Los Angeles herald., 1907-04-03

when l am captured in crowd a
dozen or more rowdies jump in and
declare that they were the first to
properly identify me, with the result
that in several instances 1 have had a
fairly hot time of it getting my man
safely to the office.
Peculiarly enough, however, each
time I have been caught by a woman
my captor has been wise enough to
give me the salutation quietly, with
the result that 1 had the winner in the
office before the crowd was aware that
the chase had been brought to an end
Now that L have given you all this
second story dope, I will outline briefly
what 1 intend doing during noon hour
today. In the first place 1 will en-
deavor to circulate among you-THE
SAME AS WILL EVERY OTHER
MAN IN THE CROWD.
1 will not make my appearance in
either an automobile or drop from the
heavens in a parachute.
1 WILL SIMPLY BE ONE OF
THOSE WHO ARE LOOKING FOR
ME-AND THE CHANCES ARE 1
WILL BE THE BUSIEST MAN IN
THE BUNCH.
Doesn't Look Mysterious
Some people have the idea on these
special appointments that 1 will be
found strutting up and down looking
the personifcation of mysteriousness
Just forget that and go after me today
with an idea that 1 am one of several
hundred smooth faced men among
you. Look my pictures over, study the
Bertillon description taken of me and
furnished the Los Angeles Herald by
Bert r. Parker, in charge of the Los
Angeles bureau of criminal identifica-
tion-and then start to hunt around
just the same as though you were a
professional detective searching in a
crowd for a well known crook.
AS 1 have already given Captain
Planners men an opportunity Of
looking me over" before the date of
my official disappearance, I may have
considerable difficulty in evading cap
ture. 1t will simply be up to the boys
from headquarters to do their very
best and if they win they will have the
credit of accomplishing that which no
professional detective of New York,
Chicago, Philadelphia, Boston, Pitts
burg or New Orleans has been able to
accomplish
Police Would Like $1,000
Should I be gathered in today by one
of Captain Planners or Chief Kerns
men 1 will have no feeling other than
disappointment and chagrin. 1 think
the thousand dollars would be greatly
appreciated by any of the boys at
tached to police headquarters.
However, candidly. 1 do not intend
getting caught by professional in Los
Angeles if there is any way out of 1t.
want the actual residents of this city
to come in on the thousand dollars.
That is what l am here for
A thousand dollars is quite a lot Of
money. Many of us have to work
steadily an entire year to accumulate
that amount. and when you consider
that II can be gathered in, simply by
the application of your individual clev-
ernesG l fail to see why one of you
don't get in line and go after me just
as though you really meant 1t.
l viii be captured here sooner or
later-perhaps today-and then you
will discover-when too late-that pos
sibly your next door neighbor has been
clever enough to take advantage Of the
opportunity now presented to land
goodly sized bundle of yellow backs.
Anyhow, you can all bet YOUR merry
Los Angeles lives that 7 v'N vetty
