POOR HOME INFLUENCE _ CAUSE OF CRIME WAVE Some Criminals Tell Lawyers and Judges Where to Find : the Remedy. Joliet, Ills, April 17.--Straight from the heart of the criminal world have come concrete suggestions, bas- ed on the knowledge and experience of men who know what it means to steal, to murder, to be captured and later to again face the world from the gates of a prison, for a better law enforcement, "Convicts know more about crime | and its causes and the best way to prevent it than all the lawyers in the world," was the unanimous testi- mony of seven criminals who told their stories to the special law com- mittee of the American Bar Associa- tion. This committee has just con- cluded its Investigation in Illinois be- hind the forbidding walls of tha local state penitentiary. Youthful.gvil oclates, improper home environment and more specifl- cally the lack of segregation in the Jails of the country while awaiting trial were indicted by these seven men, who also recited the influence that evil women have: in making criminals. The first to tell his story was a one-term criminal, serving ten years at hard labor for operating a confi- dence game More than six foot tall, a college graduate, well proportioned and clear-eyed, number 6988 indicat- ed by his general appearance why he had been a university prize-winner. Poor Homes the Cause, "Tell us what brings this wave of crime?" asked Judge Kavanaugh, chairman of the committee. "Poor. homes," snapped out the witness, his voice ringing with the modulation of the trained orator, "Did you not have a good home?" he was asked. "Not the kind that makes real men." "What was wrong with your home?" "I was unhappy, there was nothing there but drudgery and gen- eral unhappiness." "Is that your explanation for your present state?" "I am afraid that it is." The second witness had served nearly 40 years for murder. Before he had settled himself in his chair Jidge Kavanaugh asked: "What is the most potent factor in causing crime as you have found out in your years of association with men brought to this prison?" "A young men's friends and his home," was the reply uttered in a that indicated careful weighing of the words. "When a young fellow Joes not find pleasure and comfort at home ke hunts for it in some other place but he always finds the wrong kind. When he doesn't get along well with his fam- ily he often finds his funds low. To keep up his end he stoops to pick up a little ioosa change in the dark places. Then he joins the gang to get help in keeping out of jail." "But {s there a cure for all this?" osited Judge Kavanaugh.
