GOLDEN DAWN
SYNOPSIS
Theodore Gatlin adopts a baby, which
he names "Penelope," in a final effort
to solve his matrimonial troubles. But
his wife has never wanted her, and
their affairs end in the divorce court.
Ten-year-old Penelope is given into the
keeping of Mrs. Gatlin. At a baseball
game a ball strikes Penelope on the
nose. Mrs. Gatlin spirits the child to
Europe. Gatlin retires from business,
wills Penelope all his money, and is
about to begin a search for his daugh-
ter when a motor accident ends his life.
Some ten years later, in San Francisco,
Stephen Burt is a rising young psychi-
atrist. He is presented by Dan Mc-
Namara, chief of police, with a new pa-
tient—Nance Belden, a girl with a dual
personality, for which her "saddle nose"
was in part responsible. McNamara does
not think she is a responsible criminal
and obtains Burt's expert testimony in
court. 'Danny, the doctor's faithful office
nurse, is won over to her cause despite
Nance's hard-boiled exterior.
CHAPTER III
—5
Stephen elbowed his way Into the
courtroom. Nance Belden saw him,
and from behind the bars of the pris-
oner's dock waved to him and called
cheerily: "Hello, Steve."
"Silence—you 1" the bailiff warned
her.
Nance made a face at him; then, ob-
serving Stephen lay finger to lip in
a warning gesture, she tossed her head,
.tilted her chin and bent upon the
Judge a cold and defiant stare.
The bailiff opened the door of the
prisoners' dock and beckoned to her.
"Nance Belden," the judge queried,
"have you anything to say as to why
sentence should not be pronounced
upon you?"
"I've got a mouthpiece," the girl re-
torted. "Ask him!"
From a chair beside the counsels'
table a young man arose. "May It
please the court, the public defender
has withdrawn from this case and I
am now counsel for the defendant My
name is David Tyrrell. I am reliably
Informed, your honor, that, following
a fair and impartial trial, this de-
fendant has been convicted of the
crime of which she stands accused and
is now before the court for sentence."
"Mr. Tyrrell, your client is now un-
der a suspended sentence from the
Superior court, for the crime of grand
theft. She was there sentenced to two
years In San Quentin penitentiary, but
paroled for two years. Less than two
months have passed since she was
paroled, and today she stands before
the court for sentence under a charge
of petit larceny. The defendant evi-
dently is Incorrigible, and I Intend to
remand her to the Superior court for
commitment under the old charge of
grand theft."
"I thank your honor. I have been
retained In this apparently hopeless
case for the purpose of adducing a
sound reason why this defendant should
be neither sentenced under the pres-
ent charge nor remanded to the Su-
perior court for commitment under
sentence for the former crime. To that
end, your honor, I ask leave to present
an expert witness to testify to the
mental Irresponsibility of my client."
"One moment, please, Mr. Tyrrell.
Tour action would be merely wasting
your time and that of the court. I
shall remand the prisoner immediately
to the Superior court, with a request to
the Judge thereof that her case be
taken up Immediately. I sentence this
prisoner to ninety days In the county
Jail, but the sentence will be suspend-
ed during her good behavior for one
year from date. A bailiff will conduct
you, your expert witness and the de-
fendant at once to Department Number
Six of the Superior court, and I will
Immediately telephone to the Judge
and request that he listen to your ex-
pert witness."
As they entered the Superior court
the judge glanced at a document which
evidently had reached him from the
police magistrate's court "Mr. Tyrrell,
I understand you desire to present
some expert testimony in an effort to
prove the mental irresponsibility of
this defendant, Nance Belden. I may
state that I have already been in tele-
phonic communication with Doctor
Blethen, and have had a complete re-
port from him on this case. You may
proceed, however, to present your side
of It Who is your witness?"
"Dr. Stephen Burt, your honor," and
Tyrrell indicated Stephen.
"I know all about Doctor Burt," the
Judge said pleasantly. "I had him in
my court a year ago as an expert wit-
ness in the matter of the Carter will
case," he nodded to Stephen. "This
court Is very much interested in get-
ting at the facts In this case and it is
obliged to 3*ou for your voluntary at-
tendance. What is your professional
opinion of this girl's mentality?"
"I have not had a fair opportunity
to study her, your honor," Stephen re-
plied, "hence I am not in a position to
give the court more than a snap de-
cision."
"How long have you studied her?"
"About thirty minutes, your honor."
"H'm-m-m! Doctor Blethen examined
her on three different occasions, his
examinations embodying a total of
about six hours* time."
"With all due deference to my dis-
tinguished colleague," Stephen replied
with his singularly charming srnUp.
"six hours is not usually considered
mora than sufficient time to form an
approximate opinion, which subsequent
investigations may set at variance. If
this girl were to become a patient of
Bine today, I should devote many
weeks to an effort to demonstrate
my original opinion regar^lnj
fa error.'

