Pearson?" “T never liked him or disliked him,” Gibson replied “Did Pearson have authority to pro- hibit your private practice of law?

BY REX COLLIER. The youth just leaving his 'teens is at the danger milestone on the path- way which will decide whether he is to become a respectable citizen or a criminal. A study of crime statistics com- piled by the Federal Bureau of Inves- tigation for last month reveals that 19 is the age when crimes of all kinds are committed most frequently and that 20 is the age when a man is most likely to beceme a murderer. 5 Per Cent Under 19 Years. Approximately 5 per cent of the| 34.061 persons whose fingerprints were | received by the bureau during May | that for any other age group. About one-third of these youths were charged with burglaries and thefts of other description. Approxi- mately one-third of those arrested for automobile theft were between the | ages of 17 and 19. | Homicide was committed more fre- | quently by persons aged 20 than by those of any other age, the records disciose. Of the persons arrested for | murder during May, 54 per cent were 20 yvears old. That crime begins early in life is shown by the fact that during the month 36 per cent of all persons ar- rested by State and municipal police agencies were under 25, an age when maturity is presumed to have been | fully attained. | Youths Steal Autos. | Automobile theft, which includes the prevalent offense known as joy- riding, is more attractive to the youth- ful law-breaker than any other cflme,‘ More than 47 per cent of persons ar-| rested for this offense were under 21| and more than 68 per cent were | under 25. The compilation shows that 73| youths under 21 were charged with homicide last month, 316 were arrested | for robbery, 1.110 were charged with burglary, 1,238 were held for larceny | and 426 were accused of automobile theft. More than half of all persons ar- rested for robbery, burglary and auto- mobile theft were under 25. Persons in the older age groups com- mit embezzlement and fraud more fre- | quently than the younger element.! AGONY!
