"I cannot sleep unless I have stolen something," declared the defendant, Alexander Radulovitch, replying to a charge that he had stolen five hens. He told the Magistrate that he had lost count of the number of years he had been in prison, but "hat he believed that he had served sentences in every penitentiary in Yugoslavia.
