entered the penitentiary.
TN another instance the bureau was insexu@
mental in capturing a man wanted by the
Police Department Of st. Louis for the murder
Of Patrolman Mccormick. Information was
received on June 3, 1929 that one Earl Reed
had escaped from the Indiana State Prison
Farm at Greencastle four days earlier. with
this information came the news that this sans
man was wanted in ST. Louis for the murder Of
Mccormick. !
For q whole year the case slept. Then m
June Of 1890 the Identification division received
a set Of hngerprints from officers in Jerome,
Ind, who had arrested a man who called him.

wanted to know If he might by any chance
have criminal record.
The bureau Immediately discovered that Ross

authorities as well as with the officials at the

tertiary for 10 to 20 years the robbery
charge, but in view of the murder charge in
ST. Louis arrangements are now being made to
transfer him to that city to stand trial.
The most recent exploit Of the Department
of Justice men and one which amply illustrates
their skill as detectives, was the uncovering Of q
plot to sabotage the giant dirigible Akron, now
being built at the Goodyear Zeppelin dock in
Akron, Ohio, for the U. S. Navy. The affair was
made public when a skilled mechanic was ar
rested charged with deliberately trying to
weaken the framework of the ship so that 1t
would be wrecked when it took to the air.
Back Of this lay a long investigation.
Last Fall q naval torpedo plane crashed In
San Diego, Calf. An investigation indicated
that some one in the factory where the plane
was built had cleverly weakened the planes
wing spars that they would collapse under
pressure.
The plane had been built in q Cleveland
factory. Department of Justice operatives
traced 1t, learned that the man who would have
been In the best position to weaken the wing
spars had quit his job and had gone to work
for the Goodyear Zeppelin people. The investi-
gators moved to Akron and put men at work
beside this man to win his confidence.
After months Of watching they charged that
he was planning to wreck the giant dirigible.
He was taken into custody and was held In
heavy bond for trial.

and Pullman conductor of the train. The rail-
road conductor identified q photograph OF
Durkin as the man who had boarded his train
at Alpine and gave good description of the
woman with him.
Special agents out Of Dallas and San Antonio
then learned that couple using the same bag
gage check numbers as those which had been
used by Durkin out of Alpine had bought
tickets at San Antonio on the NJ. X. d T. Rail
road for St Louis. Their train was due to
arrive there at IL that same morning.

show rooms under circumstances identical with
the Durkin system. The motor serial and
other assembly numbers on this Cadillac were
procured by Department Of Justice agents
A WEEK passed. The sheriff at Pecos, Tex,
noticed a green car on the street and asked
the young man at the wheel to identify himself
He told the sheriff glibly that he was Fred
Conley," . deputy sheriff from Los Angeles,
and the guns evident in the car upheld the
story He added, for good measure, that he
had been working of and on in the movies and
that he was now en- route East with his wife.
The sheriff asked him to produce papers show
ing ownership Of the car and the youth oblig-
ingly volunteered to go to his hotel and get
them.
Disarmed by the innocent appearance of the
man, the sheriff let him go to the hotel. When
young Mr.. Conley failed to reappear the sheriff
went to the hotel himself. He found that the
man had left somewhat hastily few moments
before and departed from Pecos at a rate vastly
exceeding the normal speed limit.
1t did not dawn the sheriff who had
handled many auto thieves in his time, that
mr.. Conley" was the notorious Durkin. Never
theless, convinced that the car had been stolen
he wrote letter to the Office of the Bureau of
Investigation at FL Paso, relating the incident
and suggesting that the bureau might have
something on this bird
Excitement prevailed at e. Paso for the agent
in charge instantly recognized the physical de-
Scription of the man DurEn
East and west the agent kept telegraph and
telephone wires hot in effort to stop the
car. Special agents dispatched from FL
Paso TO comb the country in the remote western
section of Texas. They found the car deserted

west Of Fort Stockton, Tex, after an all-day
search through the desert cactus and sage
brush The right wheel was broken of.

closed that he had hauled the stranger and a
good-looking woman who was with him to
Girvin, where, they said, they intended to catch
a train to Alpine, Tex, the Mexican
border. Knowing Durkin's fondness for the
bright lights, the agents did not allow them
selves to be thrown off the trail by this state
ment. They could not picture the night club
habitue undergoing the hardship of dangerous
desert travel in country infested with bandits
Accordingly they sped to the ticket office of
the Southern Pacific Railway at Alpine, and
learned that strange man and woman had
taken train at 1890 am. Monday, January
10, for San Antonio.
From train dispatchers they obtained the
names and addresses Of the train conductor
