Are The Newspapers Responsible for the "Crime Wave?" I he I'ro.v-, Prohibition and the Rrlf tru I.av -i Hate Paused Many of the Hold-ups That Have Terrorizvd Business and Society. This i? the Startling Assertion Made by a Reformed Bank Burglar. r i ron National Pictorial Monthly for February). rh?* whole World is changing, but in r.o class of society has there been sucl a decided change as that which markt?he upward course of the criminal. Strangely enough, the reason foi he most striking advance in the IJn dorworld can he laid directly at Indoor of the reformers. They hav, reformed the woria?including the i rook>?but instead of abolishing th? u-im'nal class, they have forced the criminal to use his brains?and th? direct result of his sharpened intelligence is the present highly' successful epidemic of crime. Ten years ago the criminal wus a man of the Underworld?and he stayed there. If he was clever?a bank burglar?he. became an "aristocrat' -world.'Tfobso burglar* were "middle class," and so was the highwayman. Petty thieves and pickpockets were of a lower grade. And a woman of the old Underworld was of decidedly the lowest caste, a creature of the streets, whose mental abilities did not allow her to rise to the dig nity of a thief. She might rob a drunken man,?but that was all. The first Mg upheaval in the Underworld came with the war. An amaz ing number of criminals of all classes enlisted, and others took their places in war industries. Naturally fearless ? :i criminal must have a minus sense , ? t fear?they went quickly, gladly, ..nd came through bravely when put the test. The excitement of war? < ' -poeially of frcnt-linc war?appealed > ihem. That was the physical side; the menNil psychology was that for the firs' time in their criminal lives these men f< und themselves regarded as equals by r e; who would have despised them bad they known what they had been. The Underworld tasted of respectability ?and liked it. Thin the war stopped, and these ( o: immals, who had been good boI- < lie ? ?- . were shipped back to their old < V. ves. i "I don't know but I'd have quit the ? game," aid 1 on FT Charlie, a bank bur- 1 glnr with a reputation for several suc' o -ful job:; "but, gee! You've got < to A A ] ) f the fellows went back t ' i- oh<, and I went back to < When lx>ng Charlie was discharged i from the army he found that the Vn- i vworld was paying close attention 1 t.. something that had come during i ' .e war?prohibition. The Under- c or !d found that there was just .13 V ranch demand for liquor, which could v :;?> longer he bought from the saloon a on the eotner, hut had to be smuggled v into the c :?itry delivered by the back v/ay on a dark night. f The bootlegger became a personage. Long Charlie had been thinking of 1 robbing a bank after his discharge 1 from the army hut he gave up the r idea. d Today, he's really rich?outwardly r respectable?and married! Three 0 things unheard of in the Underworld c of yesterday. Ten years ago a crook with a wife I was a crook flirting with a jail. The a ignorant women of the old Under- a world could always he made to talk o t n<|or pressure, and give away the histories of the men who were foolish e < nough to "tie up" with them. h One day Long Charlie arrived in a n little Maine village near the Canudian n border, and hired a livery-stable man t named ChalTe to show him the surrounding country. On the drive, t Charlie talked about prohibition, t ChafTe told him that, there were only s t wo revenue agents guarding the ber- 'e der ir. that vicinity, and that they sel- t dom noticed what was going on along a the back roads. Gradually, the men began to discuss v ' loney?and o week later Chaff e help- > d ^J.ong Charlie and his gang "run 1 ver" about $20,000 worth of Scotch 1 hiskey. It was easy. 1 Long Charlie disponed of It in ten t .Then, grown suddenly wise, he ettled down in the little border vil-1 1 age "oud become the source of supply i < or a hundred bootleggers. Chaffe ' rent into businoas with him. So did ' ne of the revenue men, who resigned 1 rom his service because of the chance c make big money. To Long Charlie one of the oddest I hinga about-his new source of inccn^c.'1 vas its respectability. He found hiruielf invited out, entering comfortable ' icmes, and being treated as a respect ' eble member of society. The summer visitors mow than welcomed him be;aurc his contribution to their parties ?ns a bottle of "hooch." In less than a year he married Chaffe's daughter?and she knew how o whisper to rich city women that she might fix it up for their husbands to huy some "private stock." Now, when Long Charlie visits Boston, New York >r other cities his wife accompanies him. She is not bad looking, dresses cpry well, and has an "atmosphere" -tbout her. At the hotels she meets the nicer people.?and tells them how they can buy "a little something." She is the now woman of tbe criminal