The frantic pursuit by the police which
followed this brief campaign taught him
caution. In the next year or two he
spread his operations far and wide.
All the time he was building up a great

One by one he drew all the criminal element
Of the country to him by guaranteeing them
better profits and more immunity than
they could hope for working alone; He
had fsw confdnnts but hundreds OF spies

capture or suppression. Many women