employ the term, your honor. I should
say, rather, that her psychology is ab-
normal, that she Is neither moral nor
immoral, but unmoral. For Instance,
when I asked her why she stole silk
stockings, she told me quite frankly
that she did it because there were runs
in all her old stockings. That reply
was very illuminating. As I talked
further with her I noted her valiant
moods and quickly came to the con-
clusion that she is suffering from dis-
sociation by reason of shock. In other
words, this girl, who doubtless in hap-
pier days possessed a single personality
and that a normal one, has now ac-
quired a secondary personality. In
plain English, two entirely different
people inhabit the one body.
"The first personality, which I shall
call A, is the result of acquired in-
stincts, habit, education, and repres-
sions Imposed on society by convention
and the code of procedure which we
call morals. This has been submerged
wholly or in part by a second person-
ality, which I shall call B, and when
B personality rules her she has am-
nesia for what I have termed her ac-
quired or normal Instincts. Out of her
unconscious mind then emerge, as
definite impulses to action, the old an-
tipathies to such action, which we med-
ical men term conflicts.
"Let me Illustrate. We will assume
that at this moment she is possessed
of her personality A, and in this state
she realizes she has runs in all her
stockings—that she must have new
stockings, but she sees some stockings
which she can readily steal. Normal
people often have impulses to steal,
your honor, and Nance Belden has an
Impulse to steal the stockings she
needs.
"But here a factor Intervenes. She
has been taught, from the day she man-
ifested thought, that It Is wrong to
steal, and this moral lesson has im-
pressed Itself upon her conscious mind.
With repetition, the thought, becoming
have been a very potent reason for the
commission of such an unintelligent
act as theft. So immediately I com-
menced to question her as to her fam-
ily, her past.
"She could tell me nothing. She Is
not at all sure that her name Is Nance
Belden, and I am satisfied that her in-
ability to throw any light on her
genesis was not born of a desire to
withhold that information. I believe
she has amnesia for a certain period of
her life, and we know that such a
condition Is usually the result of a
severe mental shock. In such cases the
patient usually has an intense desire
to forget absolutely the unhappy, un-
pleasant or terrifying episode or per-
son that produced the shock, and so In-
tense is the power of will In certain
highly sensitive people, women par-
ticularly, that not infrequently they
succeed! Thus amnesia is produced.
It is, in a sense, autohypnosis, and your
honor undoubtedly is aware that peo-
ple who have been hypnotized remem-
ber nothing of what occurs during the
hypnotic state."
"I believe I follow you," the judge
murmured.
"I have shown you why the normal
Nance Belden would not steal. But
now comes that mental shock I spoke
of, with consequent amnesia for all of
her life that has preceded It; or It may
be a part of that life. With the am-
nesia comes what we term dissociation
or mental disintegration. The uncon-
scious overwhelms the conscious; the
acquired Instincts of morality—social
usage—drop out of the conscious into
the unconscious, and the thoughts and
impulses that have lain dormant and
defeated In the unconscious are now
in the saddle. Unfortunates who have
acquired dual personalities or a dis-
sociated personality go from one per-
sonality Into the other and back again,
with or without amnesia for the pre-
ceding state.
"At a time when Nance Belden's sec-
ond personality (B) ruled her, and she
decided to steal those stockings, she
was acting under the impulsion of an
idea that could not be combated. To steal

and That a Normal One, Has Now Acquired a Secondary Personality."
a habit, dropped out of her conscious
mind to become conserved in her un-
conscious mind. Conserved there, it
became a definite part of her person-
ality—her soul, if you will. Thereafter
it was not necessary to remind herself
that it was wrong to steal. She knew
It was, without having to think about
it at all, and this unconscious knowl-
edge was her protection in the fleeting
moment of temptation, aroused by her
definite need and the knowledge that,
lacking money to buy the stockings,
and faced with the absolute necessity
for acquiring stockings, the sole al-
ternative was to steal them. She got
no further than that vague, conscious
thought Immediately the knowledge
that it was immoral to steal—that noth-
ing could possibly excuse theft—rose
out of her unconscious mind and be-
came a dominating conscious thought.
Now, right there appeared the mental
phenomenon known among psychiatrists
as a complex or conflict In all con-
flicts the stronger wins—and in this
particular mental conflict, the will not
to steal won instantly. It was an
older habit of thought It was an ac-
quired instinct whereas the impulse to
steal was not a habit of thought be-
cause she had never indulged in theft!
We say we do a thing on Instinct, but
really we act after due, if Incalculably
brief cogitation, based on reason, which
is the result of habituation tdTjflping
certain things.

had become an acquired instinct, or at
least a very strong instinct. There
may have been a certain amount of re-
pression against the act at first, but
gradually that repressive instinct, I. e.,
her moral instincts, ence part of her
conscious mind but now relegated to
her unconscious mind, grew weaker,
until finally the stronger instinct won,
and the result is, we have Nance Bel-
den up before your honor for commit-
ment to San Quentin penitentiary on a
suspended sentence for grand theft."
"Have you any theory as to what
this mental shock might be, Doctor
Burt?"
"I have a very definite theory as to
what prepared the ground, so to speak,
for the mental shock, hut I have not
the slightest Idea of the nature of the
shock."
"This Is most Interesting, Doctor
Burt. Pray explain."
"Look carefully at this defendant,
your honor. You see a young woman

mal height for a woman of her age,
which I Imagine to be about twenty-
one or twenty-two. How much do you

"A hundred and twenty-eight,

ordinarily well-cut bloomers. Make It
of cotton or sheer wool.
