Evil let loose

Whoever uses his developed mental powers like an es- caped felon to commit fresh atrocities as opportunity oc- curs is never safe. God will arrest him. Di- vine justice will manacle him. His sins will be millstones about his neck, weighing him down to the depths of ignominy and death. The aggravation of er- ror foretells its doom, and confirms the ancient axiom: "Whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad."
