See where Police Captain Paddy
LAWN is. browsing out in the Hyde
Park station woods, where graft en-
tereth not and neither does the graft

Think of Paddy, the man who
broke the stockyards and newspaper
strikes wasting his time and talents
chasing the waves back from Jack
son Park beach of summer evenings!
'Tis. enough to make any political
wrecker of a perfectly good Demo-
cratic party weep briny tears!
And, naturally. if Halpin and
O'Brien went the way that other Off
GERS who have kicked against the
Lawrence pricks went, there would
be room for LAWN down in the loop,
would there not?
There certainly would! And natur-
ally again, considering the zeal that
LAWN showed in breaking the news

higher of the two positions might be

Think how much more happy the
broken ranks of Hearst would be if
Paddy LAWN were only made cap
tain of detectives, sort of uncrown-
ed king of crookdom, with unlimited
power over loop saloons!
Far be it from US to suggest even
for one moment that Paddy LAWN
would not be as square as either Hill
pin or O'Brien.
Very likely Paddy LAWN bought his
$4,000 home after the stockyards
strike which he so efficiently broke
for the packers, on the instaIlment
plan, nickel down and a nickel

But LAWN admires Andy, and Andy

of being bosom friend of LAWN.

in pursuit of the bauble fame by get
ting the auto-bandit boys convicted
on their own confessions, it was at
the Hyde Par kstation, with the able
assistance of Paddy, that Hoyne ac-
quired said confessions.
And that photographs of Hoyne
and Paddy, posed in brave attitudes,
as they Intercepted the boy bandits,
appeared in the Hearst newspapers
about three times per day in those
days.
And one can understand how
much nicer it would be for Andy and
Maclay to have their friend Paddy
nearer the Hearst and criminal build
ings so they could embrace him more
often.
One of the incidental things that
Hoyne has discovered while on the
trail of the terrible "crime trust" is
that Chicago pickpockets pay pro-
lection money.
Maybe Chicago pickpockets do, but
if so Chicago pickpockets are darn
ed sight more foolish than we
thought 'em.
Pickpockets don't need to pay for
protection in Chicago. They can get
all the protection they want from
some of our fine, fancy laws, with
the able assistance of certain of our
judges.
The conviction of a pickpocket,
unless caught red-handed, is a prac-
teal impossibility in Chicago. And
since pickpockets don't usually work
in police stations they are not often
caught red-handed.
If a jealous policeman arrests a
man he knows to be a professional
pickpocket and hauls him up before
a Judge, the odds are abotu ten to one
that he gets the finest bawIing out in
the world for arresting a. man with
out bringing in enough evidence to
convict.
