NY Life in Crime

Reported by John Barlow
Martin. (Harper; 3d.
Mr.. Martin, a journalist who
has specialized in stories of
crime, has transcribed the auto
biography of a professional
criminal.
This man, Mr.. Martin ex-
plains, is about As, clean, we'll
dressed, just short of handsome,
courteous, soft-spoken and in
telligent. The author calls him
Eugene and has changed the
names of associates and locali-
ties to protect innocent persons.
Otherwise. Mr.. Martin says,
the story Is just as Eugene die
tated it.
Eugene came from a good
home in q suburb Of Chicago.
He went to high school and
served in the Navy. There was
no compelling reason for him
to go into crime, he says; he
just did. He was a burglar,
a holdup man and, with &C
completes, a manipulation of
various schemes to steal truck
loads of goods and hijack alco-
hol, whisky and other products.
Sometimes he had two, or at
the most three. companions.
He did not like working with
gangs. He stayed out Of Or
ganized rackets. syndicates,
which. he explains, do not fool
with the type Of lawbreaking
he was engaged in. His story
holds a compelling interest.
Eugene tells in detail how
certain difficult robberies were
carried out, particularly safe
cracking and burglaries Of
stores and fine homes. Some
readers may feel it's a bad thing
to offer these technical secrets
to susceptible youths. On the
other hand, there is not much
glamor in Eugene's career, par
ticularly in the many years he
served in State and Federal
prisons. And now, in middle
age. he has nothing to show
for the small fortune he tossed
away in night spots and on
women. He has a modest,
legitimate job. not because he
has gone honest, but because,
with his long police record, he's
afraid to move in on any tempt
ing piece of easy money. It is
to be hoped that not many po-
lice are as crooked as those he
describes. &C. B. ].

Nearly so members of the

Col. Wharton bestowed first

"Clytie." incidentally, there
are only three sculptures in the
show, all good. But it is re-
grettable that so few sculptor

All of the above except Mrs.

BY Lawrence and Elizabeth Han

The title Of this biography Is
taken from q birthday greeting
addressed to Jane Carlyle by
her famous, difficult husband.
1t sums up their attitude to-
ward each other quite we'll.
They were miserable together,
but more so apart.
This newest study Of one Of
the most celebrated and tor
mented literary marriages is
the work Of a husband-and-
wife team. It Is interesting
largely because the Carlyles,
however much of a combined
headache they may have been
were never q bore. At the same
time it is disappointing, because
1t Is not enlightening.
A collection Of James letters
published two years ago told
the whole story, and in that
spirited Sotswoman's own re-
markable way. The Hansons
have converted this material
along with Carlyle's letters and
other contemporary records
into a running account Of the
much-reported courtship and
the long marriage that was a
duet Of hypochondriacs who
exchanged reproaches, symptoms
and proteStations of affection
during their 40 years together.
What the authors might have
brought to this mass of evil
dence Is a point Of view, or at
least Interpretation. But no.
where in the 500-odd closely
written pages is there any at
tempt to probe the sources of
the bouts Of temper and stormy
silence that periodically swept
the Carlyle menage. It had
started out as a marriage of
minds-in an afterword the au-
thors incline to the view that
