OUP, SHARE IN THE MURDERER'S GUILT—MOST CRIMINALS NOW ARE BOYS AND YOUNG MEN To Be Exact, Over Eighty Per Cent. Of Them Are Less Than Twenty-Five—Years Of Investigation Demonstrates Offenders Committed Crimes Because They Had Bad Associates. The Court House at Towson is every now and then the scene of jmurder trials, some committed ,'within our ¦ own jurisdiction', some outside and removed here, because the accused felt that he could not secure a fair and impartial trial in the community where the crime was committed and which under the law he is entitled to. Before the law making- the Maryland (Penitentiary the central place of execution for all condemned persons the little yard at the Towson Jail was the scene of numerous executions, where thousands of morbid curiosity seekers packed around the gallows to witness the penalty for hideous crimes—but this does not seem to have stopped the march of crime. Four young men were sentenced to death the other day in Brooklyn, and the grim tragedy in the still court-room was the grimmer in that it might have been prevented. In cold blood and after long deliberation, these young men had murdered and robbed two bank messengers in a Brooklyn elevated station. Thus six lives were taken away, and the guilt is fastened not alone on the four young criminals, three of them hardly more than boys but primarily upon the American public conscience. The method of their upbringing was wrong, as it is wrong today, we are told everywhere in the land—evidenced in the national scandals which have exposed a cesspool of corruption, in the courts of every 'community, in the reformatories m the jails, in the prisons. Just now the subject is forcibly engaging the attention of our religious leaders, jurists, editors and journalists, all faced suddenly, it seems, by the appalling tragedy presented by a feeble public conscience which has almost discarded every form of religious and moral instruction and surrendered the home as the mainstay of virtue. No nation can depend on its police system to preserve its moral fiber. The gallows and the electric chair are sorry substitutes for the Sunday school and the old-fashioned altar of maternal knees. The problem, is long past the debating stage and earnest thinkers of the three great branches of religion embraced in American life, both clerical and lay, are seeking some method whereby American youth may be saved from the wanton neglect which in so many cases ends in a lonely cell or in legal execution.

Phones 2626-1982-J. £**********************< bewildered"; his brother, Joe, '' slender and sardonic''; Jonn Farina, "with the lean, hard face and wrong eyes," and little Tony Pantano, "with the sad, intelligent smile," completed in the Brooklyn Supreme Court all but the last details of their lives that led to the electric chair. After sentencing them, Justice James C. Cropsey said that the occasion should not pass without comment. One of the outstanding facts in the case, he observed, is the age of the offenders. Three of them are but little more than twenty-one years old; the fourth is only a few years older. Yet two of them had previously served terms of imprisonment, and the other two are said to have had long association with criminals. An equally distressing fact, continued Justice Cropsey, is that the age of these offenders is not unusual. He said most of the criminals are boys and young men. To be exact, over eighty per cent, of them are less than twenty-five years of age. If the people of Brooklyn ask why so many youths become criminals, I can tell them.
