Invitation to Crime
By Miriam Gutenberg

In his criminal career Russell
Leon Perry has led a charmed
life.
Since late 1947 he has been
accused of a holdup kidnapping,
a holdup shooting and a dozen
other armed ~rpbberies.
For these crimes the only
prison term he has received is
the 13-to-39-month sentence he
is now serving.
His story is told to illustrate
why Police Chief Robert v. Muir
ray is urging that criminals who
commit a series of crimes should
be prosecuted and punished for
each offense as a deterrent to
crime.
Perry was 81 and already had
criminal record in November,
1947. when Mr.. and Mrs. How
ard Jones were forced into their
car by two colored men who
robbed and beat them. The VIC
Tins escaped by jumping from
the moving car after a 12-block
nightmare ride.
Later the same night a Balti-
more man was shot in the leg
when he was slow in giving up
his wallet.
Tip Leads to Arrest.
A tip led detectives to Perry.
Police said Mr.. and Mrs. Jones
positively identified Perry as one
OF their assailantS. So did the
man from Baltimore. And so,
police said. did other victims.
Police also reported that Perry
admitted abducting and robbing
the Jones couple.
Perry and his confederates
were held for the grand jury.
Perry was indicted on a robbery
charge in a November 8, 1947,
holdup; on charges of armed
robbery and carrying a deadly
weapon November 8, on charges
OF assault and robbery Novem-
Der 10. on charges of assault with
intent to commit robbery and
carrying a deadly weapon on
November II and on charges of
robbery. carrying a deadly weap-
on and assault with a deadly
weapon on November II.
Claimed Unsound Mind.
Perry then used a device that
The Star recently showed has
become increasingly popular. He
claimed he was of unsound mind.
In February, 194S, DR.. Joseph
Gilbert of Gallinger Hospital re-
ported TO the court that Perry
was of unSound mind: Late in
March, Perry was sent to st.
Elizabeths Hospital. There he
remained for slightly over five
months. Then St. Elizabeths
sent him back to face the
charges pending against him.
All the charges were dismissed.
According to what Perry later
told DR.. Gilbert, he then went
to work for eight or nine months
on a construction job. That, ac-
cording to Perry, was followed
by term Of 100 days in the
workhouSe for possessing obscene
literature and discharging fire.
works.
In the spring Of 1850, a string
OF armed robberies were report
ed. One of the robberies involved
the holdup Of a drugstore and
post office substation. The loot
included both cash and mar
cotics.
Gang Members Involved.
Perry was one of the gang
picked up by police. He was ar
rested at Union Station and
police said he had a pistol in his
QUCAct aG Lie CIIue.
Police called in the victims Of |
the robbery series. Through |
identifications and confessions,
various members Of the gang |
were connected with 80 armed
robberies, police reported. Perry
was charged by police with one /
grand larceny and q dozen armed
robberies, including the post of
flce case.
He was indicted In exactly
two cases with three other de-
PENDANTS in each case. One |
Of the two cases was dismissed.

covered a great deal more than
she had ever dreamed. Apart
from a voluminous correspond

more difficult, seeing he kept
them, she had to travel with him
to the studio, sitting beside him
while he interviewed girls for the

about them. The company was

male stars for the mems parts, but
they had conceded to Mario the
right to choose an unknown for
