or irredeemably criminal
One thing seems certain :.
wherever else he wandered on
that fatal night, he did not wander
to his mother. She says she did
not see him and that she knew
of the charges against him only
when she heard the news from
others.
And so, each night, when the
chores of her job are done, she
sits in the backyard shanty which
is her home and ponders her
thoughts while her son in his cell
ponders his. Other people have
escaped the net of circumstances
which an Indifferent community
weaves with low pay inadequate
school opportunities, and a neigh
borhood hare of inspiring people
or institutions. But this boy and
his mother did not escape.
And the favor he did get from
society was one which led straight
to his ruin, parole from two
thirds of prison sentence to COM
nit what seems to be more ir-
reparable offense against society,
and bring upon his neighborhood,
his family. and himself more ire
parable injuries.

What thoughts filled his mind

his way from a scene where do
mestic happiness might have been

where fiendish brutalities cast the
shadow OF the electric chair across

question which specialists at the

during the time he remained in

people claim that he must have
been drunk. Others assert that he
was crazy. Still others say that he
was always a mean boy who ter
