THEFT AND METAPHYSICS
Miss Helen Watson, the superintend dent of a hospital at White Plains, New York, when arraigned in Court in New York on 11th October on a charge of shop-lifting, confessed that the charge •was true A but pleaded that, she "only stole from shops when she was in an exhausted condition from having too much work. She declared that at ordinary times she was /perfectly honest, and was %>n> able to account for the mania for steal' ing which seized her when she was overworked. Investigation of her case proved that the thefts she had been guilty of invariably occurred after prolonged hospital duty. The Judge postponed sentence until a medical report of Miss Watson's condition could be made.
