to is the demoralizing effect such a picture film would have. It would
tend to make a hero out of this man, and I don't propose that the young
shall be allowed to worship him as a hero.

"I understand, however, that a motion picture concern, when it found
how we had frustrated its attempts to secure an actual picture of
Schrank actually reproduced a scene of taking Schrank from the county
jail to the city hall by palming off another man who resembles Schrank.

"In order to reproduce a scene of taking him from the jail, they picked
out a building that resembled the jail, the Ivanhoe temple. They
reproduced Schrank emerging from the 'jail' between two bogus deputy
sheriffs. Later some one told me the same performance was repeated at

During the time Schrank was confined in jail he showed signs of

the prisoners noticed a happy look on his face which had not been
visible before during his imprisonment. After the religious people had
left the jail Schrank mingled more than had been his wont with the
other prisoners, and seemed to be in high spirits.

When Gustave Struber delivered an address to the prisoners in German

There is nothing about Schrank which portrays the human fiend.

On the contrary, he is a very ordinary type. There are hundreds of
thousands men of his very type, and who are peaceable citizens.

The only way that Schrank differs from other men is in mind. He
undoubtedly is a degenerate possessing a depraved and diseased mind,
but there i
