Why do mf? go wrong? v The answer of ten of the inost bard ened convicts in the llllnoi* *tate peni tentiary to the U* enforcement com mlttee 6| the American Har aseocta tiou, Investigating the caiiaea of tSxt nation-wide crime wave here Thursday, was? women Men serving long somtencea for every major crime on the statute hooka were -t?r?mght into tbo liUOe room in the prison to tell their story to the com mittee. The committee is composed, of some of the most noted crlmlnologfet? in the country J Clias. 8 Whitman, for mer governor of Now York , Judge Marcus Kavannaugh. Chicago; Judge William H Sawney, Chattanooga ; Char les W Famham, St. raul, 'and Wade Kills, Washington. Man after man was brought Lai to toll his story ; not as1 a prisoner before u judge, but as man to man. Murderers serving life terms, old and bent ; * ick ipockets, young and furtive; swindlers with still a trace of the debonair; bank clerks who embezsled, one of them a handsome, upstanding clear-eyed maa>? they all bad the same tale to tell be fore they bad finished their recitals women, good and bad. The good women, in the majority of cases, were their mothers. They bad died, in three cases, when their sons, now convicts, were young and needed them most. The bad women were the red-lipped, pleasure-loving girts whom they met when they were reaching manhood. Demands for gay night life, the bright lights of cabarets, fine clothes and Jewels, with the most lavish affection for the man who spent the most. "1 met such a girt when I was just geting to know life," said the first con vict. "Most boys meet one lfice her be tween the ages of 18 and 20 years. If is at a time in his life when he is not making much money. In order to take this girl around to cabarets be has to have more money. It is an easy step to stealing. If he doesn't get. the money the girl will go with someone else. At that age he thinks be must have her. "When lie steals he learnb there are organized gangs of thieves. He finds they have their own lawyers, their pro fessional bondsmen 'and professional witnesses. When he belongs to a gang he has a good chance to get off. Tlay ing a lone hand he is a mark. He gets in with the gang. Thousands of boys are doing It today. Girls are demand ing more. Fine clothes awl fun is their life. If a man has a good home, a good mother or wife, be rearely goes wrong. Another convict blamed fast women and nlglit life; a convict sent up for a whiskey robbery said he had "never even cheated on his income tax" until prohibition came in. .. ? One old-timer, t nervously facfeMg ;Jhe committee, pleaded "for segregation of first offenders. "Youngsters come down here and arc thrown in jwlth hardened criminals," he wild. "Criminals talk nothing but crime, v* low they pulled their last job : how they got away; h<?w they wer<* doubie-crossed, the big Job they ar^ going to pull when ?hey_get out. It fills the first offender's mind full of - easy-money schemes." Mrs Mary Freed, Atlantic City's fir? woman justice of the peace, has ap pointed her hustoaod as her constable.
