Chronic Criminals Must
Report to Parole Board
Released Convicts Can BE Re-
called to Prison by State
Commission

oSSINING, May lathe chronic
and professional criminals in Sing
Sing were disappointed when Informed
to-day that Governor Miller has just
signed the bill which will compel them,
like first offenders, to be released con
parole" This means that the old
timers will be watched over as care
fully by the State Board of Parole in
the future as the tirst-termers have
been in the past.
Hereafter when any prisoner is re-
leased ahead of time for good behavior
he will have to report regularly to a
parole agent and the prison will have a
check on him to keep him straight for
the period of his maximum sentence.
Unnder this bill, when so-called
second offender" commits a new crime
the State Board of Parole can REIN
prison him if the prosecuting authori-
ties cannot convict him. The new law
is intended to make it more difficult
for the professional criminal to return
to crlme when released from prison.
