Harry Howard, the English bank burglar,

criminals have risked their lives in their
efforts TO escape.
Curly" Harris one of the most desperate
burglars in the country. did 1t several
times. Harris shot policeman in Phila-
delphia and was sent TO the Eastern Peni-
Tertiary for long term. He escaped, but
was arrested in Pittsburgh. The Philadel-
phia police sent a special car after him
and while they were bringing him back
the fugitive. with his hands still in hand
cuffs, jumped from the rear platform OF
the car while the train was travelling at
the rate of forty miles an hour. Nothing
was heard of him for several years and
1t was thought that he must have been
killed instantly when he jumped from the
train or had died soon afterwalu of his
injuries. The reason for his disappearance,
however subsequently turned out to be
the fact that he had been serving SEN
tence in the north of New York for
robbery. He committed many other
serious crimes after his wonderful jump
from the moving train and served various
prison terms.
An equally desperate act was that OF
Eddie Quinn, a very remarkable character.
He was of a very different type to that
of Curly" Harris, but equally courageous.
Quinn was a college graduate and came OF
a good Chicago family. He had a long
and varied criminal career in which he
displayed the utmost bravery at times.
He was absolutely without fear and when
he travelled with me he suggested many
a wild proposition which filed my usually
calm heart with dread. He was very
stubborn.
