DETECTIVE BARNETT'S STORY.

"The tapping Of old Simpsons
place." said Detective Barnett, "was
new wrinkle for the New York police.
1t was so easy, the only wonder Is it
never had been worked before.
II was put on the case the night OF
the robbery, and made a careful in
vestigation into all the circumstances
with very little result. There was not
a clerk who had got good look at
the thieves. About the only thing OF
value in their description was that
one of them had an india ink l. on his
right hand. This was very little to
work on, but I started to do the best
/ could. l made up my mind, without
any evidence to support it, that the
work had been by one of the Fourth
ward crooks. That gang was about as
tough a one as a fellow would care
about going against.
II dropped down into the Fourth
ward and took lodging in a Water
street den in the role Of an ex-convict
just out of Jail after doing a long
stretch. / kept much to myself for a
while and did not try to push my way
ahead. l knew enough of the gangs
methods to be sure that asking ques-
lions would make them suspicious. l
went in and out the Water and Cherry
street dives, met thieves of all kinds,
but waited for them to make advances
to me. I had the convict's shuttle to
perfection, and never took a step with
out the movement of the lockstep. 1t
took me more than week to get with
in speaking distance of several old
time crooks. was very reticent and
talked in the subdued voice that
thieves acquire in JAIL I put aside a
job or two that was offered to me in
the crooks line, as most thieves will
do after long stretch. Still let it
be known that if anything good was
going on I would not hesitate about
taking a hand.
"Just to keep suspicion from being
aroused, went into couple of jobs
on Long Island. I marked the men
who were in 1t, just for future refer
ence. showed them that I was a
pretty good thief, and got the conf
dence of Ted Mulry and Pete Abrams

Crime t. Kiss,

In Russia it is crime for lovers
to kiss in public, and not very long
ago two young men and two young
women were arrested in Odessa for
having been guilty of this otfense.
They had all been dining together in
a restaurant, and kissed on parting.
They were condemned to short terms
of imprisonment and the sentences
were confirmed on appeal. The gen
eral fine in Russia for kiss in the
tramcar it may cost anything up to
Is shillings.

Jimmy Parsons, who ran a fence in
Whitechapel. Parsons had customer
waiting for the stones. He got $4,000
for them, and that shows you what
a poor run for his money a crook gets.
"Tim got square with the old man
in a roundabout way. Parsons had a
daughter, Nellie by name, a slim,
black-eyed, black-haired lass, the very
look of whom would set the heart of
any man to jumping unless he had ice
in his veins. Tim was bowled over at
gone with him. Nellie gave us a tip
on an old cove who was in the jewelry
repairing line. He was said to have
big lot of Doodle boarded away In a
little shop where he had worked for 80
Years or more. Nellie visited the old
man and got into his confidence. She
didn't fancy the work, but she would
do anything Tim said. The old cove
talked freely with her about his hoard
and complained that when he was
through with it he had no chick nor
child on earth to leave it to. She got
an idea from him where it was kept,
and when she reported to us we made
up our minds that it would be rank
cruelty to leave England without do
ing something to relieve the old man
from worry.
ellis name was Bennett, think, and
he lived alone in a very lonely spot
near the Thames on Cooper street.
Tim and called upon Bennett late in
the afternoon to see about getting a
watch repaired. While he was squint-
ing at the works with an eyeglass Tim
thumped him with bit of lead pipe.
I growled at Tim for hitting him so
hard. From the way he fell / thought
his light was out. The old man us
ually went out about the time that we
visited him, so Nellie told us, so we
just locked the door, put out the lamp
and went on a scout for the coin.
eve turned everything inside out
without making much Roadway. We
got only few dollars here and there
Then I remembered that Nellie told
me that when the old man wanted to
get any money he always took small
ladder and went into little closet in
the sleeping room adjoining the shop
found the. ladder under the counter
and the closet was behind the ole
mans bunk. After little search
found a box and a small bundle.

that had struck the right spot. The
money was in Bank of England notes
and figured up just $4,000 in Ameri

II was hoping there was more, fol
the old man was lying very still. 1t's
worth more than that to have muir

fixed everything up in proper shape

without ever a soul piping us off. Oh
Bennett did not die, but the shocl

JEFF o'NElLL's STORY.

with Tim after the whole gang near
iy got settled by a skunk of a thief
who gave up to the police to save him
self from doing twenty stretch. But
it did not do him any good, as his
body was picked up in the East river
with hole in his skull soon after

through his front door. This made us
both a little skittish about night
work.
"At this time Simpson, the old orig
inal pawnbroker, was running shop
on Chatham street, and was doing a
regular business in setting diamonds
besides. He used to put a lot of
the sparklefs in his window every
day. As Tim and I were going by
the place he said to me: Whats the
matter with giving the old man call?'

to hit up the safe, which was noised

We went out and We walked around
till Tim found a loose cobblestone.
He picked this up and put It under his
coat. Then We went to Simpsons.
On the outside front door was a heavy
iron grating, which was shut at night
to keep the mugs away from the door.
1t was just coming on evening, and
Tim unfolded his little plan. I was to
fasten the iron door with the lock
while he put in the heavy window

pick, and before those inside were
aware of what had happened we were
out of sight. We went in different di-
rections and met at the old Gather

went into Riley's and looked over the
stuff. We were both pretty good
judges of the dewdrops, and the load
figured up about 100000. 1t was the

"The story of the robbery gave an
interview with Simpson and his clerks.
They said they did not see the faces
of the thieves. The police had nothing
to work on, except description OF
the stones. They hoped to nail us
when we sported them. But we had
been in the business too long for that.

ea1@ But statistics, you say, will
prove that crime is on the increase.
l question whether the number of
crimes in proportion to population

merely prove that more crimes are
reported, and greater publicity given
them by means of our perfected news
gathering systems. Certainly the New
York city of today shows vast inn
provement in morality over the city of
generation ago.
Recently two bank messengers were
robbed of $4,000 in broad day in a

Jeff O'Neill and Tim Little were
two of the most desperate members of
the gang, every member of which was
a desperate. After the passing of
Denny Brady, who carried to his grave
four bullets and more than hundred
knife scars, mementoes of his rough

crooks and the police, O'Neill and
Little became the king pins of des'

''pull' with the police seemed to be

from capture. But they were finally
