14% OF LIFERS

VIOLATE PAROLE

Of 88 Murderers Freed in|

10 Years, One Commits Second Slaying.

How many of the life-termers ‘paroled by the State Clemency Commission go bad again? To learn the answer to this fre-quently-asked question, Frank Hildenbrand, new Commission secretary, surveyed the parole records of the life-term convicts for the last decade, and he found that: During the 10-year period from Jan. 1, 1930, to Dec. 31, 1939, paroles were granted to 114 life-termers, aud 15 of these were returned to prison for parole violations—a little over 14 per cent.

Of the 88 murderers among the 114, one committed a second murder. Since the beginning of 1940, Mr. Hildenbrand said. 45 more lifers have been released, one of whom has been returned for parole violation. One other was paroled and immediately turned over to the authorities of another state for parole violation there.

30 Serve 20 Years

Two-thirds of the violations committed by parolees, he added, were technical violations, such as leaving for parts unknown or failing to report to parole officers. An interesting fact revealed by the survey was that 34 of the paroled lifers had served 20 years time or more before being released and only five were turnéd out of prison before serving at least five years cf their life sentence. “These figures are simply for observation,” Mr. Hildenbrand said. “They are the facts—the citizens of Indiana must draw their own conclusion about parole as it od, fects these prisoners.” { CANADA MAY CANCEL DEBT | MONTREAL, Dec. 30 (U.

Claude Sifferlen

IN ANTICIPATION of greater activity because of the war, the Indianapolis Council, Knights of Columbus, has created a new office, that of executive secretary, and announced today the appointment of Claude Sifferlen to that post. Mr. Sifferlen’s duties will consist of managing the clubhouse, and representing the council in all civic and religious enterprises. He takes over the duties pre- |! viously performed by Humbert Pagani, who was clubhouse business manager and public relations director. Mr. Pagani has retired from that office.
