ONLY DAILY NEWSPAPER IN ADAMS COUNTY

Decatur, Indiana, Wednesday, May 9, 1934.

has designated this week as Probation Week. It is fitting that It should immediately follow "Youth Week.” An effort will be made to inform and enlist the interest of the people of the Hoosier state in the values of probationary treatment for juvenile delinquents and adult first offenders. Our prisons are overcrowded, and the problem of delinquency and crime calls for a careful analysis of its causes and a sane modern approach to a solution. “Suiting the penalty to the crime" has not

lessened crime. Those states that have made use of good probation find that each year fewer prison commitments are necessary Mussachussetts, for instance, has not ad«!ed one prison in the last twenty years. The cost of administering probation in Indiana in 1933 was $8.90 each probationer, compared with $272 per year to keep prison walls about a person.

CONFESSION IS BRANDED FAKE BY OFFICIALS Purported Solution Os Robles Kidnaping Is Branded Hoax BOTH SUSPECTS ARE RELEASED Tucson, Ariz., May 8. —(U.R) Department of justice agents today branded as a cruel hoax a purported solution to the kidnaping of June Robles which took three officers into Mexico and aroused hope that the child could be returned to her family. Tlfe fate of the little heiress to the cattle fortune of Bernabe Robles, her aged wealthy grandfather, again became the object of apprehensive speculation. Whether she was dead or alive remained a question department of justice agents would not or could not answer as they returned here from the border town of Nogales. They did say, however, that what they thought yesterday was a solution to the kidnaping had collapsed. The so-called confession by an American kidnap suspect which inspired a widespread search into the northern Sonora wilds, they said, was a fake.. One remaining hope that June still would be found alive depended on the outcome of an official mission into Sonora by Chief Deputy Sheriff Oliver White. While and two federal agents drove into the rugged interior Sunday and upon returning seven hours later, the deputy stated with assurance: “I can say with a clear conscience, that the girl is still alive and will be returned soon.” A few hours later he again crossed the border into Mexico and today was still missing. White, upon completing his first mission did not reveal the source of his information but it was believed to iiave been elicited from the "confessed kidnaper.” The sus(CONTTNERD ON PAGE SIX) o Daniel Morand Is Fined At Bluffton Daniel Morand.
