The momentous event which has accomplished this feat was the shooting down of two innocent babes, Michael Vengallj 5 an j . Gloria Lopez, 3%. Underworld guns never before had entered the sacred precincts of babyhood to take their toll. Now that they have Public Opinion says they must pay for it.

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCHai MONDAY, AUGUST 31, 1931.

I moment. They know the risks and[ ' they enter their profession with' their eyes open to its dangers. The I average citizen, thinking in such a 1 vein, has come to feel that the! death of one officer, more or less, is! of slight interest to him. Thought ! lessly. yet unwittingly, he forgets I that the policeman, by laying down I his life, probably saved some civilpan from a_ similar fate. Two such I officers died of bandits’ guns just recently. They were Walter J. Webb and Edwin V. Churchill. But with publie antipathy well developed over the fatal shooting of policemen, it remained for the killing of Michael Vengalli, 5. while .playing in a New York street, and the mortal wounding of Gloria Lopez, 3Vj, while riding-with her parients across the line of fire of fleeing bandits and pursuing police, to light the flame of a relentless war on crime. Mere babies, taken out of this ; world, from which they had just i begun to reap childish joy, removled from the loving care of their I grief-stricken parents, all because ■lruthless gangland guns laid them ■ l° w that was the last straw to break the proverbial back—a back which has been well loaded down in recent years by the rapidly acl cumulating cares of what is called i civilization. As an Interesting and highly edu“l cational aside to the tragedy of two ; ; slain babies, the common slaying I of police and numerous wounding of : innocent bystanders is the "crime ' | bill" of New York for the year of i 1 1930. We know what crime has I peest in human life, the papers are ■ i full of it every day. But the tref mondous expenditure of funds to II protect citizens, prosecute and con- '[ vict criminals and imprisbn them .•[for varying ternu. is not generally ■ j known. t For instance: New York City's f [ crime-fighting bill for the la.=t year • was approximately $55,000,000. this t ! figure including cost of the police, the c6urts and the city prispons. It cost Gotham $43,000,000 or L 73 per cent of this staggering total,, to maintain Its police force To jthis must be added $420,000 spent r. for equipment to tight the under-

world. The cost of prosec’ltiue [ criminals was $2,000,000, the cost! of criminal courts $4,000,000 and the expense of New York's jails and prisons $4,000,000. The figures . are quoted in round numbers, but . they indicate aH too poignantly I I what a toll in dollars is takqp in i addition to lives. New York professes itself finally I aroused. Surely if anything could Ido it, the city's two baby-killings i I should have accomplished it. o COURT HOUSE The will of Elijah Mann was off ! ered for probate.

The same I bullet lodged in the hand of Hugo > Hyatt, the youth's father, when he' ; attempted to interfere as Rose i tried to arrest the young man on I a charge of drunkenness. The deputy sheriff said Hyatt attempted to resist arrest. Rose was ’ held in jail pending an inquest. Fleener described his encounter i I with the three miners at the soup kitchen, converted from a swimi ming pool. They came to the door armed with guns, he said, when he 1 stopped in front of the place. i He ordered them to drop the i weapons, according to his story, but | they began firing at him. The deputy whipped out his own automatic | and returned the shots. Fleener | I said search of the swimming pool revealed four shotguns, a pump gun. and an automatic.
