CROOKS TERRIFIED
BY NEW y0RKLAW
Baumes Measure Closes
LoophoIes to Old Offenders
and Lengthens Terms.

By Consolidated Press.
NEW YORK, September 1S.-Out
over the far reaches of the country
the Information has been spread that
New York City has found whip in
the law that has struck terror in the
underworld. Since July the Nation
has been hearing of the effectiveness
Of the new Baumes law in putting the
hahitual criminal behind the bars.
Now the queries are beginning to
come in from interested cities as to
Just how 1t is being done.
District Attorney Banton says he
has had a large number Of requests
for information about the Baumes
law, Additional interest was aroused
this week when two burglars, branded
as habitual criminals, were sentenced
to life imprisonment as the first old
offenders to receive this penalty In
New York County under the Baumes
law. On the same charges before
t..actment Of the Baumes law. they
would have received sentences of from
two and one-half to five years. The
Raures law provides life imprison-
ment for criminals who have served
time four or more times.
Represents Two Years Work.
Two years of hard work in hearings
and Investigations into crime condl'
tions hv the Baumes crime commits
sion are represented in the new law
Startling facts and figures regarding
the comn1utat ton of sentences and the
indeterminate sentence, as we'll as the
bailing Of criminals, brought about
the statute now in effect.
Dodge and duck as they will. Grim
irsls can find no ioophOles In the
Rsumes law. Thousands OF crooks
who have had light sentences before
will fnd these old convictions stand
ing against them if they are convicted
again. As second or third Offenders
thev must be sent to prison for 10
wears or more. fourth conviction
for a felony means life imprisonment
Moreover, the law has very watch
ful eyes In times past If a crook
could conceal the fact that he was
second offender and was sentenced as
a first offender, he got away with It,
The Baumes law provides that II IT IS
learned later that he has been con-
victed before, he must be resentenceo.
Must Serve Minimum Sentence.
The new law forces the prisoner to
serve his minimum sentence. For
rnerlv a prisoner sentenced to from
TO 10 wears could be released on good
behavior in three and three-Quarters
wears or even less. Now ne must
serve at least five years. Time AL
lowed for good behavior runs only
against the maximum sentence.
The new hail laws were drawn TO
check the old. glaring evil Of fresh
crimes committed by habitual Grim
inals out on bail. Fingerprint identi-
fication IL required prior TO admission
to bail Of every person charged with
q felony or certain major misdemea-
nors. If there is reason 10 believe the
defendant is a second offender. he can
he admitted to bail only by justice
of the Supreme Court or by judge
of General Sessions.
There Is no mystery about the un-
Aerworld's dislike Of New York's new
Deumes law.
