THE MEN WHO MAKE CRIME PAY
Continued from page fifteen

when they are forced to share a
Jail cell. The careerist will be
courteous but distant with an
amateur arrested for rape, assault
or even theft. He figures there is
something wrong with a man who
has so little control as to assault
someone. As to the thief, he's a
bungler, likely to- get nearby
professional into trouble.
The code further provides that
when a professional 4hief learns
another is in danger. he must do
all he can to tip him off, even if
he doesn't know him. A shoplifter
was once working New York de-
partment store. He had moved
into position to purloin what he
was after when he spotted a man
filching an article from a counter.
He didn't know the man person
ally but recognized him as pro-
fessional. He also knew that he
himself was being tailed by a
woman who might be a store
operative. He figured that if he
could spot the others thievery,
the detective would, too. He
brushed against the other thief,
muttered Mix" and that was
enough.
Evening star., 1951-04-15
They're Careful

ONE professional will avoid doing
anything that might endanger an
other professional. When two shop
lifters meet in store they do
not speak. Each figures he may
be known to the store detective,
and his talking to the other thief
will cast suspicion on that gentle
man too.
A man must help brother pro-
fessional even if he hates him.
Evening star., 1951-04-15

At the bottom of the scale, by
general agreement, are pick
pockets.
Gangsters are seldom considered
part of the hierarchy. Most pro-
fessionals dislike criminals who
use force. It's bad for business.
1t turns on the heat. And gang
sters, oddly enough, are often lone
wolves who don't adhere to an
accepted. traditional procedure.
Evening star., 1951-04-15
Underworld Code

l his procedure involves code
which is common bond among
all members of the truly profes-
sional underworld. To be sure, like
any other code of the underworld,
real or fictitious, it is followed
only within reason, only so long
as it pays the follower. But its
very existence signalizes the in
corrigibility of the careerist.
The code insists that thieves
should never steal for thrill or
revenge, only for gain. once had
a professional jewel thief picked
up and brought to me for ques-
tioning. He had been identified
wrongly. it turned QUIT from a
rogues' gallery picture as the
man who had sexually assaulted
young woman.
As soon as my questioning re-
vealed to him what our suspicion
was, he stiffened, haughtily in
formed me, When Pm working,
I'm a thief. Stealing is a business.
/ never mix business with pleas
ure" He was subsequently cleared
of suspicion of rape.
This same feeling is evident
when amateur and professional
get together, which is usually only
