CRIMINAL CAREER OF BOBBED BANDIT ENDS, BUT CONDITIONS THAT CAUSED IT STILL LIVE (BY ROBERT T. SMALL, (Copyright, 1924, The Casper Tribune). NEW YORK, May 8.—The criminal career of the so- called “bob haired bandit” has been ended, so the New York authorities hope, by her sentence to Auburn prison for the limit provided by the law. But the conditions which produced the “bob haired bandit” continue to exist in-New York City, and at least one of the-conditions will continue probably to the end of time, This latter is the old domestic tragedy— the love of a woman for a drunken, worthless husband. It was the “bob haired bandit’ mother who loved the man. She married him to “re- form him.” She indulged him in every way. She had eight children by him. But as each child came it was neglected so that the mother might go out to work as a scrub woman to get more money for the man’s liquor. Also at night she had to go out to rescue him from the drunken brawls’ thpt vere constantly his lot. The polfce arrested him too seldom, but when they did the wife would take all her money to pay his fines. Eventually the children were sent out ‘on the streets to beg. The money they got by the exhibition of their pitiful Mttle undernourished frames under the dirty rags upon their backs, did not go for food or clothing. It went for more drink for: the father. .
