for the increase, he believes. Is due 10
the promisCuous sale OF firearms, which.
he declares should be strngently regu-
lated by law.
In making public these crime figures.
Mr. Rotan drew attention TO the fact
that murders alone did not indicate the
full menace of the unrestricted sale or
revovers and ammunition, for many
other persons We're shot but recovered.
and so do not appear in the statistics or
his department.
The number of murders in recent
years has more than doubled" the Dis
trict Attorney said land the figures
show conClusively and beyond all doubt
or argument that we are in need of
stringent law regulating the sale and
posse ssion OF firearms.
Their unregulated sale is a distinct
aid to the burglar. hghwayman and
automobile bandit in carrying out his
criminal designs.
We are facing a simple proposition
Gf safeguarding the public. and the
adoption of such a law. with the most
stringent sort of penalty should not be
longer delayed.
MANY attacks which have resulted in
murder would have been nothing more
than painful. but not serious assaults.

TO get, and dangerous to possess, fire.

The District Attorney also said that
bondsmen for criminals who forfeit

their crimes may expect no sympathy
