and went to Edinburgh on spree. There,

out Of the way for good. For years he
had been thorn In the flesh Of France,
England and America. Clever, &C.
complished and slippery as an eel, he
pulled of one daring job after another.
If the latest one was committed In France,
he would turn up next in New York or
Chicago. Then, after smother big haul,
he would appear in Leicester Square,
debonair, nonchalant, snilingly insolent.
Sometimes, Of course, he was caught.
But he always managed to get of with
light sentences or succeeded In escaping
punishment entirely.
In time he became over-confdent.
Early In 1902 he robbed the Bank of
Lyons Of $50, 900 francs, and the franc
was worth twenty cents then.
Instead Of jumping to New York or
London, as was his custom, Guerin boldly
marched into Paris and took suite Of

Eddie Guerin was bending over his
work a few weeks later when a guard
"brutally attacked" him. But, as he did
so, the guard whispered in his ear to pre-
tend to be dead. Guerin took the cue
and toppled over. They dragged him to
a clump of bushes in the swamp. Nearby
was a roughly-made boat.
Guerin was reported dead.
He was faithful to his three compan-
ions, sent them word, and that night the
four of them started off in the crazy boat,
through the shark-infested equatorial
waters for the Dutch coast, 200 miles
away.
The Italian boy developed a fever and
died. Next night Guerin overheard the
other two plotting to kill him, believing
that if he had enough money to bride the
guards he had roll concealed. Covering
them with his revolver, Guerin made the
