"If YOU have a steady job as a
printer. don't try TO make money ON
the side by doing odd jobs as a bur
glar at night This is the advice
which Frank King, former makeup
man in the Kankakee Daily Times Of
flee, handed out to the citizens IF
that town through cell door in the
Kankakee county Jail.
Mr.. King also has another adage
which he intends To have framed
when he gets out of Jail. 1t is this:
IF you must be a printer and II
burglar both don't act as though you
know more than the reporters when
the city editor asks you to set up

Frank King was a nice, gentleman
ly type-setter in the office of the
Monday. He lived at the Central
Hotel. and moved somewhat in So
cietS circles after his paper went to
press in the afternoon. He always
got up early in the morning and be-
fore breakfast read the burglar news
in the papers. When he found bur-
glar story that was particularly eX-
citing he often read il aloud to the
other bOarders. He was specially in
terested in whether or not the police
thought they were going to catch
the burglar. King always laughed
out loud when he read:
The police have no clew to the
perpetrators of the outrage"
When the local reporters faxed a
few details on the burglaries King
used to eXclaim: THAT is not sol"
to the other boarders, who were
reading aloud. Sometimes he looked
scared and glanced at the door after
saying this. as though he had spoken
without thinking. The patrons of
the Central House used to wish that
King was chief of police. They knew
he could catch the burglar. He was
so wise.
King landed in Kankakee from
Louisville nine months ago. There
hadn't been u burlary in the city for
