Cowering behind bars here, Ralph Fariss, 24 years old, self cenfessed lreiidit-inurderer, sub mits thin aa a key to the chain of crones which has brought him in the shadow of tlie gallows. I hose sinister impulses u|hui which he acted in the robberies culminating In the Xl .Monte hold up where Fariss sliot and killed Pullman Conductor Montagu*, flm\e<l from a boyhood saturated with the poisons of vice. He was never able to control these wild impulses. And they had their roots in the conviction that "many live with out • toiling and many toil who scurcely live." This was In his mind when he climbed aboard the Richmond train and the passengers looked suddenly into the muzzle of hia revolver. "I thought they would all be scared and none would resist. The women and the gamblers had my money. 1 hardly know why 1 held up that train; it all hap pened ro quickly."

Ralph Fariss is a shivering, ■mailing testimonial that the busi ness of being one's brother's keep er Is not a popular one. From earliest boyhood society had impressed upon him that tha • game of life was each man for himself. If he couldn't stand oa his own lege, he'd have to fall. He'd be the one to suffer. Cigarets, gambling, women and the wanderlust—to these ha yielded quickly. He waa having hard going of lt alone. But It wasn't the game lo ask assistance, nor to offer lt. It waa "his owa business." "Clever people don't work" -— more and more he convinced him self of that. And he had plenty of supporting evidence. After th»> Richmond robbery where he got $160 and gambled It away, be met the girl he saya he loves. And now all the rotten spore* of him burst forth hideously, tha fruit of his crooked, hb. unsuper vised youth.
