True the Book is fiction an historical but fiction mixed skilfully with fact. It s the Story of the Early Days of Selkirk s red River settlers and it s written with a verve and Force that wrenches the people of that Day out of the Musty pages of history and Back to life. Over the Atlantic or. Jennings fortunately does not try to cram everything into this Book. He follows Selkirk first few settlers from trouble Glens of Scotland Over the a lactic through the York Factor area Down to the Forks of t h ked and the Assiniboine and de tails their first few years there essentially this is the Story o the clash for Power Between the boisterous North West fur com Pany and the More sober industrious Folk of the Hudson s a company Selkirk s Winni Eggers of any Perman ence will be Quick to recognize the old landmarks of this area including storied seven Oaks scene of the massacre of govern or Semple and his band Parson age Creek nearby fort Daer Colony gardens fort Gibraltar and Many others.

London dam he one Day in the year 1887, there appeared in the strand Magazine the first Story of new series. The Story was Ritten by Arthur Conan Doyle and it was the first of a series of adventures of a Superior Type of elective. His name Wass Sherck Holmes. Thus was introduced a new Crary character whose name is of a household word in coun tries All Over the world and whose adventures have been imitated parodied acted on the stage and made into films Well Over a Hun John Murrey Toronto Kan j r Rcd separate films have a. Geared to Sherlock Holme clubs and Cults have sprung int existence and the Centenary o the supposed birth Date of Thi fictional detective was solemn celebrated in London this year b intelligent and otherwise responsible men. This May seem toe much to some people and even sir Arthur Conan Doyle tried to rid himself of his own creation by heaving him Over a precipice in one Story Only to find that pub lie outcry later forced him to of feet a miraculous escape for be More stories to follow. However whatever one s Atti last testament cell death Row to Cory Chou Mon 3t1 up. New York Tiee Holl inc. Caryl Chessman is a Young Man of 33 who has been much in the news lately. He a again awaiting death in Cali Lornia s Gas chamber for Kidnap ing and rape a felony which under California Law carries the death sentence and it is because of a succession of appeals am court delays that he has made he news columns to such wide extent because already two exe cution dates have passed and the test Date has been set for late n july. Chessman has one Chance left however an Appeal to the supreme court of the United states. This is the condemned Man s in Story written by himself in a cell Only a few Yards from that Quat ugly Green room in san Quentin prison where he May yet Pend his last minutes alive. Unlike most books undertaken in prisoners who Lancy they have Story and a message for the cell 2455, death Row is so excellently written that if automatically suggests the hand of an expert craftsman. But Caryl Chessman wrote this Book word or word perhaps As an act of a nutrition and it is studded with Rose up studies of problems of criminal in the commission the crime arrest trial the Erving of his time and perhaps he biggest problem of the lot hat to do after release. Chessman is an Apt writer be Ause his education was such by r. N. Hat even among the highly Edu ated he rates the class of Genius serving one term he be ame a teacher of typing Short and English business English and bookkeeping. He found great satisfaction in teaching an Arnest group of illiterates to Ead and write. O outwit others his criminal tendencies Pon him until his whole being As saturated with a desire to twit others and to Money. Prison officials had aged him As a constitutional psychopathic personality with title Chance of living within the a after release. Chessman in the telling of his Ory shows time and again that in prison officials were right Hen it became a problem a very which he recognized and could not beat and he found that despite his education and a profound love for his respectable parents hug life was to tally consecrated to crime and to violence against society. His Story Points up in alarm ing sequences How a creative Genius became a destructive Caryl Chessman author of cell 245s, Row Genius How a Man with an enormous capacity to love turned to and worshipped hate. In the telling Chessman s Story carries much of the horrifying excitement that clouded his Young the rides on his furious and daring escapes from the olice the dodging of bullets from rival criminals the methods used in red Light District hold ups the All too fleeting Noble thoughts and his Aims to help his Mother and a aged father. And you will sit with him in death Row and catch his reflect ions As he becomes. Friendly with men who later walk past his door to the Little Green room and task out their last breath with a i Nile or a sneer or an unholy curse. At this writing that is the path Chessman is to take too. He has ought his own Case in court on everal occasions and now agrees that he who defends himself has a fool for a he has had Good lawyers in his recent at Temps to save himself from the Gas chamber. Chessman has spent More than one third of his 33 years in confinement. He has studied Law and presents a picture of a Man who is a professional criminal and has also become a an authoritative criminologist and lawyer. His Book brings the message of the criminal and it also brings a question what does capital punishment accomplish with a Corpse Chessman answers his own question thus his execution will deter no one it will gain society nothing it will prove no Hing. It will simply mean that Hei will be dead and that in his Case the problem he typifies has been evaded. That will leave us right Back where we started with a Corpse a liquidated half investment and at East two More recruits from the criminal ranks ready and eager to take the dead Chessman s place. You can hardly Call that Progress can but this is not a Book solely against capital punishment nor does it Supply an answer to what ails the criminal nor the pre scribed remedy to cure that ill Ness. It is a documentary record of one of the most wretched lives lived. You won t especially Pel sorry for Chessman As an individual but it is an even bet you will be moved to give some Hought to Chessman s present plight the cause of it perhaps you la be moved to try think up a new Way to Deal with such children of darkness in the caged cells of the world s prisons. That seems to be Chessman s main theme. His written thoughts suggest he knows he is like a ironing Man going Down for the Jird time under circumstances caused by himself. His Strong is for society to prevent such circumstances being allowed to develop so that youngsters of to Day won t find themselves in a similar plight. It is Well aimed at the minds f the masses with the hop that perhaps it will inspire an answer an unreasonable Hope per maps if it some Day in the future vanishes the need for scaffolds electric chairs and Gas Chambers. And if it stays the hand of violence and casts out the evil rom the hearts and minds of men. Tude to any excessive adulation May be one must be a poor fish indeed having read the stories not to feel some affection for the almost infallible Holmes and for Good old reliable Watson or to feel pleasurable anticipation As a yet unknown hand violently pulls the Doorbell ar221b Baker Street. It is a measure of the death Les Ness of the Holmes tradition that Adrian Conan Doyle son of sir Arthur and John Dickson 2arr, the detective Story writer have combined their talents to produce a new Book of Holmes stories. They set themselves a special ask. Part of sir Arthur s Genius n writing the original stories was to leave certain things in said. In his own imagination he knew the two main characters so Well that he did not find it always necessary to explain in full de ail some Points in their personal histories or some episodes in heir adventures. These omis Sions have been the cause of Nuch animated discussion among Holmes enthusiastic particularly on such subjects As he fixing of the birthrate of the detective and on deciding whether he was an Oxford or a Cambridge Man and readers Lave been left yearning to know he full significance of some Fleet no references to cases which found full of Promise but which were never set out in the original tories. Adrian Conan Doyle and Rohn Dickson Carr have Woven Riveir new tales round some of hese passing references.
