My wife and I Select Rails Advance On Slow Market New York (INS) Spirited advances in selected rails and specialty issues helped maintain bullish enthusiasm at a higrh pitch yesterday but the Stock Market as a whole encountered difficult goins; ar.d was on the defensive most of the session. Despite the sizable list of strong performers, yesterday's over-all showing was keenly disappointing to Wall Street experts. One rather ominous development was the absence of any big burst of opening buying enthusiasm, which usually has lifted prices sharply following strong market closes such as took place Tuesday.

The judge added: "This attitude would necessarily condemn a patient for life with no hope of returning to society.

The road to Fair-view could be properly classified as "the road of no return'." After his escape he told authorities he fled only because he believed he was sane and it was "impossible to get a release any other way. A succession of noted psychiatrists testified at recent hearings before Judge Lewis 4that Koss had recovered his sanity. Judge Lew is said he was impressed by the former badman's statement that he holds no bitterness toward Fairview officials or society for his long incarceration, and said: "It is regrettable that the state has made a grave and serious mistake in your case THE JURIST then unleashed a scathing blast at methods used in deciding whether a patient shall be released from Fairview, saying: "It is quite conceivable that because of the wholly inadequate system of examinations that many more patients of tell you we still shake a mean hip!
