THE TRAGEDY
OF THE LAWLESS

We have the positive assertion
that
When the burglars not engaged
in his employment
Or maturing his felonious little
plans
His capacity for innocent enjoy
ment
Is as great as that Of any other
mans.
The statement is borne out by
the stories that come from New
York of the home life of the Dia-
mond brothers, now in Jail charg-
ed with having planned one OF
the most infamous crimes ever
committed in that city-the de-
| liberate murder of two bank
messengers and the theft Of
$4,000 that the messengers
were carrying.
The Diamonds appear to have
been regarded in Brooklyn as
model citizens. They were pro-
minent socially and in the busi.
ness world and had made especi-
ally notable records in high
school athletics. They were uni
versally looked upon as decent
people and good fellows. Ap
parently it was never suspected
that their business was upon the
verge of bankruptcy, and in des.
peration they plotted the crime
no doubt to save their position
in the community as much as
for love of money itself.
Furthermore. the crime was
revoltingly villainous. They
turned loose upon the unsuspect.
ing bank messengers q pair Of
New York gunmen. That is t.
say, they made certain that tn.
messengers would be not only
robbed, but killed. for the gun
man isn't human. Invariably ,

drug addict, under the spell of
his favorite narcotic, he kills
for the sheer joy of killing. 1t
was so in this instance. Not a
word was said to the doomed
messengers. The gunmen SIM
ply stepped up to one and began
shooting, then turned on the
other and killed him as ruthless
Iy. The Diamonds must have
known what was to happen; !;
therefore they are of the most
repulsive type of criminals, the
sort that lacks even the courage
o commit its own murders, but
sends its creatures abroad to
take all the risks. The crea-
lures whom the Diamonds en-
ployed were cold blooded fiends,
the most frightful type known to
the underworld. One Of their
victims was a man who had
stood in battle for his country,
one who had risked his life in
defence Of every American home,
including that of the Diamond
brothers.
But there was a mis-step
somewhere, and the counter-at-
tack of the law crashed home be-
fore the Diamonds were pre-
pared for it. Now that they are
behind prison bars, the attention
of the world, as it always does,
turns from the crime, and is fix
ed upon the criminals. More es-
pecially is it fixed upon those in
nocent victims Of the Diamonds,
the members Of their family.
The ruin Of their once happy
home obscures the memory Of
the blood-drenched subway sta
tion where q veteran from the
Western Front died, not in uni
form, indeed but still in line OF
duty. Pity for these people, the
aged mother, the sisters, the
small son of one of the prisoners,
is all too apt to lead US to believe
hat they are somehow victims OF
the law, instead of victims OF
the malefactors, just as much
as were the dead messengers.
1t is the old tragedy of the
lawless-the brunt of his crimes
always falls upon the innocent
first upon those who stood close
to the criminal himself. Elec.
trocution of the Diamonds will
simply add to the fearful total
Of the woe that they have
brought into the world; and In
