AS a matter of fact, while the
revolver is the most convenient
weapon to carry and, when hand
led by the expert, is the surest in
its results, the average crook
would prefer almost any other
kind of weapon. The revolver, it
must be remembered, is noisy and
it is the crooks ambition to con-
duct whatever business he has in
hand, in a manner calculated to
attract as little attention as pos
sible. He always carries a gun

but he just naturally hates to
create a disturbance.
To that end, he will, whenever
possible, use any of the so-called

with the intention of committing
murder. He will kill if he has to,
