THE PATTON COURIER “Long Termer” May Be Innocent Marquette, Mich.—Whether Stanley Ridler of Detroit is serving 1214 to 25 vears in the Michigan state prison at Jackson for a crime he did not com- mit Is a question to which Arthur D, Wood, pardon and parole commission- er, Is seeking the answer. Anthony Machus, serving life In Marquette branch prison, has told Mr. Wood that he and an unnamed com- panion, now dead, carried out the hold- up for which Ridler was sentenced. Machus said he had kept silent be- cause he did not wish to implicate his companion, but the death of the latter recently, he said, had removed this motive, Mr. Wood said he had gone over the Ridler case recently and was inclined to believe that Machus was telling the truth. Ridler has insisted all the time that he is innocent. Mr. Wood inti- mated he would recommend a pardon for Ridler if his Investigation bore out the story told by Machus. Ridler was found guilty October 25, 1924, of holding up John A. Dietrich, superintendent, and Frank G. Welbon, auditor of the Detroit Twist Drill com- pany, February 10, 1923, as they were transporting an $8,300 pay roll. Rid- led was convicted on his third trial, the first two juries disagreeing. His defense was an alibi.

Various newspapers of cen- #ral Europe voiced an indignant pro- west that a woman should be so badly flogged that her back resembled raw Weefsteak after the ordeal. Not so the Paris journals; echoing the satisfaction manifested by the “Temeshwar Hirlap at the added pun- dshment inflicted on the murderess, Parisian editors are pointing out the «@xcellence of this phase of Rumanian <«<riminal procedure, Despite the spectacle of a woman's hack being slowly beaten into a bloody pulp, French critics are inclined to at- itach more importance to another angle «of the affair.

Such crimes committed by women numbered 164 in 1920; this formidable figure was reduced to 38 in 1922, to 26 in 1923, to 22 in 1924, and dropped to 8 last year, thanks to the rigid application of the law of the knout. Madame Dora Borugsch has had her back pounded into a jelly, say the French journalists and the Temeshwar Hirlap, but 156 persons who would normally be rotting in the cemeteries are now sleeping tranquilly in their beds. The Temeshwar Hirlap looks favorably on the result, and so does the French press.

Ridler also was arrested in the slaying of Mal- colm McGregor at the Halfway house, owned jointly by Ridler and Harry (Kid) Harris, but was discharged later when the chief witnesses were unable to positively identify him in court.

We can conceive then, that hot words, profane words, it may be, not infrequently rushed to his lips, but he knew that such expressions were unworthy of him, and he wanted to be right. A young girl was walking past my office door not long ago, engaged in conversation with a boy of her own age. She was a very pretty girl, well dressed and carefully groomed, and her external appearance gave one the impression of her having come from a home of comfort if not of refinement. She was talking about an examina- tion which she had just taken in which, to use her own words, she had had a “h—Il-of-a-time.”.

She thinks that one could hardly be quite up to date if one did not swear. It is an indication of free- dom from the shackles of convention, of independent thought, of fuller self expression, if one emphasizes one's statements with an oath. Other girls are doing it—prominent ones, too— and she is herself a campus leader. She is president of something or other; she must set a forceful example. She does not realize how cheap and com- mon and vulgar she is, what a low es- timate she puts upon her own char- acter—an estimate which those whe know her only casually are sure to accept. It would mot be so bad if it were only girls, but the men are worse, perhaps. “Do all young fellows swear these days?” a young boy asked me not long ago. “I was entertained at dinner by a group of young men only a few nights ago,” he went on. “They said grace at table, and then after the meal was over, they swore like pirates.” Well, does every one swear these days? “Where did you learn to be so pro- fane?” I asked a senior in college not long ago. “Oh at home, I suppose,” she re- plied. “Father swears, mother does, too. I guess I just picked it up.” And what a disgustingly vulgar habit it is, for even a pirate! (©, 1930, Western Newspaper Union.)