world. Long Charlie is just one of thousands, for the criminal world has quite iur>'uiwvn iui |/civy uvna'egging. When the criminal rob5* v. house or picks a pocket, he takes a chance -but bootlegging is an easy game with big financial returns. It is also comparatively safe?for few "respectable" men will betray the Ijootleggcrs whom they aid in break !nj? the law. And these bootleggers do something the cracksmen never did ?associate with the men they intend to rob. Many men have unsuspcoting'y given a new "friend," who told hem whore they could purchase some "old stock," information that enabled the "friend" to hold up their banks! or places of business later. This gives an idea of what prohibition has done for the criminal. Prohibition has also hod the unexpected result of bringing men and women, i honest until the passage of the 18th; unondment, into the criminal world. t Tho anti-gambling law is another [ drastic reform that has had a decided J effect on the crime epidemic. This law threw the gamblers out of their routine business?and turned them into hold-up men. Not long ago?I might say, even now?Wall Street was in a state of terror because of! enormous bond thefts.. Millions of dollars worth of bonds were taken from bank messengers?often-fought on the streets. Many of ihese hold-up men are ex-gamblers?men of real brains?whose intelligence has en abled them to go on making a, living oven if the anti-gatabling laws art .Tcrainst them. 'I pointed out in my article ^ast mohth, how the bank burglars,, the i-eal "aristocrats" of the Underworld pitted their brains against the brain? >f the safe builders, and conquered tho old key-lock, the front-lock, and j the automatic time-lock safes. Then, the safe builders baffled them I (temporarily, at least) by perfecting) the Gibraltar-like screw-door safe! i So far, this impenetrable "hunk o ! steel" has resisted all attempts of the' cracksmen to force it open in the few J hours of darkness in which they can | operate. A gong went into a bank down in! Tersey and tried to blow open the safe. They made a botch of the deal and barely got away with skins whole ! But twx> days later one of the gang returned to the hank a little after! neon, while business was slack and, most of the clerks away at luncheon.) He pushed his gun through the cage, f ore, . fVi /\ no f a itit'o Kim 1 VIIC vx. I.V. vv 11,1,1 J nil the cash, turned, walked out of the J bank, and easily made his pet-away! For several years a suburban! rreight yard of n big railroad had been systematically looted. Detectives could . ?et no clue. The losses were contin-|' ious and startling, though they i i amounted to only a few hundred dol- j ars at u time. j : A railway detective on his vacation j < >verheard a man selling automobile h ubes at a ridiculously low figure. Be- ; nuse he was a detective he asked ibotit the man, and found that the 'ellow worked on that railroad, and;' .ften had articles to sell cheap. In i ; !1 hours, the detective, trailing his [ i nan. rounded up the gang?all men j i mployed by the railroad. What they j ; iad done was to pilfer the drawers! chore freight-car seals were kept, and j ifter they had robbed a car, seal it ! f vith n fresh seal. When "petty" crooks have the men- , ality to "pull a stunt" such as this, it s not remarkable that the really bril- j innt -minded criminals can walk calmy into a post-office and hold up the ilacc to the tune of $1,000,000, as was J lone in Toledo, or stop an unarmed nail wagon and get away with $2,-[ 100,000, as was done in New York re- . ently. L No wonder Postmaster-General Willi lays has turned the postoflices into j ^ riniru i:t*ui|>n, uiiq linn nir iimiiuro| ^ re now guarding mail trucks with; ^ rd rs to shoot to kill! Oio of the greatest aids to tho mod- \( rn criminal is tho newspaper. Ho; as found that a careful study of the i ' lev. spapcrs will give him information j ' iS to shipments of money, or goods < hat can easily be turned into money, j 1 He gets a tip from o newspaper hat a motor truck is being used to j ' ransfer thousands of dollars worth of j ' ilks. The rest is easy. In the dark- ( I at stretch of the road he holda up the i ] ruck, kicks the driver off the seat, < .nd drives on < Over $5,000,000 worth of silk and 1 woolen materials were rtolen in this I vtty in the last 18 months. The rob- t iors only slowed up when the trucks | K'Ran to travel Inarmed convoys. The i iold-up man read about the arming of ] :he trucks?and quit the game. ] The press is to the burglar what ] Dunn and Bradstreet's are to the merchant. It tells him Nvhere and when i to operate. When he reads that ona < member of his clan overlooked a safe i kvith $20,000?why, he knows that the j ?afe is there; and the newspaper description generally gives him the lay" -so exactly that he can walk; , right in arid pull the trick. , ~ 7n an interview, an official of the American Bankers Association