T |PAROLE SYSTEM ABUSES TURN CRIMINALS LOOSE ON SOCIETY Life Sentence Meant Only 14 Years in New York Un- {il Recently. Judge Scores Evasion of Jury Service by So-Called “Good Citizens.” Article VI. BY LOUIS SEIBOLD. Under the present system of pun- York State, a r is much longer to a law-abiding 7en than to the convicted criminal. Until the recent passage by the Legislature of an act now in effect, a | 3 sentence” actually meant a little ars. In the future a will mean a life sen- more than 14 “life sentence The new law abolishes the practice of granting a prisoner convicted of manslaughter _reductions of three months out of every vear for good conduct and obedience to prison rules. The new laws are also going to fall ily on felons convicted of crimes other than the taking of life by in- crcasing definite sentences by from 16 to G0 pes cent. This is done to make way of the transgressor harder than it has been in the past. At the same time some measure of the spresent benefits of indeterminate sentences are to be preserved to the convieted criminal. Twenty-five-Year Crime Record. The 25-vear criminal history of John Sawey. alias Sawyer, alias Burke, lias Thompson, alias Miller, etc., is an example of what a judge’s sentence ay mean in actual practice. Sawey 15 first arrested in 1901 in Passaic | forgery. In 1909 he served a year in the New York County penitentiary. In 1910 he | was arvested in Pittsburgh for pleking pockets and received an hour to leave the city. The same vear he jumped il in Boston on a larceny charge. In 11 a larceny sentence of a year In Tialtimore failed to hold him, for less | than - later he was arrested in Dover g The Dover court sent him to the New Jersey. reformatory, from which ne was paroled. In 1916 he appeared in a Passaic court again for forgery. This time he forged President Wilson's name. In the same year Sawey was rrested in New Jersey for imperson- ating an officer. Two years later he was sentenced to serve one to three years in New Jersey for a false pre- tense charge. Eleven months later he was arrested in Columbus, Ohio, for forgery. Seven cears was his lot this time, but even that did not hold him, for by 1922 he was back on the job in Texas and re- ceived a 10-year sentence. This time he escaped and is now passing checks in Mississippi. Parole System Acute Tssue. Thus after a quarter-century of criminal operations all the way from impersonating_a policeman to imper- | sonating the President of the United | States on a check Sawey served only about five: years in prison, although he was sentenced to at least 22 years | on his various convictions. The merits and demerits of the parole system have been the subject | of acute controversy for many years The theory upon which it was hased was that men who had fallen by the wayside should recelve an oppor- tunity to rehabilitate themselves and become useful members of soclety. the parole system was certainly not intended to make it easier for the habitual or vicious aggressor to re- sume his quest for “‘easy money,” ob- tained either by the gun or less violent methods. That there have been many abuses of the parole system is admlited, due | to politics to a very large extent, but more generally to the lack of team- work and understanding among the courts, the executive pardoning power and the parole board. Co-ordination Ts Lacking. The Izzy Presser case was a recent example of the lack of co-ordination between the prison department. the executive and the board. Presser was a notorfous gunman and bootlegger. He was due to be released from Sing Sing after serving a fixed or determi- nate sentence for burglary. There was against him, however, a charge of having escaped from Great Mea- dows prison. He told A ted erinter cock-and-bull story about ped against his will.

Mr. Alger, the | commissioner _designated mith, may clear up the when he makes his final report Should Probe Politics of Case. The mefibers of the parole board contended they had no right to hold Pressed any longer than his definite In this position they were sup- | ported by Superintendent of Prisons Long. The superintendent assumed personal responsibility for the failure of his department to insist upon Pres- <er paying the penalty for escaping from Great Meadow. | To what extent politics played a part in the Presser case is vet to be disclosed. In the opinion of a great many persons the case should receive the most thorough scrutiny The Presser case is used a g an ex ! ample of the working of the parole system. The following table pro vides a comprehensive picture of the parole system as it functioned up to the enactment of the new laws: Reductions.

For robbery in the first degree, the new penalty is the same for U glary, 15 _vears to life. the previously | existing distinction between the two crimes being eliminated Sentences Are Increased.

