Private Detective “Graft”

New York.-—Americans.in spite of their protestations of a love for ped Bonal liberty and fair play, lire the ' njost spying and spied-upon people on earth. This Is the assertion of Howard McLellan, criminologist and writer, one-time manager for one of the larger private detective agencies, made in an article written for the North American Review. Mr. M< I.ellun estimates tint there are between '-'U.OUO and 3OJMX> private detectives constantly employed throughout the United States, and that the public pays a minimum of SI£MMMI a day, or 750.UU0 a year, to ‘ get the goods” 'on somebody; Aside from two major private deteqlive organizations with branch offices

Find Pioneer’s Hidden Wealth

Rockefeller, who later became a pioneer settler here, hid his cash ahd jewels In < fannies of his old house was revealed when Ills daughter, Mrs. Thomas Hicks of I.os Angeles, completed lealing the old ■tructure td“ p.e< es. The pioneer was J. C. MacS padden. whose father diet'; in Indiana* after making an exactly similar disposition of bls SItX’.tXX) fortune, concealing th»> money in hidden corners of the old’ MavSpadden homestead. . MacSpadden died here in V.Cu, but it was not until Mrs: Hicks seiarcti that the mystery of Ins reputed wealth was solved. Mrs. Hicks and her husband found atocks and bonds, money in currency, silver and gold and a magnificent diamond ring, which MacSpadden i bad hidden t»eneath baseboards, in crevices of the walls, under floors and other odd places.

In 30 cities, there are 5,000 smaller agencies with personnels of from one to ten operatives each, he finds Os this arriiy of privately engaged spies at least 2,000 are women, many of them girls with college backgrounds and good social connections who go into the work for the thrill of it. Divorce is the background of the private detective business—husbands hiring men to trail their wives, hiring women to win the confidence of their suspected husbands—because it is one phase *bf detection which is not, legally, undertaken by the police. The larger agencies usually advertise that they do not undertake to secure divorce evidence, hut this Is only technical)v true, says the North Amer-

Now I am quite certain that she was thinking only of her yellow curls and her dainty ,lace-trimmed dress, and she probably never saw me at all or gave me a moment’s von . sideration. . 1 I watched Gordon during his marriage ceremony a few weeks ago. His voice was shaky and ids hands were trembling; ahd he was as generally nervous, as,a young kitten. He supposed quite erroneously that he was the center of attention of the crowd gathered in the church, and it made him self-conscious. Now the facts were that no one there knew whether Gordon wore a white rose or a funk carnation, in his buttonhole. The only he was there was because the ceremony could not well go on without Ids presence. If Gordon hud only realized, thut everyone was looking |at .tlie girl, fie would have been mucb easier. Whet her we .are making a speech or presiding nt a public gathering or gettjfeg i w h more at ease if we would, qn.ly t.-a ze that we are really of very little irtiportanee and that nobody is thinking about us So'much as he is about himself.

They will not permit their operatives to take the stand as witnesses or otherwise identify themselves with a case after it has reached the legal stage, but they will "shadow anybody for anybody” and report on the movements of the subjects, notifying their client when the opportune time lias come so that he. or she. may provide witnesses to support the case in court. Ethics and fair play are generally disregarded and the law itself is broken into rilany pieces by many of the agencies, especially in divorce cases, says .McLellan, The divorce ease haul of the private detective is even richer than the public suspects, he points out, for many couples who are reported “amicably divorced” in Paris or Mexico have really spent weeks or.months “getting the goods,” one on the. other, with which to enforce the "amicable agreement.”
