Solution of one of Ohio'6 most baffling and fascinatingly interesting murder mysterlss is accounted a triumph for the new science of psychiatry. Confession of Jacob Nesbltt that he killed his pretty wife in their home here and then planned to deceive authorities, followed a study of him by Dr.

George H. Reeve, Cleveland psychiatrist, who outlined the method most likely to result in a confession being obtained from Neslbitt. It was as a result of his observations that the Troy authorities realized they might be dealing with a modern Dr. Jekyll and Mr, Hyde, a man without any emotions, who would be impervious to the usual method's used by police in obtaining confessions. This is probably the first case in history where psychiatry has been employed to help solve a crime, though it is commonly used to determine what caused a crime to be corn- Ridge cemetery.

No special ceremonies marked, the ending of the school term which continued over a period of sixty nights, A few social activities were given by some of the women's classes. The sessions began early, last fall with C. Hall, assistant principal of ho Senior High school, in charge Classes in commercial, elementary and secondary subjects, Americanization and citizenship, and vocational subjects were started. subjects consisted of typewriting, bookkeeping, commercial law and short hand; elementary and secondary English, spelling and penmanship, arithmetic, algebra and geometry; vocational subjects, auto mechanics, boiler making electricity, cooking, machine me-chanipal drawing, millinery- paper hanging, plumbing, show, card -writing, sewing and welding.

The enrollment in the classes totaled 1,050. The big feature of the night classes of the past term was the possibility of obtaining a High school diploma through night school credit. If any of the students of the night classes had formerly attended the High school they could, through the night sessions, conclude -their High school work and receive a diploma when the number of required credits wefe obtained. Many of the students are working toward this goal and will, in the course of the next few terms, get a diploma. The commercial department had the heaviest enrollment in the history of the night school.

There were several conflicts in subjects at the beginning but these differences were smoothed out and opportunities were given to all students. All thoe students who attended seventy-five per cent of the school sessions were awarded with an diploma. They also received their registration fees of $1 each which they posted at the beginning of the school term. The following instructors served on the night school faculty: R. J.

Jacob Xesbitt mltted and to discover and remove probable causes of crime. The science of psychiatry' started as a study of the insane. Recently it has had a wider application and is used to understand the motives that prompt people to do certain things, not necessarily criminal.

When Dr. Reeve came to Troy he Immediately discovered that Nesbitt did not possess emotional reactions of a normal individual. He told the authorities it wasn't a case of masking emotions, but a case of not having anj'. The ordinary line of procedure would have no effect in such a case. Roughshod methods of the usual police character would simply cause Neebitt to remain silent.

Before he would tell his story some train of emotions woulu have to be aroused. The foundation for arousing a train of emotion was laid during the two-day automobile tour Nesbltt took with Ora Slater, noted private detective, iicu uui luxry idiiic7 lu 1.11c iai 111 imv nve sons in seven years. Soon after this story was published a stranger, who later proved to be the Russian consul, called on Mr. Hatch asked him to explain the situation on the farm. Mr.

Hatch said it might be-the water, which contained much phosphate and magnesium. The consul would like to have some of the water. AVhat for? He shrugged his shoulders. Get Cask of Water A few days later he appeared with two uniformed attendants and a thirty gallon cask. The consul in-sited on pumping the water himself.

He sealed the bung of the cask and covered it with wax. Again Mr. Hatch asked why the consul -wanted the water. "Oh, just an was the answer. Cable dispatches in 1904 said a male heir had at last been been to the Imperial Russian throne-r-the Grand Duke A'-iXis.

Th four previous children of the czarina were girls. Mr. Hatyh called 'on the Russian consul. His questions 'were evaded. He pressed.

The consul pointedly changed the subject. Mr. Hatch took the hint and kept his deductions private, until several days ago he heard the anecdote brought from Germany. Then he found the yellowed newspaper clipping and told the story. Health Chief Concludes Investigation Into Epidemic at New Milford HARRISBURG, 15.

He ate with him, slept with him and won his confidence. At the same time he impressed Nesbltt with a feeling of responsibility. He was made to feel that the whole course of the investigation rested on his shoulders. The treatment was successful. Then came the final scene at Dr.

Reeve discovered that Nesbitt was deeply irritated, almost frightened, by mention of the word blood. So Nesbitt was taken out to the cottage, scene of the crime. None of the blood stains had been removsd. Finally the dormant emotions were aroused. Nesbitt told about the crime.

Everything worked out as. Dr. Reeve had predicted. To him there was nothing surprising in the result. It was just like a chemical formula- procure a certain substance, give it a certain treatment, and a certain reac tion would, follow.
