MURDERDECLARED
RARE IN new YORK
Regarded as Unusual Crime
by Baumes Commission
After Survey.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
ALBANY, N. Y, July 16.-Murder
in New York State, in the view of
Senator John Knight. chairman OF the
subcommission on statistics on the
Baumes Crime Commission, "is d rela-
lively unusual crime"
This view. expressed by Knight In
report Of his commission. was taken
after two years Of investigation by the
body into the crime situation In the
State.
Murders Small Percentage.
"To be exact" said the report, muir
der constitutes about one half Of one
per cent of the felonies prosecuted in
New York State" THE great gist of
crimes that constitute SO per cent Of
the work of the criminal courts pass
almost without notice" said Knight.
while "a few sensational cases capture
interest and to a great degree determine
the popular conception Of justice"
THE general problem of making the
United States less lawless" was seen as
bound up in what is done IN these
prosaic prosecutions, rather than IN the
Leopold Hall-Mills and Snyder
Gray cases in the generation" the re-
port said.
Crime Records. %.
Figures covering the crime record
in New York City include 306 cases
of murder and manslaughter In 1928;
2B9 in 1926, and 273 in 1927.
The assault and robbery cases re-
ported were 1.483 for 1925; 1,173 for
1925, and 951 for 1927.
Relative to burglary cases, the sub
commissions figures show that while
there were 4.lO3 in 1925, the number
diminished in 1925 to 1913, and
climbed again to 1880 In 1927.
The Baumes laws provide life sent
ences for those convicted OF four
felonies.
