Plan II simple One.

Byrnes' plan was a simple one. He kept
tabs on the criminal classes just as the
police of Paris and Berlin keep tabs on all
classes of society. BY a system of inform

dives and "hangouts" he learned of the
thieves eomings and goings and could gem
orally put his hand on wanted man in
staLty.
The strong point Of his system was al
Ways the completeness of his staff Of in
formers. Famous criminals were on it,,

order might be given for tool by one o
the chiefs men. and then he himself b

In the whole time that he was in ehars'
OF the dsteetlve bureau the thieves caught
by his men received prison sentences ag'

The ability OF Mr. Byrnes on several oe'
caslons attracted the attention Of IN,
