1 DANGEROUS HOBBY To Study the Ways of Rogues May Make a Roque of You. CRIMINALS BY SUGGESTION. i An Abnormal Interest In the Methods of Lawbreakers Is Liable to Arouse Even In a Normally Honest Man a Spirit of Emulation. “It is quite possible for a normally honest man to become a criminal by ; suggestion,” was the curious statement made by a well known New York I detective who was in Washington recently ot» business. “I am referring now to men who permit themselves to develop an abnormal interest in the ways of professional criminals. “I wouldn’t call it a safe thing for any man to attempt to figure out in his mind what he would have done to escape arrest had he been in the boots . of some captured criminal whom he had read about But that’s a thing that thousands of men who think they’re honest are doing all the time. When there’s a big man hunt on, they follow it with acute interest put themselves in the place of the hunted man and dope out schemes of escape for him. A certain percentage of such calculators are bound to experience the hankering sooner or later to put their schemes for evading the officers of the law into practical operation, if only for the foolish purpose of finding out how their plans will work. “Working in New York now on a salary of a few dollars a week is a broken middle aged man who used to be the treasurer of a bonding and indemnity company at a salary of $lO,000 a year. This man developed a queer bug for mentally tracing the movements of fugitives from justice, j especially embezzlers. “I was acquainted with this man. I and he endeavored to pump me for all I knew about such cases. He liked to talk about the fleeing ones. He laid out routes for them in his mind. He knew the extradition laws by heart and had at his fingers’ ends every country In the world to which a pursued , man could run without fear of extradition. Once I gave this man a talking to about this hobby of his. “ ‘You’d lietter can that stuff.’ I told i him. ‘or it’ll begin to fester in the back of your hend and get you going. I’ve , known such things to happen, and no man is more than one-eighth as strong as he thinks he is.” “Well, be only laughed and told me that he was interested in the subject , just as other fellows were Interested in old fiddles or rare postage stamps. ] “ ‘Anyhow.’ he laughingly added, ‘if I did jump and you were sent after me you’d never be subjected to the embarrassment of taking me. because you’d never get me. If I couldn’t beat all of these pinheaded fugitives in mak- ( ing a safe and sure getaway, so that none of you would ever nail me. I’d want to have my head bagged.’ "Not more than six months after that he made his jump, and I got him as easy as hotfooting a banana peddler. I went straight to the little villa he had taken outside Genoa, Italy. When I nailed him. be was the most stupefied man you ever saw. for he’d made his hop at the beginning of his month's vacation and had laid all of his plans with what he thought was masterly adroitness, according to his chart, with thirty days' margin of time to accomplish the scheme in. In consideration of his returning most of the swag he got only eight years.

•’That man put himself in the way of becoming a criminal by suggestion. His studies of the movements of fleeing absconders developed an irresponsibility in him and an ache to put to the test the getaway plans that he spent so much of his time in doping out while yet he was an honest man. “There is no calculating how many shoplifters, especially young women, are led to try that sort of thing through hearing and reading about professional lifters. Not long ago in a New York department store a girl was nailed while trying to lift a pair of inexpensive gloves. The girl bad an account at that store for any amount that she chose to spend up to thousands. She wasn’t arrested, of course, but was led to the rear office and chided by the head of the firm in a gentle way. “ Terhaps you should put yourself in the hands of a specialist for treatment.’ he said to the girl, who wept softly. ’With you. beyond a doubt, it is kleptomania. It must be.’ “ ’No. it isn’t.’ replied the girl, with the utmost candor. ’lt’s not klepto- ! mania at all. I don’t believe in such ' silliness. I just wanted to see if I 1 could do it without being caught; that’s all. A lot of girls were talking about i shoplifters—they seemed so fascinat- • ing—and the girls dared me to try. I i meant to exhibit the gloves to them as a trophy and then send them back to you by mail anonymously. You won't ever breathe a word of it. will you? And the head of the firm, knowing pretty well which side his bread was buttered on. of course only tells i the story without using the girl’s I name, but the incident illustrates an oc- ! curreuce which is common. Plenty of ‘ women lift things from counters just ' to see if they can do it without being caught and when they succeed in getting away with it once they try it again and again and allow the habit to become fixed upon them until the In--1 evitable day of discovery arrives. “The people who become criminals by suggestion are nearly always the verf- , est plugs st any line of work they take I up, for first rate criminals are born. . not made by suggestion or in any other way.”—Washington Star. | ■!*■> ■ II — ,
