WHAT CLEVELAND PROSECUTOR
DISCOVERED ABOUT CROOKS
(Special to Gateway by United Press)
Ninety per cent of criminals are
bachelors.
Only half of married men who be
come crooks have children.
Women who take up crime are
single or separated from their fami
lies.
Women crooks won’t tell the truth.
If a married man gets into trouble,
he generally commits a real crime,
not a misdemeanor.
The way to lessen crime is to advo
cate early marriages.
