Abstract
cases of murder and official corruption. Such cases, hideously exploited by a large section of the press, seem to satisfy that same cruel lust in men that made the games of the later Roman Empire so popular. Not even a good old-fashioned hanging, with the crowd alternately jeering and cheering the last speech of the doomed, could compete in cruel mockery with a prolonged modern trial of first page, double headline attraction.
