& fferent clay from the ordinary
criminal. For your everyday thief Is
potentially a murderer and worse.
Devoid Of imagination, he steals be.
cause stealing seems easier than
working. Trapped, he kills.
Oh, L was philosopher, as I sat
in the window of my living room and
looked out upon Central Park with
its freshly green grass, its newly
leaved trees. the lovers walking
along the shady paths. or drifting IN
their boats on the little pond.
I was unique in history. l was a
criminal who could rid myself of
crininality at will. who could cut
myself off forever from the ways of
wickedness. I felt more than saw
age wrath: I felt contempt, as I
tossed away from me the evening
paper with its glazing headline.
1t was a sickening story beneath
the headline. 1t told Of the discovery
by the police of evidence indicating
the identity of a brute who had
shocked the city three days ago by
the wanton Staying of child
The child had been alone in the
apartment where she lived with her
parents. A burglar had entered, and
finding the girl alone, had killed her
apparently for the sheer joy of kill
ing The crime had been justified
not even by necessity. The child
could have been bound and gagged
if the man had feared that her out
cries would cause his capture. But
the little girl, seeing the intruder,
had asked him not to take a locket
which was her mothers gift to her.
Enraged at, her request, he had
struck her. Her parents had re-
turned later; before she died, she had
told them the facts.
1t was one Of those shocking
crimes that periodically make us
wonder how far man is removed
from the beast. 1t sent a whole city
into mourning, and made detectives
out of a hundred thousand citizens.
And now the police had discovered
that Swede Thomassen,f a notorious
jailbird, was the murderer. The
dragnet was spread, and the authori-
ties were confident that. the man
would be apprehended within a day

Leedon was the fence with whom

Doesn't Leedon know better than

The intruder was in my living

could see him. A big. burly, gross

Yes, 1 whom you know as John

I thought that a man could change
his character as easily as he changed

differently.
But on this spring night I built
myself air-cast1es. I had been down
to a certain section of the city and
had closed a deal with a fence q
man who bought from thieves their
loot. In a recent memoir Of mine

loss, had sailed for South America
on the morning after the theft. But
the profits of this latest venture Of
mine had been so tremendous that ]

caution in realizing them. l wanted
to- dispose of the lot at one trans.

ticking. I was a gentleman, no vul.
gar trader, and 1 would rather &C,
cept less for the loot from one man,
than make more by peddling.
So 1 had shown this fence the
complete Anderson collection; and
he had offered me 100000, perhaps
a fifth of their real value. But ever
that amount was too huge a sun,
for him to hand casually across a
counter. 1t would take him aweeli
to raise the money. And in seven
more days L would be independent

or so, I fervently hoped so; I would
have killed him myself and known
no conjunction.
I had read the sordid story Of
Swede Thomassen's career as the
paper gave it. And l saw that he
had begun as a cheap gangster. had
graduated into petty theft, had then
become a highwayman and was now
a red handed murderer. 1t was at
this stage Of my reading that I be
gan to congratulate myself because
was so different from Thomasser.
This difference made me the great
success that L was. For other
thieves visualized, in their moment
of ease, future thefts; I visualized. a
life Of righteousness.