stated that 85 per cent of the arrests of brink hold-up men in the past two years were gangsters, young fellows between the ages of 18 and 30. These gangsters don't plan their jobs with I the same precision as the ex-cracksmon, and invariably leave a trail be hind them. I stand unqualified by my statement last month that the newspapers have brought these gangsters into the holdup game. In Detroit last winter, during the bank hold-up "Crime Wave" I talked with the leaders of three different gangs, who had been captured. Those three fellows, all under 30, told me they got the idea from reading newspaper accounts of successful hold-ups nil over the country. In the Maryland State Prison about, six months ago, I talked with a young fellow who is serving a life sentence for the hold-up of the Sandv Springs (Mnryland) Savings Bank during which the cashier was murdered. I got his history. He was a product of Chicago's South Side; a dope fiend; had nevor'done any work to speak of; and had been in turn, sneak thief, pimp, and pickpocket. He too, told mc he got the idea of hold ing up bonks from the newspapers. His first attempt was" successful; his second one failed; and he is in prison for the rest of his life. He is only 25 While visiting my friend Thomas P. O'Donnell, one of the greatest detectives in this country, a youth 18 years! old, wns photographed and finder-! printed. He was an unusually fine, eloan-cut looking boy. I inquired of Detective O'DonncU what the boy had; done, and was informed that he tried j to hold up a bank. I took a fancy to j the kid and talked with him. Hia- father and mother had been! dead for 15 years. He was a product' of the reform school, where he had. been sent at the tender age of ten. After being confined for six years, he J was turned out into the world, alone, friendless and penniless, to earn a| living. In reply to my question as to why he tried to hold up a bank, he said: "Well, I read how the fellows in Ijfew York and Chicago were getting away with it, so I though I would make one big haul and beat it for California." Therd' con 5e absolutely' no qu^s- j tion ab'out the bad effect that the publication of news about hold-ups creates. J What's the sense in publishing sucA news? Who benefits by such plication? Nobody but the criminal; and the sooner the public and tne press realize this and cease; trumpeting the doings of the bandits, the sooner will this form of criminality decrease. At least, there will be a marked depreciation in the recruiting of juvenile offenders, from which class comes, of course, the hardened man of crime. T J-J - iL ? t * "iii |n i ivviijr liovuuiiucci uv lot j stupidity of our detectives, bonkers j and society in general, in contending) with the "Crime Wave." Everybody seems to be groping helplessly in the dark, shaking their heads and wondering how this problem of the 'Crime Wave" can be solved. The stupid, asinine methods that society has employed to combat the "Crime Wave" only makes it seem a problem. Five years ago, when I committed my last bank burglnry and paid my final penalty to the law, there was no such thing as prohibition. The .rooks of every section stii consort-! L-d in their old hang-outs, which were j invariably saloons or rooming houses; attached to barrboms. There was still! in .Underworld having a definite lo-! ale or geography.. Then. there was' i fairly stable criminal population. ?nd an amount of criminality that varied little, year in and year out.1. Criminal methods were more or less j ixed, varying only according to the! ipplication of new inventions and ! liscoveiies in science, such as dyna- j nite and nitro-glycerinc, which revo-i utionized snfe and bank robbing. 1 Today, all this is changed. The old | Underworld is goner the hang-outs j iro closed, the criminals are scattered! ,nto all the secret and silent places! )f the cities, and there have sprung! jp methods and systems of criminally utterly unknown a few years ago. J In the old days every city in the | aountry had its criminal saloons. Here, these criminals gathered day ind night, leaning against the bar,! ill-inking, talking, gambling. They brought I heir women into the sitting rooms, and spent their hours of i liversion there. The whole social life i >f fhe Underworld moved and had its! being about these places. It wa:. j bere that the robbers planned thoiv | soups. No one but the police and the i srooks will ever know what an ad- j vantage these hang-outs were to the j an forcers of the law and the crook: satchers. The criminals always I irank too much in these places and talked too much. It was always pos-. lible for the police to place stool-' pigeons in such public resorts. The1 police always knew what crooks hung put at a given place, and they genarhlly kept cloee watch of their foremen ts. The fact is that the present day de tective methods grow up about the ?reganoc^ habits of