Sehrank has proved a model
prisoner al Ihe asylum, -lie eats
and sleeps well and never com

walk lo I lie railroad station. Ilis
one diversion is Ihe writing ol
his "memoirs." Sehrank writes a
lillle every day. lie allows none

.section is headed "Ity John
Sehrank. Assassin."
Sehrank still holds |o the be
lief (hal his destiny was to kill
"Ihe third termer.”
‘T did my best,” he said. "That
I failed is no fault of mine."
Speaking of iiis present con
dilion, Sehrank said: "1 am .sat
isfied. My food is good, my clot h
ing comfortable. What can any
man like me waul ? 1 am of no
furl her use lo Ihe world. I have
fulfilled my destiny. Thai 1 failed
lo accomplish dial of which I had

SCHOOL OF CRIME
FOR CHILDREN
Philadelphia. Fob. I I .-Through
(he confessions of two children,
one caught trying In rob the safe,
and the other, a girl, caught
shoplifting, the police ..have ar
rested six jn.fii whom they claim
as "professors" in regular
schools of crime established by
modern Fagins for the purpose
of teaching the young idea Imw
to steal.
Courses in pickpocketing, safe
blowing, shoplifting, housebreak
ing and "making getaways” com
prise the curriculum, according
in Police Lieutenant Van Horn.
The Fagin schools are said In
have a regular equipment of
counters laden with merchandise,
and professors acting as clerks,
while the pupils attempt to "lift”
things without being detected.
Pupils are also taught all the
tricks of safe blowing, from drill
ing into the chilled steel to in
jecting the "soup." The house
breaking i nurse is also taught by
means of practical apparatus.
The police claim that the chil
dren are kidnaped and terrorized
j do becoming “pupils." The pro
redds of their lirst etlorts are
turned over to the school as pay
ment for their tuition.
