Why’ Mark my words. It was not local talent that i*erpetrated that crime The I t.oys“ were called In for that. These ! •beys" w ere recruited. from the ranks ‘ of tti,e hungry bootleggera of Chicago Their appearance In these new <;rlme centers proves that They are com merelal criminate. They will pull a Job at a flat rate. i Kanras fdy ta a caae in point. I ‘Tretty Boy - Floyd, who terrortteil j the West as a Jesse Janie* in modern | dress, started as a petty booze ped dler In Kansas'City. He attracted the attention of local police and left town .Shortly after he took to the smoking pistol arid went violent byway of n-juer.ishii.g a vanished bootleg exchequer. He kidnaped sheriffs and used them as hostages to enforce his maddened will upon the people. p.ijlee in many cities, alarmed by the spread of violent crime, are eqqip p ng to meet this condition. Armored cars, trained machine gunners and radio equipment are being adopted. These win win in the long run, not because they are efficacious In the extreme blit because violent crime al ways defeats itself. The willingness to protect - violent crime te terking? The same c"p who winked at a bottle of liquor will stand hte ground over a deck of heroin or a callous marder for profit. ' . -People know nothing of kidnaptags that never get Into the papers. Thi* writer knows of three cases of success ful snatches" in New York City. In each case the victim of the kidnaping was a criminal himself. He was caught by others of hte kind, ransomed for whatever he bad. and turned loose to pile up another amount for future consideration. Each time these criminals, welt aware of .thair exact (x'sitions as hostages, paid through the nose. One said to me: IHd I pay! iJiy your test dime 1 paid! I had thirty-ffve grand In bank when they took me. They got It all. Only a sucker would fight them." Another case reported to me and verified from sources I credit involves a manufacturer of forbidden fruits who paid one hundred thousand dollars to kidnapers. These men actually marched him Into hte bank and stood by. pistols concealed In their pockets, while the victim got the money and banded it over in the presence of the vice president e£ tbs bank. The bank Oficial. of course, xs-

malned "unaware of the whole procedure in Its true slgnUlcaoce. • “Why not fight back?’ 1 asked this victim. “Yon banded over the money but you know who got tu Why not I tightr I “I’ve a wife and children," he an- " swered simply. "What’z money, with their lives at stakeF Jack “Legs” Diamond was a bootlegger. He was an Interesting one In I that—to the best of my knowledge—ihe was the first of the tribe to lay the urban problem on the suburban doorstep. His trip Into the Catskill mountains wrought not only his own death but a series of crimes that left that pastoral section in the throes of | terror. I Men were tortured on the highways; others were kidnaped. The country was roused to fever pitch. That sec tion preferred applejack to the so < ailed liquors of their urban broth era. Jack tried to control the apple jack traffic. Deprived of bootleg mon ey, he had to replace It some way. War broke out. Jack died broke. Only recently his widow was found mur dered in her bed. "Dutch” Schultx. beer baron of New York's Bronx, found things slip -ping In his business. The old profits . of bootlegging vanished. He was often mentioned In connection with crimes of violence' that now he is a fugitive, a cringing craven in fear for his life and a man for whom the ' world, upper and under, has little but scorn. But he was a millionaire when the booze bouncing was good. There is another traffic In the tin derworld which has spread immeasurably during prohibition. It Is the vilest, the most despicable, the most insidious of all Illegal rackets It Is In narcotics. Fundamentally, it differs from booze in two majqr features. First, the ar erage man abhors it and will, as a de cent citizen, do what be can to stop 'the traffic. So narcotic laws are en forced with comparative ease Sec ond, a modest fortune in the poison may be transported tn a fountain pen. “< 'adeta,” as narcotic peddlers are railed, travel In fine trains, use light luggage, and attract no attention. That is a lot easier than trans|>orting l>ot tied goods by the case or beer by the keg. But the narcotic traffic Is great. It is growing greater. The more Insidious of the bootleggers of old are turning to this to supply revenue. This is the most violent crime I know. If there Is to be a death penalty it should be for the sale of narcotics Thera cadets operate under an. or zanized ring. More and more they become killers. Long terms are likely to be the order for conviction of this , | crime. Long terms do not deter the criminal; they make him more des '! perate. This is not an argument against long term sentences. It merely explains where the violence comes from in the narcotic traffic. ® I New York City today is going through a series of murders at once I ghastly and grotesque. In the metro politan area some ten killings have occurred In a month. Four of the men killed were to have been wit nesses In the trial of a gaug leader charged with tafx evasion. Each of them has since been Identified with the narcotic traffic. For several years the question most j Often asked me has been : "What dlf fvrence does it make If gangsters murder, so long as they murder only each other?" Theye you have the best answer to that question I know. These ‘ictims. all purported criminals of the worst order and each presumed to be a narcotic addict and peddler, const! > lute the only evidence the government ; can use In court to destroy the vast criminal rings that racketize the na tlon. The underworld will tell y<au chat all these men were murdered for wbat they knew . for what they might testify In court that would lend Itself’ to corroboration. ; In opening this article 1 pointed out that the federal charge was the wire J over which Scarface tripped. It was the only one he was unable to beat. Hook county. Illinois, was hte para dlse. The state was helpless against him. The United States put him into prison. I want to make a point of that again as a predicate for statements to follow. Knowing literally hundreds I of criminals. I say earnestly and truthfully that every intelllg* Q t one shuns “federal raps" as he would the plague. In the old days they avoided counterfeiting because it was a federal offense They robbed no post offices and they avoided national banks in their robberies. The one fear of confidence men has always been the malls. “Don’t write anything crooked and - v mail it," I beard the most infamous of them say not long ago. “Getting into the malls Is getting into a federal rap. That te the hardest of all to beat, t ncle Sam never forgets. Hte arm goes from coast to coast. He doesn't extradite. He just locks yqu up wherever he finds you." Unde Sam. and Uncle Sam alone, te the hope for tew enforcement tn this trying era of transition from prohibition to repeal. (< 1»J1. by Marts Aauriraa Noararar Alltrae*. Inc—WNV Owk*.) — — - .

His father was Jacob Schrom who ran an old wagon shop which still stands on the hill just north of the main corner. When Mr. Schrom lived here, Sharon Hall ran a drug store in a small frame building where Bachman’s store is now. Hall lived in a house back of his store and had aq orchard there. Some of the people who lived in Syracuse then, according to Schrom were Ketrings, Miles, Phorbur, Bushong and Dr. Byerly. o If all the mistakes that a modern 'stenog makes were laid end to end, I they would make a couple of pearl inecklaces.
