Assistant District Attorney William--F. X. Geoghan told members of the West Flaibunh Democratic Club, whom he addressed on crime at the monthly meeting held in the clubhouse. Church avenue and East Third street, last evening. Joseph C.

O'Dca, president of the club, presided. "Criticism that our office ha.i accepted pleas for Jesser degrees if offenses than the indictments called for does not show weakness on the part of the prosecutors' office," he declared. "In a number of instances there was no chance whatsoever to convi on the degree of crime banded up in the indictment by the Grand Jury. This was recogniied by the District Attorneys' office and pleas of guilty to lesser degrees allowed. If this had not been done the criminals might have escaped entirely." The assistant prosecutor told of a recent visit he made to Sing Sing where there were but four men in the death chamber awaiting electrocution.

Peculiarly enough all four came from Brooklyn, he said. The serious crimes in this borough however, do not constitute a wave, he added, the percentage to the big population being relatively very small. He urged the fathers and mothers present to be "big brothers and sisters" to their youngsters and to bold parental influence over their offspring to avoid a possibility of a start on a life of GOOD FRIDAY 3-HOUR RITES TORCHES Special Services Held To day and Tonight Bishop Sb'res Here Bishop Ernest M.
