There now lives Ia ST. Louis in the serene
enjoyment of healthy old age, a man,
who in his prime, was one of the most
expert burglars IN the country. His
name. which is said to be familiar to the
police of every city, is Truman Ryan. He
lives with his wife in his own house, aud
is supposed to be in easy circumstances,
the result Of many years close attention
to the business from which he has now
retired The most singular feature of his
existence, however, is the professional
instruction which he imparts for a rea-
sonabe compensation to young men who
are DESTROYS OF becoming expert Grimm
ais. The Post-Dispatch prints long
account of the experience of one OF its
reporters who assumed the role of an en-
bryo cracksman. and took Il lesson in
Rvan's school of burglary. The instruc-
ton of that day comprised an enumera-
ton of the burglars tools and general
explanation of their use, together with a
few practical examples of clever work
and many comprehensive suggestions.
The reporter was informed that Ryan has
about dozen regular pupils, some Of
whom are about ready to be graduated.
