It’s easy to get one or tnem arfils and the coppers couldn’t get you in a month of Sundays.” Police Spurred Several days ago, Police Captain Condon called a special meeting of detectives. “Men,” he said, "there’s a tough bunch of safeblowers working the district. Seventeen jobs in the last three months. Get out of here and get busy.” Later Sergeants Gilholly and Fred Mundt passed an alley as four boys emerged. “What are you doing out so early?” Out to Dance “AW, we have been to a dance.” The police were not satisfied and searched the boys. They found a complete set of burglar tools. So the boys—Gerlak and Paul, and Lucal Engel, 15, and John ConCanstantas —were taken to police headquarters. They confessed they were the “tough bandits.” All come from families of moderate means.
