Youthful Crime Wave

 

November 18, 1938, Menasha Record

We've had reports of youthful criminal gangs before in the blog, but this crew seems to have been well organized and yes, well-travelled.  One wonders if they eventually were scared straight or continued their criminal ways.  With World War II in the offing a few years hence, it's a good chance some of them may have been given the choice of jail or service.  And that might have been just the discipline needed to turn their lives around.
