dueed by speakers, said to be com-
munists, to stage a riot at Detroit.
The result is fourth deaths and many
wounded.
The police were forced to fire into
j the mob after retreating almost a
mile. Most of the victims were pro-
J bably unfortunates who joined in the
crowd to see what it was all about.
The real leaders of such a movement
usually remain in the background and
this was the case at the Detroit riot-
ing. The speakers who incited the
riot were reported far in the rear
when the trouble started. They shov-
j ed some misguided girl into the front
! lines to encourage the rioters to at-
jtack.

to chart actual percentages, have been
gathered that go far to prove that,
perhaps, more than half of all crim-
inal convictions in this country are
based, in some degree or other, on
evidence of a circumstantial nature.

years, and under taken privately by
one of the most famous and authori-
tative penologists in the country,
; tends to show that a deplorably large
percentage of such convictions are
