George Collins. Il young man. was
hanged I'm st. Louis recently. a few
| bours before his execution he said In
an interview with newspaper report
or: "My parents never gave me
show" Nor did lie say this because
of piquc, nor to justify himself. As
revealed by his lifc's history what
he said was true. The boy did not
get fair chance at life. In fact his
| parents gave him no chance at all.
His father and mother were unfit for
parcnthood. They allowed their son
to grow up In the streets. There was
no home atmosphere nor influence nor
training. The only training was in
the direction of evil. Very early In
life young Collins came into conflict
with the police. They pronounced him
bad lot and finally had him sent to
"thc reform school, In this school
Collins simply took post graduate
in vice. After thus fitting himself for
criminal career he was released to
prey upon society. The road to the
scaffold was a short one. Primarily
the blame rests with the parents. Had
they given him a fair chance he could
then blame himself for his wrong.
