Colby) (Llinois Chamber of Commerce) "When the police each n profes- Iional crook who hna robbed a hun- dred homes he may be indicted on a dozen or fifteen counts. Then the state's attorney, to train sure convic- tion, mny try him on one charge of larceny. reducing the chute by agreement, if he will plead guilty. "The prisoner, a profemrional crook, is told something like thhv--'Go down, on t Inceny charge, and you'll get} one to seven years, probably, and then' when the first year.is up, parole- out!' And it has been parole-6ut. _ Predicts Change ' "Things are going to change down there. As it has been, one year to life has meant ortyisar. From now on, one year"to life is going to mean lifeless deduction from the maximum, instead of plus on the minimum, as herettdore." f Hinton G. Clabaugh, new chief of the parole board which is the sole source of paroles from the-prisons in Illinois told me the above. He meant it. He meant it 100 per cent. He went on: "I have learned more in sixteen} days, investigations of records inl Joliet than I learned in sixteen years in the service of the federal govern-1 ment. There are cases in the recordsl that make you burn with indigna- tion; records of political crooks! crooked lawyers and even crooked judges working to turn professional crooks loose upon the public. Pathetic Cases l "There are also cases that would make you cry; stories' that are heart- breaking. all in the records. Think of murderers, rapists, cut-throats and professional thieves being turned loose regardless while another man serves years because he stole a tin of sardines and a handful of crackers from a shack when he was hungry. Think of bank robbers and safe crack- ers being turned out in a few months to ply their trade while a poor negro serves several years for stealing chickens!" In the opening paragraph of this story it is revealed how professional crooks. with punishment due that might keep them in prison ten life- times, get out of jail in a few months under the "agreement racket." Mr. Clabaugh knows something more of that. He said: ' "A clever lawyer will see to it that nothing goes into the record but the simple matter of a single conviction on a single charge of larceny. When the year is up he comes before the parole board and wring: his hand and “If the parole board goes back of the records of the case and looks up the police record; if the parole board shows the lawyer that his client is a profesisonal crook who has served a half dozen sentences, and has com- mitted tive hundred crimes, the lawyer will cry: "Bat you ean't judge him on any- thing but this 'trial record. You can't. go outside of the trial. Here's the record of the trial. You can't take in- to account nnything else." Common Sense to Rule "Pm telling these lawyers that I can take into account anything else-- anything. And I am going to tell Ahern that if common sense and justice don't rule in the courtroom-justices for the public as well as the prisoner --that it is going to rule before the pafole board. "I'm going to tell them that when a crook is untenutb from one to ten yous, it means ten years, not one year, and that the' only way a pris- oner can get out under ten years is to show good reason why.
