The pulation of the prison on Decemr 1 was 2,775 a decline of 11 from '86 on November 1, the first time many months that a decrease in pulation has been shown. While the prison received 111 w prisoners in November, a total i'M were cuscnargea, oupermi?iint Pou pointed out. It may have en only accidental that this debase occurred and there may be i actual decrease in the more rious crimes that constitute lonies. But Superintendent Pou tinted out that there has been a ;ady decrease in the number of mmitments for certain major imes such as for forgery, larceny, ibezzlement and crimes of that ,ture. He attributes part of this the fact that here are fewer oprtunities to commit crimes of this rt than formerly. There has been a decided decrease the number of convicted bilkers nt to the State Prison in recent onths, while defalcations along her lines seem to have decreased, was pointed out. "I hope it really is a fact that contions have become so that crime esn't pay any more and that it is tually decreasing?that Is, the are serious felonies," Superintennt Pou said. "The misdemeanors less serious crimes, are increasl, as is witnessed by the increase the population of the State Highly Commission camps, where those nvicted of misdeamonors are sent r petty larceny and the lesser imes. But the slump in the State ison population may indicate that e depression has hit the bigger iminals and racketeers and that ime is not paying as well as it ce seemed to.
