VIOLENCE GRIMES
HIT NEW LOW EBB
Banton's Drive Results in
Sending 337 to Prison for
1929 Years.

Since April II. just six weeks ago.
when the District Attorney of New York
exerted pressure to speed up trials for
crimes of violence, to clear court calen-
dars and put fear into the hearts Of
thugs 337 defendants have been sent to
jail and an aggregate of 1929 years in
maximum sentences imposed. In his
opinion this showing marks new low
ebb in crimes Of violence.
During this period there were 669
convictions and pleas of guilty. A COM
parison with the figures of the corre-
spending period of last year shows that
but 345 cases were disposed Of, with ap-
proximately only $50 years of imprison-
ment.
An even greater contrast appears in
the fact that during the ire year 1921
aggregate sentences tota 2,939 years.
little more than 1000 years above the
sentences given In six weeks of this
year.
that during District Attorney Banton's
drive against crime preference was
given to acts of violence on the trial
lists and judges favored heavy penal
ties for the guilty.
Deterrent Eject Observed.
\ The results of the increased speed in
the functioning of the courts. In the
opinion of Mr.. Banton. is the clearing
of the badly clogged calendars and the
apparent deterrent effect upon prospec-
tive criminals.
One phase of the improvement which
particularly pleases Mr.. Banton is the
decrease in pending bail cases. The
ratio between prison and bail cases vir-
tually has been reversed.
Previously the number of bail cases
has almost always exceeded the num-
ber of prison cases awaiting trial. On
the calendar at the present time, of the
forty-six cases of robbery, burglary and
pistol carrying awaiting trial only sew
enteen are bail cases.
ut means" said Mr.. Banton yester-
day. that the accused man who can
afford to give bail is not going to be
helped much by doing so. My policy
from now on is to give a quicker trial
10 the man at liberty under bail than TO
the man in jail.
Men In Prison Harmless.
$50 long as man is in prison we
know he can't do any harm" he added
while we don't know how many more
stickups the man at large under bail
may commit"
Mr.. Banton emphasized that he hoped
to continue with his policy of speedy
trials at all times. adding It's the
only way to keep crime under control.
A thug will take chance when he be-
lieves. even II caught. he won't go to
trial for couple of years He won't
take 1t II he knows he will face court
within as many weeks"
The next class Of crime which Mr.
Banton intends to concentrate upon is
the wall Street crook" As soon as
he has completed presenting to the
Grand Jury for indictment all those
cases which grew out of the recent ex-
pose into the financial district he pro-
poses to clear his courts for the trials