No s criminals has been stem of handjps professional lved in this | criminals. | been country. If they are captured, tried, convicted and_sentenced, they come out of jail ready to take up their pro- fession’ again and keep at it until they are again incarcerated. The system of preventive detention developed during recent years in Eng- land has been found highly success- ful in protecting society from the rav- ages of such professional criminal Penologists who have studied the En lish law find it possessed of many merits and the suggestion has fre. quently heen made that American States adopt some similar plan. “Preventive Detention.” “Preventive detention” is the name given to a form of custody proyided by the prevention-of-crime act passed by the British Parliament in 1908. The judge has the power (o pass a sentence of penal servitude for the particular crime charged in the in- dictment. In addition, he may pass # further sentence, ordering the de- tention of the prisoner for not more than 10 years after his regular penal sentence has been completed. This additional sentence may be im- vosed only if the jury finds, on due evidence, “that the offender is “an habitual criminal.” The English law classes as “habituals” all persons who have been at least three times con- victed of crime since they were 16 years old and who “are persistently leading a dishonest or criminal life.” Discussing the situation in England, Sir Ivelyn Ruggles-Brise, chairman of the Prison Commission for England and Wales, said: “It is interesting to observe that as we descend from the best to the worst there Is a proportionate increase of crime against property until it can be almost said that the professional crim- inal constitutes a separate and pecul- iar class which demands a special and peculiar treatment. Dishonest by Choice. “His crime is not due to special causes, such as sudden passion, drunk- enness or temporary distress, but to a settled intention to gain a living by dishonesty ' _Parliament in passing the preven- tive detention bill explained its atti- tude as follows: “In the case of such persons a sen- tence of imprisonment has neither a deterrent nor a reformatory effect, and in the interest of society the only thing to be done with them is to segre- gate them from society for a long period of time. It may not be neces- sary during that period of time that their punishment should be a severe one. All that is wanted is that they should be under discipline and compul- sory segregation from the outside world."” At Camp Hill, on the Isle of Wight, | a prison for professional or habitual criminals has been erected. On con- cluding their penal terms in the ordi. nary prisons “habituals” are sent to Camp Hill. Here by good conduct they soon gain such privileges as smoking, access to newspapers, asso- ciation at meals and a small wage with which to make purchases at the prison canteen. Results Are Excellent. As their sentences near completion they are allowed more and more lib. erty until such men as are qualifying | for conditional discharge are sent to live in the ‘“‘parole lines.” Here they have almost complete freedom, disci- pline is relaxed and they are tested for a return to coraplete liberty. Education, moral and spiritual in- fluences and the effects of discipline which they experience during their stay at Camp Hill generally have a salutary effect on the professional Although the interference f the war delayed developments, sta- tistics of the Camp Hill experiment how excelient resuits. From the time the act came into operation in 1909 until 1, 577 “habituals” were sent to Camp HIll. Of these 389 were released at the time the figures were gathered. Only 64 of these were held until their full terms were up. The rest were found ufficlently reformed to be released earlier on parole. The most significant figures reported by the Central Prisons Association are that 210 of the 389 men released after thefr preventive detention expired have reporting satisfactorily ever since. In other words, 54 per cent of the group sent to Camp Hill were saved from a further life of profes. slonal crime. CHAPTER I1. contribution to the sym on crime conditions Judge Rosals of the Court of General Ses- sfons makes many striking sugges- tions for the complete remodeling of police. prosecuting and judicial agencies. .

Judge Rosalsky hastened to add that he “is not ignorant of the fact that punishment often fails to discourage other crimes.” He cited Robert Inger- Soll's story that the witness of a hang- ing in Alexandria, Va., murdered a peddler in Washington the same after- noon and that a witness of his execu- tion for murder killed his wife two hours later. g “Punishment may fail sometimes,” Judge Rosalsky went on. “but at least a stiff minimum sentence will keep the consistent evildoer in jail, and if it does not cure him it will protect so- ciety as long as he is confined. So- ciety has a right to defend itself as well as the individual. Society does not punish the transgressor for ven- geance, but to put him out of harm’s way. Judge Rosalsky expressed himself in avor of the segregation of hardened ofessional criminals. First offend- he believes, should be kept awa. from the vicious types and allowed special privileges. “The parole system wants overhaul- " he went on. “The unqualified members ‘of the board should not be continued in service, but experienced criminologists and_penologists should ace them. Paroles should be granted subject to the approval of the judge who imposed the sentence. Mercy is a great thing, but should be seientifically dispensed. Where greater mercy is needed i3 in looking after the éx-conviets' welfare. A commis- sion should be established for this work.” Jury Dodging Is Menace. According to Judge Rosalsky. one of the great difficulties in dealing prop- erly with the crime situation is the attitude of the general public. He finds that the evasion of jury service by the city's “most representative men” is becoming a menace to the course of justice. “To aid In decreasing such eva- sion,” he suggested to the writer, “the four or five week period of jury serv- ice in criminal cases should be re- duced. The prosecuting attorneys be- lieve that during the first week or two thé inexperienced juror is deceived by attorneys’ tricks. 1 do not think this is a real danger, however.” One of the most interesting sugges- tions made to the writer by Judge Rosalsky was in regard to the bail bond situation. He suggested that surety companies be forbidden to fur- nish bail in criminal cases. “These are not altruistic organiza- tions,” he said, ‘‘and only recently the agent of one surety company was con- victed of taking the proceeds of a me as security for a bail bond.” Judge Rosalsky's view is that the major crimes committed in New York and other metropolitan centers are the work of notorious and desperate bandits and not of novices. These men, he says, work in gangs which are highly organized for offensive and defensive purposes, and plan their ac- tivities in detail with the circumspec- tion of a merchant about to engage on some new business venture. ““They do not rob and then look for a means of converting the stolen goods into cash.” Judge Rosalsky said, “but arrange for a purchaser in advance of the crime. They know the faces of the detectives and the routine of each policeman in the area of the crime they plan. They lay their plans cun- ningly so as to make every move un- der cover. The small number of po- lice who are on the streets of Ameri- can cities are useless in the present situation. If we had a larger army of police, the fixed post system and a municipal secret service, we would be in a position to fight the criminal army on equal terms and could bring them to bpok without further delay. Blocked by Sentimentality. “I would not allow sentimentality to loose upon society men who would only resume their criminal activities with a vengeance inspired by their previous detention. Law enforce- ment agencies and the courts will do their best to rid society of this menace. “But our best efforts are offset con- stantly by sentimentalist organiza- tions, which do their utmost to obtain liberty for criminals, a large majority of whom at once renew their preying on soclety, Sentimentalism, short sen: tences, premature release of hardened eriminals are all directly related to increasing criminality. “Just about half the serious crimes committed are by persons who have been previously convicted of one of- fense or another. The statistical per- centage would be even higher if our records enabled us to trace the histor: of each accused man properly. The parole board has the power to detain first offenders beyond the minimum sentence. Whenever there is good reason to do so, it should avall itself of this power."” | A further difficulty which the judges | ssessecee, This is the time to fill your coalbin, but first thought should be given to the qual- ity of your coal.

