all classes, yet he always stood ready
to prefer a helping hand to the un-
fortunate malefactor whose repen-
tence was genuine and whose desire
to reform was sincere.
Knowing criminals and their
methods, their. weaknesses and their
human side as perhaps, no other man
of his time had known them, Pin
kerton never sympathized with the
theorist and the sentimAntalist who
sought to reform desperate. hunted
men by kind words, but he did know
that little help and little en-
enlargement at the right time and
in the right place We're frequently
more effective than Imprisonment.
Scores of former criminals scattered
over the country are now living hon
est and useful lives as a result of
the reform measures practiced by
the arch enemy Of their criminal
days.
William Allan Pinkerton and his
brother, Robert A. succeeded to the
business of their father, Allan Pin
kerton, when The latter died in 1884
after founding the detective agency
which bears his name. This was be.
fore the powerful armor- plated
vaults, electrically operated and
protected, were heard Of, and safe
blowers were in their hey-day. De-
termined to specialize in bank pro-
lection, William Pinkerton enlisted
the support of leading financial in
stitutions of the country and then
made detailed study of the men
who were preying upon them. He
warned noted bank robbers as they
were arrested:
"You leave my people alone and
I'll leave you alone. If you don't
III follow you to the end of the
earth"
This warning made deep impress
sion upon many Of the most danger
our thieves, and after few convic-
tions had been obtained there was a
noticeable decrease in the number
Of bank robberies. Some scoffed at
the big detectives warning but most
of them were caught in time.
William A. Pinkerton was born in
Dundee, Illinois, April Z, 1876. He
was educated in public and private
schools and when ready for college
entered Notre Dame University. At
the age of 20 he married Margaret
S. Ashling of Adrian, Michigan, who
