Last year, 183,140 or 39.7 per
cent of persons arrested already
had fingerprint cards on file in
the identification division of the
FBI, it was said, in addition, there
were 9,996 records bearing nota
tions indicating previous criminal
histories of persons concerned, al
though fingerprints had not pre
viously been filed in the bureau.
Records disclosed that 139,707
or 72.3 per cent of those having
previous criminal histories had
been convicted of one or more of
fenses. The records of those per
sons revealed 403,001 prior con
victions. or averages of almost
three per individual.
It was reported that 39 persons
charged with criminal homicide
during 1936 previously had been
convicted of homicide.
"In general the tabulation in
dicates a tendency for recidivists
to repeat the same type of crime,"
the report said.

CROWDWATCHES
YOUTH HANGED
21-Year Old Boy is Executed
For Murder of an Officer
During Robbery
REPRIEVED FOUR TIMES
lll 1 ■ . ' -
Kennett, Mo., April is. —A crowd
of 1,000 persons jammed into on
open-air sports avena and silent
ly watched 21-year-old Fred Ad
ams go to his death on the gal
lows today for the murder of a
night marshal during a robbery.
About 1,000 additional persons
pressed about the 18-foot-high
wooden fence enclosing the arena,
which normally is used for wrest
ling and boxing matches. Many
stood on the roofs of buildings
and others climbed telephone
poles for a view.
His nerves steeled although he
had spent a sleepless night, Ad
ams walked steadily and without
show of fear from the jail to the
scaffold. He mounted the steps
to the gallows unaided, shook
hands with Sheriff Dewey Miles
and his deputies and huskily said,
"Goodbye."
The condemned man took two
deep draws from a last cigarette,
expdling slowly, as his hands
were tied behind him and his
legs were strapped together. The
rope was adjusted about his neck.
A deputy placed a black hood
over his head.
The sheriff pulled the trap,
dropping Adair' nine feet. He
dangled at the end of the rope for
13 minutes before three physi
cians pronounced him dead. The
same rope was used to execute a
negro here in August, 1934.
Adams, born and reared on a
farm near Rector, Ark., had been
reprieved four times since his
conviction in July, 1934, for the
slaying of Night Marshal Clar
ence Green of Campbell, Mo., on
March 28, 1934.
The
FAMILY DOCTOR
(By John Joseph Gaines, M. D.)
OVEREATING AND HEART
DISEASE
living almost in the door of a
great city, I naturally notice their
vital statistics, and the prevailing
causes of death as reported in the
newspapers. Within the last sev
en days five sudden deaths have
occurred, the victims ranging
from fifty to sixty years of age.
"Heart disease" was the newspa
per report, doubtless based on the
official death certificate.
It's the same old story. The
business marj arises from bed in
the morning—probably retired at
midnight or later —he hastily
swallows a cup of coffee and a
half-cooked dish of somebody's
"health food." He Is too busy to
fool with a good breakfast; be
sides, the wife isn't up yet; it's
only half-past eight.
He rushes downtown to the of
fice, or the car-barn, garage, store
or what-have-you. Customers are
there waiting. He grinds till
twelve-thirty; then the lunch
counter, a miserable excuse for a
meal—it just isn't one. Back to
the grind for the second session.
Six o'clock—he hurries home—
ah, dinner! Beefsteak, fried pota
toes, coffee, many condiments
for stimulation; fritters, ome
lettes, gravies—a monster feed
and plenty of time; it reassures
the tired body and nerves. The
desserts challenge the capacity Of
old King Cole.
The tubby daddy gets short
winded in time, but he looks so
capable with his bay-window. He
stimulates more—struggles on
and on to the fatal fifty to sixty
decade, shorter of breath, maybe
gets elected to a seat in the city
council—drops dead! Just a heart
disease; too bad.
Is life of so little worth? I wish
I could impress upon my neigh
bors the danger of the- six o'clock
dinner!
Fat and Forty
Eiegler—Do you remember the
youngster who used to tickle you
under the chin at school?
Miss Snoach (fat and forty)—
Oh, so that's who you are!
SSiegler—Oh, no. That was my
father.
I anyone swear a cold chill rues
down my back.
Ray—l'm sorry, sir. But if
you'd been over to our house last