Lee Crandall, aged 94, a soldier of the Confederacy who later served his reunited States as loyally as he had served the cause of the South in the Civil War, died yesterday morning at his home, 1822 Calvert street. He wus the oldest Federal Government employe. Death came as a result of a severe cold recently contracted, which kept him away from his Federal duties last Friday and Saturday, the only two days of absence on account of sick- ness in his more than 12 years of serv- ice as deputy collector of internal rev- enue. In those 12 years Col. Crandall took only 5 days of annual leave, whereas he was entitled to 30 days ach year. He was located in the of- fice at 1422 Pennsylvania avenue. A man of unusual vigor for his age, the sturdy veteran time after time had proven himself superior in strength to men of much younger years. On the occasion of the funeral of President Harding, Col. Crandall, through the sweltering heat of that sad day, toiled the full length of the funeral march up Pennsylvania ave- nue from the White House to the Capitol, wearing the warm woolen gray uniform of a Confederate col- onel. He kept on, trudging up the hill at the Capitol. where many vet- erans of the World War dropped out of line overcome by the heat. He was always at his office early and was known among his assoclates for his tireless activity. Loyal to Modern Youth. Full of enthusiasm and faith in the younger generation, Col. Crandall was known for his energetic gestures while conversing. He would slap his hand down on a table or pound his knee avith great gusto while relating an in- cident and never complained of ill health. His death cuts short hopes he had cherished for years of celebrating his one hundredth birthday and the two hundredth George Washington anni- very now in prospect. It was Col. Crandall's pride that he served as confidential staff officer | to Gen. “Stonewall” Jackson and du ing Jackson’s campaign in the Valley of Virginia was the only aide permit- ted to enter the general's tent, day or night, on speclal business, His love for the Confederacy and his pride in the wounds and impris- onment he suffered as a soldier of the South were matched by his devo- tion to his reunited country of today and his respect for the modern youth and life, “The girl of today,” according to Lee Crandall, in an interview on his recent last birthday, ‘despite her short skirts, her cigarette case, her lipstick and her penchant for the Charleston, is just as good morally and mentally as the more demure young lady of the days of the long dress and the minuet.” No, sir,” he insisted at that time, “1 don't believe in all this.talk about the world getting worse. TI've lived a long time and watched a lot of gene- rations grow up, and I will stick to my contention that times are improv- ing_right along.” Temperate in -his diet, Col Crandall for years had abstained from meat, was fond of soups and milk, and religiously drank every morning be- fore breakfast a pint of warm water. Born in New York. Born in 1832 at South Berlin, N. Y., Col. Crandall went South and entered the Confederate army as captain of | Company T of the $th Loulsiana In- | fantry. He took part in the first bat- tle of Bull Run. He with Gen. ‘kson through the Valley of Vir- ginia, and at Cross Keys was wounded in the wrist. He was promoted to | major by Gen. Jackson and later the Confederate secretary of war ordered him to report to Gen. Price at Lit- tle Rock. He was made colonel of the face, according to Judge Rosalsky, is the "“lack of respect on the part of many criminal lawyers for the court and the lawyers’' practice of resort- ing to all sorts of devices to trip the judge and prejudice him in the eyes of the jury, making it appear he is unfair.” (Copyright. 1926.)

He later lived in Loulsiana, Alabama and Philadelphia, where he represented the old New York Daily Graphic, and later came to Washing- ton, where he founded the National View.