criminals, and tvere founded upon watchfulness, supervision of han^-outs, and stoolpigeons. Here prohibition struck the police a mighty blow. The old hang-outs are gone. All up and down New York, I looked in vain for the "Bucket of Blood," Clancy's, McGovem's, -Oallagher'a? all those strange, dark memorable places where stealthy habitues of the, submerged world carried. on /th^ir almost fabulous lives and made merry within the ..shadow of the prison walls. Prohibition has scattered the criminals from their familiar and public haunts, where they had to live constantly under the eye and hand of the law, into the inaccessibility of every city, to thrive in security and privacy. It has rendered close police supervision next to impossible and it has created a condition which will require larger numbers of police than were ever employed before, especially In view of the time and energy now devoted by policemen to tno quest and apprenenston ot the bootleggers. The old Underworld has passed. Isn't it perfectly obvious that new police methods are necessary? Any intelligent person can see it. Here are the new methods I suggest: First, stop the press from being a reference book for criminals. The gangster element could be broken up by enforcing fche vagrancy laws. If the toughs knew they would be put behind the bars unless they found respectable work to do, few of them would remain idle. The trouble with the modern police departments is simply this: They concern themselves chiefly with the detection of crime, and do not give much thought or elVort to its prevention. When a cifminnl is released from prison,probation officers should make a weekly report about him; check him up, and-keep in touch with him until he finds-work. Better still, he should not be released from prison until a position has been obtained for him. Even then, the police should have a monthly report on him, and if ho doesn't keep straight, put hinf back in prison and keep him there longer. But the police should not bo allowed to hotjnd the ex-convict who is working, and keeping straight. Cities wrill have to be divided into zones; and th^wfficer in charge of a zono should hiiM a card system with the nam*, ageraex, address, nationality and empS-ment of every person in his zone* These' card m-ords, checked twice a month, would?nable the zone keepers to keep tfl on the so-called flouting popuiAm. If John Smith moved into aianpartment on West 66th street. aj| it^foas^pund that jort^r ~??vpt 1WdfP'wYiS ddl1"An night, it might! bo interesting to thi> police to find out just how John got his dollars. Again, when John rented his apnrtmeht, if he said he was employed at irimbels, and the investigation showed that he was not known there, a detective, put on his trail, might possibly1 discover that John was a crook. "? It's a new and" decidedly intelligent Underworld thtft the police have to combat. The slick crook cannot be picked out in a:crowd because of his gaudy clothing. He does not talk like- a tough mug, because he isn't tough. And ho doesn't hang around in the dives of the back alleys?because such dives have censed to exist. In these days you don't know who lives next door to you, you need not i be surprised to learn that the fellow j across the hall is a bootlegger?or, possibly a hold-up man. Combating the crime epidemic is merely a matter of well-organized, intelligently-directed effort, Coupled j with the realization that there has been evolution in the Underworld as well as ia the upper, ai.d that the criminal has kept pace wiih the march of advancing civilization. We have witnessed in the last four years an almost unprecedented evolution in our social and economic life. The great World War revolutionized war fore with its aeroplanes, poison gasos, liquid fire, and its thousand and one man-destroying inventions. There have been, changes in oiu* drama, literature, religion, science and art. It has been an age of resolution and evolution. The old standards of life are passing on, new social ills taking the place of the old. The doctor, the scientist and the statesman have, as Tennyson said, "Dipt into the future as far as human eye could see," and have seen the necessity of creating new criterions to meet the change. In every sphere of life men are beginning to realize that the idea of yesterday may be obsolete tomorrow. Criminals have sensed the change. The detectives have not. They have stood still amidst this avalanche of evolution, and as a result we have the "Crime Wave." The crew of a Jtfain,. arriving at one of the stations on the Uganda railway in Africn, found three lions had taken possession of the station. One lion was in the telegraph room, one In the refreshment room and the other stalked up and down the platform, "in true official style." When he shrieks from the engine whistle caused the lions to depart, the station ngent emerged from a building some distance away. mm ?
