Tango as Cause of Crime In Brooklyn Court
County Judge Pawcett suspended the sentences of two youths who pleaded guilty to attempted grand larceny. He blamed "white lights and tango nights" as incentives to crime and warned that dancing and carousing without work or discipline lead to theft. John Colver, 20, of 487 Hancock Street, and Carlton Chapman, 16, of 362 Jefferson Avenue, admitted stealing money and jewelry from Adelaide Winston, keeper of a furnished room house where they stayed. Each promised to return home, Colver to work and Chapman to resume schooling. Chapman wore tan shoes and shirts at arraignment.
