PRISON LENIENCY STIRS CALIFORNIAIH Killing of Parole Violator in Robbery Attempt Arouses Critics. Bpecial Dispatch to The Stak. SAN FRANCISCO, July 4—Leniency toward criminals through indetermi- nate sentences and easy paroles is under severe fire here as a result of the recent killing of a parole violator while he Was attempting to hold up & grecery store. The criticism develops as the. police continue their month-old cam- paign of arrests against vagrants in an effort to drive criminal elements out of the city. The case which aroused protest against the parole of habitual criminals was that of Emil C. Quiroz, whose record of I violations dates back to 1924, when. the age of 15, he was convicted of stealing an automobile. He ‘was earrested during 1925, °26 and '27 on various burglary and robbery charges and finally sentenced in 1927 to the penitentiary for from five years to life. The sentence was set at eight years by the State Prison Board and he was paroled after serving four years and ! four months. Broke Probation and Parole. Although he previously had violated both probation and parole, critics of the leniency system point out, he was paroled from prison without recogmen= dation from the court which sentenced him, or the district attorney's office. ‘Three months after his parole, during ‘which time he was in jail for vagrancy, he successfully held up a drug store, but twenty minutes later was shot dead with his own gun, wrested from his hand by an irate grocer whom he attempted to rob. Critics of the Jaws which provide for intermediate sentences and easy pa- roles and of the State Board of Prison Terms and Paroles which administers the laws are asking why habitual criminals and parole violators are turned loose to prey upon the public. Members of the board are inclined to admit that a mistake was made in Quiroz's case, due to lack of informa- tion in the board’s hands when the last parole was granted, but contend that the parole system generally is suc- cessful. Defenders of the systém state that only about 15 per cent of paroled | convicts violate the terms of their pa- role. Claim System Justified. “If the salvage out of every 100 pa- rpled prisoners is 85—if this numl makes good—the parole system is shown to be justified,” said a member of the board in answer to criticism. On the other hand, & crime expert of the Police Department states: “So kindly are the prisoners of the present day being treated, with their paroles, their base ball games and other social activities, together with short hours of ‘work, that they have no fear of prison. just as soon take a chance at night. August Vollmer, internationally known police executive, who has just retired as chief at Berkeley, criticizes the present parole system as anti- quated, in that it aims at punishment instead of rehabilitation. Granting the sincerity of the members of the Board of Prison Ter:n]: and P-ll;olzs, he states the work c for the specialized knowledge of psychiatrists and others who know how to deal with criminal psychology.
