Death of Famous Sleuth Recalls Colorful Career * * * * * * William J. Burns, Once Head of Secret Service, Had Record of Crime Solutions Unrivaled Even in Fiction. ' *l!rf w? -1 Jiw- fit' zilwK . ... s ■ Lieut I ‘;V ■’ J- ' ft w 7 ■A qTamks Leo Frank, Born in Baltimore, Md., in 1861, the ion of an Irish tailor, William J. Burn,, who recently died at hi, home in Sarasota, Fla., had a career that not even the fictional Sherlock Holme, could rival for color and ,ucce„. Among hi, moit brilliant cases was that of the apprehension and conviction of the nc-lorious McNamara gang, headed by Jim McNamara, who were proved to have been responsible for the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Time, office in 1910. He had many thrilling exploits while a member of the United States Bureau of Investigation, commonly called the Secret Service, and was credited with smashing many counterfeiting gang,. One of his most notable cases wa, when he was partially responsible for the arrest of Police Lieutenant Charles Becker, of New York, and the hired killers of Herman Rosenthal. It was Burns who openly accused Becker of instigating the murder. He also won nation-wide prominence by his defense of Leo M Frank, convicted of the murder of a young girl in Atlanta, Ga. Frank was hanged by lyncher, and Burn, narrowly escaped a similar fate at the hands of the mob. Attorney General Harry Dougherty appointed Burn, director of the Bureau of Investigation in 1921 and he wa, later implicated with Dougherty in the Fall Sinclair oil scandal. During the trial of the case in 1927 the detective was cited for contempt of court, the charge being the result of alleged jury shadowing Tne agency -ehieh bears Bu. iu name i, knov n all over the world and Bums’ v.ews on cr.me are universally quoted.

the death here of Williaifi J. Burns, interna’ionally-known detective and , ; founder of the organization that I bears his name, the i-tirtain has irung down on one of the most collorlul careers in recent American I history. Burns ti a defeclivn was a figure tin the anna s of crime equal, if not Ist’pr-rior, in renown to his romantic < ompeers of fiction, Sherlock Hol ' nn-s and the more mod'rn Philo : Vance. 1 Horn in Fa! imore, Md., in 1861, the son of an Irish merchant tailor. I young Burns was taken by his parent* at an early ag:t to Columbus. I Ohio, where lie was educated in public school and business college before joining his father hi business. fie showed an early aptitude for solving puxiles and his father’s apt pointnieiit as police enmmi ■ iom r ;“f ( obimbus gave liini plenty ofi opportunity Io gratify his taste on a large scale, as he was allowed to assist the police department In a I prijvate capacity. tils fir.sl marked suecesr. in critn Pl ii-flqiiti came with Hi- solution of the tally-shee! forgeries in Ohio Iby which a group of politic! d' iganglers were trying to place a sen-' lattJY in the state legislature. The lliest lraine-1 investigators in the state having (ailed on that job. Burns' success Inough. him an itn me'liate me-sure of fame and hie. serviced were soon in demand. His success in securing the con vid ion of Jim French, the firebug who had terrorized tjt. Louis. Motor many months, brought Burns an offer of a position in the Uniietj ' States Bureau of Investigation. Icomtnonly called the Sberet Service. Burns accepted the offer and rose |to be head of the bureau from 1921

DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20. 1932.

Many of Burn*’ exploits re -d like chapter- taken from melo-dramatic fiction. His apprehension ot the notorious McNamara gang, mem hers of Hie Association of Structural Iron and Bridge Workers, who were proved to have been responsi ble for Hie explosion' at the lais Angeles Times building in 1910, caused Burns io be hailed as the •!> t< riive tin counA-y had ever produced. In 1914. Burns was in the public eye more than at any other tirnd in his career. He was partially re-, sponsible for the arrest and convictioii’of Police Lieuicumt Clvarh s Becker of New York, and the hired killers of Herman Rcseuthal. While other investigators nervously made veiled hints and inuundos, Burns openly accused Becker of the ’aying. The police lieu enant went to the chair. the same year Burns defended Lio M. Frank, conviclod of the rtntrder of a young girl in an At I mtn. Ga .■ pencil factory. Frank.. ! was hanged by lynchers anti Bunr narrowly escaped a similar fate at the hands of Hie mob. For his 1 clia.’iipionship of Frank. Burns wa.s cited for. contempt of court and dropped from lite rolls of the Inter nativmt Police Chiefs Association. Later, however. Hits body announc •*1 that the Burns censure had been a mistake. i Mr. Burns was frequently afoul ]of the liw himself In many of his activities. In the McNamara c:isf ; he whs marked as an enemy of la . ber;<and in 1917 be was fjttud guilty ; of a misdemeanor tor entering a | law office in New York aud copy . itig certain documents which he turned ever to a firm of financier: ■ It was Attorney General Harry . Dougherty who appointed Burns at

director of the United States Bureau of Investigation, and Dough erty was later implicated with him in the Fall-Sinclair oil M-andal. During that celebrated trial in 1927. Burns was convicted of com plicity in contempt of court, the charge being the result of some alleged jury-shadowing. Burns* views on the prevention and suppression of crime are widei ly accepted, not only in the United l States, but in ma n y European | countries. WOMAN’S DEATH BEIfIG PROBED (CONTWDtD FROM PACE ONEI killed. McCord sad. Police said they learned that the ; , girl and her companions had attend- ‘ ed a speakeasy party immediately j i before retiring to the apartment, j Walter Brent, who occupies a i I lower suite, said they started quarreling.
