every city in the United States,
for the problem of the reformed
criminal is always with us.
Burke was elected last fall,
along with Mayor Rudolph Blan-
kenburg, on reform ticket,
and this former enemy of society
sneak thief, purse snatcher,
yeggman, gambler, burglar, safe
cracker and dope fend-haS
stood uniformly for pure politics
and good government.
A former pal of Burke'S, who
had known him in the Charles
town, Mass, state prison, black
mailed him until Burke, driven to
desperation, made public con-
fession and gave the president Of
the council his resignation.
Mayor Blankenburg believes
that Burke's resignation should
be refused, that his reform is gen
uine, and that society should ac-
cept him for what he is today, in
spite of his past.
Here is the story of Burke's
life, written by himself:
By William Burke.
1 don't know who my father
was. don't know who my moth
er was. l don't know when and
where / was born.
The first thing l can recall is
selling newspapers as a kid in
New York, eating where l could
with the few pennies / made, and
sleeping in doorways or any old
place. l fell in with a bunch of
gopher men," or safe crackers.

got in with a bunch Of "moll bu-
ders, or the kind of pickpockets
who go in for women's handbags
and trinkets. l picked pockets
for quite a while. l was nabbed
a bunch of times and went to the
island for ten, thirty or sixty day
''bits."
After shaking the "mol1 buzz

'yegg men," A beat it. / helped
to pull off a number of Jobs in
and around Chicago, but they
never caught up to me.
| blew back to New York the
year after the Jamestown food. l
struck the town with a bundle of
coin. Invent in for poker and
roulette and policy. and all the
rest Of it, l lived the life of the
gambler.
From gambling l drifted into
sneak thief work. l went in for
bank, apartment house and sec
ond story jobs. This brings my
story up to around 1898.
Wenever had any trouble max
ing a getaway. It was soft. We
used to get big money at times.
/ always gambled away or blew
my share in and then l would
have to start out on a fresh job
to get more money.
l hit Boston in 1908, a lone
worker out for myself.
Within three years l pulled off
from $50 to 400 jobs. | went in

Germaine came back very strong and from
that time on had the better OF the fight
The idea OF Reagan breaking his hand
In the second round Is absurd. as he used
his right hand all through the fight Rea-
gan claims that he knocked Germaine dowr
three times In the second round. This Il
an absolute falsehood. as there was not
clean knockdown scored in the entire
twenty rounds by either fighter.
Germaine had badly festered ear which
had to be lanced the day previous to the
fight by DR.. Fisk of this city. Reagan
played on this sore spot on every oppor-
tunity and I really believe II caused to a
great extent the weakening of Germaine.
The people here are justly Indignant at
the report that the townspeople were all
out with their Gatling guns TO see that
Germajne did not get the worst OF It, They
are all good lawabiding citizens here and
are not in the habit of running TO every
fight with their guns OIL. 1 have been here
six months and must say that have new
er found a cleaner bunch OF sporting men
any place than have here al Price and
the beauty OF 1t is they smile AT defeat
as we'll as victory
There are few boys here who are
anxious to bet most anything from $500 up
that Germaine is the better man at 1872
pounds ringside. This match does not nee
essarily have TO be pulled off at Price as
the boys will bet their money on this bout
any place In the United States. The peo-
pie here are very anxious to see these
two meet again, as they sure did put up
a grand battle Yours very truly
