DISTRICT ATTORNEY SAVES
YOUNG MAN FROM JAIL
Youth Who Claims to Be Son OF Prom
inent Resident of Denmark Is
Placed on Probation
for One Year

C. Hanson, the young man who
pleaded guilty to the charge of steal
ing leather goods from store on
South Broadway, was yesterday placed
on probation for one year by Judge
Smith of the superior court.
Hanson came to Los Angeles two
weeks ago. He said he had worked in
Alaska. and after leaving that part of
the country went to San Francisco,
where he could find no work. The
same conditions, he said, prevailed in
Los Angeles, and he was compelled to
steal. Hanson says he is the son of a
prominent man living in a Denmark
city.
Il don't like this idea of young men
running about the country. keeping
away from work and breaking our
laws" said the court However. on
