IN POVERTY
SETTLEMENTS LEADS
TO SIN AND CRIME
W-: -Judge Patterson Makes
Touching Argument Why
Homes Should Be Made
Sanitary to Save Unfor
tunates. JttDGE JOHN M. PATTERSON
Insanitary dwellings In the slums, Judgo
John SI. Patterson, of tho Court of Com
mcta Pleas, today chargod wero chiefly
responsible for breaking up hemes.
Hundreds of fatherless children who
apply for aid from charltabto organiza
tions ars reared In houses of the slums
which settlement workors call "living
craves," according to Judge Patterson.
Sanitary conditions In houses of tho
turns. Judge Patterson declnred, could
not only decrease c(rlme, but also give
new life to -the "Apache of the street."
For more, than a year overy effort to get
Councils to grant an appropriation for the
maintaining of a Division of Housing and
Sanitation has failed.
The LeKiklaturo In 1013 passed an act
creating the new division. The law, how
ever, has never teen enforced. The rca
son Is that tho Commltteo dn Finance of
Councils, of which John P. Connelly Is
chairman, has continued to Ignore It.
"With an appropriation of (213,710, tho
Department of Health would have been
able to employ mdre nurses and Inspec
tors. The duties of these persons would
have been to keep a better watch on the
tenement owners for violations.
CAUSES OF CRIME.
Judge Patterson Is one of the many
representative Phlladelphlans who be
lieves In better housing conditions. The
quicker present social conditions In the
different alleys known as "poverty lanes"
are Improved, Judge Patterson believes,
some of tho cells In prisons will no longer
contain wlfe-beatera and other prisoners
whoso present predicament Is due to bad
environments.
Living in certain houses which sociol
ogists have characterized as "death
Yanlts," "Siberian cells" and "chambers
of horror," Judge Patterson declares
will continue to lncrcaso the court
dockets. '
Jndge Patterson today Indorsed the
Evening Xjsdobr's stand for better hous
ing conditions.- He added conditions
among those now existing In the "living
graves" and "Siberian cells" must
change, and that the change can't come
oon enough.
There la no question In my mind that
many cases that come dally to the courts
would never have been heard of but fey
ths present conditions," said Judgo Pat
terson. COKMEND8 THE EVENING LEDGER.
""Tho Evbniho LsDonn deserves the
commendation vof every true public
spirited eltlxen for the stand It has taken
in behalf of the men, women and chil
dren who spend the day and night in
soma of the poorly ventilated houses of
Philadelphia. I have visited soma of these
places whchhv been pictured by the
camera, and described In detail by set
tlement worker."
I feel certain something will be done.
I ftel sure that those in whose power It
is tQ change conditions will realize the
importance of the situation confronting
them."
"Living. In Insanitary houses helps to
breed crime not only among children, but
also among grown-up persons. It Is a life
either in the garret, in the alley where the
sua shlnas seldom or in some dark, filthy
insanitary and dust-covered, kitchen
where the windows are small and often
tvaed repairing."
FILTH BANISHES AMBITION.
- "JL working man with a family who
lives In some oT the rickety broken down
tenements naturally has no ambition In
life. He can bo led astray easily. He
also fails Into evil company. What is
the result!
"Ha no longer Is tho kind father and
kind husband that he was At one time.
He takes to drinking. His salary Is spent
foolishly. He is not only a. changed man
acaane his neighbors, but also when with
M family."
.'"Jlio next time we bear from this man

CONFESSED SLAYER
REEECTS MURDER
OF ALBERT KRAFT
Victor Eshelman, Again
Taken to Scene of Brutal
Crime, Insists He Was Re
sponsible. Victor E. Eehelman, confessed murderer
of 8-year-old Albert Kraft, whose body
was found In a culvert arch near 66th
street and Gibson avenue lost, week,
made another attemp today to convince
tho police of the truuA of his confessions.
Accompanied by Detectives Manuel and
Giovanni and several bltlecoats, the man
re-enacted the brutal crime, tracing- step
by step the route he says ho followed tho
night tho hoy was killed.
Several minor errors mndo by Eshel
man tho first llmo ho went over the
ground, nnd statements by attaches of
the Inasmuch Mission, whero ho boarded,
that conflict with his story, have led ths
police to doubt tho truth of Eshclman'l
confession.
Tho prisoner lias stuck to every point
of his story as ho first told It., Ques
tioned on details that failed to dovetail
In tho testimony of those employed at
the mission, he has steadfastly refused
to admit he might be mistaken. Sjnce his
arrest, Eshelman has mado no nttempt
to deny ho killed tho boy.
MAY HAVE DELUSION.
These details that do not fit with
others and tho condition of tho man's
mind have caused tho police to believe
that ho might bo laboring under a de
lusion. Numerous tests liavo been applied
to him, but Eshelman sticks to his story.
This momlng he was taken again to
Bartram's Gardens. From there he re
traced his steps along tho bank of tho
river up Into the woods and down tho
railroad embankment to the culvert arch.
Tho.ro ho demonstrated how and whera
he left the body of tho boy.
Ueorgo Long, head of the Inasmuch
Mission, 1011 Locust street, will Bee Eshel
man for tho second time today.
Eshelman told a connected story of the
crime yesterday when Lons saw him for
the first time since the night after the
crime. Until tho Interview tho prisoner's
confessions hnvo been made .only with the
old of questions.
Today Mr. Long, who gained the confi
dence of Eshelman while tho man was at
the Locust street mission, will see him
again. Cnptaln Cameron and Detectives
Emmanuel and Qtonettl said their belief
that Eshelman was telling the truth had
been strengthened after the conference
with Mr. Long.
The most serious discrepancy In Eshel
roan's story Is the part which deals will'
the time ho returned to the Inasmuch
Mission on tho -evening of the murder,
Eshelman has persistently doclara'd he
committed the crime before 6 o'clock
last Wednesday nlght. Opposed ta-tltl
Is the decisive declaration by employes
of the mission that he checked h,i cpat
there at 6:15 Wednesday evening and
was In tho dining room at 6:15.
MISSION EMPLOYE'S STATEMENT.
J. L. Mortimer, tho day clerk, says he
noticed particularly when he checked
Eshelman's coat, because the time he
usually took to twist out of It had be
come a Joke about the mission, and he
wanted to see whether Eshelman really
did take 1G ;ntnutes for the task as some
said.
Captain Cameron said yesterday Mor
timer and other employes must have been
mistaken In tho date. He belleyed they
saw him at 6:15 Tuesday night or at that
time, on Thursday night. Eshelman him
self says he reached the mission a few
minutes before 7 o'clock and went direct
ly Into the mission meeting after brush
ing off his clothing.
If this Is true he was singing hymns
and leading rescued derelicts to tho
mothers' bench nn hour after the murder.
PRISONER. GROWS WEAK.
That Eshelman will nqver suffer tho
death penalty, even If he Is convicted of
the crime, Is the belief of detectives ac
quainted with his mental condition". At
L first detectives thought Eshelman used
drugs, but physicians who examined him
declare he showed no indications that
he ever had. Eshelman, according to
physicians, is suffering from paresis. His
power of concentration Is rapidly growing
weaker and his physical condition Is bad.
