CRIME STALKS ABROAD"
Why is it the Courts Seem 20 Con-
yict the Wrong Man?


Statesville Landmark
The Landmark has had something
to asy on occasion about the failure
of the courts to punish crime and
thus deter the lawless. 1t is about
to conclude that 1t is mistaken. Con-
victs are released from the State
prison and county chain gangs every
few days on petitions Of many citi-
Zens," jurors and court officers, in
Guiding trial judges and solicitors,
and in the majority of cases the ex-
cuse in asking for the pardon is eth
er that the prisoner was improperly
convicted or that the sentence was
too severe. This being so, it must
be that the courts are not only
wrongfully convicting lot of folks
but that the judges are too severe
in their sentences. Many Of us had
thought 1t was the other way. but We
must be mistaken. Meantime crime
increases and the lawless are unre-
strained, but it seems from the par
don record that the courts generally
get hold of the wrong man. Hence
we may again conclude that the
courts are something of a failure,
not in their failure to convict and
punish but in convicting the wrong
people and being too severe in pun
ishment.

of her mind, Miss Frances HolIander,
who says she is member of wealthy
Chicago family, was arraigned in the
West Side court today charged with OBJ
tanning goods under false pretense. The
young woman, who is handsome and was
exquisitely gowned, said that she had
been a student of art and literature for
four years in a convent in Baltimore.
When arrested she declared that she was
a student at Wellesley, but today she
broke down and confessed.
Without the knowledge of her family
she recently came to New York from
Roanoke, Va, where she had been visiting
a girl chum. She exceeded her allowance,
she said. and had to sell her motor car
and dismiss her chauffeur. In her apart
ments in the Hotel Astor, number of
new gowns, none of which had ever been
worn, were found
Miss Hollander had spent the night in
a cell and was on the verge of collapse
when arraigned.
