LACK ORIGINALITY.
Why Many Criminals Are Easily Brought
to Justice.

Why Many Criminals Are EASILY brought
to Justice.
Zone reason why detectives appear
to do something miraculous occasional
ly is that there is after all very little
originality in criminals, said one Of
Chief Hazen's sleuthhounds recently.
when a man sets out to get money
by crooked means, he seldom sits down
and evolves new plan On the con-
trary, he evidently thinks of the smart
cases he has heard of at different times,
makes up his mind which suits him
best and copies the plan adopted very
closely indeed.
Hence, when the detective sets out,
he has, in many instances, quite a
string Of precedents to take as guides to
the course the criminal will probably
pursue.
Zone case, years ago, that helped me
immensely in the business, was forg-
cry. The man had disappeared and left
no clew whatever behind.
"I obtained access to his room and
found that he had developed partial
ity for cutting scraps from newspapers.
There was whole drawerful of these
and went through them carefully.
Several had relation to forgery
cases, and one cutting that appeared to
be pretty badly fingered described how
forger had got away in woman's at
tire.
IT worked ON the theory that my
bird had flown in this manner and fol.
lowed it up until l finally got on the
track and captured the criminal.
1.-THE capture was regarded as very
remarkable one, but, as matter OF
fact, the runaway had left for me an
exceedingly valuable clew. If he had
