SCIENTIFIC BURGLARS.
Wonderful Talent Shown by Some Of
These Criminals.

Wonderful Talent Shown by Some Of
These Criminals.
In an article in Pearsons Magazine
On the Scientific Burglar, j. P. Cough
Ian gives some interesting particulars
showing the wonderful mechanical
skill and talent displayed by this class
of criminals.
''The new burglar is essentially an
expert" said Captain McClusky, chief
of detectives of New York, to the writ
er few weeks ago in his office at po-
lice headquarters, Mulberry street.
"He has developed amazingly in clever
ness and ingenuity. frequently he
has invented-either as the result Of
sudden inspiration, or of careful and
laborious study-appliance and tools
that, were they applicable to legiti-
mate business, would be worth for
tunes as patents
1t is to the breaking (Den of safes
that the burglar has turned his most
crafty attention; it is the only feature
of his work that presents exceptional
difficulties, and the safe is. of course,
invariably the objective point of a
burglary. To get to the safe is a com
paratively easy task, but to set inside
that makes call upon all his re-
sources. When safes were less we'll
made than they are now many burg
! lar used lead-filled sledge, a cold
chisel and an ordinary Jimmy with
success, but today the safe that can be
! opened by such means is hardly likely
to yield enough to make the operation
paying. With the improvement IN
safe-making came the development If
safe-breaking. The burglar used gun
powder, dynamite and other explosives
with a large measure of success, and
even now this method, despite it's OBJ
vious objections, is still largely used
by criminals, but not by the most ex-
pert. The really clever burglar found
an explosion rude, clumsy and alarm
ing, besides being in itself dangerous
and consequently he looked ahead for
a better and quieter means of accom-
iplishing the same end. Here it may
be remarked that in my appliance used
by criminal, especially by burglar,
the great desideratum must always be
it's simplicity. A tool that is not port
able and easily worked is useless or al
most useless for his purpose.
The most modern and most complete
of all safe-cracking appliances consists
of horseshoe, or, more correctly,
magnet-shaped piece of the best steel,
pierced at the apex and both ends for
stout screws. 1t is so made as to slip
down back of the spindle of combin-
alton lock and has what one might
call it's delta" so narrow that the knob
of the handle overlaps both legs Of the
magnet. It is slipped into position in
moment; the screws are turned a
little at a time, alternately, against the
body of the safe, forcing out the mag
net and with it, of course, the spindle
In 60 seconds the spindle can be forced
from the strongest lock. A chisel that
fits the aperture made by removing the

There are, however, some burglars,
men known to be guilty of or implicat-
ed in bank and other robberies, who go
uncaptured and unpublished year after
year, because they cover up their
tracks so well that they leave no legal
evidence behind them. These men are
the real masters of their profession.
They are never off their guard, never
drunk. They only dissipate at rare
and regular intervals and are burglars
just as other men are merchants.
