OSSINING, N. Y. July %
Twenty-six men, the youngest 10
and the oldest A, sit in condemned
cells at Sing Sings death house
awaiting, in the formal words of
the prison records discharged by
execution"
The population of Americas most
noted death house is at the high
mark for all times, save for one
period several years ago when de-
lays in executions because of a
changing administration resulted
In an accumulation of condemned
prisoners which actually taxed the
facilities Of the isolated stone struc-
ture.
OF the tWenty-six who sit and
wait for death, two are 10, four are
10, three are 20, eight are less than
25. A majority are first offenders
and their first conviction was for
murder done TO make some girl
happy"
Blame it on Girls
In the immaturity of these youths,
the similarity of the crimes they
committed, can be read the story
of the times. To such men as Don
aid E. Parsons, chief clerk Of Sing
Sing, who not only reads from the
records but who reads from the life
stories Of the men themselves-and
the condolences they give him
these figures speak volumes.
Back Of nearly every case" says
Parsons speaking, lis a girl. A girl
who wants a party life, who de-
mands entertainment, clothes, jew
elry and night life. A young mans
salary, if he happens to be work.
ing, will not stand the strain. Then
come holdups, amateurish holdups
in which some one is killed. The
records speak for themselves"
Perhaps Francis (Two-Gun)
Crowley, maintaining his bravado
as he tramps the exercise pen in
the lighthouse, is typical Of this
new criminal youth. He dare not
weaken, because he is poseur. He
established for himself a character,
q role" and he will act it out, Par
sons believes, to the end.
Average Age Dropping
"The average age Of our prison
population is dropping" Warden
Lewis E. Lawes says, and with it
the character of crime is changing
rapidly. Robbery by violence has
increased to such an extent that
out of the entire $500 inmates-the
figure is approximately-41 per cent
of them are in for robbery.
Convictions for all crimes are in
creasing, too. Last year we received
1883 new prisoners In the last
twelve months we have taken in
1898 an increase of nearly 33 per
cent.
There is no doubt that unem-
ployment is contributing a vast
number Of weddings to crime. You
can't swing night club parties and
buy liquor for your girl on a small
salary, and you can't buy her new
dresses If you aren't working"
The next article of this series
will deal with the influence of
gangs upon tOday's prison popu-
latiOn.
