Dashing Police Work.

Three daring crimes-one Of them
robbery and murder, one a highway
robbery at the point Of a pistol at a
busy junction point and one the rob-
berry of jewelry store and the stand
ing off of a crowd by the armed rob.
ber-have come to pass within few
hours. 1t is sensational string Of
crimes. and will perhaps set. some per-
sons to talking of a "crime wave"
But in the case Of each of these
crimes the police made an arrest with
in a few minutes, or few hours. and,
as the circumstances are now related,
seem to have caught the criminals.
The police believe they have the right
men. This is police work Of excellent
quality, and the citizens Of the Dis
trict pass over to the policemen and
the police organization a heaping
measure Of praise.
Each of these crimes was the deed
Of a bold, desperate and dangerous
man. They were not crimes Of i'm
pulse, but Of plan and premeditation.
Men who can commit crimes Of this
kind are not numerous, and II the po-
lice have these thieves, one Of them a
murderer and the. others potential
murderers, the city may feel easier.
1t may feel easier not only because Of
the quick capture of the criminals, but
the quickness Of the police work will
certainly act as deterrent on other
criminals who contemplate such deeds.
The police have done well.
